Overview

 

Upon Digirad’s acquisition of ATRM Holdings, Inc. (“ATRM”) on September 10, 2019 (the “ATRM Merger” or the “ATRM Acquisition”), Digirad converted into a diversified holding company (the “HoldCo Conversion”). As a diversified holding company, Digirad has three divisions:

Healthcare (Digirad Health): designs, manufactures, and distributes diagnostic medical imaging products. Digirad Health operates in three businesses: Diagnostic Services, Mobile Healthcare, and Diagnostic Imaging. The Diagnostic Services business offers imaging and monitoring services to healthcare providers as an alternative to purchasing the equipment or outsourcing the job to another physician or imaging center. The Mobile Healthcare business provides contract diagnostic imaging, including computerized tomography (“CT”), magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), positron emission tomography (“PET”), PET/CT, and nuclear medicine and healthcare expertise through a convenient mobile service. The Diagnostic Imaging business develops, sells, and maintains solid-state gamma cameras.

Building and Construction (ATRM): services residential and commercial construction projects by manufacturing modular housing units, structural wall panels, permanent wood foundation systems, and other engineered wood products, and supplies general contractors with building materials.

Real Estate and Investments: manages real estate assets (currently three manufacturing plants in Maine) and investments.

Healthcare (Digirad Health) delivers convenient, effective, and efficient healthcare solutions on an as needed, when needed, and where needed basis. OurDigirad’s diverse portfolio of mobile healthcare solutions and diagnostic imaging equipment and services provides hospitals, physician practices, and imaging centers throughout the United States access to technology and services necessary to provide patient care in the rapidly changing healthcare environment. Digirad’s direct and indirect subsidiaries that are included in this division are referred to collectively herein as the “Healthcare Subsidiaries”.

We have grown both organically

Building and Construction (ATRM) manufactures modular housing units for commercial and residential applications. ATRM operates in two businesses: (i) modular building manufacturing and (ii) structural wall panel and wood foundation manufacturing, including building supply retail operations. The modular building manufacturing business is operated by KBS Builders, Inc. (“KBS”), and the structural wall panel and wood foundation manufacturing segment is operated by EdgeBuilder, Inc. (“EdgeBuilder”), and the retail building supplies are sold through acquisitions over the last three years. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2016, we were organized as two reportable segments: Diagnostic ServicesGlenbrook Building Supply, Inc. (“Glenbrook” and Diagnostic Imaging. With the acquisition of DMS Health on January 1, 2016, we added two additional reportable segments: Mobile Healthcare and Medical Device Sales and Services (“MDSS”together with EdgeBuilder, “EBGL”). In FebruaryKBS, EdgeBuilder and Glenbrook are wholly-owned subsidiaries of 2018, we completedATRM and are referred to collectively herein, and together with ATRM, as the sale“Construction Subsidiaries”.

Real Estate & Investments generates revenue from the lease of our customer contracts relating to our MDSS post-warranty service business to Philips North Americacommercial properties and equipment through Star Real Estate Holdings USA, Inc. (“SRE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digirad, and provides services that include investment advisory services and the servicing of pooled investment vehicles through Lone Star Value Management, LLC (“Philips”LSVM”). On October 31, 2018, we sold, a Connecticut based exempt reporting advisor. LSVM, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of ATRM on the ATRM Acquisition Date (as defined below), was acquired by the Company in the ATRM Acquisition. In April 2019, as an initial transaction to create Digirad’s real estate division under SRE and launch that aspect of the HoldCo Conversion, Digirad funded the initial purchase of three modular building manufacturing facilities in Maine and then leased those three properties to KBS. The funding of the assets acquisition was primarily through the revolver loan under our Telerhythmics businesscredit facility with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling” or “SNB”), a national banking association. LSVM, SRE and the subsidiaries of SRE that are included in this division are referred to G Medical Innovations USA, Inc., for $1.95 million in cash. As of December 31, 2018, our business was organized into three reportable segments: Diagnostic Services, Mobile Healthcare, and Diagnostic Imaging.collectively herein as the “Investments Subsidiaries”.

On September 10, 2018, we announced that our board of directors approved the conversion of2019, Digirad into a diversified holding company (the “HoldCo Conversion”), and the potentialcompleted its acquisition of ATRM Holdings, Inc., (“ATRM”)pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as an initial “kick-off” transactionof July 3, 2019 (the “ATRM Acquisition”Merger Agreement”). ATRM is, among Digirad, Digirad Acquisition Corporation, a modular building company consistingMinnesota corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of two divisions, KBS BuildersDigirad (“Merger Sub”), and EdgeBuilder. The KBS division manufactures and distributes modular housing units. EdgeBuilder manufactures engineered wood products used in modular construction, as well as distributes building materials through its Glenbrook unit. Both divisions serveATRM. Under the residential and commercial segmentsterms of the market.ATRM Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into ATRM, with ATRM surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Digirad.

Our

At the effective time of the ATRM Merger, (i) each share of ATRM common stock was converted into the right to receive three one-hundredths (0.03) of a share of 10.0% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) each share of ATRM 10.00% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ATRM Preferred Stock”), converted into the right to receive two and one-half (2.5) shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for an approximate aggregate total of 1.6 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock. No fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued to any ATRM shareholder in the ATRM Merger. Each ATRM shareholder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Company common stock in the ATRM Merger received one whole share of Series A Preferred Stock.

As a result of the ATRM Merger, ATRM’s operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the ATRM Acquisition Date. Digirad’s aim with this acquisition is to continue to grow ourits business into an integrated healthcare services company while simultaneously converting into a diversified holding company through the acquisition of businesses that meet ourDigirad’s internally developed financially disciplined approachfinancial screen for acquisitions. The Company expects to achieve significant synergies and cost reductions by eliminating redundant processes and facilities.

Further, for a portion of our business, we have the ability to sell the underlying capital equipment directly to our customers should their needs change and they desire to provide services on their own with the underlying capital equipment. This ability to serve our customers in a variety of capacities from selling equipment directly, or providing more flexibility through a service-based model, allows us to serve our customers according to their exact needs, as well as the ability to capture both ends of the revenue spectrum.

All brands available through Glenbrook add profit margin to our larger commodities business, including premium brands like Selkirk, Cedar and Bessemer Plywood.

Utilization of knowledgeable sales force.Our experienced sales force provides knowledgeable personal service to our customers to help bring our products to “life” in the form of a successful project through partnership with our customers.

Efficiencies and reliability from our indoor manufacturing facility.We utilize efficiencies and reliability provided by our indoor manufacturing facility, which allows us to maximize labor productivity, reduce waste and foresee project specific design conflicts among trades before they arise on site.

Real Estate and Investments

Our competitive strengths in real estate include a focus on acquisition opportunities that have underappreciated real estate value, which assets the Company anticipates placing into SRE. SRE expects to be largely self-funded over time by raising its own capital through commercial mortgages on its properties and other forms of external capital.

Our competitive strengths in investments include shareholder activism through the Lone Star Value brand name, which will be less confusing to investment targets and the investing public than pursuing investments through one of our operating companies. We also expect to make strategic acquisitions in the future. Investments and acquisitions will be made using our internally developed financially disciplined approach for acquisitions.

Strategy

 

We seek to grow our business by, among other things:

 

Organic growth from our core businesses.We believe that we operate in markets and geographies that will allow us to continue to grow our core businesses, allowing us to benefit from our scale and strengths. We plan to focus our efforts on markets in which we already have a presence in order to take advantage of personnel, infrastructure, and brand recognition we have in these areas.

Introduction of new services.We plan to continue to focus on healthcare solutions related businesses that deliver necessary assets, services and logistics directly to the customer site. We believe that over time we can either purchase or develop new and complementary businesses and take advantage of our customer loyalty and distribution channels. In addition, as we transform into a multi-industry holding company, our largest near-term growth opportunity is to execute a successful turnaround of the KBS modular business that we acquired pursuant to the ATRM Merger. While we intend to continue to pursue and grow our residential modular building business, which provides us with positive margins and cash flow, we are also targeting large multi-family projects in the 25 to 100-building modules range.

