The Note is expected to provide that the full amount of the Note may be converted at EarlyBird's election on the Maturity Date or any date on which the Maker elects to voluntarily prepay any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Maker's common stock, at a per share conversion price equal to 90% of the trailing five trading day volume weighted average price of a share of the Maker's common stock. The Note is also expected to contain a provision precluding conversion to the extent such conversion would result in an issuance exceeding the maximum number of shares of the Maker's common stock permitted by Section 312.03 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual to be issued without a vote of the Maker's stockholders.
The Note is expected to provide for mandatory prepayments from time to time after the date of the Note's issuance, in amounts equal to 15% of the gross proceeds received by the Maker from any equity lines, forward purchase agreements or other equity financings consummated by Maker prior to the Maturity Date. The Note is also expected to provide for penalty-free prepayments in whole or in part, at the election of the Maker.
The form of Note provides that the Maturity Date may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary Events of Default (as defined therein). Upon the occurrence an Event of Default, the Note would bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum from, and including, the Maturity Date (or such earlier date if the obligation to repay the Note is accelerated) to, but excluding, the date of repayment.
A copy of the form of Note is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
