Item 8.01  Other Events

 

On October 2, 2008, Kings Road Investments Ltd. (the “Shareholder”), the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) of Depomed, Inc. (the “Company”), exercised its warrant to purchase the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant”) by surrendering its 18,158 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Company in exchange for 2,914,526 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.   The Warrant was exercised in accordance with its terms and without any cash payment to the Company.  The Series A Preferred Stock held a liquidation preference of approximately $18.2 million and together with the Warrant, was convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $6.23 per share on the date of conversion.

 

As a result of the exercise of the exercise of the Warrant, there are no shares of the Series A Preferred of the Company outstanding.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock was originally issued in January 2000 at a price of $1,000 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock accrued a dividend of 7% per annum, compounded semi-annually and payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock was convertible at anytime between January 2002 and January 2006 into the Company’s common stock. The original conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock was $12.00; however, as a result of the Company’s March 2002 and October 2003 financings, the conversion price had been adjusted to $9.51 per share. In December 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with the Shareholder to resolve a misunderstanding between the Company and the Shareholder relating primarily to prior adjustments to the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the agreement, among other matters, the Company agreed to adjust the conversion price to $7.50 per share, issued the Warrant to the Shareholder, and agreed to binding interpretations of certain other terms related to the Series A Preferred Stock conversion price.

 

The Warrant was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock during the period between January 2006 and January 2009. The conversion price of the Warrant initially was $7.12, which was equal to the Series A Preferred Stock conversion price in effect as of January 20, 2006. The conversion price of the warrant decreased by approximately 4.8% per year during the conversion period, such that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the warrant increased by approximately 5.1% per year.