Acquisition of complementary businesses.The current economic environment offers significant opportunities for strategic acquisitions which can be either be bolt-on acquisitions for existing platform businesses, or new core businesses complementary to our new holding company structure. We will have a disciplined approach for making any potential acquisitions and will focus on faster growing and higher margin businesses. We believe there are many potential targets in the range of $3 million to $10 million in annual revenues that can be acquired over time and integrated into our businesses. We will also look at larger, more transformational acquisitions if we believe the appropriate mix of value, risk and return is present for our shareholders. The timing of these potential acquisitions will always depend on market conditions, available capital, and the value for each transaction. In general, we want to be “value” buyers, and will not pursue any transaction unless we believe the post-transaction potential value is high for shareholders.

Divestiture of business units. From time to time we consider divestitures of business units and/or assets which are not consistent with the future strategy of our business, or if we believe the sale of such units and/or assets could be in the best interests of our business and its stockholders, subject to our ability to agree on acceptable terms with a prospective buyer. We currently are considering several possible transactions, including discussions regarding the sale of a business unit. Upon any such sale, a significant portion of the proceeds would be used to repay indebtedness, with the remainder being used for working capital purposes, and potentially the acquisition of complementary businesses as discussed above. There is no assurance that any such divestiture will occur, or if it does, if it would occur for a sales price currently contemplated. If it occurs, there is no assurance that we will be able to use the proceeds in the acquisition of a complementary business, or if we do if such acquisition will be successful. Because we have concluded, as of the date of this prospectus, that such divestiture is not “probable” under the applicable rules of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are not including additional information about it in this prospectus and you will, therefore, not have the opportunity to evaluate such information as part of this offering.

We continue to explore strategic alternatives to improve the market position and profitability of our product offerings in the marketplace, generate additional liquidity, and enhance our valuation. We may pursue our goals during the next twelve months through organic growth and through strategic alternatives. Some of these alternatives have included, and could continue to include, selective acquisitions of business segments or entire businesses, divestitures of assets or divisions, or a restructuring of our company.

our Business

 

Business Segments

AsIn January 2016 we acquired Project Rendezvous Holding Corporation (“PRHC”), the ultimate parent company of December 31, 2018, our businessDMS Health Technologies, Inc. (collectively referred to hereinafter as “DMS Health Technologies” or “DMS Health”) for $32.3 million. DMS Health is organized into threea provider of mobile diagnostic imaging services and provides medical product sales and service. The acquisition resulted in two new reportable segments: Diagnostic Services, Mobile Healthcare and Diagnostic Imaging. For discussion purposes,Medical Device Sales and Services.

In February of 2018, we categorizedcompleted the sale of our Diagnosticcustomer contracts relating to our Medical Device Sales and Service (“MDSS”) post-warranty service business to Philips for $8 million. On October 31, 2018, we sold our Telerhythmics, LLC (“Telerhythmics”) business to G Medical Innovations USA, Inc., for $1.95 million cash.

On December 14, 2018, Digirad and ATRM entered into a joint venture and formed Star Procurement, LLC, with Digirad and ATRM each holding a 50% interest. The purpose of the joint venture is to provide the service of purchasing and selling building materials and related goods to KBS with which Star Procurement entered into a Services and Mobile Healthcare reportable segments as “Services,” and our Diagnostic Imaging reportable segment as “Product and Product-Related.” ForAgreement on January 2, 2019. In accordance with the last two fiscal years, Services and Product and Product-Related activities hadterms of the following relativeStar Procurement Limited Liability Company Agreement, Digirad made a $1.0 million capital contribution to the joint venture, which was made in January 2019. This entity was subsequently consolidated revenues:within the consolidated financial statements upon completion of the ATRM Merger.

Digirad formed SRE in March 2019 in connection with establishing its Real Estate and Investments Division. In April 2019, as an initial transaction for the Real Estate and Investments Division under SRE, Digirad funded the initial purchase of three manufacturing facilities in Maine and leased those three properties.

On September 10, 2019 (the “ATRM Acquisition Date”), Digirad completed the ATRM Acquisition and thereby converted into a diversified holding company. As a result of the ATRM Acquisition, ATRM became a wholly owned subsidiary of Digirad and KBS, EdgeBuilder, Glenbrook and LSVM became wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of Digirad. As a result of internal restructuring, LSVM is now a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Digirad.

Business Segments

Prior to the year ended December 31, 2018,September 10, 2019, we were organized as four reportable segments: Diagnostic Services, Diagnostic Imaging, Mobile Healthcare, and Medical Device Sales and Service. On February 1, 2018, we sold our Medical Device Sales and Service (“MDSS”) business.

As of December 31, 2019, our business is organized into five reportable segments: Diagnostic Services, Mobile Healthcare, Diagnostic Imaging, Building and Construction, and Real Estate and Investments.

Diagnostic Services

Through Diagnostic Services, we offer a convenient and economically efficient imaging and monitoring services program as an alternative to purchasing equipment or outsourcing the procedures to another physician or imaging center. For physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging, echocardiography, vascular or general ultrasound tests, we provide imaging systems, qualified personnel, radiopharmaceuticals, licensing services, and the logistics required to perform imaging in their own offices, and thereby the ability to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for those services, which are primarily cardiac in nature. We provide imaging services primarily to cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, and family practice doctors who typically enter into annual contracts for a set number of days ranging from once per month to five times per week. Many of our physician customers are reliant on reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party insurers. Although reimbursement for procedures provided by our services have been stable during the last several years, any future changes to underlying reimbursements may require modifications to our current business model in order for us to maintain a viable economic model.

Our portable nuclear and ultrasound imaging operations utilize a “hub and spoke” model in which centrally located regional hubs anchor multiple van routes in the surrounding metropolitan areas. At these hubs, clinical personnel load the equipment, radiopharmaceuticals, and other supplies onto specially equipped vans for transport to customer locations, where they set up the equipment for the day. After quality assurance testing, a technologist under the physician’s supervision will gather patient information, inject the patient with a radiopharmaceutical, and then acquire images for interpretation by the physician. At the conclusion of the day of service, all equipment and supplies are removed from the customer location and transported back to the central hub location. Our model relies on density and customer concentration to allow for efficiencies and maximum profitability, and therefore we are only located in geographies where there is a high concentration of people, cardiac disease and associated likely customer locations.

For our nuclear imaging services, we have obtained Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (“IAC”) and Intersocietal Commission for Echocardiography Laboratories (“ICAEL”) accreditation for our services. Our licensing infrastructure provides radioactive materials licensing, radiation safety officer services, radiation safety training, monitoring and compliance policies and procedures, and quality assurance functions, to ensure adherence to applicable state and federal nuclear regulations.

Mobile Healthcare

Through Mobile Healthcare, we provide contract diagnostic imaging, including computerized tomography (“CT”), magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), positron emission tomography (“PET”), PET/CT, and nuclear medicine and healthcare expertise to hospitals, integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”), and federal institutions on a long-term contract basis, as well as provisional (short-term) services to institutions that are in transition. TheseRather than our customers owning the equipment directly and operating the related services, are provided primarilywe provide this service when there is a cost, ease, and efficiency component of providing the services directly rather than owning and operating the related services and equipment directly by our customers.benefit.

3

Our Mobile Healthcare operations operate throughout the United States, with a heavier concentration in rural areas, particularly in the Upper Midwest region of the United States. We have a range of customer types, but our most typical customer is a small or regional hospital that does not have enough volume of activity to justify owning a piece of imaging equipment on a full-time basis. Our services typically offer the diagnostic imaging equipment, placed in a large patient friendly coach or tractor-trailer, coupled with either an owned or operator-owned tractor, thatwhich is then transported to each customer location. Our mobile routes are designed to provide for maximum utilization and efficiency by allowing our units to travel to the next customer location during non-working hours of a typical imaging clinic, meeting our technical staff at each location. Our customers commit to annual contracts ranging from service once every two weeks to up to two days of service per week, depending on modality type and their local demand for services.

Diagnostic Imaging

Through Diagnostic Imaging, we sell our internally developed solid-state gamma cameras, imaging systems and camera maintenance contracts. Our imaging systems include nuclear cardiac imaging systems, as well as general purpose nuclear imaging systems. We sell our imaging systems to physician offices and hospitals primarily in the United States, although we have sold a small number of imaging systems internationally. Our imaging systems are sold in both portable and fixed configurations, provide enhanced operability and improved patient comfort, fit easily into floor spaces as small as seven feet by eight feet, and facilitate the delivery of nuclear medicine procedures in a physician’s office, an outpatient hospital setting, or within multiple departments of a hospital (e.g., emergency and operating rooms). Our Diagnostic Imaging segment revenues derive primarily from selling solid-state gamma cameras and post-warranty camera maintenance contracts.

The central component of a nuclear camera is the detector, which ultimately determines the overall clinical quality of images a camera produces. Our nuclear cameras feature detectors with advanced proprietary solid-state technology developed by us. Solid-state systems have a number of benefits over conventional photomultiplier tube-based camera designs typically offered by our competitors. Our solid-state technology systems are typically 2 to 5 times lighter and considerably more compact than most traditional nuclear systems, making them far easier and less costly to build, very reliable, and able to be utilized for mobile applications. We are a market leader in the mobile solid-state nuclear camera segment.

We believe our current imaging systems, with their state-of-the-art technology and underlying patents, will continue to be relevant for the foreseeable future. We will continue to enhance and adjust our existing systems for the changing nuclear imaging market, including software updates and smaller enhancements. However, to accomplish any significant changes and enhancements, we will utilize what we believe is a deep available pool of contract engineers on a flexible, as needed basis and do not maintain a staff research and development department, thereby eliminating the fixed costs of a fully staffed research and development department.

Building and Construction

ATRM through its wholly-owned subsidiaries KBS, Glenbrook and EdgeBuilder, services residential and commercial construction projects by manufacturing modular housing units, structural wall panels, permanent wood foundation systems, and other engineered wood products, and supplies general contractors with building materials. KBS is a Maine-based manufacturer that started business in 2001 as a manufacturer of modular homes. Our focus is to offer high quality products for both commercial and residential buildings with a focus on customization to suit the project requirements, provide value with our engineering and design expertise, and deliver product when required by the customer. Having operated at below 50% capacity at our South Paris, Maine facility throughout 2019, we have rebuilt our sales team and embarked on a new strategy that broadens our target market beyond single-family residential installations, which typically involve producing three to four building modules per project. While we intend to continue to pursue and grow our residential modular building business, which provides us with positive margins and cash flow, we are also targeting large multi-family projects in the 25 to 100 building modules range.

Having produced approximately 230 building modules in 2019, we are in advanced discussions for various large commercial construction projects in New England that together will account for nearly 250 building modules and over $10.0 million in potential revenue. The modular manufacturing industry brings different financial challenges than the conventional real estate construction industry, as factory production requires that materials be purchased up front and well ahead of final payment for a project. We recently received $2.0 million in financing from Gerber to add to our working capital in preparation for projects of our KBS subsidiary, which are anticipated to begin in May 2020 and be completed later in 2020.

Glenbrook is a retail supplier of lumber, windows, doors, cabinets, drywall, roofing, decking and other building materials and conducts its operations in Oakdale, Minnesota. EdgeBuilder is a manufacturer of structural wall panels, permanent wood foundation systems and other engineered wood products and conducts its operations in Prescott, Wisconsin. We provide high quality building materials and unmatched service and attention to detail to building professionals, as well as homeowners. In addition, we provide highly personalized service, knowledgeable salespeople and attention to detail that the larger, big-box chain home stores do not provide. We offer a superior products unique to each project’s requirements, provide value with our engineering and design expertise that meet the customer’s needs, while staying cost-competitive and on schedule. While EdgeBuilder supplies the wall panels, Glenbrook supplies “loose lumber” such as floor and roof sheathing, bracing, and hardware with a “tandem” approach to every project. Residential home projects require much less production time than larger projects. The framing on a single-family home can be manufactured in a few hours, while larger buildings take many weeks. Our production strategy is to utilize automation and the most efficient methods of manufacturing and high-quality materials in all of our projects.

Real Estate and Investments

As part of the HoldCo Conversion, Digirad formed a real estate division under a newly formed subsidiary named Star Real Estate Holdings USA, Inc. (“SRE”) for the purposes of holding significant real estate assets that Digirad acquires. As an initial transaction to create Digirad’s real estate division under SRE and launch that aspect of the HoldCo Conversion, in April 2019, Digirad funded the initial purchase of three manufacturing facilities in Maine that manufacture modular buildings and leased those three properties. The funding of the asset acquisition was primarily through the revolver loan under our credit facility with Sterling. Digirad expects SRE to be substantially self-funded over time by raising its own capital in the form of commercial mortgages on the properties it owns or by raising other forms of external capital. Lone Star Value Management, LLC (LSVM), which was a wholly owned subsidiary of ATRM on the ATRM Acquisition Date, is a Connecticut based exempt reporting advisor that was acquired by the Company in the ATRM Acquisition. LSVM provides services that include investment advisory services and the servicing of pooled investment vehicles. The Company expects to use LSVM to make strategic investments in future potential acquisition targets for the Company.

Market Opportunity

Healthcare Services and Products

Diagnostic imaging depictions of the internal anatomy or physiology are generated primarily through non-invasive means. Diagnostic imaging facilitates the early diagnosis of diseases and disorders, often minimizing the scope, cost, and amount of care required and reducing the need for more invasive procedures. Currently, the major types of non-invasive diagnostic imaging technologies available are: x-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, PET, and nuclear imaging. The most widely used imaging acquisition technology utilizing gamma cameras is single photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT. All our current internally-developed cardiac gamma cameras employ SPECT technology.

Diagnostic imaging is the standard of care in diagnosis of diseases and disorders. We offer, through our businesses, the majority of these diagnostic imaging modalities. All of the diagnostic imaging modalities that we offer (both from provision of services and product sales) have been consistently utilized in clinical applications for many years, and are stable in their use and need. By offering a wide array of these modalities, we believe that we have strategically diversified our operations in possible changing trends of utilization of one diagnostic imaging modality from another.

independent dealers, builders, and contractors in the New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont). KBS’s direct sales organization is responsible for all commercial building projects, and works with developers, architects, owners, and general contractors to establish the scope of work, terms of payment, and general requirements for each project. KBS’s sales people also work with independent dealers, builders, and contractors to accurately configure and place orders for residential homes for their end customers. KBS’s network of independent dealers and contractors do not work with it exclusively, although many have KBS model homes on display at their retail centers. KBS does not assign exclusive territories to its independent dealers and contractors, but they tend to sell in areas of New England where they will not be competing against another KBS dealer or contractor. KBS’s backlog and pipeline, along with its market initiatives to build more workforce housing, are expected to position KBS for growth in 2020.

EBGL markets its engineered structural wall panels and permanent wood foundation systems through direct sales people and a network of builders, contractors and developers in and around Minneapolis and St. Paul areas. EBGL’s direct sales organization is responsible for both residential and commercial projects and it works with general contractors, developers and builders to provide bids and quotes for specific projects. Our marketing efforts include participation in industry trade shows, production of product literature, and sales support tools. These efforts are designed to generate sales leads for our independent builders and dealers, and direct salespeople. EBGL’s backlog and pipeline are currently estimated to exceed $20.0 million, as EBGL also strives to build more workforce housing.

Competition

 

The market for diagnostic products and services is highly competitive. Our business, which is focused primarily on the private practice and hospital sectors, continues to face challenges of demand for diagnostic services and imaging equipment, which we believe is due in part to the impact of the Deficit Reduction Act on the reimbursement environment and the 2010 Healthcare Reform laws, as well as general uncertainty in overall healthcare and legislative changes in healthcare, such as the Affordable Care Act. These challenges have impacted, and will likely continue to impact, our operations. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include acceptance by hospitals and physicians, relationships that we develop with our customers, budget availability for our capital equipment, requirements for reimbursement, pricing, ease-of-use, reliability, and mobility.

 

Diagnostic Services.In providing diagnostic services, we compete against many smaller local and regional nuclear and/or ultrasound providers, often owner-operators that may have lower operating costs. The fixed-installation operators often utilize older, used equipment, and the mobile operators may use older Digirad single-head cameras or newer dual-head cameras. We are the only mobile provider with our own exclusive source of triple-head mobile systems. Some competing operators place new or used cameras into physician offices and then provide the staffing, supplies, and other support as an alternative to a Diagnostic Services service contract. In addition, we compete against imaging centers that install fixed nuclear gamma cameras and make them available to referring physicians in their geographic vicinity. In these cases, the physician sends their patients to the imaging center.

