Lincoln Park Transaction

 

On February 18, 2013, Cytomedix entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), together with a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”). Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $15 million in shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), subject to certain limitations, from time to time, over the 30-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement, which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed. The Company may direct Lincoln Park every other business day, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock in regular purchases, increasing to amounts of up to 200,000 shares depending upon the closing sale price of the Common Stock. In addition, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if on the date of a regular purchase the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below $1.00 per share. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock related to the future funding will be based on the prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales (or over a period of up to 12 business days leading up to such time), but in no event will shares be sold to Lincoln Park on a day the Common Stock closing price is less than the floor price of $0.45 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company’s sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement are limited to no more than the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 375,000 shares of Common Stock and is required to issue up to 375,000 additional shares of Common Stock pro rata as the Company requires Lincoln Park to purchase the Company’s shares under the Purchase Agreement over the term of the agreement. Lincoln Park represented to the Company, among other things, that it was an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from the Company as it directs in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our shares.

 

Common Stock and Warrant Registered Offering

 

On February 19, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional accredited investors, including certain current shareholders of the Company, to raise gross proceeds of $5,000,000, before placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses, in a registered offering. The Company will issue to the investors units of the Company’s securities consisting, in the aggregate, of 9,090,910 shares of the Company’s common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 6,363,637 shares of common stock. The purchase price paid by investors was $0.55 for each unit. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share on or after February 22, 2013 and is subject to transfer restrictions, including among others, compliance with the state securities laws. The closing of the offering took place on February 22, 2013. Proceeds from the transaction will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. The warrants are classified in equity.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay an aggregate cash fee in the amount of $350,000 (the “Placement Fee”). The Company has also agreed to reimburse up to $52,000 for expenses incurred by the placement agent in connection with the offering. In addition, the Company granted to the placement agent warrants to purchase 136,364 shares of our common stock. The warrants will have the same terms as the investor warrants in this offering, except that the exercise price will be 120% of the exercise price of the investor warrants and may also be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-183704, the base prospectus originally filed with the SEC on August 31, 2012, as subsequently amended and as supplemented by a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2013).

 

The securities purchase agreements contain representations, covenants and other provisions customary for the agreements of this nature. In addition, such agreements provide for certain “piggy-back” registrations rights with respect to the Company’s securities (including shares to be issued upon warrant exercises) purchased in the offering by investors that are affiliates of the Company, such that the Company agreed, to the extent such affiliate investors are not able to resell such securities without restriction, to include such securities in its future registration statements, subject to applicable limitations. Also, to the extent that such securities have been not registered at the time the Company is required to file a registration statement in connection with the final milestone event relating to the February 2012 Aldagen acquisition, the affiliate investors will have the right to include such securities in such registration statement.

 

In connection with this offering, the Company and the Maryland Venture Fund (Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development), an investor in the above referenced offering (“MVF”), in compliance with MVF’s investment policies, agreed to execute a certain Stock Repurchase Agreement which requires the Company to repurchase the MVF’s investment, at MVF’s option, upon certain events outside of the Company’s control; provided, however, that in the event that, at the time of either such event the Company’s securities are listed on a national securities exchange, the foregoing repurchase will not be triggered. The common shares issued to MVF are classified as “contingently redeemable common shares” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The value of the warrants and offering expenses allocable to the contingently redeemable common shares was not material.

 

MidCap Credit and Security Agreement and Related Agreements

 

On February 19, 2013, the Company (and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aldagen, Inc. and Cytomedix Acquisition Company, LLC) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Midcap Financial LLC (“Midcap”), that provides for an aggregate term loan commitments of $7.5 million. The Company received the first tranche of $4.5 million on February 27, 2013. The second tranche of $3.0 million may be advanced to the Company, at the Company’s discretion, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) if the Company achieves certain performance milestones for 2013 and (ii) raises an amount of not less than $5.0 million in the aggregate from (a) equity investors, and/or (b) partnership proceeds on or before July 31, 2013 (the “Capital Raise Event”).

 

The term loan will mature on August 19, 2016, and will be repaid on a straight-line amortization basis, with the first twelve months being an interest-only period and commencing on the thirteenth month the principal on both the first tranche and, if applicable, on the second tranche, will be amortized in equal monthly amounts through the maturity date.

