NOTE 14 – PREFERRED STOCK

Preferred Stock Series A

The Company issued a total of 100,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock in April 2008 as partial consideration for its acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in PostInk Technology, LP (“PostInk”).  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock, but has voting rights on a basis of 15 votes per share, after adjusting for the Company’s reverse stock split in October 2015.  These shares are held by the former general partner of PostInk, which is owned by the co-founders of the Company.

Upon the occurrence of certain events, each share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully-paid non-assessable shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate for such share.  The events that may trigger this automatic conversion event are as follows:  1) immediately prior to the closing of firm commitment initial public offering, or 2) upon the receipt of the Company of a written request for such conversion from the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred stock then outstanding, or if later, the effective date for conversion specified in such requests.

Series B Preferred Stock

During 2009 and 2010, the Company completed a private placement of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase its common stock in which the Company raised $1,500,000 in gross proceeds. As a result, the Company issued 375,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares of its common stock.

For the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, gross dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were $0 and $26,466, respectively. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, gross dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were $0 and $78,534.  

Effective October 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the Series B stockholders (the “Conversion Agreement”) whereby they agreed to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, exercise their warrants at an exercise price reduced from $10.00 per share to $6.25 per share in full for cash, terminate the Investors’ Rights Agreement and waive any rights they may have under such agreement.  In return, the Company agreed to amend their warrants to reduce the exercise price from $10.00 per share to $6.25 per share, issue the Series B stockholders an additional aggregate 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, pay aggregate accrued dividends of up to approximately $680,000 in cash within 30 days of the Company’s listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market and grant the Series B stockholders certain board and board observer rights.

On November 13, 2015, we issued 225,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate, upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the exercise of Series B Warrants held by ten persons. Additionally, we issued an additional 60,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate, to the same ten persons upon such conversion. 50,000 shares of common stock, attributable to the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, remain to be issued as of the date of this report, pending receipt of certain Series B certificates.