 

Diagnostic Imaging. In selling our imaging systems, we compete against several large medical device manufacturers who offer a full line of imaging cameras for each diagnostic imaging technology, including x-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, or SPECT/CT and PET/CT hybrid imagers. The existing nuclear imaging systems sold by these competitors have been in use for a longer period of time than internally developed nuclear gamma cameras, and are more widely recognized and used by physicians and hospitals for nuclear imaging; however, they are generally not solid-state, lightweight, as flexible, or portable. Additionally, certain medical device companies have developed a version of solid-state gamma cameras that may directly compete with our product offerings. Many of the larger multi-modality competitors enjoy significant competitive advantages over us, including greater brand recognition, greater financial and technical resources, established relationships with healthcare professionals, broader distribution networks, more resources for product development and marketing and sales, and the ability to bundle products to offer discounts.

 

Mobile Healthcare. The market for selling, servicing, and operating diagnostic imaging services, patient monitoring equipment, and imaging systems is highly competitive. In providing our Mobile Healthcare services, we compete against a few large national and regional providers. In addition to direct competition from other providers of services similar to those offered by us, we compete with freestanding imaging centers and healthcare providers that have their own diagnostic imaging systems, as well as with equipment manufacturers that sell imaging equipment directly to healthcare providers for permanent installation. Some of the direct competitors, which provide contract MRI and PET/CT services, have access to greater financial resources than we do. In addition, some of our customers are capable of providing the same services we provide to their patients directly, subject only to their decision to acquire a high-cost diagnostic imaging system, assume the financial and technology risk, and employ the necessary technologists, rather than obtain equipment and services from us. We may also experience greater competition in states that currently have certificate of need laws if such laws were repealed, thereby reducing barriers to entry and increasing competition in those states. We also compete against other similar providers in quality of services, quality of imaging systems, relationships with healthcare providers, knowledge and service quality of technologists, price, availability, and reliability.

 

Building and Construction. The market for building and construction is highly competitive. KBS is a regional manufacturer of modular housing units with its primary market in the New England states. Several modular manufacturers are located in these New England states and in nearby Pennsylvania. Some competitors have manufacturing locations in Canada and ship their products to the United States. KBS’s competitors include Apex Homes, Commodore Corporation, Skyline Champion Homes, Custom Building Systems, Durabuilt, Excel Homes, Huntington Homes, Icon Legacy Homes, Kent Homes (Canada), Maple Leaf Homes (Canada), Muncy Homes, New England Homes, New Era, Pennwest, Premier Builders (PA), Professional Builders Systems, RCM (Canada), Redmond Homes, Ritz-Craft, Simplex Homes, and Westchester Modular. EBGL is a regional manufacturer of engineered structural wall panels and permanent wood foundation systems, and also has a local retail business. EBGL’s market is primarily the Upper Midwest states (Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). EBGL’s competitors include Precision Wall Systems, Component Manufacturing Company, JL Schwieters Construction, Arrow Building Center, and Marshall Truss Systems Incorporated. EBGL’s professional building supply business competes on a local level against both small, local lumber yards, regional building supply companies and to a certain degree, the “big box” stores such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Menard’s.

Raw Materials

Diagnostic Imaging.We and our contract manufacturers use a wide variety of materials, metals, and mechanical and electrical components for production of our nuclear imaging gamma cameras. These materials are primarily purchased from external suppliers, some of which are single-source suppliers. Materials are purchased from selected suppliers based on quality assurance, cost effectiveness, and constraints resulting from regulatory requirements, and we work closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while maintaining high quality and reliability. Global commodity supply and demand can ultimately affect pricing of certain of these raw materials. Though we believe we have adequate available sources of raw materials, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to access the quantity of raw material needed to sustain operations, as well as at a cost-effective price.

Diagnostic Services and Mobile Healthcare.Our Diagnostic Services and Mobile Healthcare operations utilize radiopharmaceuticals for our nuclear services. The underlying raw material for creation of the array of doses utilized in nuclear medicine is produced from a total of five main production facilities throughout the world, typically from highly enriched uranium resources. These resources have been and are expected to continue to produce enough raw materials to address the global market, but there continues to be pressure to utilize low or non-enriched uranium resources to produce the underlying nuclear doses.

Building and Construction. KBS is a Maine-based manufacturer that started business in 2001 as a manufacturer of Contentsmodular homes. The majority of underlying raw material for KBS are produced locally, with a small percentage coming from Canada. EdgeBuilder (EB) and Glenbrook (GL), referred to together as EBGL, maintain corporate offices in Oakdale, Minnesota. EdgeBuilder, manufactures wall panels, at its facility in Prescott, Wisconsin. Glenbrook, which is located in Oakdale, MN, is a retail supplier of lumber, windows, doors, cabinets, drywall, roofing, decking and other building materials. The underlying raw materials for EdgeBuilder and Glenbrook are dimensional lumber and structural panels (oriented strand board (OSB), plywood, and exterior gypsum sheathing). These resources have been and are expected to continue to produce high quality of wood panels to address global needs.

Manufacturing

Diagnostic Imaging.We manufacture our nuclear imaging gamma cameras by employing a strategy that combines using internal manufacturing resources for devices requiring specific expertise due to our proprietary design coupled with qualified contract manufacturers. Mechanical and electronic components of our systems are produced by contract manufacturers, whereas the most complex components, final assembly and final system performance tests are performed at our facility. All of our suppliers of critical materials, components, and subassemblies undergo supplier qualifications and ongoing quality audits in accordance with our supplier quality process.

We and our contract manufacturers are subject to FDA Quality System Regulations, state regulations, and standards set by the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO. We are currently certified to the EN ISO 13485:2016 quality standard. We have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) 510(k) clearance for our complete nuclear imaging camera product line (Cardius® XPO, Cardius® X-ACT, and Ergo™ gamma cameras). In addition, the X-ACT camera utilizes an x-ray technology to provide attenuation correction information for the SPECT reconstruction. We also have received additional FDA clearance of our Ergo™ large-field-of-view General Purpose Imager for use in intraoperative and molecular breast imaging.

Building and Construction. KBS began manufacturing commercial modular multi-family housing units in 2008. In subsequent years, KBS expanded its product offerings to include a variety of commercial buildings including apartments, condominiums, townhouses, dormitories, hospitals, office buildings, and other structures. The structures are built inside our climate-controlled factories and are then transported to the site where they are set, assembled and secured on the foundation. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are inspected and tested in the factory, prior to transportation to the site, to ensure the modules meet all local building codes and quality requirements. Modular construction has gained increased acceptance and is a preferred method of building by many architects and general contractors. The advantages of modular construction include: modules are constructed in a climate-controlled environment; weather conditions usually do not interrupt or delay construction; the building is protected from weather, reducing the risk of mold due to materials absorbing moisture from rain or snow; reduced site work; improved safety and security; reduced vandalism and attrition, as the building is immediately secured; and a significant reduction in overall project time.

Having operated at below 50% capacity at our South Paris, Maine facility throughout 2019, we have rebuilt our sales team and embarked on a new strategy that broadens our target market beyond single-family residential installations, which typically involve producing three to four building modules per project. While we intend to continue to pursue and grow our residential modular building business, which provides us with positive margins and cash flow, we are also targeting large multi-family projects in the 25 to 100-building modules range.

EBGL consists of two separate companies (EdgeBuilder (EB) and Glenbrook (GL)) operating in tandem with a common management team. EdgeBuilder manufactures wall panels and permanent wood foundations (PWF) in a climate-controlled factory, then transports the panels to the construction site via flat-bed trucks. The panels are typically unloaded by crane and erected or assembled, on site, by professional framing contractors. Panelized construction, especially in large-scale, multi-unit projects, is becoming increasingly popular due to the heightened demand on construction labor. Additionally, because the wall panels are constructed in a controlled indoor environment, waste, weather related delays, and mistakes are minimized. This shaves weeks off large, multi-unit construction schedules, leaving room for more annual builds. Glenbrook fills in all the areas where EdgeBuilder leaves off, with Glenbrook’s vast offerings of professional building products. As International Building Code® continues to evolve, KBS and EBGL, along with our professional partners in the industry, meet code changes with innovative products and a dedicated staff for adherent builds.

Reimbursement for Digirad Health

 

All of ourDigirad Health customers typically rely primarily on the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private payors for reimbursement. As a result, demand for our products and services are dependent in part on the coverage and reimbursement policies of these payors. Third party coverage and reimbursement is subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign regulation, and private payor rules and policies. In many instances, the applicable regulations, policies, and rules have not been definitively interpreted by regulatory authorities or the courts, are open to a variety of interpretations, and are subject to change without notice.

