EXPLANATORY NOTES

 

This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 7”) is being filed jointly by JIG LLC and Richard L. Jackson and amends the statement on the Schedule 13D that was originally filed jointly by JIG LLC and Richard L.

This Amendment No. 7 amends the Statement as specifically set forth herein. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Statement.

 

Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby further amended to add the following paragraphs:

 

On October 26, 2020, JIG LLC entered into the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, which is Exhibit 1 hereto, and the Amended Note, which is Exhibit 2 hereto, which amended and restated the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with JIG LLC dated September 15, 2017 (the “Existing Note Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Amendment Transaction”). The Amended Note Purchase Agreement extended the maturity of the loan made pursuant to, and revised certain of the terms and conditions of, the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Amendment Transaction, JIG LLC received an amendment fee of $488,123.92.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended Note, the Issuer is required to pay interest on the loan made pursuant thereto at a per annum rate of 12%, which interest is payable monthly in cash, subject to the Issuer’s right to elect to pay up to 50% of monthly interest payable under such Amended Note in-kind (“PIK Interest”) by adding such PIK Interest to the outstanding principal balance of the Amended Note. For any month that the Issuer elects to pay such PIK Interest, it is required to issue to JIG LLC the PIK Interest Fee Shares.

 

As part of the Amendment Transaction, JIG LLC and the Issuer also entered into that certain Omnibus Amendment and Reaffirmation Agreement, dated October 26, 2020 among JIG LLC, the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), which is Exhibit 3 hereto, which among other things amended that certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated September 15, 2017, as amended, and that certain Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement, dated September 15, 2017, as amended.

 

In connection with the Amendment Transaction, JIG LLC and the Issuer amended the A&R Warrant, which is Exhibit 4 hereto. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, the exercise price of the A&R Warrant was reduced from $1.66 per share to $1.00 per share and the term of the A&R Warrant was extended to January 26, 2026.

 

No new funds were provided by JIG LLC to the Issuer in connection with the Amendment Transaction. The source of funds for JIG LLC’s prior investments in the Issuer were reported by JIG LLC in prior Amendments to this Statement.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

 

JIG LLC entered into the Amendment Transaction for the purpose of extending the maturity date of the loan made pursuant to the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and revising certain other terms and conditions of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and related agreements. The Reporting Persons are continually reviewing its investment in the Issuer.

 

Depending upon:

(1) the Reporting Persons’ assessment of the Issuer’s businesses, assets and prospects and the Issuer’s ability to secure future financing from sources other than the Reporting Persons, as well as prospects for the industries which the Issuer’s business serves, (2) the contractual provisions, limitations and other terms of JIG LLC’s financing-related agreements with the Issuer, (3) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons, (4) general economic conditions and overall market conditions, (5) the ability of the Reporting Persons to carry out transactions without liability under Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act, (6) the price at which shares of Common Stock are available (i) for purchase, including through private or public market offerings or pursuant to the purchase rights of the various derivative securities held by JIG LLC as reported in this Statement, or (ii) for sale, and (7) availability of alternative investment opportunities and the Reporting Persons’ investment strategy at the time,

 

the Reporting Persons may:

(A) seek to make additional investments in the Issuer, which could include an acquisition of the Issuer or funding specific cash needs of the Issuer if they arise and satisfactory terms can be agreed, (B) determine not to pursue any further investments in the Issuer and/or not to extend its current loan beyond its September 2022 maturity date, and instead decrease their holdings of Common Stock, (C) seek to engage in communications with management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer or with other stockholders of the Issuer concerning the Issuer’s businesses, prospects, operations, strategy, personnel, directors, ownership and capitalization, and (D) either individually or together with others may make proposals with respect to the Issuer that may involve one or more of the types of transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons have no other plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events described in (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Statement, except as described above.

 

 

 

 

The response to Item 3 and Exhibits 1-5 are hereby incorporated herein.

