As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on February 2, 2017, Lighting Science Group Corporation (the “ Company ”) entered into a Series J Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement (the “ Subscription Agreement ”) with LSGC Holdings III LLC (“ Holdings III ”) on January 27, 2017.

 

On April 24, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Series J Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement (the “ Subscription Agreement Amendment ” and, the Subscription Agreement, as amended by the Subscription Agreement Amendment, the “ Amended Subscription Agreement ”). The Subscription Agreement Amendment increased the number of Series J securities (the “ Series J Securities ”) the Company may issue pursuant to the Subscription Agreement to approved purchasers between January 27, 2017 and December 31, 2017 from an aggregate of 15,000 Series J Securities to an aggregate of 25,000 Series J Securities.

 

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 24, 2017, pursuant to the Amended Subscription Agreement, the Company issued and sold 4,400 Series J Securities to Holdings III for aggregate proceeds of $4,400,000 (the “ April 2017 Offering ”). Each Series J Security consists of (x) one share of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Series J Preferred Stock ”), and (y) a warrant to purchase 2,650 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (each, a “ Series J Warrant ”). The Series J Warrant issued to Holdings III as part of the Series J Securities contains substantially identical terms as the warrants previously issued to PCA LSG Holdings, LLC on January 3, 2014 and filed as Exhibit 4.5 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 8, 2014. The proceeds from the April 2017 Offering will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes and to repay its outstanding obligations pursuant to its Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 25, 2014 (as amended) with ACF Finco I LP, as assignee of FCC, LLC, d/b/a First Capital (the “ Ares Loan Agreement ”).

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and as previously reported, the Company (i) issued 3,000 units of Series J Securities to Holdings III for $1,000 per Series J Security, or aggregate consideration of $3,000,000 on January 27, 2017 and (ii) issued 7,000 Series J Securities to Holdings III for $1,000 per Series J Security, or aggregate consideration of $7,000,000 on February 3, 2017. As of April 24, 2017, an aggregate of 14,400 Series J Securities have been issued under the Amended Subscription Agreement (including the 4,400 Series J Securities issued in the April 2017 Offering), and the Company may issue up to an additional 10,600 Series J Securities to approved purchasers between January 27, 2017 and December 31, 2017 under the Amended Subscription Agreement. The Company intends to issue and sell additional Series J Securities in connection with the closing of its pending joint venture with MLS Co., Ltd. as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2017.

Each share of Series J Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the election of the holder thereof, into the number of shares of Common Stock (the “ Optional Conversion Shares ”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) $1,000 by (b) the $0.95 conversion price of the Series J Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series J Preferred Stock (as amended from time to time, the “ Series J Certificate of Designation ”).
