In November 2014, we entered into a second Securities Exchange Agreement with Platinum, pursuant to which Platinum exchanged
4,499,520 shares of our common stock owned by Platinum for 1,376 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock.In
August 2015, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with two investment funds managed by Platinum to exchange the 4,519 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by them for twenty -year warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (the “Series LL Warrants”). The Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of 3,270 shares of common stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock resulting in an aggregate number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock was convertible of 14,777,130 shares. The exercise price of the Series LL Warrants is $0.01 per share, and the total number of shares of common stock for which the Series LL Warrants are exercisable is 14,777,130 shares. The Series LL Warrants contain cashless exercise provisions, and the other economic terms are comparable to those of the Series B Preferred Stock, except that there is no liquidation preference associated with the Series LL Warrants or shares issuable on the exercise thereof. The Securities Exchange Agreement also contains certain provisions that prohibit the payment of dividends, distributions of common stock or issuances of common stock at effective prices less than $1.35. There was no other consideration paid or received for the exchange. No gain or loss was recognized in our consolidated financial statements as a result of the exchange. The exchange transaction was entered into in connection with the filing of an application to list the Company’s common stock on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) in order to comply with a listing requirement of the TASE requiring that listed companies have only one class of equity securities issued and outstanding. Following the exchange, the Company has no shares of preferred stock outstanding. |
