Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Other than as provided herein, and except as contained in the agreements filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D or as has been publicly announced by the Issuer or the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons do not have and, to the best of their knowledge, none of their respective directors or officers have, any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Each Reporting Person intends to continuously review Wipro LLC’s investment in the Issuer, and may in the future determine (i) to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases, private agreements or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by it or (iii) to take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in such clauses.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each Reporting Person specifically reserves the right to change its intentions with respect to any or all of such matters. In reaching any decision as to its course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), each Reporting Person currently expects that it would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the Issuer’s business and prospects; other developments concerning the Issuer and its business generally; other business opportunities available to the Reporting Person; developments with respect to the business of the Reporting Person; changes in law and government regulations; general economic conditions; and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of the Issuer.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer adopted a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation was filed with the State of Delaware on January 29, 2018.

The Certificate of Designation provides that the Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights, except as described below or as otherwise required by law. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer, any merger or consolidation of the Issuer with or into another entity, any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or other Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock that shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), from and after the original issue date of the Preferred Stock at a rate of (i) 5% per each year, or (ii) the rate that cash dividends were paid in respect of the Common Stock (with Preferred Stock being paid on an as-converted basis in such case), for such year if such rate is greater than 5%.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, on or after May 1, 2018 (but only to the extent either (i) 50% of the shares of Preferred Stock originally issued upon the filing of the Certificate of Designation remain outstanding, (ii) there remains outstanding an amount of Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) convertible into at least 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock or (iii) (x) there remains outstanding at least one share of Preferred Stock and (y) a holder of Preferred Stock is the beneficial owner of at least 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock) one member of the Board shall be subject to election and removal by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting as a separate class. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, for so long as Wipro LLC owns


SCHEDULE 13D

CUSIP No. 416196103       Page 6 of 8

 

at least a majority of the Preferred Stock originally purchased by it (or is the beneficial owner of either at least 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock), Wipro LLC will have the right to appoint an observer to the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on or after May 1, 2018, to the extent the holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to elect a member of the Board pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, that right shall be exercised solely by Wipro LLC (but only for so long as Wipro LLC is the beneficial owner of either at least 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock or a majority of the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On or after May 1, 2018, in the event the holders of the Preferred Stock are not permitted to elect an individual to serve on the Board pursuant to the Certificate of Designation (but only for so long as Wipro LLC is the beneficial owner of at least 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding), Wipro LLC may nominate one individual to serve on the Board in lieu of the observer to the Board (and may appoint an observer to the Board at any time or from time to time when its designee is not serving on the Board under the Purchase Agreement or the Certificate of Designation). The Certificate of Designation provides that for so long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the vote or consent of a majority of the Preferred Stock is required to approve certain matters specified in the Certificate of Designation.

The Purchase Agreement provides for preemptive rights for Wipro LLC, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, which grants Wipro LLC the right to participate in any future issuances of new securities of the Issuer for so long as Wipro LLC owns at least a majority of the Preferred Stock purchased by Wipro LLC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Wipro LLC may participate in such issuances at a level based on the Wipro LLC’s ownership percentage of the Issuer on a fully-diluted basis prior to such issuance.

In connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer and Wipro LLC have entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, within 30 days following the receipt of a demand notice of Wipro LLC on or after January 30, 2019, a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). Subject to limited exceptions, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable, but in any event within 120 days, after Wipro LLC requests that the Issuer prepare and file the Registration Statement, but in no event shall the Registration Statement become effective earlier than January 30, 2019. In addition, if the Issuer proposes to register any of its Common Stock, either for the Issuer’s own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, the Issuer shall, at such time, promptly give Wipro LLC notice of such intent, and Wipro LLC shall have the option, subject to certain limitations, to include all of its Registrable Securities in such registration.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the Registration Rights Agreement and does not purport to be complete. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Certificate of Designation, the Purchase Agreement and the form of Registration Rights Agreement incorporated by reference herein as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively.