 

The scope of coverage and payment policies vary among third-party private payors. For example, some payors will not reimburse a provider unless the provider has a contract with the payor, and in many instances such payors will not enter into such contracts without the approval of a third party “radiology benefit manager” that the payor compensates based on reducing the payor’s imaging expense. Other payors prohibit reimbursement unless physicians own or lease our cameras on a full-time basis, or meet certain accreditation or privileging standards. Such payor requirements and limitations can significantly restrict the types of business models we can successfully utilize.

 

Medicare reimbursement rules are subject to annual changes that may affect payment for services that our customers provide. In addition, Congress has passed healthcare reform proposals that are intended to expand the availability of healthcare coverage and reduce the growth in healthcare spending in the U.S. Many of these laws affect the services that our customers provide, and could change further over time.

 

Medicare reimbursement rules impose many standards and policies on the payment of services that our customers provide. For instance, physicians billing for the technical component of nuclear imaging tests must be accredited by a government-approved independent accreditation body and many private payors are adopting similar requirements. We offer our customers a service to assist them in obtaining and maintaining the required accreditation. We believe we have structured our contracts in a manner that allows our customers to seek reimbursement from third-party payors in compliance with Medicare reimbursement rules. Our physician customers typically bill for both the technical and professional components of the tests. Assuming they meet certain requirements including, but not limited to, performing and documenting bona fide interpretations and providing the requisite supervision of the non-physician personnel performing the tests, they may bill and be paid by Medicare. If the failure to comply is deemed to be “knowing” or “willful,” the government could seek to impose fines or penalties, and we may be required to restructure our agreements and/or respond to any resultant claims by such customers or the government. Our hospital customers typically seek reimbursement by Medicare for outpatient services under the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System.

 

Sales

 

We maintain separate sales organizations that are aligned with each of our business units, which operate independently but in cooperation with each other. Mobile Healthcare sales efforts are throughout the United States and Canada, though there typically is more effort expended in rural and smaller hospital areas, as these are the primary customers that we sell our services to and provide the most value. Diagnostic Services concentrates its efforts on twelve regional areas where the majority of our business is concentrated based on concentrations of people and cardiac disease. Diagnostic Imaging sales efforts are conducted throughout the United States and certain foreign countries, and are not concentrated to any particular region or area within the United States as the customer profile for this business can be at any hospital or physician practice. Diagnostic Services and Diagnostic Imaging, though separate sales teams, work collaboratively to help fulfill customer needs in either small practice mobile nuclear cardiac imaging services, or the potential to provide capital equipment sales should the customer decide to own the equipment in house.

In our building and construction division, KBS’s sales people also work with independent dealers, builders, and contractors to accurately configure and place orders for residential homes for their end customers. At KBS, we have two internal salespeople, two external salespeople and a Head of Business Development. KBS’s network of independent dealers and contractors do not work with it exclusively, although many have KBS model homes on display at their retail centers. KBS does not assign exclusive territories to its independent dealers and contractors, but they tend to sell in areas of New England where they will not be competing against another KBS dealer or contractor. EBGL markets its engineered structural wall panels and permanent wood foundation systems through direct sales people and a network of builders, contractors and developers in the Upper Midwest states. EBGL’s direct sales organization is responsible for both residential and commercial projects and it works with general contractors, developers and builders to provide bids and quotes for specific projects.

Recent Developments

 

Proposed AcquisitionCOVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of ATRM Holdings,a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. Governmental authorities in the states in which we operate issued social distancing orders, which orders have required businesses in subject jurisdictions to cease non-essential operations at physical locations in those locations, unless exempted, rescinded, or amended. Accordingly, to comply with applicable regulations and to safeguard the health and safety of our employees and customers, we have temporarily reduced our business operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we operated our business in the ordinary course. However, we experienced a $0.9 million decrease in revenue, as compared to the same period of the prior year, related to a decrease in our diagnostic services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on the results of other segments of our business during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we have taken steps to contain the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

On April 1, 2020, we announced that in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Matthew G. Molchan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, David J. Noble, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and Martin B. Shirley, the president of our Diagnostic Imaging Solutions Inc. subsidiary, have each agreed to have their base salaries reduced by 20%. These reductions were effective as of April 6, 2020, and will remain in effect until May 15, 2020, subject to extension or adjustment based on developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

On April 1, 2020, we also announced that in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we planned to furlough certain employees (without pay, but with our payment of health insurance) and that we would institute a 20% salary reduction for most of our salaried employees and reduce the number of working hours of most of our hourly employees by 20%. These reductions, which apply to our healthcare division, were effective as of April 6, 2020, and will remain in effect until May 15, 2020, subject to extension or adjustment developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our building and construction division has furloughed employees or reduced employee hours based on fluctuations in demand for our products. Many of these employees are expected to return to work within the next few weeks.

This partial disruption, although temporary, may impact our operations and overall business. The impact of COVID-19 is evolving rapidly and its future effects are uncertain. Given the uncertainty of the situation, the duration of the disruption and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

As described above,a result of the evolving impact of COVID-19 on September 10, 2018,the economy, on April 7, 2020, we announcedwithdrew our 2020 full-year guidance. At Digirad, our highest priority remains the safety, health and well-being of our employees, their families and our communities and we remain committed to serving the needs of our customers. The COVID-19 pandemic is a potential acquisitionhighly fluid situation and it is not currently possible for us to reasonably estimate the impact it may have on our financial and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the impact of ATRM. the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as we learn more and the impact of COVID-19 on our industry becomes clearer.

KBS Projects

As currently contemplated bywe transform Digirad into a multi-industry holding company, our largest near-term growth opportunity is to execute a successful turnaround of the non-binding letterKBS modular business that we acquired pursuant to the ATRM Merger. We own three modular building manufacturing facilities within a short distance from each other in Maine. Currently, we are operating one of intentthese facilities (our South Paris, Maine facility), leasing another to a third party and our remaining facility is idle but ready to bring on line when our production levels warrant additional capacity. Having operated at below 50% capacity at our South Paris facility throughout 2019, we have rebuilt our sales team and embarked on a new strategy that broadens our target market beyond single-family residential installations, which typically involve producing three to four building modules per project. While we intend to continue to pursue and grow our residential modular building business, which provides us with ATRM (the “LOI”), ATRM stockholders would receive consideration consisting of 0.4 shares of Digirad common stock for each share of outstanding ATRM common stockpositive margins and cash flow, we acquireare also targeting large multi-family projects in the ATRM Acquisition. The issuance25 to 100-building modules range.

Having produced approximately 230 building modules in 2019, we are in advanced discussions for various large commercial construction projects for the New England market. Even if just a few of Digirad common stockthese projects are awarded, they will require a significantly higher utilization rate for KBS’s manufacturing plant in connection withSouth Paris, Maine and an increased investment in working capital. Three of these projects (the “KBS Projects”) are in the ATRM Acquisition isadvanced stages of negotiation and are expected to increase the number of shares of outstanding Digirad common stock by less than 5%. Proceeding with the ATRM Acquisition is subject to, among other things, ATRM becoming current with its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation. The ATRM Acquisition has been approved by a special committee of independent directors of ATRM. The final terms of the ATRM Acquisition are subject to change depending on the outcome of our due diligence investigation and may differ from those reflectedstart production in the LOI,coming months. Each of these projects involve construction of additional housing units in New England. These three projects alone are expected to generate revenue of over $10 million for KBS and thereresult in the production of nearly 250 building modules. For comparison, in 2019, KBS generated approximately $12 million of revenue and produced approximately 230 building modules, entirely for the residential market. We believe KBS’s South Paris, Maine plant is capable of producing between 500 and 600 building modules per year at full capacity. KBS’ current potential sales pipeline totals more than $50 million, representing production of approximately 1,000 building modules. If KBS grows as expected in 2020, it will explore re-opening its Oxford, Maine plant, which we believe is capable of producing an additional 500 to 600 building modules per year at full capacity. KBS will also explore other add-on revenue streams, such as manufacturing structural wall panels for the New England market, as we are currently doing in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. Our goal with these growth initiatives is to generate significantly higher revenue, cash flow, and earnings for our building and construction division, creating new jobs and supporting local economic activity. While we anticipate securing the contracts for the KBS Projects, we can beprovide no assurance that we will be awarded the KBS Projects, or that we will be able to successfully complete the ATRM AcquisitionKBS Projects or achieve the HoldCo Conversion.anticipated revenues from the KBS Projects if they are awarded to KBS.

