PREFERRED STOCK CONVERSION AGREEMENT

 

This Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 11, 2012, by and between Western Capital Resources, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), WCR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WCR”), and Mr. Richard E. Miller (“Miller,” and collectively referred to with WCR as the “Preferred Shareholders”), with respect to the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company into shares of common stock of the Company.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

A.             The Preferred Shareholders are the holders of record of all 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), with WCR having first acquired all such shares from WERCS, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, in a private purchase and sale transaction on April 1, 2010, and subsequently transferred 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock to Miller on October 20, 2010.

 

B.             The terms and conditions, and the rights, preferences and privileges, of the Preferred Stock are set forth in that certain Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock filed by the Company with the Minnesota Secretary of State on December 27, 2007 (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Certificate of Designation provides the Preferred Stock with the right to 10% cumulating dividends on a stated value of $21 million (i.e., $2,100,000 per year, payable in four quarterly installments of $525,000).

 

C.             Under the Certificate of Designation, the Company does not have the right to cause the Preferred Shareholders to convert the Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. The Preferred Shareholders, however, have the right under the Certificate of Designation to convert the Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time, into shares of common stock. Furthermore, the Certificate of Designation provides that (i) upon any liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference in the amount of $21 million (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends), and (ii) the Company has the right at its option to redeem the Preferred Stock at a price of $3.50 per each share of Preferred Stock, resulting in a potential maximum aggregate redemption price of $35 million.

 

D.             In November, 2012, Miller and representatives of WCR discussed with members of the Board of Directors of the Company the possibility of entering into an agreement pursuant to which the Preferred Shareholders would agree to convert all of their Preferred Stock into shares of common stock of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation, on the condition that the Company pay the Preferred Shareholders all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock no later than December 31, 2012.

 

E.             The Board of Directors of the Company, being aware that Miller is a Preferred Shareholder, is further aware, having been earlier advised, that (i) John Quandahl, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a director of the Company, possesses an economic interest in WCR, and (ii) two other directors, Messrs. Angel Donchev and Thomas H. Ripley, have employment or other business relationships with one or more entities under common control with WCR.

 

F.             For the foregoing reasons, the Board of Directors of the Company, on November 28, 2012, created a “Special Committee” consisting solely of Mr. Ellery Roberts, a director of the Company who qualifies as an “independent director” under the NASDAQ listing rules (which rules the Company has traditionally used for purposes of making independence determinations and disclosures), and as a “disinterested director” under the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, to assess and approve of all matters and decisions relating to any potential agreement with the Preferred Shareholders respecting the conversion of their Preferred Stock into common stock (a “Conversion Transaction”).

 

G.             The resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company creating the Special Committee specifically conferred upon that committee the full power and authority of the Board of Directors to (i) negotiate the terms and conditions of a potential Conversion Transaction, (ii) consult with and retain experts and advisors in the process of negotiating such terms and conditions, including but not limited to legal counsel, and (iii) approve and authorize the execution and delivery of any agreed-upon definitive documentation relating to a potential Conversion Transaction.

 

B-1
 

 

H.             On the date hereof, the Special Committee reached an agreement with the Preferred Shareholders respecting a Conversion Transaction, after having considered the various benefits to the Company of engaging in a Conversion Transaction (specifically including but not limited to the elimination of required dividend payments, the elimination of a large liquidation preference and other rights and privileges attendant to the Preferred Stock, and a simpler capital structure more likely to result in value for the holders of the common stock of the Company and more likely to serve as a method of financing growth), and having determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to enter into a Conversion Transaction.

 

I.             In light of the foregoing, the Company and the Preferred Shareholders wish to set forth their mutual agreement respecting the Conversion Transaction, in the form of this Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT

 

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing facts, the mutual promises of the parties contained herein and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Conversion of Preferred Stock; Payment of Dividends. The Preferred Shareholders agree to convert, effective as of the Closing Date, as defined below, all of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock into shares of common stock of the Company at the same one-to-one conversion ratio as that at which holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to convert their preferred shares under the Certificate of Designation (the “Conversion”). The Company agrees to pay all accrued but unpaid dividends on account of the Preferred Shares through the Closing Date (the “Dividend Payment”). The aggregate Dividend Payment owed to the Preferred Shareholders as of December 10, 2012 would be $6,055,163.04 (with any aggregate per diem amounts accruing thereafter being calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designation). The Company shall tender the Dividend Payment in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts specified in advance and in writing by the Preferred Shareholders; provided, however, that up to $405,163.04 of the Dividend Payment may be paid pursuant to the delivery of a demand promissory note in customary form acceptable to the Preferred Shareholders and bearing interest at zero percent per annum. The portion of the Dividend Payment that must be paid in cash at Closing is referred to as the “Minimum Required Dividend Payment.”

