Item 5.03.          Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On March 9, 2017, InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) designating 1,172,000 shares of the Company’s authorized preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

 

Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to the beneficial ownership limitations as provided in the Certificate of Designation), at an initial conversion price equal to $1.60 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation, at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited from converting Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to the Company.

 

Preferred Stock, to the extent that it has not been converted previously, is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection upon the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities at an effective common stock purchase price of less than the conversion price then in effect, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation.

 

In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock if such shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to such event (without giving effect for such purposes to the 4.99% or 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, as applicable) subject to the preferential rights of holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Preferred Stock as to distributions of assets upon such event, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

 

Shares of Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by the board of directors. However, holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis, and without giving effect for such purposes to the 4.99% or 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, as applicable) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when such dividends are specifically declared by the board of directors of the Company. The Company is not obligated to redeem or repurchase any shares of Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock are not otherwise entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provision.

 

The holders of the Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as required by law. Any amendment to the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Certificate of Designation that adversely affects the powers, preferences and rights of the Preferred Stock requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

The foregoing description of the terms and provisions of the Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million from the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.
