PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock Offerings

On October 28, 2013, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at $25 per share in a registered public offering. The Company received proceeds from the offering of $11.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering-related expenses of $1.2 million. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock is $25 per share. Cumulative dividends accrue and are paid in the amount of $2.72 per share each year, which is equivalent to 10.875% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. The dividend rate may increase under certain circumstances.

On November 7, 2012, the Company sold 450,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock offered at $23 per share in a registered public offering. The Company received proceeds from the offering of $9.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering-related expenses of $1.2 million. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock is $25 per share. Cumulative dividends accrue and are paid in the amount of $2.72 per share each year, which is equivalent to 10.875% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. The dividend rate may increase under certain circumstances.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights but have limited voting rights under certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock before December 1, 2017, except the Company is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock following a "Change of Control," as defined in the Company's Articles of Incorporation. On and after December 1, 2017, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. 

The change-in-control provision requires the Series A Preferred Stock to be classified as temporary equity because, although deemed a remote possibility, a purchaser could acquire a majority of the voting power of the outstanding common stock without company approval, thereby triggering redemption. FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, requires classification outside of permanent equity for redeemable instruments for which the redemption triggers are outside of the issuer’s control. The assessment of whether the redemption of an equity security could occur outside of the issuer’s control is required to be made without regard to the probability of the event or events that may result in the instrument becoming redeemable.
