Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company previously issued 400,000 shares of Class A preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) on July 20, 2016. Each share of Preferred Stock was convertible (at the holder’s election) into two shares of the Company’s common stock (as may be adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits or similar transactions), representing a conversion price of $12.50 per share; provided, that such conversion was in compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. The Preferred Stock ranked senior to all classes and series of outstanding capital stock. The Company agreed to not issue any other shares of capital stock that ranked senior or pari passu to the Preferred Stock while the Preferred Stock was outstanding, unless at least 30% of the proceeds from such issuance were used to redeem Preferred Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock were, in priority to any other class or series of capital stock, entitled to receive, as and when declared by the board of directors fixed, cumulative, preferential dividends at a rate of: (i) 8% per annum in years one through three from issuance; (ii) 10% per annum in years four through five from issuance; and (iii) 12% per annum thereafter, payable in equal quarterly installments. Dividends on outstanding Preferred Stock accrued day to day from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock. No dividends in excess of the accrued and unpaid preferred yield in respect of the Preferred Stock were permitted.
On July 14, 2017, the Company entered into the Preferred Stock Repurchase Agreement with 1347 Investors pursuant to which (a) the Company repurchased from 1347 Investors a total of 120,000 shares of the Preferred Stock for an aggregate sum of $4.1 million in cash, (b) for a period of six months after such repurchase, the Company had the right to repurchase from 1347 Investors, in one or more transactions, all or a portion of the remaining 280,000 shares of Preferred Stock owned by 1347 Investors for a purchase price equal to 130% of the liquidation value per share plus 130% of any and all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon as of the date of closing of the purchase of such shares and (c) 1347 Investors would not, with respect to the 509,500 shares of common stock held in escrow pursuant to its lock-up arrangement that expired on July 20, 2017, sell or otherwise transfer such shares of common stock during the period from such expiration through October 20, 2017. This repurchase was funded through permitted borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement revolving credit facility and closed on July 14, 2017. The Company retired the repurchased shares.
As discussed in Note 9 – Debt in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, on January 12, 2018, the Company exercised its repurchase right with respect to the remaining 280,000 shares of Preferred Stock using the proceeds from the Bridge Term Loan for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million, including a $2.2 million premium and accrued but unpaid dividends of $0.9 million, pursuant to the Preferred Stock Repurchase Agreement. The Company also retired these repurchased shares.
