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

 

On December 22, 2020, the Issuer completed the closing of an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of 63,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of a newly issued series of convertible preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). At the closing of the Offering, GEO purchased an aggregate of 9,360,000 shares of Common Stock at the Offering price of $0.92 per share and 301,852 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock at the Offering price of $21.16 per share. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock was initially convertible into 23 shares of Common Stock at any time at the option of GEO; provided, that the Series D Preferred Stock could not be convertible prior to the date on which the Issuer received approval of its stockholders of an amendment to the Issuer’s Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to a total of 325,000,000 shares (the “Charter Amendment”) and, provided, further that the Series D Preferred Stock carries a limitation on exercise preventing GEO from beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding. On March 5, 2021, the Issuer’s stockholders approved the Charter Amendment. Following the approval of the Charter Amendment, GEO converted its Series D Preferred Stock to Common Stock and now owns a total of 16,302,596 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “GEO Shares”).

 

The working capital of GEO was the source of the funds for the purchase of the GEO Shares. No part of the purchase price of the GEO Shares was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the GEO Shares.

 

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

GEO acquired the GEO Shares for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, GEO and other Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional shares of the Issuer. Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:

 

(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

 

(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

 

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

 

(f) Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

 

(g) Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

 

(h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

 

(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
