Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Sale of Shares to ASC Recap LLC
On September 5, 2013, Competitive Technologies, Inc. (the Company) agreed to issue approximately 1,618,235 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment (the ASC Shares) to ASC Recap LLC (ASC), in connection with the settlement of up to $2,123,605 in accounts payable of the Company (the Claim Amount), plus attorney fees and costs. In order to resolve the full Claim Amount, the Company would be required to issue additional shares to ASC from time to time. The issuance is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as an issuance of securities in exchange for bona fide outstanding claims, where the terms and conditions of such issuance are approved by a court after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions.
The ASC Shares were issued pursuant to an Order Approving Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the Order) between the Company and ASC entered by the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut, Judicial District of Fairfield on August 22, 2013, in settlement of accounts payable of the Company purchased by ASC from creditors of the Company in the aggregate amount equal to the Claim Amount, plus fees and costs. Pursuant to the agreed Order, ASC is entitled to 200,000 shares, plus that number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the Claim Amount and reasonable attorney fees divided by seventy-five percent (75%) of the volume weighted average price as reported by Bloomberg over a period of time beginning on the date on which ASC receives the ASC Shares and ending on the date on which the aggregate trading volume of the Companys common stock is equal to three times the purchase price of the shares. At no time may ASC and its affiliates collectively own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
