INFORMATION STATEMENT

PURSUANT TO SECTION 14F OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

AND RULE 14F-1 THEREUNDER

 

TITAN ENERGY WORLDWIDE, INC. IS NOT SOLICITING PROXIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT, AND NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION BY TITAN ENERGY WORLDWIDE, INC.’S SHAREHOLDERS IS REQUIRED TO BE TAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to the holders of record on December 2, 2014, of the outstanding shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by PTES Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“PTES”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pioneer”), by acquiring 176 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company from certain individual shareholders and 100 newly-issued shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock from the Company. As a condition to the acquisition of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock by PTES, Jeffrey W. Flannery, the current sole member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), agreed to resign from the Board, effective on or around December 13, 2014, and appointed Nathan J. Mazurek, Pioneer’s chief executive officer, to serve as the sole director of the Company, effective immediately upon the resignation of Mr. Flannery, thereby causing a change in the majority of the Board. This Information Statement is being provided solely for informational purposes and not in connection with a vote of the Company’s shareholders.

 

This Information Statement is being furnished pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.

 

Change of Control Transaction

 

On December 2, 2014, PTES acquired 176 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which shares are convertible into 240,694,579 shares of Common Stock and represent approximately 13.9% of the Company’s voting stock (the “Series D Acquisition”). As of December 2, 2014, PTES has also entered into binding purchase agreements to acquire an additional 107.5 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which would be convertible into 147,015,155 shares of Common Stock and collectively with the shares acquired in the Series D Acquisition would represent approximately 22.4 % of the Company’s voting stock. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,367,583 shares of Common Stock.

 

Concurrently with the Series D Acquisition, on December 2, 2014, PTES acquired 100 shares of newly issued Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock from the Company which are convertible into 1,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with each share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock being convertible into 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock, and represent approximately 72.4% of the Company’s voting stock

 

Immediately prior to the Series D Acquisition and the acquisition of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company and holders of more than a majority of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, acting pursuant to Section 1955 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, approved resolutions adopted by the Board to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Rights and Preferences of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company to (i) clarify that the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is a subseries of the Preferred Series A Stock of the Company, (ii) reduce the liquidation preference amount to $6,200 per share from $10,000 and (iii) provide only the Company with an option to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock upon a change of control and remove the right of the holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to require their shares be redeemed upon a change of control.

 

 
 

 

On December 2, 2014, PTES made a loan to the Company in the amount of $2,900,000 to be used to pay off the Company’s existing factoring line indebtedness and certain trade payables and to provide funds for working capital and general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business. The loan from PTES is secured by all assets of the Company and ranks senior to all existing and future classes of the Company’s debt and is guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Company.

 

The Series D Acquisition, the acquisition of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock from the Company, the amendment to the Certificate of Designation of the Rights and Preferences of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the loan from PTES to the Company are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction.”

 

Following the consummation of the Transaction, PTES has the ability to elect all of the members of the Board, and through such directors, controls the appointment of the Company’s officers. Immediately upon the closing of the Transaction, Mr. Flannery, the Company’s chairman, chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer resigned from all offices with the Company and its subsidiaries and was replaced with Mr. Mazurek, the chief executive officer of Pioneer, as the Company’s chief executive officer and president, and Andrew Minkow, the chief financial officer of Pioneer, as the Company’s chief financial officer, vice president, secretary and treasurer. In addition, as noted above, Mr. Flannery, the Company’s sole director, agreed to resign from the Board, effective on or around December 13, 2014, and appointed Mr. Mazurek to serve as the sole director of the Company, effective immediately upon the resignation of Mr. Flannery, so that Mr. Mazurek will constitute the entire Board. The names and biographical information of the new director and executive officers are set forth in this document under the heading “Directors and Executive Officers”.

