Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Overview

     Toucan Capital acquired beneficial ownership of the securities in connection with a recapitalization of the Company. On April 26, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Recapitalization Agreement (the “Initial Recapitalization Agreement”) and a Binding Convertible Preferred Stock Term Sheet (the “Initial Term Sheet”) with Toucan Capital. Concurrently therewith, Toucan Capital and the Company entered into three convertible secured promissory notes in aggregate principal amount of $600,000 (including the reissuance of two prior notes of $50,000 principal amount each), as more fully described below. On June 11, 2004, Toucan Capital and the Company entered into an additional convertible secured promissory note in principal amount of $500,000. On July 30, 2004, Toucan Capital and the Company entered into an additional convertible secured promissory note in principal amount of $2,000,000, and in connection with the $2,000,000 note, Toucan Capital and the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Recapitalization Amendment (the “Restated Recapitalization Agreement”), which amended and restated the Initial Recapitalization Agreement in its entirety.

     On October 22, 2004, Toucan Capital and the Company entered into an additional convertible secured promissory note in principal amount of $500,000, and in connection with the $500,000 note, Toucan Capital and the Company amended the Restated Recapitalization Agreement and amended and restated the Initial Term Sheet (the “Restated Term Sheet”). On November 10, 2004, Toucan Capital and the Company entered into an additional convertible secured promissory note in principal amount of $500,000, and in connection with the $500,000 note, Toucan Capital and the Company further amended the Restated Recapitalization Agreement. On December 27, 2004, Toucan Capital and the Company entered into an additional convertible secured promissory note in principal amount of $250,000, and in connection with the $250,000 note, Toucan Capital and the Company further amended the Restated Recapitalization Agreement and amended the Restated Term Sheet. On January 26, 2005, Toucan Capital purchased 32,500,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”) from the Company at a purchase price of $0.04 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,300,000. In connection with the purchase of Series A Stock, Toucan Capital and the Company further amended the Restated Recapitalization Agreement and the Restated Term Sheet.

     The Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, and the Restated Term Sheet, as amended, contemplate a recapitalization to occur in two stages, a bridge funding period which began on February 1, 2004 (the “Bridge Funding Period”) and an equity financing period, which began on January 26, 2005 and will last up to 12 months (the “Equity Financing Period”). The Restated Term Sheet, as amended, contemplates the issuance, during the Equity Financing Period, of up to $40 million of convertible preferred stock (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), including the $1.3 million of Series A Stock acquired by Toucan, in multiple tranches (the “Equity Financing”). Future closings, if any, of the Equity Financing may be made at varying prices (which may be higher, lower or the same as the purchase price of the Series A Stock sold in the first closing on January 26, 2005), based on prevailing market conditions at the time of the closing as well as the status of the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. It is possible that the financing may be structured either as a single series of preferred stock or in multiple series of preferred stock issued in separate tranches, with each having differing rights, preferences and privileges, including but not limited to different purchase prices. Any additional financing is contingent upon the Company complying with covenants in the Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, and locating additional investors who are willing to invest in the Company on the terms proposed. Toucan Capital has provided all amounts funded thus far pursuant to the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, and may provide additional funding, which may be in the form of debt or equity.

     From time to time, the Filing Persons hold discussions with management and third parties with respect to potential changes in the Company’s operational strategies and capital structure, including but not limited to the recapitalization described herein. The Filing Persons intend to review on a regular basis their investment in the Company and, to the extent permitted by applicable regulatory requirements, reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, acquisitions resulting from conversion of some or all of the Bridge Notes and/or exercise of some or all of the Bridge Warrants) and to sell securities of the Company in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Company has granted Toucan Capital a right of first refusal to participate in future financings as described in greater detail in the “Right of First Refusal” section of this Item 4.

