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 currently sets forth the following terms for the Series A preferred stock: (i) number of authorized shares: 1,027; (ii) per share stated value: $6,860; (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 (vi) par value $0.001 per share. The conversion price was subsequently reset to $0.01 per share as discussed below.

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. The dividends were subsequently waived and the price per share was reset to $0.01 on February 21, 2012 as discussed below. On November 17, 2014 an exercise price per share ratchet was triggered by the issuance of convertible notes with a lower conversion price and the exercise price was reset to $0.0025 per common 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 April 1, 2012, the preferred shareholders agreed to waive the past dividends in arrears through June 29, 2014 of $884 thousand in exchange for an increase in the stated value to $6,860. On February 21, 2012, in connection with the purchase of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Optex Systems Holdings by Alpha Capital, the preferred shareholders executed an irrevocable waiver for any and all previously accrued and outstanding dividends and the right to receive any future dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. The per share conversion price of the Optex Systems Holdings’ Series A Preferred Stock was automatically reset to $0.01 per share in accordance with the reset provision as set forth in paragraph 4(d)(ii) of the Series Designation for the Optex Systems Holdings’ Series A Preferred Stock. The total amount of dividends waived as a result of the February 21, 2012 waiver is $213 thousand. As of the three months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, there were no preferred dividends payable. As of September 28, 2014 and June 28, 2015 as a result of the executed waiver dated February 21, 2012, there were no dividends in arrears on preferred shares and no future dividends will accrue on the preferred shares.

On March 19, 2013, Alpha Capital Anstalt converted 7.29 shares of Series A preferred stock at a stated value of $6,860 into 5,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for a total converted value of $50,000. On February 11, 2014 and March 24, 2014, Alpha Capital Anstalt converted 7.29 shares of Series A preferred stock at a stated value of $6,860 into 8,333 shares of its Common Stock for a converted value of $50,000 each transaction, respectively. As a result of the conversions, Optex Systems Holdings had 1,001 of preferred shares outstanding as of June 28, 2015 and 1,001 of preferred shares outstanding as of September 28, 2014 respectively.

As of April 3, 2015, a majority in interest of the holders of the Series A preferred stock has waived the right to convert its Series A preferred stock into Company common shares until such a time as a reverse stock split of the Company’s stock is effected in sufficient ratio to accommodate full conversion of both Series A and Series B preferred stock from authorized and unissued shares. Based on the price reset from $0.01 to $0.0025 per common share, there are 75.5 shares of preferred stock with a beneficial conversion feature, “in the money”, which are subject to immediate conversion at the discretion of the holder. In the three and nine months ending June 28, 2015, Optex Systems Holdings has recognized a $1.5 million adjustment to retained earnings for dividends for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature for the 75.5 preferred shares issued and not covered by the conversion waiver. The remaining 926 outstanding Series A preferred shares will become convertible to common shares based on a future event. Based on the market price of the common stock of $0.0066 as of June 26, 2015, these preferred shares are subject to an additional $10.4 million retained earnings adjustment for dividends on the earliest potential conversion date as they become convertible.

As these shares are subject to the potential for further adjustments to the conversion ratio based on future occurrences, any new conversion price reset may trigger recognition of an additional beneficial conversion feature on occurrence.

Series B Preferred Stock

On March 26, 2015, Optex Systems Holdings 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 B preferred stock”. The Certificate of Designation currently sets forth the following terms for the Series B preferred stock: (i) number of authorized shares: 1,010; (ii) per share stated value: $1,629 (iii) liquidation preference per share, other than Series A preferred stock: stated value; (iv) conversion price: $0.0025 per share as adjusted from time to time; (v) voting rights: votes along with the common stock on an as converted basis with one vote per share; and (vi) par value of $0.001 per share.

On June 28, 2015, the holders of the Company’s $1,560,000 principal amount of convertible promissory notes, issued on or about November 17, 2014, converted the entire principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.

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 is initially set at $0.0025 per share. On May 27, 2015 a private investor converted $10 thousand, or 6 shares of the Series B preferred stock at a stated value of $1,629 per share, for 4,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 28, 2015, there were 994 shares of Series B preferred shares outstanding.

At the time of issuance, the market value of the common stock was $0.01. As the conversion rate of $0.0025 was below the market price, the issued preferred series B stock contained a beneficial conversion feature. As the series B preferred stock is immediately convertible with no stated maturity date, Optex Systems Holdings recognized a retained earnings and additional paid in capital adjustment for the intrinsic value, “in the money portion”, of the conversion options at inception. For the three and nine months ending June 28, 2015 Optex Systems Holdings recognized a retained earnings dividends and additional paid in capital adjustment of $4.9 million, which represented the intrinsic value of the options at the commitment date.

As these shares are subject to the potential for further adjustments to the conversion ratio based on future occurrences, any new conversion price reset may trigger recognition of an additional beneficial conversion feature on occurrence.
