Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 4, 2005, AssuranceAmerica Corporation (the Company) amended that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 11, 2005, among the Company, Heritage Assurance Partners, L.P. (Heritage) and certain other investors (the Stock Purchase Agreement) to increase the aggregate number of shares of the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock) that may be purchased and sold thereunder from 700,000 to 800,000. The amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On May 4, 2005, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Heritage for a total investment of $1.25 million. The total number of shares purchased by Heritage pursuant to this investment represents approximately 4.01% of the Companys outstanding capital stock on an as-converted-to-common stock basis.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into the number of shares of common stock that results from dividing the per share Conversion Value by the per share Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The number of shares of common stock into which a share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible is referred to as the Conversion Rate. The per share Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock initially in effect is $0.50 and the per share Conversion Value of Series A Preferred Stock initially in effect is $5.00. The initial Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock combinations and certain issuances of capital stock for consideration per share less than the then-current Conversion Price.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Companys common stock. In addition, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock on the second anniversary of the date on which such share was issued. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will also automatically convert into common stock immediately prior to the closing of any public offering of any of the Companys equity securities with aggregate proceeds to the Company, at the public offering price, of at least $20 million, before underwriting commissions and expenses, and at a per share price of at least three times the then-current Conversion Price.
The Companys offer and sale of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the private placement described above, including shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (collectively, the Securities), was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the exemptions therefrom provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each investor in this private placement represented and warranted to the Company that such investor was an accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. The private placement was conducted without general solicitation or advertising. All certificates issued representing the Securities will be legended to indicate that they are restricted. No sale of the Securities involved the use of underwriters, and no commissions were paid in connection with the issuance or sale of the Securities.
