This Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) of PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and is being filed by Jeffrey S. Cobb. The principal office of the Issuer is located at 1690 S. Congress Avenue, Suite 201, Delray Beach, FL 33445.
Item 2. Identity and Background
The name of the reporting person is Jeffrey S. Cobb. His business address is 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite 201, Delray Beach, Florida 33445 and his present principal occupation is president of the Issuer. Mr. Cobb is a citizen of the United States of America. Mr. Cobb has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and was not, during the last five years, a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Issuer granted to Mr. Cobb as non-employee director compensation (i) between March 9, 2007 and December 22, 2015, 60,815 options to purchase shares at a weighted average price per share of $4.05; and (ii) between January 24, 2008 and December 13, 2013, 11,528 shares of restricted stock. On October 1, 2009, Mr. Cobb sold 40 Shares at an approximate price of $3,125 (reverse split-adjusted). On May 27, 2011, Mr. Cobb purchased 8 Shares on the open market at an approximate price of $450 (reverse-split adjusted).
On September 30, 2013, pursuant to a liability reduction plan, the Issuer issued Mr. Cobb 38 shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series I”). The Series I had a stated value of $1,000 per share, and a dividend rate of 6.0% per year. The Series I Preferred Stock had voting rights equivalent to twenty-five votes per common share equivalent. On December 31, 2013, the Issuer granted to Mr. Cobb 25 shares of Series I as Board of Directors compensation for 2014. On January 12, 2015, the Issuer granted to Mr. Cobb 50 shares of Series I as Board of Directors compensation for 2015. On December 22, 2015, as compensation for 2016 the Issuer granted to Mr. Cobb 25 shares of Series I, at which time he owned a total of 138 shares of Series I.
On August 11, 2016, Mr. Cobb entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which he exchanged 138 shares of Series I, with a liquidation value of $154,180, for 154 shares of Series II Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series II”), with an initial liquidation value of $154,000. The Series II has a stated value per share of $1,000, and a dividend rate of 6% per year. As with the Series I Preferred, the Series II Preferred has 25 votes per common share equivalent. Any shares of Series I previously issued to Mr. Cobb are null and void and any and all rights arising thereunder were extinguished.
From November 11, 2011 through August 18, 2016, the Issuer did not have a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Act. On August 19, 2016, the Issuer filed a registration statement on Form 8-A registering its class of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (this par value was reduced to $0.0001 per share on January 30, 2017), pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Act.
Mr. Cobb was eligible to file a Schedule 13G by August 29, 2016 because he did not acquire any securities following the registration.
Mr. Cobb is now filing a Schedule 13D because on March 29, 2017, as Board of Directors compensation for 2017 the Issuer granted to Mr. Cobb 50 shares of Series II, at which time he owned a total of 204 shares of Series II. This acquisition, in the aggregate with all other acquisitions following March 29, 2016 (the twelve months immediately preceding the date of the most recent acquisition), is more than 1.5% of the voting power of the Issuer.
The Series II granted to Mr. Cobb has a stated value of $1,000 per share and as of March 29, 2017, are convertible into 1,165,680,365 Shares, at a conversion price of $0.00018 per share. The conversion price of the Series II is calculated at 100% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the subsequent 12 months following the issuance date. As each share of Series II holds 25 votes per share, the voting rights of Mr. Cobb’s Series II total 29,142,009,132 shares. These shares constitute the majority of his beneficial ownership in the Company. The Series II shares will vest on January 1, 2019.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The information set forth in Item 3 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, Mr. Cobb does not have any present plans, arrangements or understandings that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) Mr. Cobb beneficially owns 29,142,020,628 shares of the voting power of the Issuer, representing 6.5% of the total voting power of the Issuer, which includes 29,142,009,132 votes through his ownership of the Series II, 11,496 Shares and 60,815 options that are currently exercisable for Shares. As of March 29, 2017, there were 6,653,301,983 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, and 3,247 shares of Series II Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 17,680,678,843 shares of Common Stock, issued and outstanding (the “Series II Conversion Shares”). As each Series II Conversion Share has the equivalent of 25 votes on each matter submitted to stockholders, the holders of the Series II Preferred Stock have control of 442,016,971,081 voting shares of the Company.
(b) Mr. Cobb has sole voting power over 29,142,020,628 shares. He has sole dispositive power over 1,165,752,676 shares, including 1,165,680,365 shares of Series II on an as-converted basis, 11,496 Shares and 60,815 options that are currently exercisable for Shares.
