Contracts,
Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities
of the Issuer
|
On February 19, 2004, SJSI acquired 4,088,794 shares of Common Shares from the Issuer at an aggregate purchase price of U.S. $3,025,708 pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
In addition to the Subscription Agreement, SJSI has entered into a Securities Purchase and Piggy-Back Rights Agreement with the Issuer (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, SJSI obtained a right to subscribe for additional Common Shares of the Issuer in the future from time to time in order to maintain its percentage equity ownership interest in the Issuer, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has also granted SJSI the right to participate as a selling shareholder in the future offerings of the Issuer's Common Shares. SJSI has also entered into Right of First Refusal Agreements with each of Peter Riehl, Patricia Riehl, Samuel Hahn and Kay Hahn, pursuant to which they have granted right of first refusal to SJSI in respect of the sale of securities in the Issuer owned by them. The Subscription Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement and each of the Right of First Refusal Agreements are filed in their entirety as exhibits to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on March 1, 2004 and are hereby incorporated into this Item 6 by reference. On June 4, 2004, the Issuer granted SJSI the right to have a representative of SJSI observe the Issuer's board and committee meetings as long as SJSI continues to hold at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. This right does not confer directorship status on, nor create directorship or any other fiduciary duties for SJSI and is not intended to give rise to any obligations (fiduciary or otherwise), or liabilities for SJSI to the Issuer, its officers, directors, shareholders or employees. On February 26, 2007, John M. Gregory was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Issuer. On March 4, 2013, the Reporting Persons purchased units consisting of an aggregate of 2,500,000 Common Shares, Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 Common Shares and Series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 Common Shares at a purchase price of $0.40 per unit pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Issuer in a private placement transaction (the "2013 Private Placement"). In connection with the 2013 Private Placement, the Reporting Persons also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Issuer. The Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Form of Series A/Series B warrant are filed as exhibits to this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D and are hereby incorporated into this Item 6 by reference. On February 20, 2015, SJSI exercised 625,000 Series A warrants at $0.50 per share; John M. Gregory exercised 312,500 Series A warrants at $0.50 per share; and Kingsway Charities exercised 312,500 Series A warrants at $0.50 per share. |
