In January and February of 2017, the Company received advances aggregating $3.3 million from Mr. Diamantis. The advances, along with $0.5 million of previously accrued but unpaid interest, were due on demand, bearing interest at 10% per annum. The Company used the advances to pay the purchase price for the Hospital Assets and for general corporate purposes. On March 7, 2017, the Company issued a promissory note to Mr. Diamantis in the amount of $3.8 million (the “2017 Diamantis Note”) in connection with these advances received in 2017, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $0.5 million.

On March 21, 2017, the Company issued $10.85 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Convertible Debentures due March 21, 2019 (the “Convertible Debentures”) and three series of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 19,608,435 shares of the Company’s common stock to several accredited investors. The Company received net proceeds from this transaction in the approximate amount of $8.4 million. The Company used $3.8 million of the net proceeds to repay the 2017 Diamantis Note and $0.75 million of the net proceeds to make a partial repayment on the TCA Debenture. The remainder of the net proceeds is being used for general corporate purposes. In conjunction with the issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the holder of the February Debentures exchanged these debentures for $2.5 million of new debentures (the “Exchange Debentures” and, collectively with the Convertible Debentures, the “Debentures”) on the same terms as, and pari passu with, the Convertible Debentures and warrants. Additionally, the holders of an aggregate of $2.2 million stated value of the Company’s Series H Preferred Stock exchanged such preferred stock into $2.7 million principal amount of Exchange Debentures and warrants. All of the Debentures contain a 24% original issue discount.

 

The Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.66 per share, subject to adjustment as more fully described in the Debentures. The Debentures will begin to amortize monthly commencing on the 90th day following the closing date, except for the Exchange Debentures related to the Series H Preferred Stock, which began to amortize monthly on the closing date. On each monthly amortization date, the Company may elect to repay 5% of the original principal amount of Debentures in cash or, in lieu thereof, the conversion price of such Debentures will thereafter be 85% of the volume weighted average price at the time of conversion. In the event the Company does not elect to pay such amortization amounts in cash, each investor, in their sole discretion, may increase the conversion amount subject to the alternative conversion price by up to four times the amortization amount. The Debentures contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The conversion price is subject to reset in the event of offerings or other issuances of common stock, or rights to purchase common stock, at a price below the then conversion price, as well as other customary anti-dilution protections as more fully described in the Debentures. The Debentures are secured by all of the Company’s assets and are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Between March 22, 2017 and March 27, 2017, holders of the Exchange Debentures converted an aggregate of $0.3 million of such Exchange Debentures into 215,171 shares of common stock.

 

The Series A Warrants are immediately exercisable for up to a number of shares of our common stock equal to 100% of the shares underlying the Debentures and have a term of five years. The Series B Warrants are immediately exercisable for up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of the shares underlying the Debentures for a period of 18 months. The Series C Warrants are exercisable for up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of the shares underlying the Debentures and have a term of five years, however these Warrants only become exercisable if, when and to the extent that the holders exercise the Series B Warrants. The Series A and Series C Warrants each have an exercise price of $1.95 per share and the Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $1.66. All of the warrants are subject to reset in the event of offerings or other issuances of common stock, or rights to purchase common stock, at a price below the then exercise price, as well as other customary anti-dilution protections.

 

The Company is required to file a registration statement registering for resale the shares underlying the Debentures and warrants on or before April 7, 2017, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 45 days of filing, or within 75 days if the registration statement is reviewed. Additionally, the Company is required to seek shareholder approval to issue in excess of 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

In February 2017, the Company made a payment to TCA in the amount of $0.4 million. In conjunction with the issuance of the Convertible Debentures on March 21, 2017, the Company entered into a letter agreement with TCA, which (i) waives any payment defaults through March 21, 2017; (ii) provides for the $0.75 million payment discussed above; (iii) sets forth a revised repayment schedule whereby the remaining principal plus interest aggregating to approximately $2.6 million is repaid in various monthly installments from April of 2017 through September of 2017; and (iv) provides for payment of an additional service fee in the amount of $150,000. In addition, TCA entered into an intercreditor agreement with the purchasers of the Convertible Debentures which sets forth rights, preferences and priorities with respect to the security interests in the Company’s assets.