Receipt of Nasdaq Notification

On January 8, 2019, we received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department stating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the prior 30 consecutive business days, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), and as indicated in the Letter, we have 180 calendar days, or until July 8, 2019, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. The Letter further provided that if at any time during this 180-day period, the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide us with written confirmation of compliance with the minimum bid price rule and the matter will be closed.

If we do not regain compliance by July 8, 2019, we may transfer from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market and may be eligible for an additional compliance period of 180 days. To qualify for the additional compliance period, we will have to: (i) submit a transfer application and related application fees; (ii) meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the bid price requirement); and (iii) provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the additional 180-day compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If we do not qualify for an additional compliance period, or should we determine not to submit a transfer application or make the required representation, or if Nasdaq concludes that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, Nasdaq will provide written notice to us that our common stock will be subject to delisting. Nasdaq rules permit us to appeal any delisting determination by Nasdaq to a hearings panel.

On March 8, 2019, our board of directors unanimously approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-10 at any time within 12 months following the date of stockholder approval of the reverse stock split, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by our board of directors at its sole discretion, and a reduction of the number of authorized shares of common stock to 30 million shares authorized (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Our board of directors may alternatively elect to abandon such proposed amendment and not effect the Reverse Stock Split authorized by stockholders, in its sole discretion. As proposed to our stockholders, our board of directors will have 12 months following stockholder approval to implement the Reverse Stock Split, and if we implement the Reverse Stock Split to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the July 8, 2019 deadline, we must complete the Reverse Split no later than ten business days prior to such deadline. The Reverse Stock Split (which includes the reduction of the number of authorized shares of common stock), if approved by our stockholders, would become effective at the time and date set forth in a certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The form of the proposed certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split is attached as Appendix A to our preliminary proxy statement filed on March 8, 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

The following non-GAAP (defined below) financial measures are intended to supplement the GAAP financial information by providing additional insight regarding results of operations of the Company. The non-GAAP EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA financial measures used by the Company are intended to provide an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the Company’s business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. Certain items are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional comparability measures from period to period. Specifically, the table below presents the non-GAAP financial measure “EBITDA” (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization) and “Adjusted EBITDA” (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization adjusted for stock-based compensation and other one-time transaction costs such as mergers and acquisitions, financings and other extraordinary items), respectively. The most directly comparable measures for these non-GAAP financial measure are net income and diluted net income per share. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and operating results.

We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other businesses which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures because they normalize operating results by excluding non-recurring gains, losses and other items and help to demonstrate how much cash we are able to generate annually. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate IBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.

Our management does not consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Some of these limitations are:

11a.EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

b.EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

c.EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

d.although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

e.EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

f.other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplements. You should review the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Shares of Our Series A Preferred Stock

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities.

In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our affairs, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the Series A Preferred Stock only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been paid. The rights of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to participate in the distribution of our assets will rank junior to the prior claims of our current and future creditors and any future series or class of preferred stock we may issue that ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Also, the Series A Preferred Stock effectively ranks junior to all existing and future indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. Our existing subsidiaries are, and future subsidiaries would be, separate legal entities and have no legal obligation to pay any amounts to us in respect of dividends due on the Series A Preferred Stock.

We have incurred and may in the future incur substantial amounts of debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2018, our total liabilities equaled approximately $24.8 million, including $9.5 million owed under a $20 million commercial revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank (“Comerica Credit Facility”). If we are forced to liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

We may not be able to pay dividends onhave significant discretion over the Series A Preferred Stock if we fall outuse of compliance with our loan covenants.the net proceeds from this offering.

 

Our net proceeds from this offering are expected to be approximately $[●] million, assuming no exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. We intend to use approximately $[●] of the net proceeds from this offering to fund the KBS Projects (three modular housing projects to be constructed in New England pursuant to federal and state governmental contracts), and the remainder (if any) for working capital and for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. As is the case with any business, it should be expected that certain expenses unforeseeable to management at this juncture will arise in the future. There can be no assurance that management’s use of proceeds generated through this offering will prove optimal or translate into revenue or profitability for the Company. Investors are currently ableurged to pay dividends underconsult with their attorneys, accountants and personal investment advisors prior to making any decision to invest in the restrictive covenants underCompany.

Even if this offering is successful, we may need to raise additional capital in the future to continue operations, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital if needed may have an adverse impact on our business and operations.

While we had net income of approximately $0.74 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, we had a net loss of approximately $4.63 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately $2.56 per share for the year ended December 31, 2019. We may incur additional net losses in the future, and we may experience quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenues, expenses, and losses, some of which may be significant.

Assuming all shares offered by this prospectus are sold, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $[●] million from the sale of common stock offered by us in this offering, based on the assumed public offering price of $[●] per share (the last reported sale price of our credit agreement with Comerica Bank (the “Comerica Credit Agreement”).common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on [●], 2020), and after deducting the estimated underwriting fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. In the event of a decrease in the net proceeds to us from this offering as a result of a decrease in the assumed public offering price per share or the number of shares offered by us, we may need to scale back or eliminate certain of our business plans or to raise additional capital sooner than we anticipate. However, we may not be able to pay dividendsraise additional funds on the Series A Preferred Stock if we fall out of compliance with our loan covenants and are prohibited by our bank lender from paying dividends.

The Comerica Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and a Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (each as definedacceptable terms, or at all. Conditions in the Comerica Credit Agreement). The Comerica Credit Agreement limitscapital markets and the financial services industry may make equity and debt financing more difficult to obtain, and may negatively impact our ability to pay dividends,complete financing transactions. Any debt financing, if there is insufficient cash generationavailable, may involve restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.


We face risks related to health pandemics and other widespread outbreaks of contagious disease, including the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, which could significantly disrupt our operations and impact our financial results.

Our business has been disrupted and could be materially adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate. The future progression of the outbreak and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, including downturns in global economies and financial markets that could affect our future operating results. Any adverse impact on our results and financial condition could have a negative impact on our ability to comply with certain financial covenants in certain of our business to satisfyloan agreements (as described further below) and on your investment in our required financial covenants, or if there is a default or event of default under the Comerica Credit Agreement that has occurred and is continuing. In such a circumstance, the Company would be required to reduce or eliminate its quarterly cash dividend until compliance with the financial covenants can be met.common stock.

However, a trading market for the Series A Preferred Stock may not develop or be maintained and may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.

We may not be able to achieve the anticipated synergies and benefits from business acquisitions.

 

Part of our business strategy is to acquire businesses that we believe can complement or expand our current business activities, both financially and strategically. On January 1, 2016, weSeptember 10, 2019, Digirad acquired PRHCATRM and its subsidiaries, including DMS Health Technologies, Inc. (“DMS Health”),KBS, EdgeBuilder and Glenbrook with these synergistic benefits in mind. Previously, weDigirad acquired PRHC and its subsidiaries, (including DMS Heath) on January 1, 2016; MD Office on March 5, 2015,2015; and Telerhythmics on March 13, 2014, which weDigirad subsequently sold on October 31, 2018. Acquisitions involve many complexities, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the acquired business’' past activities, loss of customers, regulatory changes that are not anticipated, difficulties in integrating personnel and human resource programs, integrating ERP systems and other infrastructures, general under performanceunderperformance of the business under ourDigirad control versus the prior owners, unanticipated expenses and liabilities, and the impact on ourits internal controls andof compliance with the regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There is no guarantee that ourits acquisitions will increase ourthe profitability and cash flow of Digirad, and ourits efforts could cause unforeseen complexities and additional cash outflows, including financial losses. As a result, the realization of anticipated synergies or benefits from acquisitions may be delayed or substantially reduced, and could potentially result in the impairment of ourits investment in these businesses.

We conduct certain operations through a joint venture and may enter into additional joint venturesare subject to particular risks associated with real estate ownership, which could result in the future. We may not be able to achieve anticipated benefits from joint ventures and disagreements with joint venture partners could adversely affect our interest in the joint ventures and lead to an unwinding of joint ventures.unanticipated losses or expenses.

On December 14, 2018,

Following our recent acquisition of real estate, our business is subject to many risks that are associated with the ownership of real estate. For example, if our tenants do not renew their leases or default on their leases, we and ATRM entered into a joint venture and formed Star Procurement, LLC (“Star Procurement”), with us and ATRM each holding a 50% interest. We may enter into additional joint ventures in the future. Joint ventures involve many complexities and there is no guarantee that our joint ventures will increase our profitability and cash flow. Our efforts could also cause unforeseen complexities and additional cash outflows, including financial losses. As a result, the realization of anticipated benefits from joint ventures may be delayed or substantially reduced.

