Background

 

On November 15, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Abtech Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) authorized the Company to offer to all holders of the Company’s debt the right to convert all or a portion of the amount of outstanding debt held by such debt holders into unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a conversion rate of $1.10 per share (the “Conversion Right”), with such Conversion Right expiring on December 6, 2018. In considering the offer of the Conversion Right, among many other considerations, the Board reviewed its own independence as well as management’s in offering the Conversion Right, and determined that the Board and management were disinterested and independent with respect to the transaction.

 

Conversion Notices

 

On November 15, 2018, the Company sent letters to the affected debt holders advising them of the Conversion Right and its term, including a notice for debt holders to return to the Company for debt holders intending to convert their debt (the “Letters”). On December 6 2018, the Company received notices regarding intent to convert debt (the “Conversion Notices”) from Golden Properties Ltd., Tilly LLC, Wendy Kelman-Neu and F. Daniel Gabel. The Conversion Notices provide for the conversion of an aggregate of $12,637,018 of the Company’s outstanding debt and accrued interest, into a total of 11,488,200 shares of unregistered Common Stock. The table below provides the amount of debt converted and the number of shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Notices:
