9.	PREFERRED STOCK:

At December 31, 2013, the Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Series A Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 3,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A preferred stock has been eliminated and there were no shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Series B Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Series B Investment Agreement”) with RVL, an affiliate of Aston. The closing of the investment occurred on September 25, 2012. In consideration of cash of $6 million (the “Investment”), the Company issued to RVL 600,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.13, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series B Conversion Price”). The Series B Conversion Price was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 2, 2012, the date the Company entered into the letter of intent with respect to the Series B Investment. The proceeds from the Investment were used to extinguish the Exchange Notes and related accrued interest (see Note 8), to fund a settlement payment in connection with the settlement of the Philips lawsuit, to pay the fees and expenses in connection with the Investment and for working capital purposes.

 

After giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the other transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, the Investor owned 46,153,846 as-converted shares of common stock, or approximately 73% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Series B Investment resulted in a change in control of the Company. RVL is entitled to vote the Series B Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis with the Company’s common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2012, RVL converted 599,998 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into 46,153,692 shares of common stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $10 per share and will share ratably on an as-converted basis with the Company’s common stock in the payment of dividends and distributions. In addition, the Company is prohibited from taking certain actions specified in the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The Company has concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument. As the embedded conversion option in the Series B Preferred Stock is clearly and closely related to an equity-type host, the conversion option does not require classification and measurement as a derivative financial instrument.

A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) is recorded when the consideration allocated to a convertible security, divided by the number of common shares into which the security converts, is below the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date. The Company’s common stock price on the date of the Series B Investment Agreement was $0.13 per share, which was equal to the Series B Conversion Price. As the Series B Investment Agreement included certain conditions for closing, the commitment date for the Investment was deemed to be the date the shares of Series B Preferred Stock was issued. On September 25, 2012, the closing date of the Series B Investment, the Company’s common stock price had increased to $0.59 per share. As a result of the increase in the Company’s common stock price between the date of the Series B Investment Agreement and the closing of the Series B Investment, the Company recognized a BCF. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security. The Company received cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, totaling $5,195,000 for the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company allocated the entire net proceeds of $5,195,000 to the BCF, which was initially recorded in additional paid-in capital. The BCF was treated as a deemed dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock and was accreted to the Series B Preferred Stock using the effective interest method through the date of earliest conversion. As the Series B Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, the Company included a deduction of $5,195,000 in determining loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2012. The aforementioned deemed dividend had no impact on the Company’s stockholders’ equity.

The rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) would have normally required that the Company’s stockholders approve the Series B Investment prior to closing the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement. However, NASDAQ granted the Company an exception from this stockholder voting requirement under Listing Rule 5635(f), which provides that an exception may be granted when (i) the delay in securing stockholder approval would seriously jeopardize the financial viability of the enterprise and (ii) reliance on such exception has been expressly approved by the audit committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) comprised solely of independent, disinterested directors. NASDAQ also granted the Company an exception from the voting rights requirements of Listing Rule 5640 and IM-5640 with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Series B Investment Agreement.

Series C Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 25,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock , par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Series C Investment Agreement”) with RVL, and closed the transactions contemplated by the Series C Investment Agreement (the “Series C Investment”). The Company issued to RVL 10,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, for cash of $10 million (the “Series C Investment”). The proceeds from the Series C Investment were used to fund the Seesmart acquisition (Note 2), to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Series C Investment Agreement and the Seesmart Merger Agreement, and for working capital purposes.

The Series C Preferred Stock was initially non-voting and non-convertible. The Series C Preferred Stock became voting and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock effective May 15, 2013, following the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the written consent of the majority stockholder of the Company, dated as of December 20, 2012, approving the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.6889, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series C Conversion Price”).

RVL has the right to appoint four members to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), with the size of the Board not to exceed seven members. RVL’s right to appoint four directors will decline proportionately to take into account subsequent material reductions in RVL’s ownership position in the Company. In addition, for so long as shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will be prohibited from taking certain actions specified in the Series C Certificate of Designations without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, including, among other things, authorization of additional shares of capital stock, increases in the size of the Board, declaration of dividends, consummation of certain business combination transactions, and incurrence of indebtedness and liens.

