Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The Fund previously acquired: (i) 246,598 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 35 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”); (iii) a warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant”); (iv) 15 shares of the Issuer’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”); and (v) a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock (a “Series B Warrant” and each Series B Warrant together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”). On September 16, 2011, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Fund acquired from the Issuer (i) 15 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) a Series B Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 share of Common Stock for aggregate consideration of $1,500,000. Pursuant to the terms of such Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has the right to sell to the Fund, at the Issuer’s sole discretion, (x) at any time between December 1, 2011 and April 30, 2012, 15 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock and an additional Series B Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (y) at any time between May 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012, 20 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock and an additional Series B Warrant to purchase 1,333,334 shares of Common Stock

 

The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock Certificates of Designations and of each of the Warrants contain conversion caps that prevent the Fund from exercising or converting, as the case may be, an amount of such Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Warrant to the extent that the Fund would beneficially own greater than 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. As a result of such conversion caps, no shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, or any of the Warrants is included in the shares reported by Vicis on this Schedule.

 

Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock and of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, subject to adjustment, into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the stated value of such share divided by the conversion price of such share, such that 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series A Preferred Stock owned by Vicis (subject to the limitations imposed by the applicable conversion cap) and 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series B Preferred Stock owned by Vicis (subject to the limitations imposed by the applicable conversion cap).

 

On November 16, 2010, March 25, 2011, and November 21, 2011, the Issuer paid to the Fund dividends on the Preferred Stock in the form of 173,922 shares of Common Stock, 252,526 shares of Common Stock, and 223,294 shares of Common Stock, respectively.

 

As a result of the transactions described above, when the 246,598 shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Fund are aggregated with the 649,742 shares of Common Stock acquired by the Fund as Common Stock dividends paid to the Fund with respect to the Preferred Stock, Vicis may be deemed to beneficially own 896,340 shares of Common Stock.

 

 
 

 

On September 21, 2010, SLS I acquired from a private party: (i) 400,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) a purchase right option to acquire up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock from such party at any time on or before September 21, 2013, for aggregate consideration of $500,000. As a result, SLS I may be deemed to beneficially own 650,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Vicis, on behalf of the Fund, acquired the securities of the Issuer described in this Schedule as held by the Fund for investment purposes in the ordinary course of its business pursuant to specified investment objectives of the Fund. SLS I acquired the securities of the Issuer described in this Schedule as held by SLS I for investment purposes.

 

On July 28, 2010, Mr. Shad Stastney was appointed to the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to the board election rights granted to the holders of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock (which right provides that so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall, voting together as a separate class, be entitled to elect the number of directors on the Issuer’s board of directors that is determined using the following formula, rounded up: X = D x ((B + C) / O), where X equals the number of Series B Preferred Stock directors, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number; D equals the then-current total number of directors of the Issuer; B equals the then-current total number of shares of Common Stock underlying all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, C equals the then-current total number of shares of Common Stock held by all holders of Series B Preferred Stock, and O equals the then-current total number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock issued and outstanding). Mr. Stastney is the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Research for Vicis Capital, LLC, a company he jointly founded in 2004, and a member of SLS I. Mr. Stastney also jointly founded Victus Capital Management LLC in 2001. From 1998 through 2001, Mr. Stastney worked with the corporate equity derivatives origination group of Credit Suisse First Boston, eventually becoming a Director and Head of the Hedging and Monetization Group, a joint venture between derivatives and equity capital markets. In 1997, he joined Credit Suisse First Boston’s then-combined convertible/equity derivative origination desk. From 1994 to 1997, he was an associate at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine and Moore in New York, in their tax and corporate groups, focusing on derivatives. He graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1990 with a B.A. in Political Theory and History, and from the Yale Law School in 1994 with a J.D. degree focusing on corporate and tax law. Mr. Stastney is currently a director of several public companies.

 

Vicis and representatives of Vicis and the Fund have had discussions with senior management of the Issuer and may in the future have such discussions concerning ways in which the Issuer could maximize shareholder value.

As permitted by law, each Reporting Person may purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock or dispose of any or all of such securities from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, depending upon future evaluation of the Issuer and upon other developments, including general economic and stock market conditions.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

  (a) The Fund, for which Vicis Capital, LLC acts as investment advisor, directly holds 896,340 of the shares reported on this Schedule. Vicis Capital, LLC may be deemed to beneficially own such 896,340 shares within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of the voting and dispositive power over such shares granted by Vicis Capital Master Fund to Vicis Capital, LLC.

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into this 21st day of September 2010, by and among David Harrell (the “Seller”), the Chairman of OptimizeRx Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and an individual resident of the State of Michigan, SLS Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), and the Company.

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, the Seller is the holder of 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”);

 

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell and transfer to the Buyer, and the Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, (i) 400,000 shares (the “Closing Shares”) of Common Stock on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the right to purchase up to 250,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Right Shares”, and together with the Closing Shares, the “Securities”) at an exercise price of $2.50 per share at any time on or prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Purchase Right”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.         Purchase and Sale; Assignment and Assumption. The parties hereby agree that the Seller will sell and assign to the Buyer, and the Buyer will purchase and assume from the Seller, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in the Closing Shares and in the Purchase Right. From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the rights that have been assigned to, and assumed by, it pursuant to this Agreement, and the Seller shall relinquish his rights under and to the Closing Shares.

 

2.         Consideration. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Closing Shares and the Purchase Right shall be Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).

 

3.         Closing. The closing of the transactions described herein shall occur on September 21, 2010 or at such place, on such date, at such time (the “Closing Date”) as the parties may agree. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the following actions shall be taken:

 

(a)         The Seller shall surrender and deliver to the Buyer original certificates representing the Closing Shares and any and all consents of the Company, or other third parties, necessary for the valid assignment of the Closing Shares by the Seller to the Buyer.

 

 
 

 

(b)         The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Purchase Price via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions provided by the Seller.

 

4.         Purchase Right.

 

(a)         Mechanics of Purchase Right. At any time beginning on the Closing Date until on or prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer may exercise the Purchase Right in whole or in part by providing a notice to Seller accompanied by a payment via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions provided by the Seller of an amount of consideration therefor equal to Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2.50) (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b)) multiplied by the number of shares of Purchase Right Shares that the Buyer is electing to purchase. Upon such exercise, the Seller shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) days following such exercise) surrender and deliver to the Buyer original certificates representing the Purchase Right Shares so exercised and any and all consents of the Company, or other third parties, necessary for the valid assignment of such Purchase Right Shares by the Seller to the Buyer.

 

(b)         Adjustments. In the event of any adjustment in the Purchase Right Shares, including as a result of stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, the number of shares of Common Stock constituting Purchase Right Shares and the terms and conditions thereof (including without limitation the exercise price thereof) shall be equitably adjusted by the Buyer in the Buyer’s reasonable good faith to account for the impact of such adjustment.

 

5.         Seller’s Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, and as of each date on which Buyer exercises the Purchase Right:

 

(a)         Power. The Seller has full authority and power to execute and deliver this Agreement and the obligations arising thereunder and to sell and transfer the Securities to the Buyer as provided herein.

 

(b)         Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Seller and no other action on the part of the Seller is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(c)         Binding Obligation.

(a)        Lock-Up and Leak Out.

Subject to the provisions of subsection (ii) hereof, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that the Buyer ceases to hold any securities issued by the Company (such period is referred to herein as the “Lock-Up Period”), the Seller shall not (A) sell, transfer, assign, offer, pledge, contract to sell, transfer or assign, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, transfer or assign, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer, assign or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company now held or hereafter acquired by the Seller (except to Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Right) (all such securities, the “Locked-Up Securities”), or (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers or assigns to another person or entity, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits, obligations or other consequences of any nature of ownership of the Locked-Up Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Locked-Up Securities in cash or otherwise. Each of the transactions referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) is referred to herein individually as a “Sale” and collectively as “Sales”.

 

 
 

  

(ii)         Leak-Out Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (i) hereof, at any time after the two- (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the right to consummate Sales of shares of Common Stock constituting Locked-Up Securities (“Locked-Up Shares”) to the extent such Sales of Locked-Up Shares in the aggregate during any calendar year do not exceed five percent (5%) of the Locked-Up Shares then held by the Seller; provided, however, that in no event may Seller consummate a Sale of shares of Common Stock constituting Purchase Right Shares prior to the expiration of the Purchase Right.

 

(iii)         Notice of Sale. As promptly as possible on the same day that the Seller consummates any Sale of Locked-Up Securities during the Lock-Up Period, the Seller shall notify the Buyer of such Sale.

 

(iv)         Equitable Remedies. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer’s remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6(a) would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Seller of any of the provisions of this Agreement it is agreed that, in addition to its remedy at law, the Buyer shall be entitled, without posting any bond, to equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Buyer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach.

 

(v)         Stop Transfer Orders. The Seller agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Locked-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. Upon presentation by the Buyer to the Company of reasonable evidence that the Seller has or is about to breach its covenants hereunder, the Company agrees promptly to issue stop transfer instructions to the Company’s transfer agent in connection with any purported transfer of Locked-Up Securities by the Seller.

 

(b)        Indemnification. The Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and all of its affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and shall reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, from and against each claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of preparation and investigation, and the actual fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of (i) any representation by the Seller being untrue in any material respect when given, or any breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the Seller, in each case contained herein or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered by the Seller to the Buyer; or (ii) the Seller’s failure to comply with applicable law.
