(f) Mr. Funston is a citizen of the United States.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On September 5, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), Capital Preservation Holdings entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with David Edell (“Edell”) and Ira Berman (“Berman”), pursuant to which Edell and Berman sold to Capital Preservation Holdings an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock and 967,702 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.087 million, which was paid from the private funds of Capital Preservation Holdings.

CUSIP No. 124867102       Page 6 of 10 Pages

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The purpose of the transactions was to provide financing to the Company (see Item 6 which is incorporated herein). As a result of the transactions, the Reporting Persons have engaged in and intend to continue to engage in discussions with management and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) concerning the business, operations and future plans of the Company.

Holders of Common Stock and holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of stock held, and the voting and other rights of each class are equivalent, except that the holders of the Class A Common Stock have the right to elect four directors to the Board and the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect three directors to the Board. As a result of Capital Preservation Holdings’ purchase of the Class A Common Stock and Common Stock from Edell and Berman and the Company’s issuance of the Warrant to Capital Preservation Solutions, Capital Preservation Holdings, Capital Preservation Solutions and Mr. Funston may be deemed to control the Company as a result of the ability to elect four of seven directors to the Board and their beneficial ownership of 33.02% (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Act) of the Company’s voting securities as of September 5, 2014 (the foregoing beneficial ownership percentage includes the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant acquired by Capital Preservation Solutions).

On the Closing Date, Edell (a director elected by the holders of the Class A Common Stock (a “Class A Common Stock Director”)) and Drew Edell (a director elected by the holders of the Common Stock (a “Common Stock Director”)) resigned from their positions as directors on the Board. On the Closing Date in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Board appointed (i) Richard Kornhauser (“Mr. Kornhauser”) as a Class A Common Stock Director, (ii) Stephen A. Heit (“Mr. Heit”) as a Common Stock Director, and (iii) Josephine Belli as a Common Stock Director, each to serve as a director on the Board until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and until his/her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his/her earlier death, resignation or retirement. On the Closing Date, the Board also appointed Ms. Belli to the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board, effective immediately. In addition, Mr. Kornhauser and Mr. Heit have a minority interest in Capital Preservation Holdings.

The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Company’s financial condition and prospects and their interest in, and intentions with respect to, the Company and their investment in the securities of the Company, and may propose various strategic transactions or changes to the Company’s strategic plan, including, but not limited to, possible transactions involving the Company and one or more affiliates of the Reporting Persons. There are no current plans or proposals relating to any such transactions or changes. Except as disclosed above, none of the Reporting Persons have any other plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons will continuously evaluate the Company’s business and prospects and all other factors deemed relevant in determining whether the Reporting Persons or their affiliates will acquire additional Shares or whether the Reporting Persons will dispose of any Shares, in each case in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Company or with third parties) or otherwise. As part of their ongoing evaluation of this investment, the Reporting Persons may at any time consider such matters and, subject to applicable federal and state laws, formulate a plan with respect to such matters.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)

(i) Capital Preservation Holdings owns 1,167,702 Shares representing 16.7% of all of the outstanding Shares of the Company.

(ii) Capital Preservation Solutions beneficially owns 1,681,604 shares of Common Stock representing 19.4% of all of the outstanding Shares of the Company calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Act.

(iii) Mr. Funston, as the managing member of Capital Preservation Holdings and the sole member of Capital Preservation Solutions, may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,849,306 Shares held by them, representing 32.8% of all of the outstanding Shares of the Company calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Act. Mr. Funston disclaims beneficial ownership of those Shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

(iv) Mr. Funston individually owns 19,958 shares of Common Stock representing 0.2% of all of the outstanding Shares of the Company.

The percentages set forth in this response are based on the 7,006,684 Shares outstanding as of July 15, 2014, as reported by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2014.

(b)

Mr. Funston may be deemed to share with Capital Preservation Holdings and Capital Preservation Solutions the power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition of 1,167,702 Shares owned by Capital Preservation Holdings and 1,681,604 shares of Common Stock owned by Capital Preservation Solutions reported herein. Mr. Funston, individually, has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 19,958 shares of Common Stock reported herein as individually owned by him.

