9.3 Preemptive Rights.
(a) Subject to applicable securities laws and the provisions of this Section 9.3, until the earliest of (i) the Initial Public Offering or (ii) November 4, 2022, if and whenever the Company shall offer, issue or sell shares of Parity Stock or Senior Stock, or any rights, options or warrants to purchase any such Parity Stock or Senior Stock or notes or other securities of any type whatsoever convertible into or exchangeable for any such Parity Stock or Senior Stock (other than as a dividend or other distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock or other Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company or unless otherwise consented to or waived by the Majority Purchasers) (the “New Securities”), each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to purchase a portion of the New Securities as hereinafter provided before the Company may issue the New Securities to any other Persons (“Preemptive Rights”). Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to purchase up to that number of the New Securities with an aggregate offering or purchase price (or, if applicable, stated value or liquidation preference) equal to the aggregate liquidation preference (as may be adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, reclassifications and similar events which affect the Series A Preferred Stock) of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then held by the Purchaser. If any offering of the New Securities is for an aggregate offering or purchase price (or, if applicable, stated value or liquidation preference) in an amount less than the then-applicable aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then the Preemptive Rights of the Purchaser to subscribe for and purchase any New Securities shall be allocated pro rata based upon the ratio that the aggregate liquidation preference (as may be adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, reclassifications and similar events which affect the Series A Preferred Stock) of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then held by the Purchaser bears to the aggregate liquidation preference (as may be adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, reclassifications and similar events which affect the Series A Preferred Stock) of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. The per share liquidation preference initially stated in the Charter for the Series A Preferred Stock is $1,000.00. For illustrative purposes only, if a Purchaser holds five (5) shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time of an offering of the New Securities and no adjustments have been made to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock since the date of the Closing, then such Purchaser would be entitled to purchase the New Securities with an aggregate offering or purchase price (or, if applicable, stated value or liquidation preference) of $5,000.00.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have Preemptive Rights with respect to the following:
(i) any issuance or sale from time to time of capital stock of the Company resulting from the exercise, conversion or exchange of any rights, options, warrants, convertible notes or other securities with respect to which the Purchaser received Preemptive Rights;
(ii) the issuance or sale from time to time of any capital stock of the Company or of any rights, options or other securities or other awards under any benefit plan of the Company or to any officers, directors or employees of the Company or other eligible participants under any stock option plan, stock incentive plan or other employee benefit plan of the Company, including the hiring thereof, for compensation purposes and the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof;
11
(iii) any issuance from time to time of capital stock of the Company or any rights, options or warrants to purchase any shares of capital stock of the Company or notes or other securities of any type whatsoever convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, reclassifications or other distributions on any Preferred Stock, the Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company;
(iv) any issuance or sale of capital stock of the Company or any rights, options or warrants to purchase any shares of capital stock of the Company or notes or other securities of any type whatsoever convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company as consideration in whole or in part for, or to a strategic partner (not affiliated with the Company or KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.) in connection with, one or more strategic acquisitions, alliances, joint ventures or similar arrangements approved by the Board of Directors;
(v) the issuance of up to $200,000 in the aggregate (as determined based upon the aggregate offering price), of Series A Preferred Stock (or shares of other Preferred Stock that constitute Parity Stock or Senior Stock) in order to qualify as or preserve the qualification of the Company as a real estate investment trust for federal and/or state income tax purposes or to comply with any applicable listing or continued listing requirements of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system;
(vi) any issuance or sale of capital stock of the Company or any rights, options or warrants to purchase any shares of capital stock of the Company or notes or other securities of any type whatsoever convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company to the extent that the exercise of Preemptive Rights in connection with such issuance would result in the violation of any of the restrictions or limitations on ownership under Article VII (or any successor provision thereof) of the articles of incorporation of the Company (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Charter”); or
(vii) the issuance of any New Securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.
(c) The Preemptive Rights shall entitle the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to purchase the New Securities at the same price and on the same terms at which the New Securities are proposed to be offered by the Company, without deduction for the Company’s expenses for such offering, including, without limitation, the fees, costs, expenses or compensation of any placement agent, underwriter or any other accounting, legal or other advisors. In the case of an issuance of any New Securities for consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of such consideration shall be the fair market value of such non-cash consideration as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(d) At least thirty (30) days prior to any offering, issuance or sale of any New Securities subject to the Preemptive Rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall give to each such holder written notice (the “Offering Notice”) of such offering or issuance and their Preemptive Rights with respect thereto, specifying the terms on which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may participate in any such offering or issuance of the New Securities. The Offering Notice shall specify (i) the class and terms of the New Securities to be offered or issued, (ii) the number of shares of such class of the New Securities to be offered or issued, (iii) the price at which such New Securities are proposed to be offered or issued and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the offering or issuance, including, without limitation, the proposed closing date, and shall include all material documents proposed to be entered into in connection with such offering, issuance or sale. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise their Preemptive Rights by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of the Offering Notice, which notice of exercise must set forth in reasonable detail such information as the Company may request in the Offering Notice in order for the Company to determine the whether the Company may maintain its status as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any successor provisions thereto and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance and to ensure compliance with the applicable restrictions or limitations on ownership under Article VII of the Charter (or any successor provision thereto).
9.4 Loan to Value Ratio. Until the earliest of (a) the Initial Public Offering or (b) November 4, 2022 (unless otherwise consented to or waived by the Majority Purchasers), the Company shall maintain a Loan to Value Ratio of the Company not greater than eighty-five percent (85%).