Additionally, joint venture partners may have interestsunable to re-lease the facilities at favorable rental rates. Other risks that are different from ours, which may result in conflicting views as toassociated with real estate acquisition and ownership include, without limitation, the conduct of the business of the joint venture. In the event that we have a disagreement with a joint venture partner as to the resolution of a particular issue to come before the joint venture, or as to the management or conduct of the business of the joint venture in general, we may not be able to resolve such disagreement in our favor and such disagreement could have a material adverse effect on our interest in the joint venture or the business of the joint venture in general.following:

general liability, property and casualty losses, some of which may be uninsured;

the inability to purchase or sell our assets rapidly to respond to changing economic conditions, due to the illiquid nature of real estate and the real estate market;

leases which are not renewed or are renewed at lower rental amounts at expiration;


the default by a tenant or guarantor under any lease;

costs relating to maintenance and repair of our facilities and the need to make expenditures due to changes in governmental regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act;

environmental hazards created by prior owners or occupants, existing tenants, mortgagors or other persons for which we may be liable;

acts of God affecting our properties; and

acts of terrorism affecting our properties.

 

Our revenues may decline due to reductions in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates.

 

The success of our business is largely dependent upon our medical professional customers’ ability to provide diagnostic care to their patients in an economically sustainable manner, either through the purchase of our imaging systems or using our diagnostic services, or both. Our customers are directly impacted by changes (decreases and increases) in governmental and private payor reimbursements for diagnostic services. We are directly and indirectly impacted by changes in reimbursements. In our businesses, where we are indirectly affected by reimbursement changes, we make every effort to act as business partners with our physician customers. For example, in 2010, we proactively adjusted our diagnostic imaging services rates down due to the dramatic reimbursement declines that our customers experienced from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Reimbursements remain a source of concern for our customers and downward pressure on reimbursements causes greater pricing pressure on our services and influences the buying decisions of our customers. Although the gap is closing, hospital reimbursements remain higher than in-office reimbursements. Our Diagnostic Imaging segment’s products are targeted to serve the hospital market. A smaller portion of our Diagnostic Services business segment operates in the hospital market.

 

Reductions in reimbursements could significantly impact the viability of in-office imaging performed by independent physicians, as well as the viability of our cardiac event monitoring services business. The historical decline in reimbursements in diagnostic imaging has resulted in cancellations of imaging days in our Diagnostic Services business and the delay of purchase and service decisions by our existing and prospective customers in our Diagnostic Imaging business.

 

Our Diagnostic Services revenues may decline due to changes in diagnostic imaging regulations and the use of third party benefit managers by states and private payors to drive down diagnostic imaging volumes.

 

Nuclear medicine is a “designated health service” under the federal physician self-referral prohibition law known as the “Stark Law,” which states that a physician may not refer designated health services to an entity with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship, unless a statutory exception applies. Our business model and service agreements are structured to enable our physician customers to meet the statutory in-office ancillary services (“IOAS”) exception to the Stark Law, allowing them to perform nuclear diagnostic imaging services on their patients in the convenience of their own office. From time-to-time, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Congress have proposed to modify the IOAS to further limit or eliminate this exception. Various lobbying organizations, including the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (“MedPAC”), in the past have pushed for, discussed, and recommended that Congress limit the availability of the IOAS exception in order to reduce federal healthcare costs. Legislation has been introduced in prior Congresses to modify or eliminate the exception, but has not been enacted. The outcome of these efforts is uncertain at this time; however, the limitation or elimination of the IOAS exception could significantly impact our Diagnostic Services business segment as currently structured.

Our customers who perform imaging services in their office also experience the continuing efforts by some private insurance companies to reduce healthcare expenditures by hiring radiology benefit managers to help them manage and limit imaging. The federal government has also set aside monies in the 2009 recession recovery acts to hire radiology benefit managers to provide image management services to Medicare/Medicaid and MedPAC has recommended and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has, in the past, proposed legislation requiring Medicare physicians who engage in a relatively high volume of medical imaging be required to obtain pre-authorization through a radiology benefit manager. A radiology benefit manager is an unregulated entity that performs various functions for private payors and managed care organizations. Radiology benefit manager activities can include pre-authorization for imaging procedures, setting and enforcing standards, approving which contracted physicians can perform the services, such as requiring even the most experienced and highly qualified cardiologists to obtain additional board certifications, or interfering with the financial decision of the private practitioner by requiring them to own their own imaging system and not allowing them to lease the system. The radiology benefit managers often do not provide written documentation of their decisions or an appeals process, leaving leasing physicians unable to challenge their decisions with the carrier or the state insurance department. Unregulated radiology benefit manager activities have and could continue to adversely affect our physician customers'customers’ ability to receive reimbursement, therefore impacting our customers’ decision to utilize our Diagnostic Services imaging services.

 


Manufacturing and providing service for our nuclear imaging cameras is highly dependent upon the availability of certain suppliers, thereby making us vulnerable to supply problems that could harm our business.

 

Our manufacturing process within Diagnostic Imaging, and our warranty and post-warranty camera support business, rely on a limited number of third parties to supply certain key components and manufacture our products. Alternative sources of production and supply may not be readily available or may take several months to scale-up and develop effective production processes. If a disruption in the availability of parts or in the operations of our suppliers were to occur, our ability to have gamma cameras built as well as our ability to provide support could be materially adversely affected. In certain cases, we have developed backup plans and have alternative procedures should we experience a disruption. However, if these plans are unsuccessful or if we have a single source, delays in the production and support of our gamma cameras for an extended period of time could cause a loss of revenue and/or higher production and support costs, which could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

 

Our Diagnostic Services and portions of our Mobile Healthcare operations are highly dependent upon the availability of certain radiopharmaceuticals, thereby making us vulnerable to supply problems and price fluctuations that could harm our business.

 

Both our Diagnostic Service business and portions of our Mobile Healthcare business involve the use of radiopharmaceuticals. There is a limited number of major nuclear reactors supplying medical radiopharmaceuticals worldwide and there is no guarantee that the reactors will remain in good repair or that our supplier will have continuing access to ample supply of our radiopharmaceutical product. If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of the necessary radiopharmaceuticals, we may be unable to utilize our personnel and equipment through our in-office service operations, or the volume of our services could decline and our business may be adversely affected. Shortages can also cause price increases that may not be accounted for in third party reimbursement rates, thereby causing us to lose margin or require us to pass increases on to our physician customers.

 

Our business is not widely diversified.

We currently provide our mobile diagnostic services and sell our products primarily into the cardiac nuclear and ultrasound imaging private practice, in-office markets and hospitals. We may not be able to leverage our assets and technology to diversify our products and services in order to generate revenue beyond these. If we are unable to diversify our product and service offerings, our financial condition may suffer.

We compete against businesses that have greater resources and different competitive strengths.

 

The market for mobile diagnostic services and diagnostic imaging systems is limited and has experienced some declines in the past. Some of our competitors have greater resources and a more diverse product offering than we do. Some of our competitors also enjoy significant advantages over us, including greater brand recognition, greater financial and technical resources, established relationships with healthcare professionals, larger distribution networks, and greater resources for product development and capital expenditures, as well as more extensive marketing and sales resources. If we are unable to expand our current market share, our revenues and related financial condition could decline.

Our quarterly and annual financial results are difficult to predict and are likely to fluctuate from period to period.

 

We have historically experienced seasonality in all of our businesses, volatility due to the changing healthcare environment, the variable supply of radiopharmaceuticals, and downturns based on the changing U.S. economy. While our customers are typically obligated to pay us for imaging days to which they have committed, our contracts permit some flexibility in scheduling when services are to be performed. We cannot predict with certainty the degree to which seasonal circumstances such as the summer slowdown, winter holiday vacations, and weather conditions may affect the results of our operations. We have also experienced fluctuations in demand of our diagnostic imaging product sales due to economic conditions, capital budget availability, and other financial or business reasons. In addition, due to the way that customers in our target markets acquire our products, a large percentage of our products are booked during the last month of each quarterly accounting period, and often there can be a large amount in the last month of the year. As such, a delivery delay of only a few days may significantly impact quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations. Moreover, the sales cycle for all of our capital products is typically lengthy, particularly in the hospital market, which may cause us to experience significant revenue fluctuations.

