On December 23, 2014, a total of 250,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock have been designated for issuance under the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series C Certificate of Designation). The shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock have a stated value of $100 per share with an initial conversion price of $0.70 per common share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Series C Certificate of Designation). The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the option of the purchaser, be converted at any time or from time to time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion (Holder Redemption Request); provided, that a holder of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may at any given time convert only up to that number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock so that, upon conversion, the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Companys common stock as calculated, (pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act) of such purchaser and all persons affiliated with such purchaser, is not more than 9.99% of the Companys common stock then outstanding.

However, as long as any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not take certain actions, as defined, without the prior written consent of at least 60% of the then outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. At any time following the second anniversary following the issuance of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, at the option of the holder, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the option of the holder for an amount equal to the stated value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends plus 1% per month, compounded monthly from the closing date.

On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement) with certain investors (the Purchasers) for an aggregate of $6,000,000 (the Aggregate Subscription Amount). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the following to the Purchasers: (i) 60,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 8,571,429 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001; and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,571,429 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the Series C Warrants). In addition, 250 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 35,714 shares of common stock, with a value of $25,000, were issued as compensation to purchasers for legal fees.
The release of the Aggregate Subscription Amount to the Company is subject to the Company meeting certain milestones. On December 23, 2014, all the initial closing conditions were met so the Company received $2,000,000 of the Aggregate Subscription Amount and the remaining $4,000,000 was deposited into an escrow account. If the first set of milestones is achieved on or before March 31, 2015, the Company will receive $2,000,000 from the escrow proceeds. The remaining $2,000,000 will be released from escrow based on whether or not the second set of milestones is achieved on or before June 30, 2015.

The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock isnt mandatorily redeemable, because the instrument doesnt embody an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument at a specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to occur. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is contingently redeemable anytime following the second anniversary of its issuance. Accordingly, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is be classified as permanent equity. Because the embedded conversion option is clearly and closely related to the equity host, even though it has adjustment provisions that causes it not to be indexed to the Companys own stock, it is not bifurcated and is not accounted for as a derivative liability. The Series C Warrants contain an exercise price reset provision and, accordingly, the Series C Warrants are not considered to be indexed to the Companys own stock and are, therefore, deemed to be derivative liabilities. See Note 12 Fair Value Measurement Derivative Liabilities for details associated with the value and classification of the Series C Warrants.
As a result of the above, the aggregate issuance date fair value of the warrants totaled $529,904 and the net carrying value of the preferred stock is $5,470,096 (the $6,000,000 subscription amount, less the $529,904 preferred stock discount, or 9% and 91% of the $6,000,000 subscription amount, respectively). The aggregate of $530,000 of issuance costs were allocated amongst the instruments and (a) 91% or $483,192 was allocated to the preferred stock and was debited to additional paid in capital; and (b) 9% or $46,808 was allocated to the derivative liabilities and was recognized immediately. The aggregate preferred stock discount of $1,013,096 (Series C Warrants of $529,904 plus allocated issuance costs of $483,192) will not be amortized until/if redemption becomes probable. In addition, the Company recorded a $4,000,000 charge to additional paid-in capital for the portion of subscription proceeds held in escrow which had not been released as of December 31, 2014.
