Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On August 2, 2013 the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K in which the Company’s acquisition of WorkflowOne, LLC and related financing arrangements were reported in detail, including the Company’s issuance of certain stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to certain of WorkflowOne’s former second lien holders.  The Warrants provide for the purchase of a total of 2,645,952 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $.00001 per share.  The information related to the Warrants contained in Items 1.01 and 3.02 of the Form 8-K filed August 2, 2013 is hereby incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.

On October 25, 2013 the seven holders of the Warrants notified the Company of their intention to fully exercise the Warrants, and on October 29, 2013 the Company instructed its transfer agent to issue a total of 2,645,945 shares of its common stock to the exercising Warrant holders.  The issuance of such shares of common stock was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of such Act based on the fact that all of the purchasers are sophisticated investors and represented themselves to be “accredited investors” within the meaning of applicable regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and that the shares were acquired for investment purposes. The Company has not engaged in a general solicitation or advertising with regard to the issuance and sale of either the Warrants or the shares and has not offered either for sale to the public.
