Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On August 1, 2012, the Company issued to selected officers and directors of the Company $400,000 in convertible subordinated notes. The net proceeds of $400,000 will be used for working capital purposes.

 

The notes are two-year notes (“Notes”) that accrue interest at 8% and mature on August 1, 2014. Accrued interest is payable upon redemption. The notes and accrued interest may be redeemed after six months. The notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at $2.44 per share as long as warrants previously issued to Hudson Bay Capital Master Fund are outstanding, or at $2.00 per share if the Hudson Bay Warrants are no longer outstanding. The Hudson Bay Capital Master Fund warrants expire on May 20, 2016. The Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated to amounts outstanding under the Company’s working capital bank line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank.

 

The foregoing description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of the Convertible Subordinated Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference. The press release announcing the Note issuance is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K that relates to the unregistered sale of equity securities is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

 

Securities to be issued upon conversion of the Notes into common stock will not be registered under the Securities Act. The securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes are being sold to accredited investors in reliance upon exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under, or an exemption from, the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