Bridge Notes

     In connection with the Initial Recapitalization Agreement, the first $1,100,000 of bridge funding (the “Initial Bridge Funding”) provided by Toucan Capital was provided through a series of Loan Agreement, Security Agreement and 10% Convertible, Secured Promissory Notes in the forms provided in the Initial Recapitalization Agreement (collectively, the “Initial Bridge Notes”). The Initial Bridge Notes accrued interest at 10% per year, were secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, matured one year after their respective issuance dates and were convertible into any debt or equity security authorized for issuance by the Company. Prior to the date of the Initial Recapitalization Agreement, bridge funding in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 had been provided to the Company by Toucan Capital. On February 2, 2004 and on March 1, 2004, Toucan Capital provided two loans to the Company in the principal amounts of $50,000 each. Pursuant to the Initial Recapitalization Agreement, these notes were cancelled and reissued as two new Initial Bridge Notes, with interest accruing from their respective original issuance dates. Also on the Effective Date, Toucan Capital provided an additional $500,000 in Initial Bridge Funding evidenced by a third Initial Bridge Note. Additionally, on June 11, 2004, Toucan Capital provided further Initial Bridge Funding of $500,000 on substantially the same terms and evidenced by an additional Initial Bridge Note.

 


 

     On July 30, 2004, in connection with the execution of the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, Toucan Capital provided further bridge funding of $2,000,000 (the “Subsequent Bridge Funding”) evidenced by a 10% Convertible, Secured Promissory Note (the “Subsequent Bridge Note”) in the form provided in the Restated Recapitalization Agreement. Simultaneously, as a condition to the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, Toucan Capital and the Company agreed to amend and restate the four Initial Bridge Notes (the “Amended and Restated Initial Bridge Notes”) that were issued in connection with the Initial Bridge Funding, each in substantially identical form as the Subsequent Bridge Note. On October 22, 2004, in connection with the first amendment of the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, Toucan Capital provided further bridge funding of $500,000 (the “October 22 Bridge Funding”) evidenced by a note in substantially identical form as the Subsequent Bridge Note (the “October 22 Bridge Note”). On November 10, 2004, in connection with the second amendment of the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, Toucan Capital provided an additional $500,000 of bridge funding (the “ November Bridge Funding”) evidenced by a note in substantially identical form as the Subsequent Bridge Note (the “November Bridge Note”). On December 27, 2004, in connection with the third amendment of the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, Toucan Capital provided an additional $250,000 of bridge funding (the “December Bridge Funding” and, collectively with the Initial Bridge Funding, the Subsequent Bridge Funding, the October 22 Bridge Funding and the November Bridge Funding, the “Bridge Funding”) evidenced by a note in substantially identical form as the Subsequent Bridge Note (the “December Bridge Note”). All references to “Bridge Notes” herein include the Subsequent Bridge Notes, the Amended and Restated Initial Bridge Notes, the October 22 Bridge Note, the November Bridge Note and the December Bridge Note.

     Pursuant to the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, Toucan Capital may, at any time and in its sole discretion, convert any or all of the principal and/or interest due on any or all of the Bridge Notes into any equity or debt security authorized for issuance by the Company (currently Common Stock and Series A Stock). Under the Bridge Notes, the conversion price for a discretionary conversion is the lowest of: (i) the lowest nominal or effective price per share paid by any investor at any time on or after April 26, 2003 (with the exception of certain options held by members of the board of directors outstanding as of the Effective Date, and shares issuable upon the exercise of the Initial Bridge Warrants (as defined herein)); (ii) the lowest nominal or effective price at which any investor is entitled to acquire shares pursuant to any other security, instrument, or promise, undertaking, commitment, agreement or letter of intent of the Company outstanding on or after the Effective Date or granted, issued, extended or otherwise made available by the Company at any time on or after April 26, 2003 (with the exception of certain options held by members of the board of directors outstanding as of the Effective Date and the Initial Bridge Warrants); and (iii) the lesser of $0.10 per share or a 35% discount to the average closing price per share of the Common Stock during any twenty consecutive trading days beginning with the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date (with the limitation that the conversion price under this clause (iii) will be no less than $0.04 per share). If the currently outstanding Bridge Notes had been converted into Common Stock on the date of filing this Schedule, the conversion price would have been $0.04 per share pursuant to the above calculation.

     In addition to the optional conversion described above, the Bridge Notes are automatically convertible into Convertible Preferred Stock upon the closing of a Qualified Preferred Stock Financing (as defined below). The conversion price for such an automatic conversion is the lowest nominal or effective price per share paid by any investor other than Toucan Capital who purchases Convertible Preferred Stock.

