Common Stock

 

As part of the Reincorporation, the total number of authorized shares of common stock was changed to 250,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share. The common stock and additional paid in capital accounts were restated as of December 31, 2012, and for the years then ended, to recognize the change from no par common stock to a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company conducted a consent solicitation of its stockholders of record as of September 3, 2013 (the “Record Date”) to approve certain corporate actions. Stockholders, representing at least a majority of outstanding shares of the Company’s voting capital as of the Record Date voted by written consent to approve an amendment to the Company’s Article of Incorporation in order to increase the number of common stock authorized to 700,000,000 from 250,000,000. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the total number of authorized shares of common stock was 700,000,000.

 

As part of the aforementioned consent solicitation, stockholders, representing at least a majority of outstanding shares of the Company’s voting capital as of the Record Date, also voted by written consent to approve a proposal to effect a reverse split of the Company’s common stock in a ratio to be determined by the Board which would not be less than One for Ten (1:10) and not more than One for One-Hundred (1:100), which was to be effective no later than September 30, 2014, at such ratio and at such time in the sole discretion of the Board and in lieu of issuing any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split, to issue the next whole share (the “Reverse Split”).

 

On April 2, 2014, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to affect the Reverse Split on a one-for-one hundred basis. The Reverse Split was effective with FINRA on April 7, 2014. All common stock share and per share information in this Form 10-K, including the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, have been adjusted to reflect retrospective application of the Reverse Split, unless otherwise indicated. The total number of authorized shares of common stock was not adjusted in conjunction with the Reverse Split.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 6,374,450 and 5,918,704 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. Below are the changes to the Company’s common stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014:

 

  · On January 10, 2014, the Company issued 102,860 shares of the Company’s common stock in a private placement to certain investors at $3.50 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $360,000 and paid related offering costs of $4,884.
  · On January 10, 2014, the Company issued 8,143 shares of common stock as an extinguishment of a $28,500 accounts payable balance for services rendered in relation to the private placement. The shares were valued at the market price of $4.00 per share giving rise to a loss on the extinguishment of accounts payable of $4,072.
  · On January 29, 2014, the Company issued 18,000 shares of common stock to a third party for prepaid investor relations services at $3.50 per share for a six month period beginning in January 2014.
  · On May 1, 2014, the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock to a third party for creative design and development services at $3.21 per share.
  · On June 16, 2014, the Company issued 305,562 shares of common stock to investors in the Company’s November 2013 and January 2014 private placement. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement associated with that offering, for a period of three years after the initial closing of the offering, investors are entitled to additional shares if the Company issues securities pursuant to which shares of common stock may be acquired at a price less than the per share purchase price in that offering or $3.50 per share. The issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in May of 2014, as described below, triggered this issuance of these additional shares.
  · On November 3, 2014, the Company cancelled 9,000 shares of common stock issued to a third party for prepaid services.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 6,000 and 0 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

On May 12, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the designation of a class of preferred stock as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”. On May 14, 2014, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the 0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

 

Each share of the newly designated Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share based on a conversion calculation equal to the Base Amount divided by the conversion price. The Base Amount is defined as the sum of (i) the aggregate stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted and (ii) all unpaid dividends thereon. The stated value of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is $1,000 and the initial conversion price is $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, dividends and recapitalizations. Additionally, in the event the Company issues shares of its common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price that is lower than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be adjusted to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that as a result of such conversion, the investor would beneficially own more than 9.99% in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock possess no voting rights.

 

On May 14, 2014, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 6,000 shares of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share for gross proceeds to us of $6,000,000. Related to the sale, we incurred offering costs of $620,085 resulting in net proceeds of $5,379,915. The closing of the transaction was subject to certain customary closing conditions and closed on May 15, 2014.
