Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws

 

On January 18, 2012, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) when it adopted the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”). The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation authorized the issuance of 1,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) valued at $10,000 per share.

 

The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of up to 1,000,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), such that each one share of Series E Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory conversion at such time as the Company has a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to fully convert all of the outstanding Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock will be converted automatically, without further action by the holders, at such time.

 

Series E Preferred Stockholders can vote with the shares of Common Stock on an as converted basis and have liquidation rights that are pari passu with all of the Company’s other preferred stock. The Series E Preferred Stock has no preemptive rights and cannot be amended without 75% of the Series E Preferred Stockholders approval.
