STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 120,000,000 shares, $0.01 par value per share, consisting of 79,999,997 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, two (2) shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (which have been redeemed in accordance with their terms and may not be reissued), one (1) share of special stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 40,000,000 shares of a new class of blank check preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 30,679,566 shares and 29,978,471 shares of common stock issued, respectively, and 25,663,820 shares and 25,240,878 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.

At-The-Market Equity Offering Program

In December 2016, we entered into an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), to sell up to an aggregate of $12.0 million of our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we sold 120,299 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.2 million (excluding approximately $218,000 in professional and brokerage fees) at a weighted average price of $9.76 per share. As of December 31, 2016, $10.8 million of common stock remained available for issuance under the ATM Program.

Preferred Stock

We were authorized to issue two shares of preferred stock, one share of special stock and 40,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock. The share of Series A preferred stock was issued to a trustee acting for the benefit of our creditors. The share of Series B preferred stock was issued to the former Majority Shareholder. The share of special stock was issued and sold to Third Avenue, and enables Third Avenue or its affiliated designee to elect one member of the Board of Directors.

On or about March 8, 2016, a General Unsecured Claim Satisfaction (as defined in the Plan) occurred. Under the Plan, a General Unsecured Claim Satisfaction occurs when all of the allowed creditor claims of Syms Corp. and Filene’s Basement, LLC, have been paid in full their distributions provided for under the Plan and any disputed creditor claims have either been disallowed or reserved for by Trinity. On March 14, 2016, we made the final Majority Shareholder payment (as defined in the Plan) to the Majority Shareholder in the amount of approximately $6.9 million. Following the General Unsecured Claim Satisfaction and payment to the former Majority Shareholder, we satisfied our payment and reserve obligations under the Plan.

Upon the occurrence of the General Unsecured Claim Satisfaction, the share of Series A Preferred Stock was automatically redeemed in accordance with its terms and may not be reissued. In addition, upon the payment to the former Majority Shareholder, the share of Series B Preferred Stock was automatically redeemed in accordance with its terms and may not be reissued.
