ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

On March 15, 2010, Jove Corporation cancelled its outstanding Contingent Notes in the principal amount of $910,361.98 and all unpaid accrued interest in the amount of $229,154.20, in exchange for newly issued shares of Common Stock. As part of the transaction LYRE waived its right to acquire these shares. The following shares were issued and the principal amount of debt which was cancelled is as follows:

 

 

Stephen Lange Ranzini, 2,406,666 shares, $300,478.39;

 

Mildred Lange Ranzini, 261,181 shares, $ 32,609.08;

 

Mildred Ranzini Trust, 1,682,520 shares, $210,066.95;

 

Clare Family Trust, 2,941,130 shares, $367,207.56;

 

On March 15, 2010, Jove Corporation restructured its outstanding debts by issuing newly issues shares of Common Stock in exchange for forgiveness of 12% Secured Notes. A total of 1,236,038 shares of Common Stock were issued to Stephen Lange Ranzini in exchange for the forgiveness of $62,487.18 in debt, which represented accrued but unpaid interest on the Secured Notes. As part of the transaction LYRE waived its right to acquire these shares.

 

As a result of the above transactions and previous transactions in the Common Stock of the Company, the following members of the group now own a total of xxx shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Shares”), as follows:

 

 

Stephen Lange Ranzini, 3,642,705 shares

 

Clare Family Trust 2,941,130 shares

 

Lyre, LLC, 2,601,885 shares

 

Mildred Ranzini Trust 1,682,520 shares

 

Mildred Lange Ranzini 261,181 shares

 

Clifton S. Crockatt, 150,000 shares

 

Dennis Agresta, 12,575 shares

 

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

The board of directors of Jove Corporation, whose members are Clifton S. Crockatt and Stephen Lange Ranzini undertook the restructuring to reduce the debt of the Corporation to more manageable levels. In addition, the Secured Note holders, had threatened to call their Secured Note immediately due, which they were entitled to do, if the Corporation did not provide them with additional security. As a result of the restructuring, the net worth of the Corporation on a pro forma basis was increased to $13,352.34 from negative $278,289.04. The former Contingent Note holders and Stephen Lange Ranzini acquired the newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Corporation for investment. As a result of their increased ownership of the outstanding shares of the Corporation they will have additional power in the future to change or influence the control of the Corporation. Stephen Lange Ranzini now controls shared voting power over a total of 72.45% of the Corporations outstanding shares of Common Stock and has the sole power over 55.11% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation and therefore has the sole power to elect a majority of the directors of the Corporation.

ITEM 6.

CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS

WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

Pursuant to LYRE’s Operating Agreement, the members of LYRE and the affiliates of those members have agreed not to acquire shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock or other capital securities without first offering LYRE a right of first refusal to purchase those shares of the Corporation on the same terms and conditions as the members have agreed to purchase those shares. The right of first refusal must be exercised by LYRE within ten days of receiving notice with a closing to occur promptly thereafter.

 

Pursuant to LYRE’s Operating Agreement, the members of LYRE have agreed to vote all of the Shares held by LYRE in favor of director nominees designated by CCG, on the one hand, and the members of LYRE other than CCG (the “SR Group”), on the other hand. Under this agreement, CCG and the SR Group will have the right, as between those groups, to designate an equal number of director nominees of the Corporation. As a result of this agreement, Clifton S. Crockatt currently serves as CCG’s nominee to the Corporation’s Board of Directors and Stephen Lange Ranzini currently serves as the SR Group’s nominee to the Corporation’s Board of Directors. This agreement, however, is not binding upon the Corporation or its Board of Directors and LYRE will be able to designate persons to serve on the Corporation’s Board of Directors only for so long as LYRE’s designees to the board are able to exert influence over the nomination process.
