Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 30, 2011, Document Security Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Mayer Laufer (the “Lender”), in the principal sum of $575,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The proceeds of the Convertible Note were used to pay off that certain Promissory Note previously entered into between Secuprint Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Secuprint”), and Mayer Laufer, on November 24, 2009 (the “Secuprint Promissory Note”). The Secuprint Promissory Note has been paid in full and is terminated.
The Convertible Note matures on December 29, 2013, and carries an interest rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing on March 31, 2012, until the outstanding principal amount is paid in full. If an interest payment is not made within 10 days of the due date, Company shall pay a late charge equal to 2% of the delinquent amount. Company may prepay all or any portion of the Convertible Note balance without prepayment penalty or premium.
At any time during the term of the Convertible Note, at Lender’s option, up to $575,000 of the principal amount of the Convertible Note may be converted, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.02 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a conversion price equal to $2.21 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to the Company receiving NYSE Amex additional listing approval prior to issuance of the underlying Common Stock. If Lender elects to convert the entire principal amount of the Convertible Note to Common Stock, a total of 260,180 shares of Common Stock would be issued to Lender.
The Convertible Note is secured by all of the assets of Secuprint, except for certain leases which serve as collateral for another obligation of Secuprint.
Events of Default under the Convertible Note include: (i) Company’s failure to meet its obligations for payment under the Convertible Note after notice from Lender, and such failure continues for period of 10 days after Company’s receipt of such notice; (ii) Company fails to observe any of the covenants, conditions or agreements contained in the Convertible Note and such failure continues for a period of 30 days following notice of such failures delivered by Lender; (iii) any representation or warranty made by Company, or any material financial or other information furnished to Lender, proves to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or furnished; (iv) a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement of debt, insolvency, readjustment of debt or receivership law or statute filed by or against Company, which is not dismissed within 60 days of such filing, or Company makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (v) Company voluntarily or involuntarily dissolves or is dissolved, terminates or is terminated; or (vi) Company becomes insolvent or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due, and said failure continues for a period of 30 days after written notice of same from the Lender to the Company.
The Lender is neither an affiliate of, nor a related party to, the Company or Secuprint.
