Item 3.02               Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

 

On January 31, 2008, the Company issued 1,579,348 shares of its common stock to certain European investors in exchange for $5,812,000 in cash, and on February 1, 2008, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to a certain European investor in exchange for $11,040,000 in cash.  The shares sold to the European investors were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act’), in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  Each of the European investors is reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” as defined by Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

 

On February 4, 2008, the Company issued an additional 2,689,464 shares of its common stock to certain American investors as a result of an adjustment provision in the stock purchase agreements with the American investors.  The American investors were originally issued 3,424,653 shares of the Company’s common stock on October 2, 2007 in exchange for $22,499,970.21 in cash pursuant to the stock purchase agreements.  The shares sold to the American investors were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act’), in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.  Each of the American investors is reasonably believed to be “accredited investors” as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D.

 

Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

European investors

 

On January 31, 2008, the Company closed its stock purchase agreements with two of the European investors (Nordinvest and Deka Investment GmbH) and issued 1,579,348 shares of its common stock to the two European investors in exchange for $5,812,000 in cash.

 

On February 1, 2008, the Company closed the stock purchase agreement with DWS Finanz-Service GmbH and issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to DWS Finanz-Service GmbH  in exchange for $11,040,00 in cash.

 

The Company previously disclosed that it anticipated raising approximately $27.0 million from the European investors.  In evaluating the costs and benefits of raising institutional equity and setting the final value of this transaction, the Company took the following factors into account:

 

·                  An objective of limiting dilution in current market conditions;

 

·                  A need to release investor, Brompton Cross (first disclosed in the Company’s Form S-1 filed on January 14, 2008) from its obligations to the Company, because this investor has ceased (for reasons unrelated to the Company) its capital deployment operation; and

 

·                  Allowing DWS Finanz-Service GmbH to reduce the number of shares it purchased to comply with internal fund regulations.
