KANAKARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
SUPPLEMENT DATED APRIL 18, 2000 TO PROSPECTUS DATED MARCH 27, 2000
The prospectus of Kanakaris Communications, Inc. dated March 27, 2000
is hereby supplemented as follows:
On February 4, 2000, we issued 10% Convertible Debentures due February
1, 2001 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, with accompanying
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of our common stock,
$.001 par value per share. The debentures and warrants were issued to three
accredited investors in a private placement transaction not involving a public
offering (the "February Offering"). The shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the principal and interest under the debentures and upon the
exercise of the warrants may be sold from time to time by the investors under
the March 27, 2000 prospectus, as amended by this supplement and from time to
time.
The sale documents for the February Offering provided that if certain
criteria were met relating to the market price of our common stock, then the
investors would be obligated to purchase an additional $1,000,000 of debentures,
accompanied by warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock. Such
criteria were met. However, in lieu of the sale of the additional $1,000,000 of
debentures and accompanying warrants, we negotiated an agreement to sell a
greater amount of debentures and warrants.
Pursuant to such agreement, on April 14, 2000, we issued 10%
Convertible Debentures due May 1, 2001 in the aggregate principal amount of
$3,000,000, with accompanying warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 900,000
shares of our common stock. The debentures and warrants were issued to four
accredited investors, three of whom were the investors in the February Offering,
in a private placement transaction not involving a public offering (the "April
Offering").
The sale documents for the April Offering provide that if certain
criteria are met with regard to the market price of our common stock at the time
that a registration statement covering the securities sold in the April Offering
becomes effective, the investors will be obligated to purchase an additional
$3,000,000 of debentures, accompanied by warrants to purchase up to an
additional 900,000 shares of common stock, within 45 days following the
effective date of such registration statement.
Three of the four investors in the April Offering are included in the
Principal and Selling Security Holders table at pages 26 - 28 of our prospectus
dated March 27, 2000, based upon such investors' beneficial ownership of
securities acquired in the February Offering. Such table has been updated to set
forth beneficial ownership information as of April 14, 2000 and is set forth
below.
PRINCIPAL AND SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The following table sets forth information as of April 14, 2000 with
respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock both before and
immediately following the offering by:
o each person known by us to own beneficially more than five
percent, in the aggregate, of the outstanding shares of our common
stock;
o the selling security holders in the March 27, 2000 prospectus;
o each of our directors and our named executive officers in the
summary compensation table at page 25 of the March 27, 2000
prospectus; and
o all executive officers and directors as group.
<PAGE>
The following calculations of the percentages of outstanding shares are
based on 31,090,775 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 14, 2000
(excluding an aggregate of 9,894,128 shares of common stock issuable into escrow
as security for our performance of certain obligations under the debenture
offering documents for the February Offering and the April Offering).
We determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which generally require inclusion of shares
over which a person has voting or investment power. Share ownership in each case
includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants or
conversion of outstanding shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock or
debentures and interest payable thereon that are convertible within sixty days
of April 14, 2000, as described in the footnotes below. Percentage of ownership
is calculated pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13d-3(d)(i).
The number of shares being offered by Bank Insinger de Beaufort
represents (i) 200% of the shares of common stock issuable to such selling
security holder upon conversion of debentures in the February Offering and as
payment of interest thereunder and (ii) the shares of common stock issuable to
such selling security holder upon exercise of warrants issued to such selling
security holder in the February Offering.
Because the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the debentures and as payment of interest thereon in the February Offering is
dependent in part upon the market price of the common stock prior to a
conversion and is subject to certain conversion limitations described in the
March 27, 2000 prospectus, the actual number of shares of common stock that will
then be issued in respect of such conversions or interest payments and,
consequently, offered for sale under this registration statement, cannot be
determined at this time. We contractually agreed to include in the March 27,
2000 prospectus 2,568,046 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
debentures, payment of interest thereunder and exercise of the warrants issued
to the selling security holders in the February Offering and have disregarded
the conversion limitations for purposes of the table below.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of
common stock offered by the selling security holders.