 

The source of cash funds for PTES’s acquisition of beneficial ownership of such shares of common stock and the repayment of certain indebtedness of the Company was provided by borrowings under Pioneer’s existing credit facilities, including a new $5.0 million term loan facility, pursuant to a credit agreement, dated June 28, 2013, by and among Pioneer, Pioneer Critical Power Inc. (“PCP”), Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. (“Pioneer CEP”) and Jefferson Electric, Inc. (“Jefferson”), which are Pioneer’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, and Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, a Canadian chartered bank (“BMO”), as amended from time to time prior to the Transaction (the “Credit Agreement”). The principal repayments become due on a five year amortization schedule, payable in installments on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year, commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2015, and remaining principal amount becoming due at maturity. Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest, at Pioneer’s option, at the lender’s prime rate plus 1.25% per annum on U.S. prime rate loans, or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum on Eurodollar loans. Pioneer’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of, and are guaranteed by, PCP, Jefferson, Pioneer CEP, and upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries became guarantors of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and will granted a security interest in all of their assets.

 

Except as described herein, the other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, including various financial covenants, remain unchanged. For additional information about the Credit Agreement, see Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2013, Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2013, Exhibit 10.1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2013, Exhibit 10.34 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2014, and Exhibit 10.35 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2014.

 

 
 

 

The repayment of amounts outstanding under the term loan may be accelerated upon an event of default as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

In connection with the Credit Agreement, as amended, Pioneer, PCP, Pioneer CEP, Jefferson and BMO entered into a security agreement, dated June 28, 2013 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which Pioneer, PCP, Pioneer CEP, and Jefferson granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets to secure the obligations of Pioneer for borrowed money under the Credit Agreement. The Security Agreement contains terms and conditions typical for the granting of security interests of this kind. Upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries became parties to the Security Agreement and granted BMO a security interest in substantially all of their assets.

 

Voting Securities

 

The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and the Common Stock are the classes of equity securities of the Company that are currently outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

 

As of December 2, 2014, there are 70,787,932 shares of Common Stock outstanding, 406,855,893 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 297.5 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, and 1,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 100 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one (1) vote.

Corporate Governance

 

Terms of Office

 

The Company’s bylaws provide that the Board shall consist of one or more members. Each director of the Company serves until the successor is elected at the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting and is duly elected and qualified, subject to removal by the Company’s stockholders. Each officer serves, at the pleasure of the Board, and will hold office until removed by the Board.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

The Company has historically chosen to combine the principal executive officer and Board chairman positions.  The Company believes that this Board leadership structure is the most appropriate for the Company.  The Board has determined that this leadership structure is appropriate for the Company given the Company’s size, limited resources and the challenges faced by the Company at this stage, obtaining financing and developing the Company’s business. The Board recognizes that no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times and that, depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as separating the role of chairman and chief executive officer, might be appropriate. Since the executive officers and the directors of the Company have historically been the same people, there is no separate oversight by the Board of the Company’s risk oversight.

 

No Committees of the Board; No Financial Expert

 

The Company does not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committee of the Board. Nor does the Company have an audit committee “financial expert.” The Company does not believe that it requires separate committees of the board or an audit committee “financial expert” to effectively run and govern the Company. As such, the entire Board acts as the Company’s audit committee. As such, the entire Board acts as the Company’s audit committee. In addition, the entire Board acts as the Company’s nominating committee. The Company does not have any formal policies with respect to nominations of director candidates. The Company does not have any formal processes or procedures for the consideration and determination of executive and director compensation.

 

 
 

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

Since the Company does not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by the sole member of the Board and previously the principal executive and financial officer.  Thus, there was a potential conflict of interest in that the Company’s sole director had the authority to determine issues concerning his compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.  The Company is not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of the Company’s executive officers or its sole director.

 

Director Independence

 

The Company is not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, the Company is not at this time required to have the Board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” The Company does not believe Mr. Mazurek currently meets the definition of “independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange or of Nasdaq.

 

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the Company.  These risks include financial, technological, competitive, and operational risks.  The Board dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced by the Company at that time.  In addition, since the Company does not have an audit committee, the entire Board is also responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposures.
