EXPLANATORY NOTES

 

This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 8”) is being filed jointly by JIG LLC and Richard L.

Jackson with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 7, 2017 and was amended on March 23, 2017, April 7, 2017, August 8, 2017, September 18, 2017, September 4, 2018, November 15, 2018 and November 10, 2020 (collectively, the “Statement”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.00001, of the Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 8 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:

 

Exchange Agreement

 

On May 6, 2021, the Issuer entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with JIG LLC pursuant to which, among other things, JIG LLC agreed to exchange 6,172 shares of the Issuer’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 1,493 shares of the Issuer’s Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (collectively, the “Series E Preferred Stock”) owned by it, for an equivalent number of shares of the Issuer’s Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share and Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (collectively, the “Series G Preferred Stock”, and such transaction, the “Exchange Transaction”). The Exchange Transaction was consummated on May 6, 2021.

 

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement, which is incorporated as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment No. 8 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Series G Preferred Stock ranks senior to each of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.00001 (“Common Stock”), Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and any other classes and series of stock of the Issuer now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding, which by their terms expressly provide that they are junior to the Series G Preferred Stock or which do not specify their rank (which includes the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock). Each share of Series G Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock at any time from and after, (i) with respect to the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, the earlier of October 31, 2022 or the occurrence of a Preferred Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) and, (ii) with respect to the Series G-l Convertible Preferred Stock, October 31, 2020. A holder of Series G Preferred Stock is not required to pay any additional consideration in exchange for conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock into the Issuer’s Common Stock.

 

The Series G Convertible Preferred Stock carries monthly dividend rights of (a) cash dividends accruing (i) at an annual rate per share equal to 12% from the date of issuance (plus any accrued dividends with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock unpaid as of the date of the Exchange Transaction) and (ii) 17% after the occurrence of a Preferred Default, and (b) a dividend payable in shares of Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock have all the same terms, preferences and characteristics as the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the right to receive cash dividends), except Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are mandatorily redeemable by the Issuer within thirty (30) days after written demand received from any holder at any time after the earlier of the occurrence of a Preferred Default or September 30, 2022, for a cash payment equal to the Liquidation Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

 

The Series G Preferred Stock shall vote on an “as converted” basis on all matters submitted to the holders of Common Stock for approval.

 

The foregoing description of the Series G Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Designation, which is incorporated as Exhibit 2 to this Amendment No. 8 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

No new funds were provided by JIG LLC to the Issuer in connection with the Exchange 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.

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.