Bridge Warrants

     In connection with the Initial Recapitalization Agreement, the Company issued a warrant (the “Prior Warrant”) to purchase any authorized class of securities of the Company (“Warrant Exercise Securities”) (which, at the time of issuance consisted solely of Common Stock, but now consists of Common Stock and Series A Stock). On the Effective Date, the Prior Warrant was exercisable for 36,000,000 Warrant Exercise Securities at a purchase price of $0.01 per share (subject to adjustment as described below). On June 11, 2004, in connection with the $500,000 in Bridge Funding provided, the Prior Warrant became exercisable for an additional 30,000,000 Warrant Exercise Securities. The Prior Warrant was originally not exercisable until the occurrence of one of the vesting criteria thereof, which included the Company’s raising of $2,000,000 of funding on or after the Effective Date. The Subsequent Bridge Funding, therefore, triggered the

 


 

exercisability of the Prior Warrant. For clarity, in connection with the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, the Prior Warrant was cancelled and replaced by two separate warrants, one dated April 26, 2004 and exercisable for 36,000,000 Warrant Exercise Securities, which corresponds to the portion of the Prior Warrant attributable to the April 26, 2004 closing, and the other dated June 11, 2004 and exercisable for 30,000,000 Warrant Exercise Securities, which corresponds to the portion of the Prior Warrant attributable to the June 11, 2004 closing (each, an “Initial Bridge Warrant” and collectively, the “Initial Bridge Warrants”). The Initial Bridge Warrants clarified that they became immediately exercisable upon the closing of the Subsequent Bridge Funding. The Initial Bridge Warrants are exercisable until the date that is seven (7) years after the respective dates thereof (April 26, 2011 and June 11, 2011, respectively). The Initial Bridge Warrants are exercisable for Warrant Exercise Securities, at a purchase price of $0.01 per share.

     In connection with the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, the Company issued a third warrant (the “Subsequent Bridge Warrant”) to Toucan Capital to purchase 20,000,000 Warrant Exercise Securities. The Subsequent Bridge Warrant was initially exercisable at a purchase price per share of the lesser of: (i) $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment as described below) or (ii) a 35% discount to the average closing price per share of the Common Stock during the twenty trading day period prior to the first sale of Convertible Preferred Stock in the Equity Financing (subject to adjustment as described below, and with the limitation that the exercise price of the Subsequent Bridge Warrant will be no less than $0.04 per share pursuant to this clause). As described in greater detail below, on January 26, 2005, in connection with the first closing of Equity Financing, the exercise price of the Subsequent Bridge Warrant (and the October 22 Bridge Warrant, the November Bridge Warrant and the December Bridge Warrant (each, as defined below)) was fixed pursuant to the foregoing formula at $0.04 per share (subject to adjustment). The Company and Toucan Capital amended each of these warrants on January 26, 2005 to clarify that the exercise price was $0.04 per share (subject to adjustment).

     In connection with the first amendment of the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, the Company issued a fourth warrant (the “October 22 Bridge Warrant”) to Toucan Capital to purchase 5,000,000 Warrant Exercise Securities. The remaining terms of the October 22 Bridge Warrant are substantially identical to the terms of the Subsequent Bridge Warrant. In connection with the second amendment of the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, the Company issued a fifth warrant (the “November Bridge Warrant”) to Toucan Capital to purchase 5,000,000 Warrant Exercise Securities. The remaining terms of the November Bridge Warrant are substantially identical to the terms of the Subsequent Bridge Warrant. In connection with the third amendment of the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, the Company issued a sixth warrant (the “December Bridge Warrant” and collectively, with the Initial Bridge Warrants, the Subsequent Bridge Warrant, the October 22 Bridge Warrant and the November Bridge Warrant, the “Bridge Warrants”) to Toucan Capital to purchase 2,500,000 Warrant Exercise Securities. The remaining terms of the December Bridge Warrant are substantially identical to the terms of the Subsequent Bridge Warrant. Except as described herein, all other terms of the Initial Bridge Warrants, the Subsequent Bridge Warrant, the October 22 Bridge Warrant, the November Bridge Warrant and the December Bridge Warrant are substantially identical.

     Based on the average closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock for the twenty trading days prior to the sale of the Series A Stock, the exercise price of each of the Subsequent Bridge Warrant, the October 22 Bridge Warrant, the November Bridge Warrant and the December Bridge Warrant was fixed, pursuant to the terms thereof, at $0.04 per share on January 26, 2005. In connection with the first closing of the Equity Financing on January 26, 2005, the Company and Toucan Capital amended the Subsequent Bridge Warrant, the October 22 Bridge Warrant, the November Bridge Warrant and the December Bridge Warrant to clarify that the exercise price of each of these warrants is $0.04 per share (subject to adjustment as described in the following paragraph).

