Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Securities Purchase Agreement
On
July 16, 2010, Fibrocell Science, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with certain accredited investors (the Purchasers),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers in the
aggregate: (i) 2,702 shares
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of
$1,000 per share (Series B Preferred), and (ii)
warrants to purchase 4,503,334 shares of Company
common stock (Common Stock) at an exercise price of
$0.8054 per share (the Warrants).
The closing of the Series B Preferred and the Warrants to the Purchasers (the
Transaction) will be consummated as soon as practicable.
The aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchasers for the Series B Preferred and the
Warrants was $2,702,000 (representing $1,000 for each share of
Series B Preferred together with the Warrants). The Company intends to use the proceeds for working capital
purposes.
Viriathus Capital
LLC and John Carris Investments LLC were co-placement agents for the
Transaction, and received, in the aggregate, cash compensation of $216,160 and warrants
to purchase 360,267 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share.
The form
of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Terms of the Series B Preferred
To designate and establish the shares of Series B Preferred, the Companys Board of Directors
(the Board) approved, and on July 16, 2010, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of
State, a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock (the Certificate of Designation).
Dividends; Rank; Liquidation
Holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per
share (as a percentage of the stated value per share) of 6% per annum (subject to increase in
certain circumstances), payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October
15, beginning on January 15, 2011. The dividends are payable in cash, or at the Companys option,
in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to
110% of the cash dividend amount payable on the dividend payment date, or a combination thereof;
provided that the Company may not pay the dividends in shares of Common Stock unless the Company
meets certain conditions described in the Certificate of Designation, including that the resale of
the shares has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)
or is otherwise eligible to be resold pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. If the
Company pays the dividend in shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock will be valued for such
purpose at 80% of the average of the volume weighted average price for the 10 consecutive trading
days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the dividend payment date
The Series B Preferred ranks senior to all shares of Common Stock, and junior to the Companys
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive out of the assets,
whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the stated value of the Common Stock,
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and
owing thereon under the Certificate of Designation, for each share of Series B Preferred before any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any junior securities, and if the assets of
the Company are insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed
to the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be ratably distributed among the holders in
accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable
thereon were paid in full.
Conversion; Conversion Price; Forced Conversion; Optional Redemption
Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to (1) the stated value of the share ($1,000), divided by (2)
$0.60, subject to adjustment as
discussed below (the Conversion Price).
With certain exceptions, if, at any time while the Series B Preferred is outstanding, the
Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or
otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at an effective price per share that is
lower than the then Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price will be reduced to equal the lower
price. The Conversion Price is also subject to proportional adjustment in the event of any stock
split, stock dividend, reclassification or similar event with respect to the Common Stock.
Commencing six months from the date of the Purchase Agreement, if the volume weighted average
price for each of any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 200% of the then effective Conversion
Price and various other equity conditions are satisfied (including that the resale of the shares
underlying the Series B Preferred has been registered under the Securities Act), upon 30 days
notice, the Series B Preferred plus all accrued and unpaid dividends will automatically convert
into shares of Common Stock.
Commencing two years from the date of the Purchase Agreement, upon 30 days notice and provided
various other equity conditions are satisfied (including that the resale of the shares underlying
the Series B Preferred has been registered under the Securities Act), the Company may redeem some
or all of the then outstanding Series B Preferred for cash in an amount equal to the 150% of the
stated value of the Series B Preferred.
Voting
The holders of the Series B Preferred have no voting rights except with respect to specified
matters affecting the rights of the Series B Preferred.
Negative Covenants
As long as any shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding, the Company may not, directly or
indirectly: (a) amend its charter documents in any manner that materially and adversely affects any
rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred; (b) pay cash dividends or distributions on junior
securities of the Company (including the Common Stock); or (c) enter into any transaction with any
affiliate of the Company which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing, unless such
transaction is made on an arms-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the
disinterested directors of the Company.
Triggering Events
In the event of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation and described
below), any holder of Series B Preferred may require the Company to redeem all of its Series B
Preferred, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 130% of the stated value and (b) the
product of (i) the volume weighted average price on the trading day immediately preceding the date
of the Triggering Event and (ii) the stated value divided by the then Conversion Price, plus all
accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other costs, expenses or
amounts due in respect of the Series B Preferred. Triggering Events include, among other things,
bankruptcy related events, change of control transactions (as defined in the Certificate of
Designation), and various types of failures to perform under, and breaches of, the transaction
documents.
The form of Certificate of Designation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
Warrants
The
Warrant is exercisable upon issuance and expires July 19, 2015. The initial
exercise price of the Warrants is $0.8054 per share. With certain exceptions, if, at any time while the Warrants
are outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to
reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase
or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at an effective price per share
that is lower than the then exercise price of the relevant Warrant, then the exercise price of such
Warrant will be reduced to equal the lower price, and the number of shares issuable under the
Warrant be proportionately increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable, after taking
into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price
prior to such adjustment. The Warrants are callable by the Company if
at any time the volume weighted average price of the Companys
Common Stock exceeds 250% of the then exercise price of the Warrants.
The warrants to be
issued to the placement agents for the transaction are similar to the Warrants
being issued to the investors in the offering, provided that the warrant
exercise price is $0.60 per share, and the warrant may be cashlessly exercised
at any time and are not callable by the Company.
The
form of Warrants is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and the form
of Placement Agent Warrants is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into Registration Rights
Agreements with the Purchasers, which requires the Company to register the resale of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock, the shares of Common Stock underlying the
Warrants and, at the Companys options, all shares of Common Stock issuable as dividends on the
Series B Preferred. The Company is required to file the registration statement within the time
periods set forth in the agreement and the registration statement must be declared effective within
90 days of filing date (120 days if the registration statement is fully reviewed by the SEC), or
the Company will be required to pay liquidated damages as set forth in the agreement.
The form of the Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
The above description of the material terms of the Transactions is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the documents attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1, 4.1,
4.2, 10.1, and 10.2, which are
incorporated herein by reference.
In
October 2009, the Company completed on offering of Series A Preferred
Stock and Warrants (the October 2009 Offering), and in March 2010, the
Company completed an offering of Common Stock and warrants (the March 2010
Offering). Each of the foregoing securities were subject to certain anti-dilution provisions,
which provisions require the lowering the conversion price of the
Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the warrants to the purchase price
in the current offering, or $0.60, and require that the number of shares issuable under the
warrants be proportionately increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable, after taking
into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price
prior to such adjustment.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information contained in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference. The Series B
Preferred and the Warrants were sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Each
Purchaser represented that it was an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year
The information contained in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference. The Certificate of
Designation, which authorizes a total of 6,192 shares of Series B Preferred, was filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State on July 16, 2010 and was effective upon filing.
