Issuance of Series B-1 Preferred Stock |
Note 11. Issuance of Series B-1 Preferred Stock
On March 13, 2024, we signed a securities purchase agreement with certain healthcare-focused institutional investors that provided $50 million in gross proceeds to us through a private placement. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we issued to institutional investors $50.0 million in shares of our Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. 50,000 Shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were issued at a price of $1,000.00 per share and each share is convertible into shares of common stock at a rate equal to the initial $1,000 purchase price divided by the initial conversion price of $1.00 per share.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”), as of March 14, 2024, each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock is, subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company and, if applicable, shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”), in lieu of common stock
The Company has designated 50,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 50,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock. The Series B Certificate of Designation states that, to the extent that the conversion of the Series B-1 preferred stock results in a beneficial ownership interest in excess of the maximum percentage of common stock upon conversion, the holders will receive the as converted equivalent for the remaining shares in preferred stock.
On June 20, 2024, we held our annual stockholder meeting, and as a result, stockholder approval for the conversion of the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was obtained. On July 5, 2024, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company issued 42,118,000 shares of common stock and 7,882 shares of Series B-2 preferred stock in settlement of the automatic conversion of the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Series B-1 Preferred Stock have the following rights:
Dividends: Prior to the receiving Stockholder Approval, dividends will accrue, on all issued and outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, prior to and in preference to all other shares of capital stock of the Company, at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) compounded annually on the original per share price (plus any such accreted compounded amounts); provided that such annual dividend rate shall increase to fourteen percent (14%) if Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the first meeting of stockholders following the date of the Preferred Stock offering. If such dividends are not declared and paid in cash, the dividend amounts will be added to the aggregate liquidation preference then outstanding of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock. At all times following the Issuance Date, while shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends on shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis and without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein or otherwise) to and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock, which shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation) actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock, which shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation) are paid on shares of the Common Stock. Stockholder approval was received on June 20, 2024.
Voting: : Subject to certain limitations described in the Series B Certificate of Designation holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the common stock on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis as determined by dividing the liquidation preference with respect to such shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock by the conversion price. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Unless and until the Company has obtained the Stockholder Approval, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deemed issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (for purposes of calculating the number of aggregate votes that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to on an as-converted basis) will be equal to that number of shares equal to 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the Signing Date (excluding for purposes of the calculation, any securities issued on the Signing Date) (the “Cap”), which each such holder being able to vote the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by it relative to the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding multiplied by the Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote together with the Common Stock on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock-basis with regard to the approval of the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
On the tenth trading day following the announcement of the Stockholder Approval, each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into a unit consisting of: (1) the number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (A) the liquidation preference with respect to such share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, divided by (B) the conversion price, provided that, to the extent the share conversion would cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed 9.99%, such holder shall receive shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock in lieu of common stock, on a one-for-one basis, with respect to the number of shares of common stock that exceed 9.99% ownership divided by 1,000.
Liquidation Preference: The Series B-1 Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of one-times the original per share price of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments.
The Series B-2 Preferred Stock has the following rights:
Dividends: Dividends will accrue, on all issued and outstanding shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, prior to and in preference to all other shares of capital stock of the Company, at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) compounded annually on the original per share price (plus any such accreted compounded amounts). If such dividends are not declared and paid in cash, the dividend amounts will be added to the aggregate liquidation preference then outstanding.
Voting: Subject to certain limitations described in the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock is voting stock. Holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the common stock on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Accordingly, holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote for each whole share of common stock into which their Series B-2 Preferred Stock is then-convertible on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Liquidation. Upon any Liquidation, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and common stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all shares of Series B Preferred Stock as if they had been converted to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation immediately prior to such Liquidation, without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation or otherwise.
Conversion: Subject to the limitations set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation, at the option of the holder thereof, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, is convertible into the number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (A) the stated value ($1,000), divided by (B) the conversion price on the applicable conversion date, which is $1.00 as of the date of this report. |
