EXPLANATORY NOTES

 

This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 9”) is being filed jointly by Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“JIG LLC”) and Richard L. Jackson and amends the statement on the Schedule 13D that was originally 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 24, 2017, April 7, 2017, August 8, 2017, September 22, 2017, September 4, 2018, November 16, 2018, November 13, 2020 and May 17, 2021 (collectively, the “Statement”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.00001, of the Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 9 is being filed to report amendments to 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. All share totals on this Amendment No. 9 reflect both the 1 for 6 reverse stock split effected by the Issuer on June 30, 2021 and the 1 for 10 reverse stock split effected by the Issuer on June 24, 2022.

 

Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby further amended to add the following paragraphs:

 

Conversion of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock into Senior Debt

 

On July 21, 2021, JIG LLC agreed to exchange its outstanding shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Preferred Stock for senior indebtedness by entering into a new 12% Senior Secured Note, in aggregate principal amount of $7,733,000 (the “Note”), which amount represented all of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer held by JIG LLC as of July 21, 2021, under that certain Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), dated as of October 26, 2020, among JIG LLC as purchaser, the Issuer and certain of the Issuer’s subsidiaries. While under the terms of the Certificate of Designation governing the Series G Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Preferred Stock, 102,866 shares and 26,016 shares of common stock (after giving effect to the 1-for-6 reverse stock split, effectuated by the Issuer on June 30, 2021 and the 1-for-10 reverse stock split, effectuated by the Issuer on June 23, 2022) were issuable to JIG LLC upon the conversion of Series G Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Preferred Stock, respectively, the shares of Series G Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were not converted to common stock and instead were converted to debt pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

Under the terms of the Note, the Issuer is required to pay interest on the Note at a per annum rate of 12%, in cash only, accruing from and after the date of the Note and until the entire principal balance of the Note shall have been repaid in full, and on and at all times during which the “Default Rate” (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) applies, to the extent permitted by law, at a per annum rate of 17%. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Note is due and payable in full on September 30, 2022. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), the principal of the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be accelerated and declared or otherwise become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The Note Purchase Agreement also contains restrictions against incurrence of additional debt, payment of dividends or other distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property) on any of the Issuer’s equity interest or repayment of debt, consolidations, mergers, sales of assets or change in control and financial covenants.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Note and the Note Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Note and the Note Purchase Agreement, which are incorporated as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 to this Amendment No. 9, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Third Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement

 

On October 27, 2022, JIG LLC entered into a Third Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Note Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer which amended and restated the Note Purchase Agreement and issued to JIG LLC the Third Amended and Restated Senior Secured 12% Promissory Note, with a remaining outstanding principal balance of approximately $9.0 million (the “Amended Note”).

 

Under the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and Amended Note, the Issuer is required to pay interest on the Amended Note at a per annum rate of 12% and in the event the Issuer has not repaid in cash at least 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Amended Note by October 27, 2023, then interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Amended Note shall continue to accrue at 16% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of the Amended Note until the Amended Note is repaid in full. The Amended Note Purchase Agreement also extends the maturity date of the Amended Note from October 28, 2022 to October 14, 2024.

 

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, until all principal interest and fees due pursuant to the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended Note (or any other senior promissory note delivered by the Issuer to JIG LLC in substitution, replacement or exchange for the Amended Note) (together with the other documents executed in connection with the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, collectively, the “Note Documents”) are paid in full by the Issuer and are no longer outstanding, JIG LLC shall have a first call over 50% of the net proceeds from all common stock equity raises the Issuer conducts, which shall be used to pay down any outstanding obligations due pursuant to the Note Documents. The Amended Note continues to be secured by substantially all of the Issuer and its subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement with JIG LLC, dated September 15, 2017, as amended, and as further amended by the Omnibus Agreement (as defined below) on October 27, 2022.

 

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default for a senior secured loan including, among other events of default, (i) failure to timely pay interest and principal, (ii) other breaches and violation of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, (iii) bankruptcy and insolvency events affecting the Issuer and/or its subsidiaries, and (iv) the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Issuer . In addition to customary remedies for senior secured lenders following an event of default, JIG LLC has the right to cause the Issuer to engage a financial advisor to provide valuation analyses of the Issuer as a going concern and analyses of strategic alternatives that may be available to the Issuer. The Issuer will be obligated to provide all such analyses to JIG LLC.

 

The Amended Note Purchase Agreement also contains restrictions against incurrence of additional debt, payment of dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property) on any of our equity interest or repayment of debt, consolidations, mergers, sales of assets or change in control and financial covenants.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended Note, which are incorporated as Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this Amendment No. 9, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

No new funds were provided by JIG LLC to the Issuer in connection with the Amended Note Purchase Agreement. The source of funds for JIG LLC’s prior investments in the Issuer were reported by JIG LLC in prior Amendments to this Statement.

 

Issuance of New Warrant

 

On October 27, 2022, in connection with the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued to JIG LLC (i) 100,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer (the “JIG Shares”) and (ii) a warrant (the “New Warrant”) to purchase up to 24,332 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.06 per share. The New Warrant is first exercisable on April 27, 2023 and expires on October 27, 2027. The warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications and other events. The foregoing description of the New Warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Warrant, which is incorporated as Exhibit 5 to this Amendment No. 9 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Repricing of Existing Warrant Agreement

 

On October 27, 2022, in connection with the Amended Note Purchase Agreement, JIG LLC entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated April 25, 2018 (as amended prior to Amendment No. 4, the “Existing Warrant”), with the Issuer. Pursuant to the Existing Warrant and after giving effect to the 1-for-6 reverse stock split, effectuated by the Issuer on June 30, 2021 and the 1-for-10 reverse stock split, effectuated by the Issuer on June 23, 2022, JIG LLC is entitled to purchase 15,093 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $60.00 per share. Pursuant to Amendment No. 4, the exercise price of the Existing Warrant was reduced to $3.06 per share and the term extended to January 26, 2028. The foregoing description of Amendment No. 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 4, which is incorporated as Exhibit 6 to this Amendment No. 9 and incorporated herein by reference.
