Each item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding item of Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein with their defined meaning.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The response set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

On March 10, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to an investment agreement, dated March 10, 2017, by and among the Company, FP IV, FP IV-A and Chrysalis Ventures II, L.P. (“Chrysalis” and collectively with FP IV and FP IV-A, the “Investors” and such agreement, the “Series B Investment Agreement”), FP IV purchased 10,991 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) and FP IV-A purchased 5,509 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $16,500,000 (the “Closing”). The purchase price of the Series B Preferred Stock was paid for by funds readily available to Francisco Partners. The source of funds for this consideration was the available capital of Francisco Partners, which may, at any given time, include borrowings under a working capital line of credit with First Republic Bank or capital contributions from investors in the Francisco Partners funds, each in the ordinary course of business.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The response set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Series B Preferred Stock for investment in the ordinary course of business, as they believed that the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented an attractive investment opportunity, subject to the following:

Pursuant to an investor rights agreement (the “Series B Investor Rights Agreement”), dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Company and the Investors, the Company granted Francisco Partners the right to, for so long as the Investors own at least 10% of the aggregate shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock (collectively, the “Securities”) that it held as of the Closing: (i) for so long as it holds at least 5% of the aggregate Securities of the Company (on an as-converted basis), designate a proportionate share of the Board based upon its percentage ownership of the Company’s outstanding Securities on an as-converted basis, rounded up to the nearest whole director, which designees shall be entitled to serve on each committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), subject to applicable legal and Nasdaq requirements, and (ii) if no director designated by Francisco Partners is serving on the Board, designate one Board observer. The Series B Investor Rights Agreement also granted Francisco Partners the right to require the Company to file with the Commission a registration statement to register for resale the Investors’ shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares” and collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that for so long as Francisco Partners owns at least 10% of the aggregate shares of the Securities that it held as of the Closing, it can: (i) for so long as it holds at least 5% of the aggregate Securities of the Company (on an as-converted basis) designate a proportionate share of the Board based upon its percentage ownership of the Company’s outstanding Securities on an as-converted basis, rounded up to the nearest whole director, which designees shall be entitled to serve on each committee of the Board, subject to applicable legal and Nasdaq requirements, and (ii) if no director designated by Francisco Partners is serving on the Board, designate one Board observer. As of the Closing, Francisco Partners held, on an as-converted basis, approximately 56% of the Company’s voting Securities.

Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”), filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on March 10, 2017, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, among other things:

 

    have a stated value of $1,000.00 (the “Stated Value”) and a conversion price of $1.91, subject to certain adjustments;

 

    is initially convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Stated Value, subject to certain adjustments, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon divided by the conversion price then in effect;

 

    is entitled to vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis;

 

    is entitled to dividends at the annual rate of 15% (which will increase in certain circumstances, but in no event will be more than 20.0% annually), payable quarterly in kind; provided that the Company may elect to pay such dividends in cash following the second anniversary of the Closing;

 

    upon any liquidation, will be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with the Series A Preferred Stock, prior to any payments in respect of the Common Stock, an amount equal to the liquidation preference;

 

    is required to approve the following actions by the Company upon the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock: (a) any amendment or alteration of the rights, powers or preferences of the Preferred Stock, (b) any amendment or alteration of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that would adversely affect the Investors’ ability to transfer their securities or convert their Preferred Stock into Common Stock, (c) any authorization or creation of any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon certain liquidation events, senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Preferred Stock, (d) any declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution on any securities ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, (e) the incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money by the Company, other than indebtedness (i) incurred in the ordinary course of business or (ii) procured from secured lenders of the Company holding outstanding indebtedness of the Company as of the date of Closing in an aggregate amount not to exceed the maximum authorized amount of credit available pursuant to the terms of credit agreement with such secured lender as in effect on the date of Closing or (f) entering into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing;

 

    beginning in 2019, may be forced by the Company to convert into shares of Common Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock is at least 175% of the then-applicable conversion price of the Common Stock for 45 consecutive trading days when there was a minimum trading volume of at least 75,000 shares for 40 of such 45 trading days; and

 

    will be redeemable (i) at the option of the Investors after May 2, 2023, (ii) at the option of the Investors in the event of a Fundamental Change (as that term is defined in the Certificate of Designations) of the Company, or (iii) at the option of the Company in the event of a Fundamental Change.

The descriptions of the Series B Investment Agreement, the Series B Investor Rights Agreement and the Series B Certificate of Designations in Item 3 and this Item 4 are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the Series B Investment Agreement, the Series B Investor Rights Agreement and the Series B Certificate of Designations, respectively, each of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
