Item 5. Other Event
On March 19, 2004, Electric City Corp. (Electric City, or the Company) entered into a securities purchase agreement with a group of four mutual funds managed by Security Benefit Group, Inc. (Security Benefit), whereby the Company issued to such purchasers, in exchange for $11,000,000 in gross proceeds, a package of securities that included 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase 1,750,000 additional shares of common stock at $2.42 per share (the Common Stock Warrants). The exercise price under the Common Stock Warrants is subject to adjustment if the Company issues shares of common stock at a price below the lower of the exercise price or the market price at the time.
Also on March 19, 2004, the Company entered into a Redemption and Exchange Agreement with the holders of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the Existing Preferred Stock) under which the Company agreed to redeem 538,462 shares of Existing Preferred Stock at a price of $13 per share (the Redemption) and to exchange shares of its newly authorized Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series E Preferred) for all remaining outstanding shares of Existing Preferred Stock (the Exchange) on a 1 for 10 basis (one share of Series E Preferred exchanged for 10 shares of Existing Preferred Stock). The Company used $7 million of the proceeds from the issuance of securities to Security Benefit to accomplish the Redemption, which closed on March 22, 2004.
Under the Redemption and Exchange transaction, the Company redeemed 538,462 shares of its outstanding Existing Preferred Stock which were convertible into 5,384,620 shares of common stock, at a price equivalent to $1.30 per common share, and exchanged 210,451 shares of the new Series E Preferred) for the remaining 2,104,509 outstanding shares of the Existing Preferred Stock. All of the Existing Preferred Stock has been cancelled. The Series E Preferred has substantially the same rights as the shares of Existing Preferred Stock that it replaced, including:
| special approval rights in respect of certain actions by the Company, including any issuance of shares of capital stock by the Company that would have the right to receive dividends or the right to participate in any distribution upon liquidation which was senior to or equal to the rights of the Series E Preferred (other than issuances to pay dividends on the preferred and under certain other limited exceptions such as conversion of outstanding convertible securities) and any acquisition, sale, merger, joint venture, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; | |||
| a conversion price of $1.00 per share ; | |||
| the right to elect up to four directors; | |||
| the right to vote with the holders of common stock on an as converted basis on all matters on which holders of our common stock are entitled to vote, except with respect to the election of directors or as otherwise provided by law; | |||
| a right of first offer on the sale of equity by the Company in a private transaction; and | |||
| anti-dilution protection that would adjust the conversion price in the event we issue equity at a price which is less than the conversion price . |
The Exchange was effected on a 1 for 10 basis: whereas each share of the Existing Preferred Stock was convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock and had a liquidation preference of $20 per share, each share of the Series E Preferred is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock and has a liquidation preference of $200 per share. As part of the Exchange, all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were exchanged for similar
warrants to purchase shares of Series E Preferred. Such Series E warrants issued are exercisable for an aggregate of 3,750 shares of Series E Preferred at a price of $100 per share. They replaced warrants exercisable for 37,500 shares of Series D Preferred at an exercise price of $10 per share.
In addition the Existing Preferred Stock carried a dividend rate of 10% payable at the Companys election in cash or in additional shares of preferred stock during the first three years following issuance. After the third anniversary of issuance we were required to pay all dividends in cash and the dividend rate increased by 1/2% every six months until it reached 15%, where it would remain until the shares were converted or redeemed. The Series E Preferred carries a 6% dividend that is payable at the Companys election in cash or additional shares of Series E Preferred for as long as the shares remain outstanding.

The dilutive effect of the payment-in-kind dividend on the preferred stock will be reduced significantly as a result of the Redemption because of the lower dividend rate on the Series E Preferred stock. Based on the terms and number of shares of the Existing Preferred the Company outstanding prior to the Redemption and Exchange, if the Company continued to pay preferred dividends by issuing additional preferred shares, the Company would have issued shares of preferred stock convertible into 10,306,790 shares of common stock over the next three years, whereas it only expects to issue shares of Series E preferred convertible into 4,473,919 shares of common stock over the same period, a reduction of 5,832,871 shares or 56.6%.
As part of the Redemption and Exchange, the preferred stockholders agreed to amend and restate their existing stock trading agreements, effectively replacing them with a new three year
agreement containing volume and price limitations which become effective on September 8, 2004 after the original expiration date of September 7, 2004. The Investor Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement among the Company, the preferred stockholders and certain other parties were also amended and restated as part of the Redemption and Exchange, principally to reflect the changes in the outstanding preferred stock resulting from the transactions.
The Company has agreed to file a registration statement to register the shares of common stock issued to the Security Benefit purchasers and the shares issuable under their Common Stock Warrants within 45 days of the closing and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 120 days of the closing.
Morgan Kegan & Company, Inc. acted as placement agent for the Company with respect to the transaction and was paid a placement agent fee of $660,000.
The financing was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act.
