Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On December 23, 2019, FTE
Networks, Inc. (“FTE” or the “Company”) entered into a Preferred Stock Repurchase Agreement
(the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Fred Sacramone and Brian McMahon (collectively, the “Sellers”),
pursuant to which the Company repurchased from the Sellers one hundred (100) shares of Series H Preferred Stock, par value $0.01
per share, of the Company (the “Series H Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $100. The Series
H Preferred Stock repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement represented all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Following such repurchase, these shares of Series H Preferred Stock were cancelled and returned
to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Series H Preferred Stock. The Repurchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and covenants of each party.
The foregoing summary of
the Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text
of the Repurchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.01
|
Changes in Control of Registrant.
|
As a result of the Company’s
repurchase and cancellation of all of the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock, we experienced a change in control. Reference
is made to the disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosures are incorporated by reference
into this Item 5.01.
Prior to the cancellation
of the Series H Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Series H Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Nevada effective as of June 29, 2019 (the “Certificate of Designation”), the holders
of the Series H Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, had the right to vote on all shareholder matters equal to fifty-one
percent (51%) of the total number of votes to be cast by all classes or series of capital stock of the Company. Moreover, the Company
was prohibited, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred
Stock, from amending, altering or repealing any provision of the Certificate of Designation. The Series H Preferred Stock was not
entitled to any dividends, liquidation preference, conversion rights or redemption rights, but by virtue of the foregoing voting
provisions, it exercised control over all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders.
Following the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement, the Series H Preferred Stock has been cancelled and the former holders
the Series H Preferred Stock no longer control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders.
As a result of the repurchase
and cancellation of the outstanding Series H Preferred Stock, control over the Company has been restored to the holders of the
Company’s outstanding voting stock, which currently consists of the Company’s Common Stock and the Company’s
Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2008, subject to certain protective voting
provisions with respect to the Company’s outstanding preferred stock, matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders may
be approved by holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and the Company’s Series A Preferred
Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, voting as a single class. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote
per share, while each share of Series A Stock and Series A-1 Stock entitles the holder thereof to the number of votes equal to
the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares are convertible. No other class of voting securities is currently
outstanding.
The Company is not aware
of any arrangements or understandings among members of either the former or new control group and their associates with respect
to election of directors or other matters. There are no arrangements known to the Company, including any pledge by any person of
securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.
Item 5.03
|
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.
|
On
December 23, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary
of State of the State of Nevada to amend its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The Certificate of Designation, which
was effective upon filing, fixes the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of 2,500 shares of the Company’s
Series I Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Series I Preferred Stock has no dividend rights, no liquidation
preference, is not convertible and has no voting rights.
The
foregoing description of the Series I Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
