Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
On December 20, 2017, Mitcham Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser has agreed to purchase (the “Private Placement”) 152,290 shares of the Company’s 9.00% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $25.00 per share, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and an additional 21,756 shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the achievement of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.0 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds to fund the previously announced acquisition of certain intellectual property and related assets from the bankruptcy estate of Hydroscience Technology, Inc., and to fund costs associated with establishing a manufacturing and repair operation to perform certain support services for the benefit of the Purchaser. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is being made in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Except upon a change of control of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, any of the Company’s other property or securities. Upon a change of control, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock per share of the Series A Preferred Stock equal to the lesser of (i) the conversion rate specified in the Certificate of Designations establishing the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) 25 shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments.
The Private Placement is expected to close within the next 90 days, subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