 

In connection with the foregoing loan facility, the Company issued MidCap a seven-year warrant to purchase 1,079,137 shares of the Company’s common stock at the warrant exercise price of $0.70 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock, and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to the Company’s stockholders. The warrant contains a cashless exercise provision. The warrant is not and will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. MidCap is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

Interest on the outstanding balance of the term loan is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus 8.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 3%, and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360 day year. In the event the term loan is prepaid by the Company prior to the end of its term, the Company will be required to pay to MidCap a fee equal to an amount determined by multiplying the outstanding amount on the loan by 5% in the first year, 3% in the second year and 1% after that.

 

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest on all existing and after-acquired assets of the Company, including the intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The Credit Agreement contains events of default and remedies customary for loan transactions of this sort including, among others, those related to a default in the payment of principal or interest, a material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, a default with regard to performance of certain covenants, a material adverse change (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs, and certain change of control events. In addition, the failure to consummate the Capital Raise Event constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Company would also be in default under the Credit Agreement in the event of certain withdrawals, recalls, adverse test results or enforcement actions with respect to the Company’s products. Upon the occurrence of a default, in some cases following a notice and cure period, MidCap may accelerate the maturity of the loans and require the full and immediate repayment of all borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains financial and customary negative covenants, including with respect to the Company’s ability to sell, lease, transfer, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of its assets except in the ordinary course of business, or incur additional indebtedness.

 

The Company plans to use the funds for general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

Release of the Worden Security Interest in the Licensed Patents

 

On February 19, 2013, the Company and Charles E. Worden Sr., an individual holder of security interest in patents pursuant to the Substitute Royalty Agreement, dated November 4, 2001 (the “SRA”), executed an Amendment to the SRA (the “SRA Amendment”) for the purposes of terminating and releasing the security interest and the reversionary interest under the terms of the SRA in exchange for the following consideration: (i) a one-time cash payment of $500,000 (to replace all future minimum monthly royalty payments), (ii) issuance of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Worden Shares”), and (iii) grant of the right to acquire up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a seven-year warrant with the exercise price of $0.70 per share (the “Worden Warrant”). In addition, under the terms of the Amendment, Mr. Worden’s future annual royalty stream limitation was increased from $600,000 to $625,000. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Worden Warrant is subject to standard anti-dilution provisions. The Worden Warrants contain provisions that are customary for the instruments of this nature, including, among others, a cashless exercise provision. The warrants are classified as equity.

 

Mr. Worden is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Company therefore sold the Worden Shares and the Worden Warrant in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

JP Nevada Trust Note Amendment

 

On February 19, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cytomedix Acquisition Company, LLC, the holder of the April 28, 2011 $2.1 million secured promissory note (the “JP Trust Note”), JP’s Nevada Trust (the “Lender”), agreed, in consideration for subordination of its security interest under the JP Trust Note to that of MidCap pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, to amend the JP Trust Note to (i) extend the maturity date of such note to November 19, 2016 and (ii) expand the Lender’s second lien security interest under the Note to include the assets of the Company and Aldagen, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, in addition to the previously secured assets of Cytomedix Acquisition Company, LLC. The parties also agreed to amend the vesting schedule on the Lender’s warrants issued by the Company in April 2011 such that the remaining 250,000 warrant shares are exercisable immediately. Finally, the Company agreed to issue the Lender a new warrant to purchase up to 266,666 shares at an exercise price of $0.70 per share vesting as follows: (i) 133,333 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fourth anniversary of its issuance, and (ii) the remaining 133,333 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance.

 

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the original issuance of the JP Trust Note, the Company’s payment obligations with respect to $1.4 million under the JP Trust Note were guaranteed by certain insiders, affiliates, and shareholders of the Company, including David E. Jorden, Chairman of the Board of the Company (the “Guarantors”). In light of the foregoing changes to the Lender’s warrant vesting schedule and issuance of new warrants the Lender, as described above, the disinterested members of the Board also: (i) reviewed and approved amendments to the warrant vesting schedule on the Guarantors’ warrants (including those held by Mr. Jorden) issued by the Company in April 2011 such that the remaining 500,000 warrant shares are exercisable immediately and (ii) granted the right to the Guarantors to acquire up to 533,334 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to warrants at the exercise price of $0.70 per share, vesting as follows: (i) 266,667 warrant shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been prepaid by the fourth anniversary of its issuance, and (ii) the remaining 266,667 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance (including 107,143 of the previously issued warrants held by Mr. Jorden, which will now vest immediately, and (i) 57,143 of his warrant shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fourth anniversary of its issuance, and (ii) the remaining 57,143 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance).

