Common stock:
 
During the years ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010 there were no new issues of common or preferred stock.
 
On April 14, 2011, pursuant to a Written Consent in Lieu of a Meeting of Shareholders, Sileas Corporation, holder of approximately 73.3% of the Company’s Common Stock, approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of its Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 2,000,000,000. This Written Consent is the subject of a Schedule 14C Information Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2011, which is currently pending.
  
On April 14, 2011 Optex filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 which provides for the sale of up to 25,000,000 shares of our common stock at a fixed price (currently anticipated to be $0.01 per share), which will trigger the ratchet provision of the Series A preferred stock and reduce the conversion price to $.01 per share. The S-1 also contemplates a reduction in the warrant exercise price to $0.01 per share for the 2009 private placement investors and a waiver of accrued dividends from the Series A preferred shareholders. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 is currently in the review process with the Commission
 
Series A preferred stock
Optex Systems Holdings has filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware authorizing a series of preferred stock, under its articles of incorporation, known as “Series A preferred stock”. The Certificate of Designation sets forth the following terms for the Series A preferred stock: (i) number of authorized shares: 1,027; (ii) per share stated value: $6,000; (iii) liquidation preference per share: stated value; (iv) conversion price: $0.15 per share as adjusted from time to time; and (v) voting rights: votes along with the common stock on an as converted basis with one vote per share.
 
The Series A preferred stock entitles the holders to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 6% per annum, payable in cash at the discretion of Board of Directors. Each share of preferred stock is immediately convertible into common shares at the option of the holder which entitles the holder to receive the equivalent number of common shares equal to the stated value of the preferred shares divided by the conversion price, which was initially set at $0.15 per share.
 
Holders of preferred shares receive preferential rights in the event of liquidation. Additionally the preferred stock shareholders are entitled to vote together with the common stock on an ”as-converted” basis.
 
As of July 3, 2011, the preferred shareholders agreed to waive the past dividends in arrears through July 3, 2011 of $884 thousand in exchange for an increase in the stated value to $6,830.64.  According to the agreement, future dividends related to the preferred shares were also to be waived pending approval of the S1- filing .  As of the year ended October 2, 2011 Optex Systems Holdings has recorded $106 thousand of dividends payable on Series A preferred shares pending approval of the S1 filing.
