Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On May 31, 2009, the Company, Mistral Equity Partners, LP (“MEP”), Mistral Equity Partners QP, LP (“MEP QP”), MEP Co-Invest, LLC (“MEP C-I”, together with MEP and MEP QP, the “Mistral Purchasers”) and a company controlled by the Serruya family (“Serruya”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), providing for (i) the issuance and sale to the Mistral Purchasers of 170,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock, the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Series B-1 Preferred”) at a price of $115 per share (the “Mistral Transaction”) and (ii) the issuance and sale to Serruya of 134,348 shares of a new series of preferred stock, the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Series B-2 Preferred” and, together with the Series B-1 Preferred, the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $115 per share (the

Series B-2 Transaction”).  Following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Serruya assigned all its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement and related documents to CanBa Investments, LLC (“CanBa”) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Contract dated June 4, 2009 among the Company, Serruya and CanBa (the “Assignment Agreement” and the Series B-2 Transaction, following the entering into of the Assignment Agreement, together with the Mistral Transaction, collectively, the “Transactions”).  The Transactions were consummated on June 16, 2009 (the “Closing”).

 

Shares of Preferred Stock are convertible at the election of the holders, at any time, into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $1.15 per share, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, dividends and the like.  The holders of the shares of Preferred Stock have the right to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company and are entitled to cast that number of votes equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such holders’ shares of Preferred Stock at the then-applicable conversion price.

 

At the Closing, CanBa purchased an aggregate of 134,348 shares of Series B-2 Preferred for an aggregate purchase price of $15,450,020.  Following the Closing, on June 17, 2009, certain members of CanBa exchanged their interests in CanBa into an equal number Series B-2 Preferred.  Following such exchange, CanBa held 80,609 Series B-2 Preferred.  As of the date hereof, such shares of Series B-2 Preferred are convertible into 8,060,900 shares of Common Stock.  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CanBa was entitled to a $85,000 reimbursement for fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the consummation of the Transaction.  Such expense reimbursement was deducted from the aggregate purchase price payable by CanBa at the Closing in exchange for its shares of Series B-2 Preferred.

 

All of the funds required to acquire the shares of Series B-2 Preferred at the Closing were obtained from capital contributions from the members of CanBa.

 

 The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (a) the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is listed hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference and (b) the full text of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), a copy of which is listed hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in Item 3 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

 

CanBa consummated the Series B-2 Transaction and acquired its shares of Series B-2 Preferred for investment purposes.  Depending upon market conditions and other factors that it may deem material, CanBa may purchase additional shares of Common Stock and/or related securities or may dispose of all or a portion of its shares of Series B-2 Preferred (or the shares of  

 

5



 

Common Stock underlying such shares) it now beneficially owns or may hereafter acquire.

 

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.

 

As a condition to the Closing, the Company was required to apply a portion of the proceeds obtained from the sale of the shares of Preferred Stock to pay and discharge in full the Victory Indebtedness (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and for other ordinary course working capital purposes.  The Victory Indebtedness was paid and discharged in full at the Closing.

 

Prior to the Closing, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation creating the Series B-1 Preferred and Series B-2 Preferred and providing for powers, preferences and relative, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.  The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible at the election of the holders, at any time, into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.15 per share, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, dividends and the like.

 

The holders of the shares of Preferred Stock have the right to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company and are entitled to cast that number of votes equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such holders’ shares of Preferred Stock at the then-applicable conversion price.  After a two-year period, the Company will have the right to force the shares of Preferred Stock to convert into shares of Common Stock if (i) the Common Stock trading volume averages 150,000 shares per trading day over a 30 trading day period and (ii) the daily volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock exceeds the product of 2.5 times the then-applicable conversion price for any 20 of the preceding 30 trading days.

 

The holders of the shares of the Series B-2 Preferred, voting as a separate class, are  entitled to elect one member to the board of directors of the Company (the “Preferred Director” and the Board of Directors of the Company, the “Board”) so long as more than 25% of the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred originally issued are outstanding.  In the event that (i) at the time of the Issuer’s 2010 annual meeting of its stockholders there are more than 9 members on the Board and (ii) so long as more than 50% of the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred originally issued are outstanding, then the size of the Board will be increased by one additional Board seat and the holders of the Series B-2 Preferred, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to elect one additional member to the Board to fill the seat. The ability to elect any members to the Board by the holders of the Series B-2 Preferred ceases once the number of outstanding shares of Series B-2 Preferred is less than 25% of the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred originally issued.  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the foregoing Board member election rights shall continue to be held by CanBa in respect of any shares of Common Stock held thereby upon conversion of any shares of its Series B-2 Preferred, although such election rights are subject to similar reductions depending on the percentage of such shares that

 

6



 

continue to be held by CanBa, relative to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the shares of Series B-2 Preferred that were issued and sold to CanBa at the Closing.

 

The shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to an 8% dividend, payable quarterly in cash, at the option of the Company.  The dividend rate will increase to 10% in the event the Common Stock is not listed for trading on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the American Stock Exchange or if the Company fails to declare and pay, in full and in cash, dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock for three consecutive quarters until such time as the dividends are paid in full and in cash.  Further, if the Company fails to declare and pay, in full and in cash, dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock for three consecutive quarters, the size of the Board shall be increased by one member and the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect one additional member to the Board until such time as the dividends are paid in full and in cash.

 

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding will have the right to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other junior stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the original sale price per share plus any unpaid accrued dividends or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Preferred Stock been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

 

After 7 years from the date the shares of Preferred Stock are originally issued, the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will have the right to require the Company to redeem their shares of Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at a price per share equal to the original sale price per share plus any unpaid but accrued dividends.

 

The Company has granted the purchasers of the shares of Preferred Stock certain preemptive rights with respect to the sale and issuance by the Company of equity securities, as delineated in the Purchase Agreement.  The holders of the shares of Preferred Stock also received customary protective provisions under the Certificate of Designation and additional protections under the Purchase Agreement (including the requirement that the consent of a majority of the holders of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock must be obtained prior to the Company incurring in excess of $10 million in indebtedness).

 

At the Closing, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Mistral Purchasers, CanBa and North Point Advisors LLC pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to grant the parties thereto certain registration rights including the right to require the Company to file a registration statement to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.  The Company also entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 1 to the  Rights Agreement”) to its rights agreement dated October 8, 2008 (the “Rights Agreement”) providing for the Mistral Purchasers and CanBa to be “Grandfathered Persons” such that the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock and the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock upon conversion thereof will not trigger the provisions of the Rights Agreement.  All other provisions of the Rights Agreement otherwise remain in effect.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Undertakings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The information in Items 3 and 4 is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 6.

 

CanBa has agreed that, for the first two years from the date the shares of Preferred Stock are originally issued, they will not effect a transfer of their shares of Series B-2 Preferred aggregating to 10% or more of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock on an as-converted basis unless the sale is first offered to the Company (the procedures for which are set forth in the Purchase Agreement).  CanBa has further agreed that, for 90 days following the Closing, it will not transfer any of its shares of Series B-2 Preferred (or shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock are convertible) to any third party, with certain exceptions in the case of transfers to affiliates or transfers in the context of tender or exchange offers.  CanBa is further restricted from knowingly transferring its shares of Series B-2 Preferred to a direct or indirect competitor of the Company, as reasonably determined by a majority of the Board (excluding the vote of any director elected by the Preferred Stock).  None of the foregoing restrictions on transfer will remain in effect in the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of the Company,

whether voluntary or involuntary.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, CanBa, its members, Mr. Michael Serruya, his immediate family members and companies which they control are also subject to certain standstill provisions for the period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on the earlier of (a) the first calendar day following the Company’s 2011 annual stockholder meeting, (b) June 1, 2011, (c) the date on which the majority of the Board (excluding any director elected by the Preffered Stock) is no longer comprised of Continuing Directors (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and (d) the date on which there exists dividend arrearages in respect of three quarterly dividend payments under the Certificate of Designation until such time as all accrued quarterly dividends required to be paid have been paid in full and in cash (the “Standstill Period”).  During the Standstill Period, CanBa and such other persons are not permitted to (i) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control management, the Board or the policies of the Company or to seek a waiver of any provision of the Purchase Agreement; or (ii) take any action resulting in CanBa or such other persons having to file or amend a Schedule 13D indicating a plan or proposal to do any of the foregoing.  The foregoing restrictions are subject to certain exceptions for the Preferred Directors and in connection with tender or exchange offers.

 

During the Standstill Period, CanBa has also agreed to vote (or cause any person to whom any of them have transferred 25% or more of the shares of Series B-2 Preferred purchased by them at the Closing (a “Permitted Transferee”)) or cause to vote all of their shares of Series B-2 Preferred and shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it or them, in connection with any election or removal of directors of the Board in (i) the manner recommended by the Board or (ii) the same proportion as the votes of all stockholders of the Company, other than the purchasers of Preferred Stock and their respective affiliates, present in person or by proxy at the applicable meeting with respect to the election or removal of each director.  CanBa further agreed to, and to cause each Permitted Transferee to, cause all shares of Series B-2 Preferred acquired thereby at the Closing and any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it or them to be present or represented by proxy at every meeting at which such shares are entitled to be voted.
