Section 1 Registrants Business and Operations
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 8, 2006, Lithium Technology Corporation (the Company) entered into an amendment of a debenture originally issued on March 11, 2005, in the original principal amount of $2,500,000, to provide that the $2,000,000 remaining principal and accrued interest payable on the debenture may be converted into shares of Company common stock at such times as shares of the Company common stock are available for conversion of such debenture. The amendment further provides that until such time as Company common stock is available for conversion, the debenture may be converted into shares of the Companys Series C Preferred Stock which are convertible into shares of Company common stock. On December 8, 2006, the holders of the debenture converted $2,344,800 of principal and interest into 73,275 shares of the Companys Series C Preferred Stock. See Item 3.02 below for a description of the Companys Series C Preferred Stock.
Section 3 Securities and Trading Markets
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On December 8, 2006, the Company closed on the sale of its securities in a private placement. The Company sold 20,060 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for an aggregate of $3,009,000. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,500 shares of Company common stock. At a purchase price of $150 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, the effective purchase price for each underlying share of Company common stock is $0.06 per share. The Company did not pay any commissions to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock.
Issuance of the securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The shares were sold to accredited investors in a private placement without the use of any form of general solicitation or advertising. The underlying securities are restricted securities subject to applicable limitations on resale.
As previously reported in the Companys Form 8-K dated November 28, 2006 and as set forth in Exhibit A to the Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.66, each share of the Companys Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into 2,500 shares of Company common stock at any time following the authorization and reservation of a sufficient number of shares of Company common stock by all requisite action, including action by the Companys Board of Directors and by Company stockholders, to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Company common stock. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into 2,500 shares of Company common stock 90 days following the authorization and reservation of a sufficient number of shares of Company common stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Company common stock.
2
The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock. On all matters as to which shares of common stock or shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or consent, each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes (rounded up to the nearest whole number) that the common stock into which it is convertible would have if such Series C Preferred Stock had been so converted into common stock as of the record date established for determining holders entitled to vote, or if no such record date is established, as of the time of any vote on such matters. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes that 2,500 shares of common stock would have.
In addition to the voting rights provided above, as long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be required in order for the Company to:
(i) | amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock or any other provision of Company Charter or Bylaws, in any way that adversely affects any of the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the Series C Preferred Stock; |
(ii) | issue any shares of capital stock ranking prior or superior to, or on parity with, the Series C Preferred Stock; or |
(iii) | subdivide or otherwise change shares of Series C Preferred Stock into a different number of shares whether in a merger, consolidation, combination, recapitalization, reorganization or otherwise. |
The Series C Preferred Stock ranks on a parity with the common stock as to any dividends, distributions or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, in an amount per share equal to the amount per share that the shares of common stock into which such Series C Preferred Stock are convertible would have been entitled to receive if such Series C Preferred Stock had been so converted into common stock prior to such distribution.
