Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On November 21, 2016, TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Company”) issued 12,222,220 shares of its convertible preferred stock series A, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to the holders of the Company’s 8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (“Senior Notes”) at a conversion price of $0.18 per share in exchange for the cancellation of $2.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock has been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The holders of the Senior Notes have represented that they are either an institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act, that will acquire the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modifications of Rights of Security Holders.

 

On November 18, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) designated a new series of the Company’s preferred stock, the Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Certificate of Designation authorized the Company to issue up to 12,222,225 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The following description of the Certificate of Designation is a summary only, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Dividends. Dividends on Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, semi-annually in arrears at the rate of 8% per annum on the sum of $0.18 as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, or recapitalizations plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon. In addition, if the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on its common stock, the Company shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the common stock, determined on an as-converted basis.

 

Liquidation. Upon (i) liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company with or into another person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), (iii) a sale, lease or  transfer or series of sales, leases or transfers of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iv) a change of control or other direct or indirect transfer of the Company’s securities such that after such transfer a person or group of related persons (other than holders of Senior Notes and their respective affiliates) would own directly or indirectly 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock (collectively, a “Liquidation”), after taking into account the costs of Liquidation and after all payments on any remaining outstanding Senior Notes have been made in full but before any payment is made to the holders of capital stock which ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Junior Stock”) by reason of their ownership of such Junior Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets legally available for distribution an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the sum of $0.18 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transactions) plus any accrued and accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon.

 

Voting. Each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote with holders of outstanding shares of common stock, voting together as a single class, with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration (whether at a meeting of stockholders of the Company, by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting to the extent permitted by the Company’s bylaws, as may be amended and restated from time to time, or otherwise), except as provided by law or by the provisions in the Certificate of Designation.

 

Other Special Voting Rights. In addition, the Company will not be able to take any of the following actions without the consents of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock voting as a single class with one vote per share of Series A Preferred Stock:
