Material Changes
- Amendment to Series A Preferred Stock: On September 2, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction with the Nevada Secretary of State. This corrected the definition of "Indebtedness" in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
- Indebtedness Carve-Out: The correction clarifies that indebtedness incurred to fund the purchase price for acquiring patent portfolios and other intellectual property is excluded from the definition of "Indebtedness." This aligns with prior Board approval and agreements with Series A Preferred holders from the May 1, 2014 private placement.
- Regulation FD Disclosure: On September 3, 2014, the Company issued a new investor presentation (Exhibit 99.1).