 

The warrant was sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof. The Lender and each of the Guarantors are “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) and Rule 506 under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

JMJ Financial Note Amendment and Subordination

 

On February 19, 2013, the Company and JMJ Financial (“JMJ”), the holder of certain convertible promissory notes issued by the Company (together, the “JMJ Notes”), agreed, in consideration of the subordination of JMJ’s rights and remedies under the JMJ Note to that of MidCap pursuant to the terms of the certain Subordination Agreement (the “JMJ Subordination Agreement”), to amend the JMJ Notes to extend the maturity date of the JMJ Notes to the later of (i) three years from the effective date of such notes or (ii) the date that is one business day following the date the MidCap loan is paid in full. In addition, JMJ converted $100,000 of the outstanding balance on one of the JMJ Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company remitted a payment in the amount of $370,000 to partially satisfy one of the JMJ Notes, with approximately $750,000 of the JMJ Notes to remain currently outstanding.

Each share of Common stock represents the right to one vote. Holders of Common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the limitations in the terms of the Series A, B, C, and D Convertible Preferred stock described below.

These dividends are prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution on any outstanding shares of Common stock or any other equity securities of the Company ranking junior as to the payment of dividends. Dividends are to be paid in shares of Series A stock or, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, in cash.

Each share of Series A stock may be converted into Common stock at a conversion rate equal to 90% of the twenty-day average closing price of the Company’s Common stock, but in no case shall this price be less than $3.00 per share.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The 10% Series D Convertible Preferred stock (the “Series D”) was converted into Common stock in February 2012.

  

The Company’s Board designated 2,000,000 shares of the preferred stock as the Series D stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Series D stock earned cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning on July 15, 2010, or, in the Company’s sole discretion, in shares of Common stock valued at the 5-day volume weighted average price ending 3 days immediately preceding the dividend due date, but in no case at a price less than $0.40 per share. The Series D stock was convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of Common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.4392. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders were entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees then due and owing thereon, for each share of Series D stock before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities. The holders of the Series D stock could vote their shares on a “one share one vote” basis. At any time after the third anniversary of the issuance date, the Company could redeem some or all of the then outstanding Series D stock, for cash equal to 100% of the aggregate stated value and accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series D stock also provided that with limited exceptions as discussed below, in no event would the Company effect any conversion of the Series D stock and the holder of the Series D stock would not have the right to convert the Series D stock, to the extent that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder of the Series D stock and its affiliates in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the holder upon such conversion). The Series D stock holder could decrease the foregoing threshold upon 61 days’ notice of such decrease to us. The Series D stock was not listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from this transaction for debt servicing and general corporate and working capital purposes. The Company’s total expense in connection with this offering is $199,000.

 

On October 6, 2010, Cytomedix entered into a certain Purchase Agreement (the “LPA”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, LPC is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $1.5 million of the Company’s shares of common stock, including up to 91,784 commitment shares, over the 25-month term of the LPA. Under this LPA, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, on every other business day, to present LPC with a purchase notice, directing LPC (as principal) to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per trading day, up to $1.5 million of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate over the 25-month term of the LPA, at a per share price (the “Purchase Price”) calculated as the lower of (i) the lowest trading price on the date of sale or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for the common stock during the 12 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of those securities. The LPA provides in no event shall the Purchase Price be less than $0.30 per share. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of its common stock to LPC. LPC has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from the Company as the Company directs in accordance with the LPA. The Company also can accelerate the amount of common stock to be purchased under certain circumstances. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the LPA. The Company did not pay any expense reimbursement or placement agent fee in connection with the LPA. The LPA may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its discretion, without any penalty or cost to the Company. The Company’s ability to sell its shares to LPC is also subject to its obtaining all necessary consents, amendments or waivers as may be required. Under the LPA, the Company may not sell to LPC any shares of its common stock in excess of 19.99% of its shares of common stock outstanding, unless and until such issuances are approved by our shareholders, in the event such approval is required under the rules and regulations of the trading market where the Company’s securities are then listed. The LPA contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions and indemnification and termination provisions by, among and for the benefit of the parties. LPC has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares of common stock. The net proceeds the Company may receive will depend on the frequency and prices at which it sells shares of stock to LPC under the LPA and the maximum proceeds it may receive over the 25-month term of the agreement is $1.5 million. The Company expects that any proceeds received by the Company from sales of the Company’s common stock to LPC under the LPA, when such sales are made, will be used for debt servicing and general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

