The Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and Warrants are sold in units ("Units") for $1,000 per Unit, subject to adjustment if a participating broker dealer reduces commissions, with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock with an initial stated value of $1,000 per share, and (ii) one Warrant to purchase 20 shares of common stock, exercisable by the holder at an exercise price that is set at a 20% premium to the current market price per share of the Company’s common stock determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the issuance of such Warrant, subject to a minimum exercise price of $19.50 per share (subject to adjustment).
The Registration Statement is being clarified to state the Company’s offering of Units is designed to potentially provide investors with preservation of capital, steady income, and growth.