     In the event that the Company sells at least $15 million of Convertible Preferred Stock for cash to investors other than Toucan Capital on the terms and conditions set forth in the Restated Recapitalization Agreement and the Term Sheet (a “Qualified Preferred Stock Financing”), the Bridge Warrants will be exercisable only for shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Unless and until the Company completes a Qualified Preferred Stock Financing, the Bridge Warrants will be exercisable for any debt or equity security authorized for issuance by the Company (which currently consists of Common Stock and Series A Stock). The number of shares issuable pursuant to the Bridge Warrants and the exercise prices thereof are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and the like. The exercise price is also subject to downward adjustment in the event of certain dilutive issuances in which the Company sells or is deemed to have sold shares below the then applicable exercise price.

 


 

Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

     On January 26, 2005, the Company and Toucan Capital entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Toucan Capital purchased 32,500,000 shares of newly designated Series A Stock of the Company at a purchase price of $0.04 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,300,000. This closing of Equity Financing was entered into on substantially the same terms as the potential equity financing that was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on December 17, 2004 and constituted the first equity closing of the Equity Financing Period.

     The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Stock are contained in a Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate”) of the Series A Stock filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 26, 2005. Pursuant to the Certificate, the Series A Stock (i) is entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% per year; (ii) is entitled to a liquidation preference in the amount of its initial purchase price plus all accrued and unpaid dividend; (iii) has a preference over the Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions; (iv) is entitled to participate on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock on any distributions after the payment of any preferential amounts to the Series A Stock; (v) votes on an as converted basis with the Common Stock on matters submitted to the Common Stockholders for approval and as a separate class on certain other material matters; and (vi) is convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, etc.) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series A Stock is also subject to increase in the event of certain dilutive issuances in which the Company sells or is deemed to have sold shares below the then applicable conversion price (currently $0.04 per share). The Certificate also provides that the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Stock is required in the event that the Company elects to undertake certain significant business actions. The foregoing description of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate, which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule and incorporated by reference herein.

Series A Warrant

     In accordance with the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, and the Restated Term Sheet, as amended, the Company issued to Toucan Capital a warrant to purchase 10 shares of Series A Stock for each dollar of equity funding provided, with an exercise price of $0.04 per share (the “Series A Warrant”) in connection with Toucan Capital’s purchase of Series A Stock on January 26, 2005. Accordingly, the Series A Warrant is exercisable for 13,000,000 shares of Series A Stock at an exercise price per share of $0.04 per share. The number of shares issuable pursuant to the Series A Warrant and the exercise price thereof is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and the like.

Registration Rights

     Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Toucan Capital agreed to use their respective best efforts to promptly enter into a registration rights agreement at a mutually agreed upon time in the future, which in any event shall be no later than ten business days following Toucan Capital’s request. Such agreement would provide Toucan Capital (and other investors in the Company pursuant to the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended (the “Other Investors”), if any) with the registration rights set forth in the Restated Term Sheet, as amended. Pursuant to the provisions of the Restated Term Sheet, as amended, these registration rights would provide for the registration for resale of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Bridge Notes and Series A Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all Bridge Warrants and the Series A Warrant held by Toucan Capital, as well as the Common Stock issuable upon conversion and/or exercise of any securities acquired by Toucan Capital or Other Investors, if any, in the future pursuant to the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended.

Equity Financing

      The Company plans to raise the Equity Financing in the form of a private investment in public entity (“PIPE”) transaction. The Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, and the Restated Term Sheet, as amended, contemplate an overall issuance of up to $40 million in Convertible Preferred Stock, including the $1.3 million of Series A Stock purchased on January 26, 2005 by Toucan Capital (not including shares issuable upon exercise of warrants), in multiple tranches, over a one year period which began on January 26, 2005. The Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, and the Restated Term Sheet, as amended, also contemplate that warrants (the “Preferred Stock Warrants”) to purchase additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock may be issued by the Company on a portion of the Convertible Preferred Stock purchased for cash with an exercise price equal to the issuance price of the Convertible Preferred Stock. However, the actual amount of warrant coverage in future closings, if any, will be based on market conditions and the status of the Company’s business, operations and prospects prevailing at the time of the closings. Moreover, some or all of the Preferred Stock Warrants contemplated to be issued in connection with the PIPE transaction may instead be issued to third parties for other purposes. If additional closings of the Equity Financing cannot be achieved through a PIPE transaction, the Company may effect future closings of the Equity Financing in connection with or following deregistration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Board Composition

