Item 2.03
|
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
|
On October 11, 2011, CNS Response, Inc. (the “Company”), with the consent of holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding (the “Majority Holders”) of its outstanding subordinated unsecured convertible notes (the “Subordinated Notes”) amended all of the Subordinated Notes to extend the maturity of such notes until October 1, 2012. The amendment, which is effective as of September 30, 2011, also added a mandatory conversion provision to the terms of the Subordinated Notes. Under that provision, the Subordinated Notes would be automatically converted upon the closing of a public offering by the Company of shares of its common stock and/or other securities with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10 million (the “Qualified Offering”). If the public offering price is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price will be adjusted to match the public offering price (the “Qualified Offering Price”). Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Subordinated Notes would receive a second position security interest in the assets of the Company (including its intellectual property). The Majority Holders of the Subordinated Notes also consented to the terms of a new $2 million bridge financing (the “Bridge Financing”) and to granting the investors in such financing a second position security interest in the assets of the Company (including its intellectual property) that is pari passu with the second position security interest received by the holders of the Subordinated Notes.
On October 12, 2011, the Company, with the consent of the Majority Holders of its senior secured convertible notes (the “Senior Notes”), amended all of the Senior Notes to extend the maturity of such notes until October 1, 2012. The amendment, which is effective as of September 30, 2011, also added the same mandatory conversion and conversion price adjustment provisions to the terms of the Senior Notes as were added to the terms of the Subordinated Notes. The Majority Holders of the Senior Notes also consented to the terms of the Bridge Financing and to granting the investors in such financing as well as the holders of the Company’s Subordinated Notes a second position security interest in the assets of the Company (including its intellectual property). The guaranties that had been issued in 2010 to certain Senior Note investors by SAIL Venture Partners, L.P. were extended accordingly.
Pursuant to the agreements amending the Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes (the “Amendment and Conversion Agreements”), the exercise price of the warrants that were issued in connection with the Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes (the “Outstanding Warrants”) will be adjusted to match the Qualified Offering Price, if such price is lower than the exercise price then in effect. The Company agreed to issue to each holder of the Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes, as consideration for the above, warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 30% of the number of shares of common stock to be received by each holder upon conversion of their notes at the closing of the Qualified Offering (the “Consideration Warrants”). The Consideration Warrants would be issued after the Qualified Offering and would have the same terms as the Outstanding Warrants, as amended.
The Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2011, between the Company and Paul Buck, as administrative agent for the secured parties (the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”), which replaces the existing security agreement from 2010, and the corresponding security interest terminate (1) with respect to the Senior Notes, if and when holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued have converted their notes into shares of common stock and, (2) with respect to the Subordinated Notes and notes to be issued in the Bridge Financing (the “Bridge Notes”), if and when holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes and Bridge Notes (on a combined basis) have converted their notes.
On October 12, 2011, the Company received a $250,000 loan from its director John Pappajohn. The Company anticipates that the terms of this loan will be identical to the terms of the Bridge Financing.
