ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
The Company has entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement effective as of
August 13, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement") with nine (9) persons (the
"Purchasers") pursuant to which each of the Purchasers has agreed to purchase,
and the Company has agreed to sell 940,333 shares of Common Stock at a purchase
price of $7.50 per share (the "August 1999 Private Placement"). The aggregate
consideration payable under the Purchase Agreement is approximately $7.05
million. The shares will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration
under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act").
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of the
shares of Common Stock sold under the Purchase Agreement, and to use its best
efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon
thereafter as possible.
One of the Purchasers in the August 1999 Private Placement is the Company's
CEO, an affiliate of the Company. He was requested by the unaffiliated
Purchasers to invest some of his own money to purchase shares of Common Stock
in the transaction as an inducement to the unaffiliated Purchasers to enter
into the Purchase Agreements. At the time that the purchase price was
negotiated with the unaffiliated Purchasers, the purchase price per share was
the then current market price.
