The common holders get NOTHING. The preferred holders get EVERY penny. All of it. The common is worthless, and this deal does not change that.
Holders of a majority of our Series AA Preferred Stock may require that we redeem all outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock on or after August 19, 2010, and we are unlikely to have sufficient funds to satisfy the resulting obligation.
The terms of our Series AA Preferred Stock have been amended to provide that two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of the Series AA Preferred Stock may require the automatic conversion into common stock of all, but not less than all of the outstanding shares of such preferred stock at a price equal to the stated value of such shares then outstanding.
This series of preferred stock has an aggregate stated value of $26.3 million at March 31, 2007, and due to the effect of the scheduled increases in the stated value of the preferred stock until August 19, 2010, the aggregate stated value of the initial issuance of the preferred stock will exceed $91.1 million. This figure is substantially greater than our current total assets and far exceeds cash, cash equivalents and borrowings currently available to us, and we are unlikely to be able to arrange for financing in sufficient amount to meet this obligation. In the event the requisite holders of shares of our Series AA Preferred Stock exercise their right to require us to redeem the preferred stock, it is likely that we would default on our redemption obligation, which may cause the holders of the Series AA Preferred Stock to force us to liquidate all of our assets or to otherwise engage in a restructuring transaction in which our common shareholders will not participate.
The Company makes it VERY clear. The common stock does not participate in this deal. The common will be wiped out with nothing.
