Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with two unaffiliated institutional shareholders (the “Exchange Agreement”) whereby the Company (i) issued $4.4 million of promissory notes to the two institutional shareholders, which were retired in March 2021, and (ii) exchanged 4,908,333 shares of the Company’s common stock previously acquired by the two institutional shareholders for an equal number of shares of newly designated Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Stock”).

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company filed (i) a certificate of designation with respect to the rights and preferences of the Series B Stock, and (ii) a certificate of elimination to return all shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock, of which no shares were issued or outstanding at the time of filing, to the status of authorized and unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock.

The holders of Series B Stock (the “Series B Holders”) are entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company's common stock into which the shares of Series B Stock are convertible, together with the holders of the Company's common stock as a single class, on most matters. However, the affirmative vote or consent of the Series B Holders voting separately as a class is required for certain acts taken by the Company, including the amendment or repeal of certain charter provisions, liquidation or winding up of the Company, creation of stock senior to the Series B Stock, and/or other acts defined in the certificate of designation.
The Series B Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to the Company’s common stock. The Company shall not declare, pay, or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company unless the Series B Holders shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Stock in an amount calculated pursuant to the certificate of designation.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series B Holders shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Company's common stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share of Series B Stock equal to $3.00, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, with any remaining assets distributed pro-rata among the Series B Holders and the holders of the Company's common stock, based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to shares of the Company's common stock.

At any time on or prior to the six-year anniversary of the issuance date of the Series B Stock, (i) the Series B Holders have the option to convert their shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share, without the payment of additional consideration, and (ii) the Company has the option to convert all, but not less than all, shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 if the daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock (the “VWAP”) exceeds $4.00 per share for at least twenty consecutive trading days prior to the date on which the Company gives notice of such conversion to the Series B Holders.

On the day following the six-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series B convertible preferred stock, all outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock as follows:

If the sixty-day VWAP is less than or equal to $0.50 per share, the Company shall have the option to (i) convert all shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, and pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to the difference between the sixty-day VWAP and $3.00 per share, or (ii) pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to $3.00 per share.
If the sixty-day VWAP is greater than $0.50 per share, the Company shall have the option to (i) convert all shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the quotient of $3.00 per share divided by the sixty-day VWAP, or (ii) pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to $3.00 per share, or (iii) convert all shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the sixty-day VWAP and pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to the difference between $3.00 per share and the sixty-day VWAP.

The Company shall at all times when the Series B Stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series B Stock.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In March 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Hadron Healthcare Master Fund (“Hadron”) with respect to a financing facility of up to $46.0 million (the “Hadron Facility”) in exchange for newly-designated Series C convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Series C Stock”) and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Hadron Transaction”).

At the closing of the Hadron Transaction in March 2021, Hadron purchased $23.0 million of Units at a price of $3.70 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one share of Series C Stock and a four-year warrant to purchase two and one-half shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued to Hadron 6,216,216 shares of Series C Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,540,540 shares of its common stock. Each share of Series C Stock is convertible, at Hadron’s option, into five shares of the Company's common stock, and each warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $1.087 per share. The warrants are subject to early termination if certain milestones are achieved and the market value of the Company’s common stock reaches certain predetermined levels. The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date was $9.5 million, which amount was recorded in Additional paid-in capital. The Company incurred costs of $0.4 million related to the issuance of these securities, which was recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in March 2021.
In connection with the closing of the Hadron Transaction, the Company filed a certificate of designation with respect to the rights and preferences of the Series C Stock. Such stock is zero coupon, non-voting, and has a liquidation preference equal to its original issuance price plus declared but unpaid dividends. Holders of Series C Stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis.

Of the $23.0 million of proceeds received by the Company in March 2021, $7.3 million was used to fund construction and upgrades to certain of the Company’s owned and managed facilities, and $15.7 million was used to pay down debt and related interest (see Note 11).

No further funding has occurred under the Hadron Facility and, on August 4, 2022, the Company and Hadron entered into a Second Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, inter alia, (a) Hadron’s obligation to provide any further funding to the Company and the Company’s obligation to sell any further securities to Hadron was terminated, (b) Hadron’s right to appoint a designee to the Company’s board of directors was eliminated, and (c) certain covenants restricting the Company’s incurrence of new indebtedness were eliminated.
