6. Common Stock Transactions:

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 135 million shares of its common stock outstanding, of which approximately 83 million shares, or 61%, were constructively owned by RVL and its affiliates.

On December 1, 2014, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 8 million shares of its common stock, at an offering price of $1.25. Net proceeds of the offering approximated $8.6 million, which was used for general corporate purposes.

Also on December 1, 2014, the Company issued 36,300,171 shares of unregistered common stock in connection with the Preferred Stock Exchange. All rights relating to the preferred stock were extinguished as a result of this transaction, and at December 31, 2014, the Company has no outstanding preferred stock. See Note 7 for additional information.

The Company has a Management Services Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Aston, an affiliate of RVL, under which Aston provides consulting services in connection with financing matters, budgeting, strategic planning and business development. On April 21, 2014, as compensation for management services provided, the Company granted 300,000 shares of restricted stock to Aston under its 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, which vest in three annual installments with the first such vesting date of September 25, 2014. The Audit Committee of the Board will consider from time to time (at a minimum at such times when the Compensation Committee of the Board evaluates director compensation) whether additional compensation to Aston is appropriate given the nature of the services provided.

On May 11, 2015, the shareholders will vote on an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000. Our majority shareholder has advised us that it will vote in favor of the amendment; accordingly, we expect it to pass.

Also on May 11, 2015, the shareholders will vote on a proposal to grant authority to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to potentially conduct a reverse stock split (the “Split”), if and when the Board determines it’s in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to do so. Additionally, it is proposed to grant authority to the Board to determine the specific ratio at which to conduct the Split, within the range of 1-for-4 to 1-for-7 based upon then-current market conditions, or to abandon the Split if the Board determines that it is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. This action will expedite the process and time frame for effecting the Split at some point in the future should the Board determine, at an appropriate time, to declare it. Our majority shareholder has advised us that it will vote in favor of the proposal; accordingly, we expect it to pass.

Stock warrants – The Company has granted a 10-year warrant (“Kingstone Warrants”) for 289,187 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.30 per share to Brett Kingstone.
