Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On July 31, 2015, Cornerstone Bancshares, Inc. (“Cornerstone”) distributed notice of redemption to all holders of record of Cornerstone’s outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), regarding Cornerstone’s redemption of all 600,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock on August 31, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price of $26.042 per share (the “Redemption Price”). Pursuant to the terms of the Cornerstone Amended and Restated Charter, as amended (the “Charter”), the per share Redemption Price is calculated as the sum of (i) the original issue price per share of $25.00 plus (ii) the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
Under the terms of the Charter, the Company expects to deposit in trust with the American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, for the account of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the moneys necessary for such redemption by the Redemption Date. As a result, as of the Redemption Date, the Series A Preferred Stock, whether or not yet surrendered for cancellation, will deemed to be no longer outstanding for any purpose, and all rights with respect to such shares shall have ceased and will be terminated except for the right of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to receive the Redemption Price per share.
