Adoption of Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights of The Series A Non-Voting Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 14, 2009, Primoris Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation (we, us, our, or the Company), filed the Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights of The Series A Non-Voting Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock (the Certificate of Designations) with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Certificate of Designations designates 95,000 shares of our authorized but unissued blank check preferred stock as Series A Non-Voting Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock), par value $0.0001 per share.
The Certificate of Designations was filed in order to facilitate the closing of the transaction contemplated by a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) that we entered into on November 18, 2009, with James Construction Group, L.L.C., a privately-held Florida limited liability company (JCG), all of the limited liability company members of JCG (collectively, the Members) and Michael D. Killgore, as representative of the Members, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests of JCG. The Purchase Agreement is more fully described under Item 1.01 of the Companys Form 8-K as filed on November 23, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, our Board of Directors agreed to designate a certain number of shares of our authorized but unissued blank check preferred stock as Series A Non-Voting Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock with an assigned par value of $0.0001 per share, and to pay the Members shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to other consideration, on the closing date.
The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights and will not be redeemable by either the Company or the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into 100 shares of common stock, subject to certain specified adjustments, including, without limitation, adjustments based on common stock dividends, stock splits, stock reclassifications or the consummation of a merger, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. However, the Series A Preferred Stock will only be convertible into shares of common stock upon the approval of a majority of our stockholders. If our stockholders do not approve of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase any of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are converted into shares of common stock or repurchased by us will have the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, undesignated as to series.
If, at any time that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we declare a dividend or distribution of cash, securities, properties or assets, we have agreed to simultaneously declare a dividend or distribution on shares of Series A Preferred Stock as if such shares were converted into shares of common stock on the record date for such dividend or distribution. No dividends or distributions will be payable to holders of shares of common stock unless the full dividends or distributions are paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the same time. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be non-cumulative.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive out of the available assets of the Company, whether such assets are stated capital or surplus of any nature, an amount on such date equal to $100 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus the amount of any declared but unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of such liquidation, out of assets legally available for distribution to the Companys stockholders before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of Common Stock. After payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of such amounts, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, will be distributed among the holders of the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the shares of common stock then held by them and the shares of common stock which they then have the right to acquire upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them, regardless of whether or not actual conversion at such time would be permissible. In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to
2
all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are more fully described in the Certificate of Designations. The description of the Certificate of Designations is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designations, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