(c) Except for the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Warrant, to the knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, no other transactions in the Shares were effected by the Reporting Persons or any of the entities or persons named in Item 2 hereto during the 60 days prior to the date of this Schedule 13D.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Capital Preservation Solutions. The Loan Agreement provides for the Loans. The proceeds of the Loans are to be used for general working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, all outstanding amounts of the Loans bear interest at 6% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. The Loans mature on December 5, 2015. The Loans and all other amounts due and owing under the Loan Agreement and related documents are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in, and lien on, substantially all of the assets of the Company. Amounts available for borrowing under the Line of Credit equal the lesser of the Borrowing Base (as defined below), and $5 million, in each case, as the same is reduced by the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Line of Credit. “Borrowing Base” under the Loan Agreement means, generally, the amount equal to (i) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 50% of the value of eligible inventory, less (iii) certain reserves.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company has the obligation to negotiate in good faith and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, enter into a registration rights agreement with Capital Preservation Solutions and Capital Preservation Holdings providing for customary demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Company’s capital stock that Capital Preservation Solutions and Capital Preservation Holdings own or have the right to acquire following the Closing Date. The Company’s failure to list on the NYSE MKT the shares of Common Stock, which are issuable under the Warrant by October 5, 2014 constitutes an event of default under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement otherwise contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Capital Preservation Solutions may elect to declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loans to be immediately due and payable, together with interest thereon through the date of payment and all costs incurred by and payable to Capital Preservation Solutions under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants on the part of the Company.

CUSIP No. 124867102       Page 8 of 10 Pages

 

On September 5, 2014, in addition to the $1 million in Term Loan proceeds which the Company received, the Company drew $600,000 on the Line of Credit. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company is not permitted to make additional draws under the Line of Credit until the Company has listed on the NYSE MKT the Common Stock issuable under the Warrant.

The information regarding the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Warrant set forth in Item 3 is incorporated herein by reference.

Within 14 days after the commencement of arbitration, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall each select one person to act as arbitrator and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator within 10 days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrators shall apply the substantive law of the State of Delaware. The award shall include a statement of the factual and legal basis for the decision. Any award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the losing party or its or his assets, to the extent permitted by the law

of such jurisdiction. The parties to any arbitration hereby expressly submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America for the sole purpose of enforcing, modifying or vacating arbitral awards and for disputes that are removed from the arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. Each party hereto agrees that any and all proceedings, notices and documents so served shall have been properly served upon such party within the State of Delaware and that such service shall thereby confer personal jurisdiction upon such party.

Section 5.3 Cumulative Remedies; Failure to Pursue Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Except where a time period is specified, no delay on the part of any party in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any exercise or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

Section 5.4 Equitable Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed fully by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or conditions or were otherwise breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that will be suffered by the parties hereto in the event that this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms or conditions or is otherwise breached. It is accordingly hereby acknowledged that, notwithstanding Section 5.2 hereof, the parties hereto shall be entitled to petition the courts of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for an injunction or injunctions to restrain, enjoin and prevent a failure to perform this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically such terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived except upon the written consent of the Buyer and the Sellers. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 5.6 Assignment; Binding Effect. The rights and obligations set forth herein may not be assigned or delegated by the Sellers, and may be assigned or delegated by the Buyer to any person. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

Section 5.7 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection herewith.

Each Seller, with respect to such Seller’s shares of Common Stock, does hereby constitute and appoint the Buyer, and each nominee of the Buyer, with full power of substitution, as his true and lawful attorney and proxy, for and in his name, place and stead, to vote each of such shares of Common Stock, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired by such Seller or with respect to which such Seller has or hereafter acquires, as his proxy, at every annual, special or adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including the right to sign his name (as stockholder) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to the Company that may be permitted or required by applicable law) (a) in favor of the approval of the Proposed Transaction and any other transactions or agreements contemplated or entered into pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, (b) against any transaction pursuant to a Proposal (as defined in the Standstill Agreement Letter, dated as of August 25, 2014, between the Company and Capital Preservation Solutions, LLC) by any party other than Ultimark, Buyer or their affiliates or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company related to the Proposed Transaction or which could result in any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations related to the Proposed Transaction or any other transaction or agreement contemplated or entered into pursuant to the Proposed Transaction not being fulfilled, and (c) in favor of any other matter relating to the consummation of any agreement or transaction contemplated or entered into pursuant to the Proposed Transaction.

Each Seller shall perform further acts and execute such further documents and instruments as may reasonably be required to vest in the Buyer the power to carry out the provisions of this Section 5.16.
