Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On December 9, 2020, Tristan Peitz resigned as Director of the Company. The resignation was for personal reasons.

 

On December 30, 2020, the Company issued to its Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman, General Counsel, Vice President of Operations, and Senior Clinical Advisor, an aggregate of 7,650 shares of the Company’s Series E-1 Incentive Preferred Stock (the “Series E-1 Preferred Shares”), pursuant to five separate Issuance Agreements. The shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock vest between six months and two years from the date of issuance. Terms of the Series E-1 Preferred Shares are described in Item 5.3 below.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

The Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of up to 8,500 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock on December 3, 2020 pursuant to a Certificate of Designation. The Series E-1 Preferred Shares are incentive-based vesting and forfeitable securities that provide the holders the right in the aggregate to receive an “earnout” equal to 20% of the total considerable received by the Company in the instance of a sale or sub-license of its core licensed radiopharmaceutical technology, or sale or merger of the Company, which is paid on a priority, senior basis. In addition, the holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Shares can convert their preferred stock at anytime or after an event leading to the earnout into an aggregate of 8.5 million common shares. The holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock have the right to vote along with the common stockholders based on the common conversion amount of their holdings, and have the right to nominate two members of the Board of Directors. Additional rights and protections with respect to approval of a sale of the Company or its assets, increasing the Board size, issuance of more senior securities and other typical preferred stock protections also are provided in the Certificate of Designation.

 

On December 29, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of up to 2,500 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”) pursuant to a Certificate of Designation. The Series B Preferred Shares are expected to be issued to accredited investors in connection with a private placement of up to $2.5 million. The Series B Preferred Shares provide the holders a 10% annual PIK dividend, a liquidation preference equal to the par value of the shares ($1,000 per share) followed by the right to participate with the common stockholders in the instance of a liquidation or other exit event, and provide the holders the right to vote along with the common holders based on the common conversion amount of their holdings. The Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock at a price of $0.16 per share, subject to anti-dilution protections in the case of certain issuances of securities below that conversion price. The Series B Preferred Shares are not redeemable.

 

The above represents a summary of the Series B Preferred Shares and the Series E-1 Preferred Shares and Issuance Agreement, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full documents filed as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 10.1, respectively, to this Report on Form 8-K.