The Series C Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series C Preferred Stock) plus accrued but unpaid dividends and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series C Preferred Stock converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

In the event of a change in control of the Company or a merger or recapitalization in which the Series C Preferred Stock is converted into property or securities other than shares of common stock, the Series C Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into common stock at a premium of 150% (if such event occurs prior to December 20, 2017) or 125% (if such event occurs on or after December 20, 2017) of the Series C Stated Value (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations) in place immediately prior to such event. Furthermore, from and after December 20, 2017, if the trading price of a share of common stock exceeds 200% of the Series C Conversion Price then in effect for any twenty (20) trading days in the immediately preceding thirty consecutive trading day period, the Company shall have the right to automatically convert the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock at the Series C Conversion Price.

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends payable at a rate per annum of 10% of the Series C Stated Value on the date of issuance (i.e. $1,000). Such dividends shall be payable through the issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock on each anniversary of the date of issuance, shall not be paid in cash, and will accrue and accumulate daily. Additionally, the Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably on an as converted basis with the common stock in the payment of all other dividends and distributions. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company accrued dividends of approximately $1,014,000.

The Company has concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument. As the embedded conversion option in the Series C Preferred Stock is clearly and closely related to an equity-type host, the conversion option does not require classification and measurement as a derivative financial instrument. As the Company’s common stock price was less than the Series C Conversion Price on the issuance date, the Company has not recognized a BCF.

Series D Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 13,000 shares of preferred stock as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).

On December 20, 2012, the Company issued 11,177 shares of newly-created Series D Preferred Stock, as partial consideration in the Seesmart acquisition (see Note 2). In the first quarter of 2013, the Company issued the remaining 738 shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the Seesmart Merger Agreement. The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting and was initially non-convertible. The Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share and will share ratably on an as-converted basis with the Company’s common stock in the payment of dividends and distributions. On May 15, 2013, all 11,915 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 1,712,167 shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.6959 (the “Series D Conversion Price”).

The Company has concluded that the Series D Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument. As the embedded conversion option in the Series D Preferred Stock is clearly and closely related to an equity-type host, the conversion option does not require classification and measurement as a derivative financial instrument. As the Company’s common stock price was less than the Series D Conversion Price on the issuance date, the Company did not recognized a BCF.

During 2013, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted into shares of common stock in accordance with their terms. Accordingly as of December 31, 2013, no shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

Series E Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 10,000 shares of preferred stock as Series E Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”).

On February 21, 2013, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to an investment agreement with RVL (the “Series E Investment Agreement”) for cash of $5 million. The Series E Preferred Stock is redeemable and convertible. The Series E Preferred Stock was initially non-voting and non-convertible and became voting and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock on May 15, 2013. The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $1.17, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series E Conversion Price”).

 

In accordance with the Series E Certificate of Designations, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have the same Board representation and consent rights as the Series B Shares and Series C Shares. The Series E Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference (the “Series E Liquidation Preference”) per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series E Preferred Stock, the “Series E Stated Value”) plus accrued but unpaid dividends and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series E Preferred Stock converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

The Company has the option to redeem all or any part of the Series E Preferred Stock for cash at any time subject to RVL’s right to convert and require delivery of shares of common stock. The redemption price to be paid by the Company is equal to 110% of the Series E Liquidation Preference if the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are redeemed on or before the first anniversary of the date of the original issuance of shares of Series E Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”), 105% of the Liquidation Preference if the Series E Preferred Stock redeemed after the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date, and the Series E Liquidation Preference if the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are redeemed at any time thereafter.

At the option of the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Company must redeem the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock so requested for cash at the Series E Liquidation Preference. Such option can only be exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (the “Series E Dividend”) payable at a rate per annum of 5% of the Series E Stated Value then in effect (the “Series E Dividend Rate”). To the extent funds are legally available and the Company is not contractually prohibited from paying such Series E Dividend, the Series E Dividend must be declared and paid from and including the Original Issue Date on each six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date. At the holder’s option, such dividends are payable through the issuance of additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock or in cash. To the extent the Company is unable to pay any Series E Dividend (i.e. in the event funds are not legally available or the Company is contractually prohibited from making payment), any such unpaid Series E Dividend shall be cumulative and shall accrue and compound on a quarterly basis at the then applicable Dividend Rate. Such unpaid Series E Dividend shall be paid as soon as funds are legally available or as soon as the Company is no longer contractually prohibited from paying such Series E Dividend, as applicable. Additionally, the Series E Preferred Stock shall share ratably on an as-converted basis with the common stock in the payment of all other dividends and distributions. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company accrued dividends of $218,000.

