Material Changes
On February 3, 2009, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to create Series A 10% Non-Voting Cumulative Preferred Stock. Key terms include:
- Dividends: Cumulative at an annual rate of 10% of the original issue price, payable in arrears.
- Payment Method: Dividends are payable in cash or, at the Company's option if certain conditions are met, in shares of Common Stock.
- First Payment Date: The earlier of September 30, 2010, or the last day of the calendar quarter when the Company is no longer contractually prohibited from paying dividends.
- Subsequent Payments: Quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter until redemption.
- Redemption: The Company may redeem the stock at any time after the second anniversary of issuance in cash or, at its option, in Common Stock if conditions are met.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no management guidance, financial outlook, or discussion of general business risks. The primary contingency noted is the Company's contractual prohibition on paying dividends, which delays the first dividend payment until such prohibition is lifted or September 30, 2010, whichever is earlier.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of Series A Preferred Shares issued and the aggregate original issue price to calculate potential dividend obligations.
- Review the "Certificate of Designations" (Exhibit 3.1) for the specific conditions allowing dividend payment in Common Stock instead of cash.
- Confirm the specific contractual prohibitions currently preventing dividend payments.
- Check subsequent filings to determine if the first dividend payment occurred by September 30, 2010.
