Note 6. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On November 2, 2012, the Company closed a private placement sale of 1,380,362 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), (including 2,760,724 warrants to purchase MGT Common Stock) for an aggregate of $4.5 million. This transaction was approved by the Exchange on October 26, 2012. The Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's Common Stock at a fixed price of $3.26 per share and carries a 6% dividend. The warrants have a five–year life and are exercisable at $3.85 per share. Total issuance cost for this private placement for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $88.

Significant terms of the Preferred Stock, as specified in the Certificate of Designation are as follows:

Cash maintenance

The Company shall maintain a cash balance of at least $2,000 as long as at least 345,092 shares of Preferred Stock remains outstanding. In February and March 2013, 241,748 and 30,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 241,748 and 30,000 shares, of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively. In April 2013, 1,123,809 shares of the Preferred Stock were converted into 1,125,763 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which included 1,954 shares of accrued interest on the Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2014, 9,555 shares of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, which includes 142 Dividend Shares of Preferred Stock issued on March 31, 2014.

With fewer than 345,092 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, the Company is no longer subject to the Cash Maintenance provision of the Purchase Agreement under which the Preferred Stock was originally sold in October 2012.

Conversion option

At any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date, the Preferred Stock shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non–assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) the aggregate Stated Value of $3.26 per shares (“Stated Value”) of Preferred Stock that are being converted plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price ($3.26) then in effect on the date (the “Conversion Date”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 no shares of Preferred Stock were converted into shares of MGT Common Stock.

Dividends

The Preferred Stock shall pay a six percent (6%) annual dividend on the outstanding Preferred Stock, payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (the “Dividend Date”), with the first dividend payable for the period commencing on the Issuance Date. The Company has the option to pay each quarterly dividend in cash or additional shares of Preferred Stock (the "Dividend Shares").

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company issued 142 and 18,806 of Dividend Shares to the Preferred Stock holders.

Liquidation preference

Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value (the “Liquidation Amount”) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation and Warrant agreement (“Warrants”) each contain a fundamental transactions clause that provides for the conditional redemption of these instruments under certain circumstances that are not within the Company’s sole control. Management has therefore concluded that the Preferred Stock requires temporary equity classification in accordance with ASC 480–10–S99 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments” at its allocated value and the warrants require classification at fair value. When the Preferred Stock and Warrants were issued, the fair value of the Warrants exceeded the proceeds received from the sale and issuance of the Preferred Stock and Warrants. The Warrants were recorded at their fair value and the excess over the proceeds received was recorded as a deemed dividend. Changes in the fair value of the Warrants at each reporting date are included in the statement of operations. The carrying amount of the Preferred Shares requires no further adjustment unless and until the conditional redemption events are probable. The Company does not consider the conditional redemption events to be probable, as these events refer to fundamental change of control situations that do not currently exist, in the opinion of management. Accordingly, management concluded that the conversion option embedded in the preferred shares does not require bifurcation from the host contract, as the Preferred Stocks have the characteristics of a residual interest and therefore are clearly and closely related to the Common Stocks issuable upon the exercise of the conversion option. Further, since the issuance date fair value of the warrants exceeded the proceeds received from the sale and issuance of the Preferred Stock, accounting recognition of the beneficial conversion feature was not required.
