Convertible Preferred Stock And Stock Warrants

Note 12 — Convertible Preferred Stock and Stock Warrants

On August 12, 2009, the Company sold 16,000 units (the "Units"), consisting of Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock and warrants, for $1,000 per Unit, yielding aggregate gross proceeds of $16.0 million. Net proceeds from issuance of the Units totaled $14.8 million. Each Unit consisted of one share of cumulative convertible preferred stock ("Convertible Preferred Stock"), detachable warrants to purchase up to 155 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.31 per share ("Exercisable Warrants") and detachable Contingent Warrants to purchase up to 500 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.45 per share ("Contingent Warrants").

The gross proceeds from the issuance of the Units were allocated, at the date of the transaction, based upon the preferred stock and applicable warrants relative fair values. The Company obtained third-party valuations to assist in quantifying the relative fair value of the Unit's debt and equity components. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming a five-year term, a volatility rate of 54%, a risk-free rate of return of 2.7%, and an assumed dividend rate of zero. The fair value of the preferred stock component was determined based upon a valuation of the beneficial conversion right and host contract. The fair value of the beneficial conversion right was estimated based upon a Monte Carlo simulation of the Company's possible future common stock price to assess the likelihood of conversion. Due to a lack of peers with comparable credit ratings, the value of the host contract was determined by applying a risk-adjusted rate of return to the annual dividend. At the date of the transaction, the Company recorded approximately 67.5% of the proceeds or $10.8 million (net of the discount recognized from the allocation of proceeds to the detachable warrants) as preferred stock in stockholders' equity. The fair value of the detachable warrants was assessed at $5.2 million and recorded as a warrant liability. The Company determined that the conversion option embedded within the preferred stock had intrinsic value and was beneficial to the holders of the preferred stock. Accordingly, $5.2 million was recorded as a beneficial conversion discount with an offset to additional paid-in capital at the date of the transaction. The preferred stock conversion period was estimated to be 36 months based on an evaluation of the conversion options.

Preferred Stock

Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible at any time, at the holder's option, into 434.782 shares of the Company's common stock. The conversion rate equivalent was approximately $2.30 per share of common stock.

Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $1,000. Dividends accrued at a rate of 15% of the liquidation preference per year and accumulated if not paid quarterly. Dividends declared at the Company's election were subject to applicable debt covenant restrictions and were required to be paid in cash, common stock or a combination thereof at the Company's election. Subsequent to February 11, 2010, the Company had the ability to automatically convert the preferred shares into common shares if the closing price of the common stock was equal to or greater than 150% of the then current conversion price for any 15 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period. In the event any Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically converted and the Company had not previously paid holders an amount equal to at least eight quarterly dividends, the Company was also obligated to pay an amount, in cash or common stock, equal to eight quarterly dividend payments less any dividends previously paid. No dividends were declared or paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock through December 31, 2010.

On January 6, 2011, the Company paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of the Company's common stock. The payment, at an annual rate of 15% of the liquidation preference, covered the period from issuance, August 12, 2009, through December 31, 2010. Dividends per share of $208.33 were paid in shares of common stock valued at $4.81, based upon the prior ten business day volume-weighted average price per share with fractional shares paid in cash.

On February 4, 2011, the Company exercised its contractual right to mandatorily convert all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at the prevailing conversion rate of 434.782 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock. The Company issued 4,871,719 shares of common stock for preferred share conversations during 2011, including those mandatorily converted. Holders of preferred shares subject to mandatory conversion were entitled to eight quarterly dividend payments. On February 4, 2011, dividends per share of $91.67 were paid in shares of common stock valued at $6.63, based upon the prior ten business day volume-weighted average price per share with fractional shares paid in cash.

Stock Warrants

Exercisable Warrants were exercisable upon issuance and expire August 12, 2014, if not exercised. Contingent Warrants became exercisable on November 9, 2009, and expire November 9, 2014, if not exercised. The Exercisable and Contingent Warrants contain anti-dilution price protection in the event the Company issues shares of common stock or securities exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock at a price per share less than the warrants' exercise price. Due to the anti-dilution price adjustment provision in the warrant agreements, the warrants were considered a liability and were recorded at fair value upon issuance. The warrant liability is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period through the statement of operations over the remaining life of the warrants.

 

In accordance with contractual anti-dilution price adjustment provisions, the Exercisable and Contingent Warrants were re-priced as a result of the payment of a portion of the initial and deferred commitment fees related to the Company's Term Loan with common stock on March 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2011, all outstanding warrants have an exercise price of $1.21 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, no Exercisable or Contingent Warrants were exercised to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Exercisable and Contingent Warrants were exercised to purchase 3,785,750 shares of the Company's common stock for which the Company received cash proceeds of $4.6 million. At September 30, 2011, Exercisable and Contingent Warrants to purchase up to 2,067,600 shares of common stock remain outstanding.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability at the end of each reporting period. At September 30, 2011, inputs into the fair value calculation included the remaining term of the Exercisable and Contingent Warrants, a volatility rate of 73.0%, a risk-free rate of return of 0.4% and an assumed dividend rate of zero.
