Investors may request note repayment on or after October 1, 2014. $450,000 and $50,000 of the Subordinated Notes are held by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. $150,000 of the Subordinated Notes are held by outside investors. The Subordinated Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated to amounts outstanding under the Company’s working capital bank line of credit and other outstanding subordinated convertible notes.
The Company extended the expiration date of 35,775 warrants issued to the outside investors on May 26, 2009 to June 1, 2016. These warrants were scheduled to expire on May 26, 2014.
