Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us may contain so-called “forward-looking statements,” all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

       

Share Exchange Agreement

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Digital Power Corporation, a California corporation (the “ Company ”) on May 3, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) on April 28, 2017, with Microphase Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ MPC ”); Microphase Holding Company LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Connecticut (“ MHC ”), Ergul Family Limited Partnership, a partnership organized under the laws of Connecticut (“ EFLP ”) RCKJ Trust, a trust organized under the laws of New Jersey (“ RCKJ ” and with MHC and EFLP, the “ Significant Stockholders ”) and those additional persons who executed the Agreement under the heading “Minority Stockholders” (collectively, the “ Minority Stockholders ” and with the Significant Stockholders, the “ Stockholders .”).  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Company acquired 1,603,434 shares (the “ Subject Shares ”) of the issued and outstanding common stock of MPC (the “ MPC Common Stock ”), including such shares underlying the issued and outstanding preferred stock of MPC (the “ MPC Preferred Stock ” and with the MPC Common Stock, the “ MPC Shares ”) from the Stockholders in exchange (the “ Exchange ”) for the issuance by the Company of: (i) an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of common stock, no par value (the “ DPW Common Stock ”), of the Company, comprised of 1,842,448 shares of DPW Common Stock and 378,776 shares of DPW Series D Preferred Stock (collectively, the “ Exchange Shares ”), which shares of DPW Series D Preferred Stock are, subject to shareholder approval, convertible into an aggregate of 757,552 shares of DPW Common Stock as further described below and (ii)  warrants (the “ Exchange Warrants ”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of DPW Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”). The Exchange Shares and the Exchange Warrants are at times collectively referred to herein as the “ Exchange Securities .” At the closing of the Agreement (the “ Closing ”), the Subject Shares at that time constituted approximately 56.4% of the issued and outstanding MPC Shares, or 50.7% on a fully diluted basis.

 

At the Closing, pursuant to the Agreement, the Stockholders delivered a promissory note on behalf of MPC in the principal face amount of $220,000 to the Company (the “ MPC Note ”).

Common Stock Purchase Warrant  

At the Closing, pursuant to the Agreement, the Company executed and delivered to the Stockholders the Exchange Warrants, which is substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 4 . 1 , to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 Warrant Shares.
