This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on October 5, 2012, as amended (the “Original Schedule”), by RVL 1 LLC, Aston Capital, LLC, Mr. Robert V. LaPenta, Mr. James A. DePalma, Mr. Robert V. LaPenta, Jr. and Mr. Robert A. Basil, Jr. (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) and is filed by and on behalf of the Reporting Persons with respect to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Original Schedule. 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

As described in Item 6 below, on June 30, 2014, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with RVL and Aston (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to Aston 10,955.61 shares of Series G Preferred Stock in exchange for $10,955,609.09 of the entire outstanding principal amount of, and the accrued and unpaid interest on, that certain promissory note, dated April 17, 2014, made by the Company in favor of Aston in the original principal amount of $10,759,288.91, the proceeds of which were used to fund the Company’s acquisition of Value Lighting, LLC. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to Aston 1,640.08 shares of Series G Preferred Stock in exchange for $1,640,085.35, which represents a portion of the outstanding principal amount of, and the accrued and unpaid interest on, that certain promissory note, dated February 25, 2014, made by the Company in favor of Aston in the original principal amount of $3,500,000. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in a reclassification exempt under Rule 16b-7, the Company issued to RVL 5,404.31 shares of Series G Preferred Stock in exchange for 5,000 shares (including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) of the Company’s Series F Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), held by RVL.

The Series G Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series G Stated Value then in effect divided by the Series G Conversion Price then in effect. As of June 30, 2014, the Series G Stated Value is $1,000.00 and the Series G Conversion Price is $2.30. Accordingly, the 12,595.69 total shares of Series G Preferred Stock held directly by Aston are convertible into 5,476,387 shares of Common Stock, and the 5,404.31 shares of Series G Preferred Stock held directly by RVL are convertible into 2,349,700 shares of Common Stock. 

None of the Reporting Persons has borrowed any funds in connection with the investment in Series G Preferred Stock described above. 

On May 15, 2013, Aston received a grant of 500,000 shares of restricted stock with equal vesting over three years and the first such vesting date being September 25, 2013, pursuant to a management services agreement with the Company, entered into on April 16, 2013 (the “Management Agreement”). Since the filing of Amendment No. 3 to the Original Schedule, on April 21, 2014, Aston received a further grant of 300,000 shares of restricted stock with equal vesting over three years and the first such vesting date being September 25, 2014. Aston may exercise full voting rights with respect to the restricted shares, and thus all 800,000 shares of restricted stock are reportable under the beneficial ownership definition of Rule 13d-3(a)(1) . 

Since the filing of Amendment No. 3 to the Original Schedule, Mr. James A DePalma has purchased an aggregate of 100,000 additional shares of Common Stock for his personal account. On September 11, 2013, Mr. DePalma purchased 75,000 shares of Common Stock, and May 16, 2014, Mr. DePalma purchased 25,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

On June 30, 2014, the Company, RVL and Aston entered into and consummated the Exchange Agreement (as described in Items 3 and 6). The transactions effected by the Exchange Agreement were undertaken to improve the Company’s liquidity position and to facilitate the Company’s ability to obtain third party financing.

 
 

Depending upon further evaluations of the business prospects of the Company and upon other developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and business conditions and stock market conditions, RVL and/or Aston may retain or from time to time increase their holdings or dispose of all or a portion of their holdings subject to any applicable legal and contractual restrictions on their ability to do so in privately negotiated transactions, open market purchases or otherwise.

RVL intends to continue to have active participation in the management of the Company through representation on the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Currently, four members of the eight-member Board are affiliated with RVL. 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.

Except as set forth in this Item 4 (including the matters described in Item 6 below which are incorporated in this Item 4 by reference), none of the Reporting Persons have any present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The Information contained in Item 3 and Item 4 and Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement on Schedule 13D for each of the Reporting Persons, including all footnotes thereto, are incorporated herein by reference.

Aston has the power to vote the 800,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to it pursuant to the Management Agreement and additional April 2014 grant (as described in Item 3), and may be deemed to beneficially own the 800,000 shares of restricted stock under Rule 13d-3(a)(1). Assuming conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series G Preferred Stock held by RVL, Aston, in its capacity as the managing member of RVL, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 73,894,486 shares of Common Stock, which total includes shares directly held by Aston or to be issued directly to Aston, constituting approximately 67.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On June 30, 2014, the Company, RVL and Aston entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (as discussed in Item 3) providing for the issuance to RVL of 5,404.31 shares of Series G Preferred Stock and the issuance to Aston of 12,595.65 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, each with a stated value of $1,000.00 per share. The Series G Preferred Stock is voting and convertible into Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder.

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement Acknowledgement and Joinder (the “Acknowledgement and Joinder”), dated as of June 30, 2014, pursuant to which the Company acknowledged that the Registration Rights Agreement, disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2012, which is applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock (and, by virtue of a Registration Rights Agreement Acknowledgement, dated as of December 20, 2012, is applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock, and, by virtue of a Registration Rights Agreement Acknowledgement, dated as of February 21, 2013, is applicable to the Series E Preferred Stock) is also applicable to the Series G Preferred Stock.

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement and/or the Acknowledgement and Joinder does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Exchange Agreement and the Acknowledgement and Joinder, which are incorporated herein by reference. 

On April 9, 2013, the Company entered into the Management Agreement with Aston Capital, LLC to memorialize certain management services that Aston has been providing to the Company since RVL 1 LLC acquired majority control of the Company’s voting stock on September 25, 2012.