     In connection with the first closing of the Equity Financing on January 26, 2005, the Company and Toucan Capital amended the Restated Recapitalization Agreement and the Restated Term Sheet to provide that:

•   as of January 26, 2005, the authorized number of the Company’s directors shall be one (currently Alton L. Boynton, the Company’s president and chief executive officer);

•   the authorized number of directors may not be increased or decreased without the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock;

•   the holders of a majority of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, acting in their sole discretion, may require the Company to increase the total number of authorized directors at any time following January 26, 2005, up to a maximum of seven directors; and

•   any newly created directorships shall be designated by the holders of a majority of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, acting in their sole discretion, to be filled by either: (i) an outside director with significant industry experience, who is reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock, to be elected by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock (which may, subject to applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s Bylaws, be filled initially by vote of the remaining director(s)) (an “Independent Industry Expert Directorship”); or (ii) a director to be designated by the holders of a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock (a “Preferred Directorship”). Up to four (4) directorships shall be designated as Preferred Directorships, up to two (2) directorships shall be designated as Independent Industry Expert Directorships, and one (1) director shall be the chief executive officer of the Company.

     Toucan Capital currently holds all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and, accordingly, Toucan Capital may, at its sole discretion, take any or all of the actions described above to effect changes to the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company.

     In connection with future closings, if any, of the Equity Financing, it is possible that the Company, Toucan Capital and any Other Investors may agree to revise the foregoing board composition requirements.

Right of First Refusal

     The Company has also granted Toucan Capital a right of first refusal to participate in future issuances of equity securities or debt securities by the Company so long as Toucan Capital holds any Bridge Notes or Bridge Warrants. In the event that the Company proposes to authorize or issue any equity security or debt security, Toucan Capital has the right to convert any or all of its Bridge Notes and/or exercise any or all of its Bridge Warrants for such equity securities or debt securities. This right of first refusal shall be limited to the right to solely purchase Convertible Preferred Stock in the event that the Bridge Notes automatically convert into Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the automatic conversion provisions described above. Any such conversion of Bridge Notes would be at the conversion price described above, and any such exercise of the Bridge Warrants would be at the exercise price provided in the applicable Bridge Warrant. This right of first refusal applies regardless of whether or not Toucan Capital leads or otherwise participates in any such financing.

Future Funding

     Future funding under the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, and any additional Bridge Funding or Equity Financing, is subject to a number of conditions, which may be waived at the sole discretion of Toucan Capital and the other investors, if applicable.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     As of January 26, 2005, the aggregate principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Bridge Notes held by Toucan Capital is $4,552,877 and the conversion price of the Bridge Notes is $0.04 per share. Accordingly, each of the Filing Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 113,821,918 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes.

     As of January 26, 2005, the Bridge Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of 98,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which each of the Filing Persons may be deemed to beneficially own.

     As of January 26, 2005, the Series A Stock held by Toucan Capital was convertible into 32,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which each of the Filing Persons may be deemed to beneficially own.

     As of January 26, 2005, the Series A Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrant held by Toucan Capital was convertible into 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which each of the Filing Persons may be deemed to beneficially own.

     Based on the above holdings, as of January 26, 2005, each of the Filing Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 257,821,918 shares of Common Stock. Such shares, based on the capitalization of the Company as of January 26, 2005, based on representations made by the Company to Toucan Capital, constitute 93.1% of the Common Stock (calculated in accordance with SEC regulations).

     Other than the transactions described above, no transactions in the Common Stock of the Company have been effected by the Filing Persons during the past 60 days.

     To the knowledge of the Filing Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this Schedule.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Other than the Restated Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, the Restated Term Sheet, as amended, the Purchase Agreement, the Bridge Notes, the Bridge Warrants, as amended, the Series A Stock, the Certificate, the Series A Warrant and the Preferred Stock Warrants described in Item 4 above, to the knowledge of the Filing Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
