NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 120,000,000 shares consisting of 79,999,997 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, two (2) shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (which have been redeemed in accordance with their terms and may not be reissued), one (1) share of special stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 40,000,000 shares of a new class of blank-check preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 37,612,465 shares and 37,161,068 shares of common stock issued, respectively, and 31,881,961 shares and 31,647,284 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, with the difference being held in treasury stock.

Warrants

In December 2019, we entered into a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with the lender under our corporate credit facility (see Note 10 – Loans Payable and Secured Line of Credit – Loans Payable – Corporate Loan) (the “Warrant Holder”) pursuant to which we issued ten-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to the Warrant Holder to purchase up to 7,179,000 shares of our common stock. The Warrants are exercisable immediately and have an exercise price of $6.50 per share (the “Exercise Price”), payable in cash or pursuant to a cashless exercise. The Warrant Agreement provides that we will not issue shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants if either (1) the Warrant Holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially hold 5% or more of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, or (2) such exercise would result in the issuance of more than 19.9% of the shares of issued and outstanding common stock as of the date of the Warrant Agreement, prior to giving effect to the issuance of the Warrants, and such issuance would require shareholder approval under the NYSE American LLC listing requirements.

The Warrant Agreement provides for certain adjustments to the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions. Upon a change of control of the Company, the Warrants will be automatically converted into the right to receive the difference between the consideration the Warrant Holder would have received if it exercised the Warrants immediately prior to the change of control and the aggregate Exercise Price, payable at the election of the Warrant Holder in the consideration payable in the change of control or, if such consideration is other than cash, in cash. The Warrant will be accounted for under the liability method. The change in fair value of the Warrants will be recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the statement of operations.

In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Warrant Holder, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and a letter agreement with the Warrant Holder (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to provide (i) certain information rights, (ii) the right to appoint one member of the board of directors of the Company, or in lieu thereof a board observer, and (iii) certain preemptive rights for a period of five years following the exercise of any of the Warrants so long as the Warrant Holder continues to hold shares of common stock. With respect to the board appointment right, the Letter Agreement includes a similar right as the Credit Agreement described above in Note 10, so long as the Warrant Holder together with its affiliates beneficially holds at least 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, assuming the exercise of all outstanding Warrants; provided that the Warrant Holder does not have such appointment right at any time a Designee or observer may be appointed pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

At-The-Market Equity Offering Program

In December 2016, we entered into an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), to sell up to an aggregate of $12.0 million of our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we sold 2,492 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $23,000 at a weighted average price of $9.32 per share. We did not sell any shares through this program in 2018 or 2019.  The sale agreement with our broker expired in accordance with its term on June 30, 2019 and was not extended.

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2019, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we can purchase up to $5.0 million of shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had purchased 49,394 shares of our common stock for approximately $149,000 at a weighted average price per share of $3.01 under the stock repurchase program, not including approximately $48,000 of professional fees incurred to establish the share repurchase program. Of the 49,394 shares that were purchased, there were 19,551 shares that did not settle until January 2020 and therefore those shares are still included in net shares outstanding at December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, we have approximately $4.8 million value of shares that may yet be purchased under the share repurchase program.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue two shares of preferred stock (one share each of Series A and Series B preferred stock, each of which was automatically redeemed in 2016 and may not be reissued), one share of special stock and 40,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock. The share of special stock was issued and sold to Third Avenue  Trust, on behalf of Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund ("Third Avenue"), and enables Third Avenue or its affiliated designee to elect one member of the Board of Directors.
