Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
|
As previously reported on March 9, 2010, Genta Incorporated (the “Company”) issued various senior unsecured and secured convertible promissory notes to certain accredited investors in a private placement. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Convertible Promissory Notes D due March 9, 2013 (the “March 2010 D Notes”) and the Amendment and Consent Agreement entered into by the Company with certain investors on December 14, 2010, if the Volume Weighted Closing Price for the ten consecutive trading day period ending on December 30, 2010, (the “December 10-day VWCP”) is less than $0.10 (as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like), the conversion price for the March 2010 D Notes shall be reduced to a price equal to 10% of the December 10-day VWCP.
On December 30, 2010, the December 10-day VWCP was less than $0.10 (as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like). Therefore, in accordance with the Amendment and Consent Agreement entered into by the Company with certain investors on December 14, 2010, on January 1, 2011, the conversion price for the March 2010 D Notes was reduced to 10% of the December 10-day VWCP, or $0.0032.
The terms of the Company’s other convertible notes, including its Senior Convertible Promissory Notes B due March 9, 2013, (the “March 2010 B Notes”), the Senior Convertible Promissory Notes C due March 9, 2013, (the “March 2010 C Notes”), the Senior Convertible Promissory Notes E due March 9, 2013, (the “March 2010 E Notes”), the Senior Convertible Promissory Notes F due March 9, 2013, (the “March 2010 F Notes”), the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due June 9, 2011, as amended (the “June 2008 Notes”), the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due April 2, 2012, as amended (the “April 2009 Notes”), the Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes due July 7, 2011, as amended, (the “July 2009 Notes”), the Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes due September 4, 2011, as amended, (the “September 2009 Notes,” and together with the March 2010 B Notes, the March 2010 C Notes, the March 2010 E Notes, the March 2010 F Notes, the June 2008 Notes, the April 2009 Notes, the July 2009 Notes, the “Other Notes”), contain provisions that provide that the conversion price of the Other Notes shall be reduced to the extent the Company subsequently issues securities at an effective price below the applicable conversion price of the Other Notes or amends the conversion price of its outstanding notes to a price that is below the applicable conversion price of the Other Notes. Since the conversion price of the March 2010 D Notes will be less than the current conversion price for the Other Notes on January 1, 2011 following the conversion price reduction, the conversion price for the Other Notes will reset upon the adjustment of the conversion price of the March 2010 D Notes. Therefore, on January 1, 2011, the current conversion price of the Other Notes will also be $0.0032.
