The business address of each of the Insiders is 445 Park Avenue, Suite 1043, New York, NY 10022. To Vicis’s and SLS I’s knowledge, respectively, each of the Insiders is a United States citizen, and none of the Insiders has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor has any Insider been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

 
 

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The Fund holds: (i) 896,340 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 35 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”); (iii) a warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant”); (iv) 30 shares of the Issuer’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”); and (v) warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (each a “Series B Warrant” and each Series B Warrant together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”).

 

The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock Certificates of Designations and of each of the Warrants contain conversion caps that prevent the Fund from exercising or converting, as the case may be, an amount of such Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Warrant to the extent that the Fund would beneficially own greater than 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. As a result of such conversion caps, no shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, or any of the Warrants is included in the shares reported by Vicis on this Schedule. As a result, Vicis may be deemed to beneficially own 896,340 shares of Common Stock.

 

Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock and of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, subject to adjustment, into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the stated value of such share divided by the conversion price of such share, such that 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series A Preferred Stock owned by Vicis (subject to the limitations imposed by the applicable conversion cap) and 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series B Preferred Stock owned by Vicis (subject to the limitations imposed by the applicable conversion cap).

 

On January 10, 2013, the Fund granted to the Issuer an option (the “Option”) to redeem all of the Issuer’s securities currently owned by the Fund at any time on or prior to December 31, 2013, for an exercise price of $9,000,000. The Option also provides the Issuer certain rights of first refusal to purchase such securities of the Fund in the event that the Fund has received an offer for and intends to sell all or a portion of such securities to a third party.

 

On September 21, 2010, SLS I acquired from a private party: (i) 400,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) a purchase right option to acquire up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock from such party at any time on or before September 21, 2013, for aggregate consideration of $500,000. As a result, SLS I may be deemed to beneficially own 650,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Vicis, on behalf of the Fund, acquired the securities of the Issuer described in this Schedule as held by the Fund and granted the Option for investment purposes in the ordinary course of its business pursuant to specified investment objectives of the Fund. SLS I acquired the securities of the Issuer described in this Schedule as held by SLS I for investment purposes.

 

 
 

 

On July 28, 2010, Mr. Shad Stastney was appointed to the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to the board election rights granted to the holders of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock (which right provides that so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall, voting together as a separate class, be entitled to elect the number of directors on the Issuer’s board of directors that is determined using the following formula, rounded up: X = D x ((B + C) / O), where X equals the number of Series B Preferred Stock directors, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number; D equals the then-current total number of directors of the Issuer; B equals the then-current total number of shares of Common Stock underlying all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, C equals the then-current total number of shares of Common Stock held by all holders of Series B Preferred Stock, and O equals the then-current total number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock issued and outstanding). Mr. Stastney is the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Research for Vicis Capital, LLC, a company he jointly founded in 2004, and a member of SLS I. Mr. Stastney also jointly founded Victus Capital Management LLC in 2001. From 1998 through 2001, Mr. Stastney worked with the corporate equity derivatives origination group of Credit Suisse First Boston, eventually becoming a Director and Head of the Hedging and Monetization Group, a joint venture between derivatives and equity capital markets. In 1997, he joined Credit Suisse First Boston’s then-combined convertible/equity derivative origination desk. From 1994 to 1997, he was an associate at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine and Moore in New York, in their tax and corporate groups, focusing on derivatives. He graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1990 with a B.A. in Political Theory and History, and from the Yale Law School in 1994 with a J.D. degree focusing on corporate and tax law. Mr. Stastney is currently a director of several public companies.

 

On January 14, 2013, Mr. Stastney was appointed as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer by its Board of Directors. In conjunction with his appointment, he entered into an employment agreement with the Issuer pursuant to which he will be employed for a period of 12 months. In consideration for his services, he will receive a base salary of $175,000 and an option to acquire two million shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $1.00 and with a term of 5 years, is eligible to participate in any Board-established employee-benefit plans of the Issuer, and has agreed to certain customary confidentiality, non-compete, and non-solicitation agreement provisions. Payment of this base salary is deferred until, and the date on which this option becomes exercisable is, the later of (i) January 1, 2014, and (ii) the date on which the Issuer’s securities held by the Fund have been redeemed in full.

 

Each Reporting Person and its representatives, and representatives of the Fund, have had discussions with senior management of the Issuer and expect in the future to have such discussions, through Mr. Stastney or otherwise, concerning ways in which the Issuer could maximize shareholder value.

 

 
 

 

Each Reporting Person and its representatives, and representatives of the Fund, expect that Mr. Stastney, in his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, will work with the Issuer’s Board and senior management to explore implementing a variety of measures on behalf of the Issuer that seek to grow the Issuer, including through opportunistic merger and acquisition and joint venture activity. The Reporting Persons expect that such growth will maximize value for all shareholders while facilitating the exercise of the Option by the Issuer.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 4 or in Item 3 hereto, neither of the Reporting Persons has any present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act. Each Reporting Person will continue to review this position based upon further developments. Furthermore, each Reporting Person anticipates that any measure implemented by the Issuer relating to any such clause, to the extent such measure may be attributable to Mr. Stastney, will be so attributable to him in his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer rather than in his role with either of the Reporting Persons.

 

As permitted by law, each Reporting Person may purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock or dispose of any or all of such securities from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, depending upon future evaluation of the Issuer and upon other developments, including general economic and stock market conditions.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a)The Fund, for which Vicis Capital, LLC acts as investment advisor, directly holds 896,340 of the shares reported on this Schedule. Vicis Capital, LLC may be deemed to beneficially own such 896,340 shares within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of the voting and dispositive power over such shares granted by Vicis Capital Master Fund to Vicis Capital, LLC. The voting and dispositive power granted to Vicis Capital, LLC by Vicis Capital Master Fund may be revoked at any time. Vicis disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares reported on this Schedule. The foregoing 896,340 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 6.3% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock (based upon 14,232,496 shares of Common Stock outstanding at September 30, 2012, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2012).

 

SLS I directly holds 650,000 of the shares reported on this Schedule. The foregoing 650,000 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 4.6% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock (based upon 14,232,496 shares of Common Stock outstanding at September 30, 2012, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2012, and 250,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the purchase right option owned by SLS I). SLS I disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Fund reported on this Schedule.

 

 
 

 

(b)For information on voting and dispositive power with respect to the above listed shares, see Items 7-10 of the Cover Pages.

 

(c)Except as disclosed in Item 3 of this Schedule, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transaction in the Common Stock in the past 60 days.

 

(d)Not applicable.

 

(e)Not applicable.
