On May 15, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issue of Subordinated Notes totaling $650,000 to replace Subordinated Notes in the same amount maturing on June 1, 2014. The new Subordinated Notes are 2-year notes that mature on June 1, 2016. The new Subordinated Notes are repayable by the Company at any time and have an interest rate of 18 percent per annum payable monthly in cash. Investors may request note repayment on or after October 1, 2014. $450,000 and $50,000 of the Subordinated Notes are held by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. $150,000 of the Subordinated Notes are held by outside investors. The Subordinated Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated to amounts outstanding under the Company’s working capital bank line of credit and other outstanding subordinated convertible notes.

 

The Company extended the expiration date of 35,775 warrants issued to the outside investors on May 26, 2009 to June 1, 2016. These warrants were scheduled to expire on May 26, 2014. The warrants are exercisable into common stock at $1.80 per share. The initial issue of the warrants was reported in a Form 8-K filed on May 20, 2009.

 

The Board approved stock option grants of 45,000 and 5,000 shares respectively for the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The stock options will vest monthly over a 24 month period.

 

The foregoing description of the new Subordinated Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Subordinated Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