 

2.             Waiver. Effective as of the Closing Date, but not prior thereto, the Preferred Shareholders hereby waive any and all defaults of the Company existing as of such time under the Certificate of Designation, specifically including but not limited to the failure of the Company to pay any accrued but unpaid dividends from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date as required under the Certificate of Designation.

 

3.             Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Preferred Shareholders as follows: (a) the Company has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and this Agreement, once executed and delivered by the parties hereto, will constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; and (b) the Conversion Stock, as defined below, shall upon its issuance pursuant to this Agreement constitute duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable shares of capital stock of the Company. Immediately prior to the Conversion, there were 50,397,780 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding. The shares of Company common stock issuable upon the Conversion pursuant to this Agreement (the “Conversion Stock”) will consist of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, and will represent approximately 16.56% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company immediately after the Conversion. According to the books and records of the Company, WCR will be the owner of 54,427,922 shares of common stock immediately after the Conversion (after giving effect to anticipated transactions with Miller), representing approximately 90.12% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (i.e., 60,397,780 shares) at such time.

 

4.             Representations and Warranties of the Preferred Shareholders. The Preferred Shareholders hereby severally, but not jointly, represent and warrant to the Company as follows: (a) this Agreement, once executed and delivered by the parties hereto, is and will upon the Closing be a valid and binding agreement of the Preferred Shareholders enforceable against them in accordance with its terms; (b) the Preferred Stock delivered to the Company for conversion into the Conversion Stock at the Closing will be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind and nature; (c) Miller is a director of the Company, and WCR is an “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”); (d) the Preferred Shareholders have been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company, including the opportunity to meet with Company representatives and review all such documents as the Preferred Shareholders may have requested in writing; (e) the Preferred Shareholders are experienced and knowledgeable in financial and business matters, capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Conversion Stock, and do not need or desire the assistance of a knowledgeable representative to aid in the evaluation of such risks; (f) the Preferred Shareholders are acquiring the Conversion Stock for their own respective accounts, can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Conversion Stock for an indefinite period of time, can afford to sustain a complete loss of such investment, and have no need for liquidity in connection with an investment in the Conversion Stock; (g) the Preferred Shareholders acknowledge and understand that neither the offer nor the sale of the Conversion Stock pursuant to this Agreement will be registered under the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and as a result (and due to the status of the Preferred Shareholders as affiliates under the Securities Act) certificates representing the Conversion Stock will contain a legend stating that the Conversion Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and that such Conversion Stock may not be transferred in the absence of either (i) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such proposed transfer may be made lawfully without the registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or (ii) the registration of such transfer of Conversion Stock. Finally, WCR represents and warrants to the Company that it has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(ii)             there shall not be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order or injunction enacted, entered, enforced, promulgated, issued or deemed applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby by any federal, state or foreign court, government or governmental authority or agency, which would reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in any of the consequences referred to in paragraph (i) above; and

At the Closing, the Preferred Shareholders will deliver the following documents and instruments (the “Preferred Shareholder Deliveries”): (a) their original stock certificates representing the Preferred Stock, either duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an appropriate stock power in form and substance customary and acceptable to the Company (or a written undertaking by the Preferred Shareholders to deliver the foregoing items, accompanied by indemnity, in form and substance acceptable to the Company); and (b) the Closing certificates described in Section 5(b)(iii) above.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except for the provisions of Sections 8 through 14, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If the Closing does not occur by virtue of the Company not having timely made the Minimum Required Dividend Payment, the Preferred Shareholders shall have no remedy hereunder or at law or in equity in the absence of a willful failure by the Company to take commercially reasonable action designed to satisfy the condition that the Minimum Required Dividend Payment be made.