On October 5, 2010, we entered into a $10 million Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with LPC, together with a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), whereby LPC has agreed to purchase up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock over a 25-month period. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the shares that have been or may be issued to LPC under the Purchase Agreement. After the SEC has declared effective such registration statement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, over a 25-month period, to sell shares of its common stock to LPC in amounts of up to 150,000 shares per business day every other business day, depending on certain conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, up to the aggregate amount of $10 million. The purchase price for the shares of common stock to be purchased by LPC will be the lower of (i) the lowest trading price on the date of sale or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for the common stock during the 12 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of those securities. In no event, however, will the additional shares be sold to LPC at a price of less than $0.30 per share. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 305,944 shares of restricted common stock as an initial commitment and is required to issue up to 336,538 additional commitment shares of common stock, pro rata, as the Company requires LPC to purchase the Company’s shares under the Purchase Agreement over the term of the agreement. The Company can also accelerate the amount of common stock to be purchased under certain circumstances. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time at the Company’s discretion without any cost to the Company. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company may not sell to LPC any shares of its common stock in excess of 19.99% of its shares of common stock outstanding, unless and until such issuances are approved by our shareholders, in the event such approval is required under the rules and regulations of the trading market where the Company’s securities are then listed. The Company’s ability to sell its shares to LPC is also subject to its obtaining all necessary consents, amendments or waivers as may be required. The proceeds received by the Company under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for debt servicing, working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

On July 15, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, the Company paid a dividend on its Series D Preferred stock in the form of shares of its Common stock. The total dividend paid to all Series D Preferred stock holders was 175,049 Common shares.

 

On April 9, 2010, in connection with the Guaranty Agreements, the Company issued warrants to the Guarantors to purchase an aggregate 1,333,334 shares of Common stock of the Company. The warrants expire after five years and are exercisable at $0.5368 per share (see Note 17).

 

On April 9, 2010, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), with respect to the sale of its (i) 10% Series D Convertible Preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of Common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) (together, the “Securities”), for gross proceeds of $3.65 million (before customary offering expenses of approximately $423,000, and excluding any proceeds that Cytomedix may receive upon exercise of the Warrants) (the “Preferred Stock Offering”). The Preferred Stock earns dividends at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or, in the Company’s sole discretion, in shares of the Company’s Common stock. The Preferred Stock may be converted, at the holder’s option, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common stock at the conversion price equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the 10 trading days prior to the closing date, or $0.4392. The conversion price on the Preferred Stock for affiliate investors is $0.5580. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders will be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees then due and owing thereon, for each share of Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities. At any time after the third anniversary of the issuance date, the Company may redeem some or all of the then outstanding Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the stated value of the outstanding Preferred Stock plus any accrued dividends. The Preferred Stock will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. The Purchasers were also issued five-year Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 4,128,631 shares of Common stock, which number represents 50% of shares of Common stock underlying the Preferred Stock as of the closing of the Preferred Stock Offering, at an exercise price per share of $0.5368. Each Warrant is exercisable immediately on the date of issuance and will expire on April 9, 2015. In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement executed by the Company in connection with the April 2010 private offering, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register the resale of the Company’s common stock underlying certain securities sold in the April 2010 private offering. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 3, 2010. The Preferred Stock and Warrants are classified as equity. The proceeds from the Preferred Stock Offering were allocated among Preferred Stock and Warrants based on their relative fair values. Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock Offering, a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $1,948,155 was recorded and fully amortized in April 2010 and is reflected in the Preferred dividend section of the statement of operations. The beneficial conversion feature represents the intrinsic value of the Preferred Stock which results from the effective conversion price of the convertible preferred stock being lower than the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of issuance.

 

No dividends were declared or paid on the Company’s Common stock in 2012, 2011, and 2010.
