NOTE 14 - PREFERRED STOCK

On October 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of approximately $25 million, pursuant to which on October 31, 2019, the Holding Company sold (i) 849,615 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $12.00 per share and (ii) 12,337 shares of a new series of the Company’s Non-Voting Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,200.00 per share.

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible either (i) automatically into 100 shares of the Company’s non-voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (which is also convertible into Common Stock) (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”), effective as of the close of business on the date that the Company obtained stockholder approval for, and filed, a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to authorize such class of Non-Voting Common Stock; or (ii) unless previously converted into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock upon transfer of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to a non-affiliate of the holder in specified permitted transactions.

On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement providing for the exchange of 27,000 of the shares of common stock purchased in the private placement for 270 additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock (at the Series C Preferred Stock’s current conversion ratio of 100 shares of common stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock).  The exchange of common stock for Series C Preferred Stock was effected in order to accommodate and facilitate the Company’s stock repurchase program announced on March 13, 2020.  The exchange resulted in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock from 12,337 to 12,607.

Conversion of Series C Preferred Stock to Non-Voting Common Stock:

On May 27, 2020, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to authorize a separate class of Non-Voting Common Stock was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.  On May 28, 2020, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 1,260,700 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock. Effective as of the close of business on May 28, 2020, all 1,260,700 authorized shares of Non-Voting Common Stock were issued upon conversion of the 12,607 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock converted automatically into 100 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at such time.
