Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is filed by Command Center, Inc. (noted as Hirequest, Inc. in metadata) for the reporting period of March 30, 2006. The filing discloses the commencement of a private placement of equity securities and a material modification to the rights of security holders.
Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure
The filing details a capital raise rather than operational financial performance. Key metrics include:
- Offering Size: Up to 40,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
- Offering Price: $100 per share.
- Total Potential Proceeds: Up to $4,000,000.
- Initial Subscription: 1,250 shares purchased for $125,000 on April 1, 2006.
- Dividend Rate: Cumulative annual dividend of $5.00 per share.
- Liquidation Preference: $100 per share plus accumulated unpaid dividends.
The filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, operating margins, existing debt, or general liquidity positions.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to create a new class of 40,000 Series A Preferred Stock shares. This issuance grants the new shares preference over Common Stock regarding dividend payments and liquidation proceeds. Additionally, the new shares carry voting rights and specific conversion features not previously existing in this form.
