Accordingly, the definitive proxy statement to be filed at a later date will include additional information related to the topics herein and additional information not required by Part III, Items 10 through 14 of Form 10-K. In addition, because the Company was a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and is transitioning into large accelerated filer status, certain disclosures contained in this Amendment conform to the smaller reporting company requirements.

In addition, as required by Rule 12b–15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

Except as stated herein, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K with the SEC on March 1, 2021 and no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the Original Form 10–K.

In addition, if Golden Harbor notifies the Company that it beneficially owns an aggregate of at least 20% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and wishes to designate an additional member of the Board, then: (i) the Board shall increase the number of seats on the Board to equal seven, and (ii) (A) if the Board is then comprised of 6 members, the Board shall fill the newly created vacancy by appointing the additional designee selected by Golden Harbor; and (B) if the Board is then comprised of 5 members, the Board shall (1) fill one newly created vacancy by appointing the additional designee selected by Golden Harbor; and (2) fill the remaining vacancy by appointing an independent director candidate selected by the Board. If, at any time, either Investor ceases to hold at least 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, such Investor shall no longer be entitled to designate any members of the Board.

On August 6, 2018, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Board appointed James B. Avery and Brian Miller to fill the two vacant seats on the Board. Mr. Avery is a Vice President of Golden Harbor. Mr. Miller, who is a principle of North Sound Trading, L.P., resigned from the Board effective March 1, 2021.

Warrant Transaction

On March 28, 2019, the Investors agreed to exercise the warrants issued by the Company to the Investors on August 6, 2018 (the “Existing Warrants”). Upon exercise of the Existing Warrants, Golden Harbor purchased 3,166,275 shares of Common Stock, and North Sound purchased 1,055,425 shares of Common Stock, each at an exercise price of $2.52 per share, for aggregate cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $10.6 million. In connection with the Investors exercising the Existing Warrants, on March 28, 2019, the Company issued to Golden Harbor a new warrant to purchase 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock and issued to North Sound a new warrant to purchase 625,000 shares of Common Stock (each a “New Warrant” and, collectively, the “New Warrants”). Each of the Investors held more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the exercise of the Existing Warrants and issuance of the New Warrants.

Each New Warrant has an exercise price of $7.00 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, will be exercisable at any time on or after September 28, 2019, and will expire on June 30, 2022. Each New Warrant will be exercisable on a cash basis unless, at the time of such exercise, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants cannot be immediately resold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended without volume or manner of sale restrictions, in which case such New Warrant shall also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis.

Except as expressly set forth therein, the New Warrants do not confer upon their holders any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

2019 Private Placement

On August 9, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Golden Harbor and North Sound in a private placement transaction (the “2019 Private Placement”), an aggregate of 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series E Fixed-Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company out of assets legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 9.00% payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2019. If dividends are not declared and paid in any quarter, or if such dividends are declared but holders of the Series E Preferred Stock elect not to receive them in cash, the quarterly dividend will be deemed to accrue and will be added to the Series E Base Amount. The Series E Preferred Stock has no voting rights unless otherwise required by law. The Series E Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. However, the Company may, at its option, redeem shares of the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, on or after July 1, 2022, at a price equal to 110% of the Series E Base Amount plus (without duplication) any accrued and unpaid dividends. The “Series E Base Amount” means $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared by the Board, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors and subject to the rights of holders of any senior securities, but before any distribution of assets is made to holders of common stock or any other junior securities, the Series E Base Amount plus (without duplication) any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Convertible Notes

On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into waiver agreements with the holders of substantially all of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), including Golden Harbor, North Sound and an individual retirement account held by Mr. Lytle’s mother, over which Mr. Lytle has investment discretion (the “Lytle IRA”), pursuant to which each of the holders agreed to waive their optional right to require the Company to repurchase the 2022 Notes on June 15, 2020 (the “Optional Repurchase Date”) at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Optional Repurchase Date.

On May 12, 2020, the Company entered into separate privately-negotiated exchange agreements (each, an “Exchange Agreement”) with each of Golden Harbor, North Sound and the Lytle IRA with respect to the 2022 Notes, pursuant which they agreed to exchange the 2022 Notes that they held for a combination of cash and the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in concurrent private placement transactions (the “Private Exchange Transactions”), as follows:

The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the Investors in connection with the Private Exchange Transactions.

In connection with the Private Exchange Transactions, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC in order to effect the registration for resale by the Investors of the 2025 Notes and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 2025 Notes held by the Investors.

During fiscal 2019, the Company made interest payments to Golden Harbor, North Sound and the Lytle IRA in the amounts of $753,500, $1,011,065 and $8,230, respectively, pursuant to the 2022 Notes. During fiscal 2020, the Company made interest payments to Golden Harbor, North Sound and the Lytle IRA in the amounts of $373,124, $847,432, and $5,721 respectively, pursuant to the 2025 Notes.

Credit Agreement

On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to that certain Credit Agreement, dated August 23, 2017, as the same has been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as agent, and certain lenders party thereto to, among other things, amend certain financial covenants set forth therein and to permit the use of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock to make certain payments, including interest payments, due thereunder. South Ocean Funding, LLC (“South Ocean”), an affiliate of Golden Harbor, held all of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

During fiscal 2019, all interest owing to South Ocean under the Credit Agreement was accrued. On March 31, 2020, the Company issued 2,330 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to South Ocean in satisfaction of $2,330,000 in deferred interest obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

On May 7, 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities and South Ocean. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, South Ocean, among other things, consented to the issuance by the Company of up to $218,750,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes so long as a portion of the proceeds were used to prepay the Credit Agreement in full and substantially concurrently with the receipt of cash proceeds in respect of the issuance of the 2025 Notes (the date of such prepayment, the “Prepayment Date”). The Company also agreed to (i) pay, on the Prepayment Date, the prepayment and exit fees due under the Credit Agreement in cash, rather than making payment of such fees in shares of Series E Preferred Stock, and (ii) redeem, in cash, on the Prepayment Date, the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock previously issued to South Ocean in satisfaction of certain deferred interest obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. On May 12, 2020, in accordance with the Letter Agreement, the Company paid South Ocean $2,354,408 to redeem 2,330 shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

On May 12, 2020, the Company repaid in full and terminated the Credit Agreement. The amounts paid included $47,500,000 in outstanding principal, approximately $500,000 in interest accrued thereon, a prepayment fee of $760,000 and an exit fee of $570,000. In accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement, the prepayment and exit fees were paid in cash to South Ocean.

Consulting Agreements

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a written Consulting Agreement (the “Pons Consulting Agreement”) with Robert Pons, a former member of the Board. The consulting services to be provided by Mr. Pons include advisory services in connection with the Company’s business strategy and such other services as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer may request from time to time. The Pons Consulting Agreement is for a term of 30 months and provides for the following compensation: (1) cash retainer of $17,250 on the date of each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors through June 30, 2021, up to a maximum of 7 meetings, subject to continuous service under the Pons Consulting Agreement through the date of each such meeting; (2) on the first date in 2020 that the Company’s Board of Directors grants annual equity awards to all non-employee members of the Board of Directors, restricted stock units with a value equal to $85,000 (based on the closing price of the Company’s stock as of the prior trading day), vesting on the date one year following the date of grant; and (3) on the first date in 2021 that the Company’s Board of Directors grants annual equity awards to all non-employee members of the Board of Directors, restricted stock units with a value equal to $35,417 (based on the closing price of the Company’s stock as of the prior trading day), vesting on June 30, 2021.