The Company has classified the Series E Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the financial statements as it is subject to mandatory redemption at the option of the holder. The Company has concluded that the Series E Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument than an equity-type instrument. The embedded conversion option in the Series E Preferred Stock is not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host and is further discussed below. The redemption call by the issuer and the redemption put by the holder were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore were not separated from the host instrument. The call by the issuer was exercisable at the balance sheet date, but was not deemed to be under the control of the Company since the principal holder of the Series E Preferred Stock holds the majority of the Company’s voting rights; accordingly the Series E Preferred Stock was accreted to the redemption amount in effect on the balance sheet date. As the Company’s common stock closing price immediately preceding the issuance date was equal to the Series E Conversion Price, the Company has not recognized a BCF.

 

The embedded conversion feature was not deemed to be closely and clearly related to the debt-type host instrument and before the modification described below did not meet the requirements for classification as equity. Accordingly, it was accounted as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings. The change in fair value of the embedded derivative included in the statement of earnings was $ 7.0 million were for the year ended December 31, 2013. On May 14, 2013, the host instrument was modified by eliminating certain provisions that prevented the embedded conversion feature from meeting the criteria for classification as equity. Accordingly, the fair value of the embedded conversion liability of $8.6 million as of May 14, 2013 was reclassified to paid in capital. The following gives pro forma effect to the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 had the modification been effective on February 21, 2013:

Series F Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 10,000 shares of preferred stock as Series F Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”).

On August 22, 2013, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to an investment agreement with RVL (the “Series F Investment Agreement”) for cash of $5 million. The Series F Preferred Stock is voting and redeemable. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $4.5881, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series F Conversion Price”).

In accordance with the Series F Certificate of Designations, the holders of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock have the same Board representation and consent rights as the Series B, C and E Preferred Stock. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference (the “Series F Liquidation Preference”) per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series F Preferred Stock, the “Series F Stated Value”) plus accrued but unpaid dividends and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series F Preferred Stock converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

The Company has the option to redeem all or any part of the Series F Preferred Stock for cash at any time subject to RVL’s right to convert and require delivery of shares of common stock. The redemption price to be paid by the Company is the Series F Liquidation Preference plus $100,000 if the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are redeemed on or before the fifth anniversary of the date of the original issuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”), or the Series F Liquidation Preference if the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are redeemed after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

At the option of the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the Company must redeem the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock so requested for cash at the Series F Liquidation Preference. Such option can only be exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

Each shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (the “Series F Dividend”) payable at a rate per annum of 7% of the Series F Stated Value then in effect (the “Series F Dividend Rate”). Such dividends shall be payable in cash or in kind; provided that the Company shall not pay Series F Dividends in kind through the issuance of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the extent that such issuance would require prior approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5636, and in lieu of such issuance shall make such dividend payment in cash. To the extent funds are legally available and the Company is not contractually prohibited from paying such Series F Dividend, the Series F Dividend must be declared and paid from and including the Original Issue Date on each six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date. At the holder’s option, such dividends are payable through the issuance of additional Series F Shares or in cash. To the extent the Company is unable to pay any Series F Dividend (i.e. in the event funds are not legally available or the Company is contractually prohibited from making payment), any such unpaid Series F Dividend shall be cumulative and shall accrue and compound on a quarterly basis at the then applicable Series F Dividend Rate. Such unpaid Series F Dividend shall be paid as soon as funds are legally available or as soon as the Company is no longer contractually prohibited from paying such Series F Dividend, as applicable. Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock shall share ratably on an as-converted basis with the common stock in the payment of all other dividends and distributions. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company accrued Series F Dividends of $129,000.

The Company has classified the Series F Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the financial statements as it is subject to mandatory redemption at the option of the holder. The Company has concluded that the Series F Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument than an equity-type instrument. The embedded conversion option in the Series F Preferred Stock is not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host. However it meets the criteria for classification as equity, and accordingly has not been separated from the host instrument. The redemption call by the issuer and the redemption put by the holder were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore were not separated from the host instrument. The call by the issuer was exercisable at the balance sheet date, but was not deemed to be under the control of the Company since the principal holder of the Series F Preferred Stock holds the majority of the Company’s voting rights; accordingly the preferred stock was accreted to the redemption amount in effect on the balance sheet date. As the Company’s common stock closing price immediately preceding the issuance date was less than the Series F Conversion Price, the Company has not recognized a BCF.