 

Subparts (e) and (g) of Item 4 of the Statement are hereby further amended to add the following:

 

In connection with the Amendment Transaction, the Issuer filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Second Certificate Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 5 hereto. Under the Second Certificate Amendment, holders of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to monthly cash dividends on shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a per annum rate of 12%. At the Issuer’s option commencing on October 26, 2020 and ending on October 25, 2022, up to 50% of the cash dividend on the Base Series E Preferred Stock may be paid in kind by adding such 50% portion to the outstanding liquidation value of the Base Series E Preferred Stock. If such PIK Dividend Payment is elected by the Issuer, a holder of Base Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to PIK Dividend Fee Shares as an additional fee to be paid in shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in an amount equal to $10,000 divided by the Average Closing Price. Dividends on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock may only be paid in cash.

 

Under the terms of the Second Certificate Amendment, shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into the Issuer’s Common Stock at any time at a conversion rate equal to the liquidation value of each shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, divided by $1.00 per share (which was decreased from $1.66 per share). Each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share, and as of October 31, 2020 JIG LLC beneficially owned a total of 1,267 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock. JIG LLC’s shares of Base Series E Preferred Stock will be convertible at JIG LLC’s option into shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock after October 31, 2022 or upon the occurrence of an event of default specified in the Second Amended Certificate, whichever occurs earlier. The conversion rate for the Issuer’s Base Series E Preferred Stock is equal to the liquidation value of each share of Base Series E Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, divided by $1.00 per share. Each share of Base Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and as of October 27, 2020 JIG LLC beneficially owned a total of 13,000 shares of Base Series E Preferred Stock.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Subparts (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Statement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

Of the shares deemed to be beneficially owned, (1) 905,508 are not outstanding and consist of shares which may be acquired by JIG LLC pursuant to the A&R Warrant at any time prior to January 26, 2026 and (2) 1,267,139 are not outstanding and consist of shares which may be converted from shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock at the holder’s option at any time from and after the earlier of October 31, 2020 or the occurrence of an event of default specified in the Certificate of Designation. In addition to the 4,241,343 shares referenced above, Richard L. Jackson individually and beneficially owns 144 shares of Common Stock (which together with the 4,241,343 shares constitutes approximately 36.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer). With the exception of the 144 shares personally owned, Richard L. Jackson disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the shares reported to be beneficially owned by him except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

EXECUTION VERSION

 

AMENDMENT NO. 3

to

AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 dated October 26, 2020 (this “Amendment”) amends the Warrant (defined below), and is by and between Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Jackson Investment Group, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, on April 25, 2018, the Company and Holder entered into an Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of August 27, 2018 and by that certain Amendment No. 2 dated as of November 15, 2018 (as so amended, the “Warrant”), which entitles Holder to purchase 905,508 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a current exercise price of $1.66 per share (each subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant); and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Holder’s execution of that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof, between Holder and the Company, the parties desire to further amend the Warrant to decrease the Exercise Price and to extend the Exercise Period.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree that the Warrant shall be amended as follows:

 

1.      Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed in the Warrant.

 

2.      Section 3.1 of the Warrant is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Section 3.1 Exercise Price. The Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of this A&R Warrant Agreement, the right to purchase from the Company up to 905,508 shares of Common Stock at the price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Article IV (the “Exercise Price”).”

 

3.      Section 3.2 of the Warrant is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Section 3.2 Exercise Period. The Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and from time to time commencing six months following the Date of Issuance and prior to 5:00 P.M., New York time on January 26, 2026 (the “Exercise Period”); provided that Registered Holder shall be able to exercise its Warrant only if the exercise of such Warrant is exempt from, or in compliance with, any applicable registration requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of the states in which the Registered Holder of the Warrant or other persons to whom it is proposed that the Warrant Exercise Shares be issued, on exercise of the Warrant reside. To the extent that the Warrant or portion thereof is not exercised prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period, it shall be automatically cancelled with no action by any Person, and with no further rights thereunder, upon such expiration.”

 

 

 

 

4.     On and after the date of this Amendment, the parties agree that the term “A&R Warrant Agreement”, appearing in the Warrant certificate issued to Holder in connection with the Warrant, shall be deemed to refer to the Warrant agreement as amended by this Amendment and as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

 

5.     This Amendment may be executed in any number of original or facsimile or electronic PDF counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
