Item 5.03 — Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective August 23, 2011, Westinghouse Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to amend the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B 4% Convertible Preferred Stock to amend the terms of the outstanding Series B 4% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock were originally established by the filing of the certificate of designation on February 17, 2011 (the “Original Filing”).
The principal changes included in the Certificate of Amendment are to: (i) add a hard floor price of $0.10 per share of common stock as a limitation to any future conversion price adjustment to the Series B Preferred Stock resulting from future sales of common stock (or common stock equivalents) or at the one year anniversary of the original issuance date (February 18, 2012) if the recent trading price (20 day VWAP) is below the then current conversion price; (ii) reclassify the consequence of certain breaches and triggering events such that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would not be entitled to potentially receive cash redemption in such events, but instead would have rights to receive additional shares of common stock (either in the form of increased dividend payments or upon redemption of their Series B Preferred); and (iii) take into account certain adjustment events that have occurred since the Original Filing, including the 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock implemented after the close of business on April 13, 2011.
The purpose for adopting the Certificate of Amendment is to implement revisions that will cause the balance sheet value associated with the Series B Preferred Stock to be treated as stockholders’ equity, rather than as “mezzanine” equity, for accounting purposes.
The foregoing is not a complete summary of the terms of the Certificate of Amendment described in this Item 5.03, and reference is made to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment that is filed herewith as Exhibit 3(i).