 


We spend considerable time and money complying with federal and state laws, regulations, and other rules, and if we are unable to fully comply with such laws, regulations, and other rules, we could face substantial penalties.

 

We are directly, or indirectly through our customers, subject to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business, including: the federal Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback laws and other Medicare laws, regulations, rules, manual provisions, and policies that prescribe requirements for coverage and payment for services performed by us and our physician customers; the federal False Claims statutes; the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended in 2009 under the HITECH Act that places direct legal obligations and higher liability on us with respect to the security and handling of personal health information; the Stark Law; the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; federal and state radioactive materials laws; state food and drug and pharmacy laws and regulations; state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine by non-physicians and fee-splitting arrangements between physicians and non-physicians; state scope-of-practice laws; and federal rules prohibiting the mark-up of diagnostic tests to Medicare under certain circumstances. If our customers are unable or unwilling to comply with these statutes, regulations, rules, and policies, rates of our services and products could decline and our business could be harmed. Additionally, new government mandates will require us to provide a certain baseline of health benefits and premium contribution for our employees and their families or pay governmental penalties. Some of these costs are not tax deductible. We have opted to provide this coverage to our employee base in order to maintain retention of qualified medical technicians and other professionals rather than plan to pay penalties to the government. Either option will result in additional costs to us and could negatively impact our cash reserves.

 

We maintain a compliance program to identify and correct any compliance issues and remain in compliance with all applicable laws, to train employees, to audit and monitor our operations, and to achieve other compliance goals. Like most companies with compliance programs, we occasionally discover compliance concerns. In such cases, we take responsive action, including corrective measures when necessary. There can be no assurance that our responsive actions will insulate us from liability associated with any detected compliance concerns.

 

If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws, regulations, rules, or policies described above or the other laws or regulations to which we or our customers are subject, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from federal or state healthcare programs, or the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Similarly, if our physician customers are found to be non-compliant with applicable laws, they may be subject to sanctions whichthat could have a negative impact on us. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment, or restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management'smanagement’s attention from the operation of our business, and damage our reputation. Although compliance programs can mitigate the risk of investigation and prosecution for violations of these laws, regulations, rules, and policies, the risks cannot be entirely eliminated. Moreover, achieving and sustaining compliance with applicable federal and state privacy, security, and fraud laws may prove costly.

Healthcare policy changes could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

In response to perceived increases in healthcare costs in recent years, there have been and continue to be proposals by the federal government, state governments, regulators, and third-party payers to control these costs and, more generally, to reform the U.S. healthcare system. Certain of these proposals could limit the prices we are able to charge for our products or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products, and could limit the acceptance and availability of our products. The adoption of some or all of these proposals could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 


Any intrusions or attacks on our information technology infrastructure could impact our ability to conduct operations and could subject us to fines, penalties, and lawsuits related to healthcare privacy laws.

 

The operation of our business includes use of complex information technology infrastructures, access to the information technology networks of our customers, as well as the collection of storing of patient information that is subject to HIPAA. In recent years, attacks on corporate information technology infrastructures have become more common and more sophisticated. Attacks can range from attempts that are routinely blocked by security and related infrastructure, to intrusions that disrupt activity temporarily, to extensive intrusions that severely impact or disable a network, including “ransom” wareransomware that holds a network hostage until the impacted company pays a fee to the attacker. Further, attacks can specifically impact patient information stored on such networks, requiring a widespread notice to the affected population, which can be very costly. Any successful attack on our network could severely impact our ability to conduct operations and could result in lost customers. Though we carry customary insurance for notification events in the event of a patient information breach under HIPAA, our coverage may not be sufficient to cover every situation, and any notification could severely impact our customer confidence and operations.

 

We are subject to risks associated with self-insurance related to health benefits.

 

To help control our overall long-term costs associated with employee health benefits, we are self-insured up to certain limits for our health plans. As such, we are subject to risks associated with self-insurance of these health plan benefits. To limit our exposure, we have third party stop-loss insurance coverage for both individual and aggregate claim costs. However, we could still experience unforeseen and potentially significant fluctuations in our healthcare costs based on a higher than expected volume of claims below these stop-loss levels. These fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

A portion of our operations are located in a facility that may be at risk from fire, earthquakes, or other disasters.

 

Final assembly in our manufacturing process and significant portions of our inventory are located in a single facility in Poway, California, near known fire areas and earthquake fault zones. Future natural disasters could cause substantial delays in our operations and cause us to incur additional expenses. Although we have taken precautions to insure our facilities and continuing operations, as well as provide for offsite back-up of our information systems, this may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case. A disaster could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

The medical device industry is litigious, which could result in the diversion of our management’s time and efforts, and require us to incur expenses and pay damages that may not be covered by our insurance.

Our operations entail risks of claims or litigation relating to product liability, radioactive contamination, patent infringement, trade secret disclosure, warranty claims, vendor disputes, product recalls, property damage, misdiagnosis, breach of contract, personal injury, and death. Any litigation or claims against us, or claims we bring against others, may cause us to incur substantial costs, could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of our management from our core business, and harm our reputation. We may incur significant liability in the event of any such litigation, regardless of the merit of the action. If we are unable to obtain insurance, or if our insurance is inadequate to cover claims, our cash reserves and other assets could be negatively impacted. Additionally, costs associated with maintaining our insurance could become prohibitively expensive, and our ability to become or remain profitable could be diminished.

 

If we cannot provide quality technical and applications support, we could lose customers and our business and prospects will suffer.

 

The placement of our products and the introduction of our technology at new customer sites requires the services of highly trained technical support personnel. Hiring technical support personnel is very competitive in our industry due to the limited number of people available with the necessary scientific and technical backgrounds and ability to understand our technology at a technical level. To effectively support potential new customers and the expanding needs of current customers, we will need to expand our technical support staff. If we are unable to attract, train or retain the number of highly qualified technical services personnel that our business needs, our business and prospects will suffer.

 


Our long-term results depend upon our ability to improve existing products and services and introduce and market new products and services successfully.

 

Our business is dependent on the continued improvement of our existing products and services and our development of new products and services utilizing our current or other potential future technology. As we introduce new products and services or refine, improve or upgrade versions of existing products and services, we cannot predict the level of market acceptance or the amount of market share these products and services will achieve, if any. We cannot assure you that we will not experience material delays in the introduction of new products or services in the future.

 

We generally sell our products and services in industries that are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and changing industry standards. If we do not develop new products and services and product enhancements based on technological innovation on a timely basis, our products and services may become obsolete over time and our revenues, cash flow, profitability and competitive position may suffer. Our success will depend on several factors, including our ability to:

 

·correctly identify customer needs and preferences and predict future needs and preferences;

·allocate our research and development funding to products and services with higher growth prospects;

·anticipate and respond to our competitors’ development of new products, services, and technological innovations;

·innovate and develop new technologies and applications, and acquire or obtain rights to third-party technologies that may have valuable applications in the markets we serve;

recruit, train, retain, motivate, and integrate key personnel, including our research and development, manufacturing, and sales and marketing personnel; and

·successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner, price them competitively and manufacture and deliver sufficient volumes of new products of appropriate quality on time.

 

Even if we successfully innovate and develop new products, services and product enhancements, we may incur substantial costs in doing so, and our profitability may suffer.

27

Table of Contents 

If we do not successfully manage the development and launch of new products and services, our financial results could be adversely affected.

 

We may face risks associated with launching new products and services. If we encounter development or manufacturing challenges or discover errors during our product development cycle, the product launch dates of new products and services may be delayed. The expenses or losses associated with unsuccessful product development or launch activities or lack of market acceptance of our new products and services could adversely affect our business or financial condition.

 

Undetected errors or defects in our products could harm our reputation or decrease market acceptance of our products.

 

Our products may contain undetected errors or defects when first introduced or as new versions or new products are released. Disruptions affecting the introduction or release of, or other performance problems with, our products may damage our customers’ businesses and could harm their and our reputation. If that occurs, we may incur significant costs, the attention of our key personnel could be diverted, or other significant customer relations problems may arise. We may also be subject to warranty and liability claims for damages related to errors or defects in our products. In addition, if we do not meet industry or quality standards, if applicable, our products may be subject to recall. A material liability claim, recall, or other occurrence that harms our reputation or decreases market acceptance of our products could harm our business and operating results.

 


Our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology through patents and other means is uncertain.

 

We rely on patent protection as well as trademark, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights protection and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary technologies, all of which provide limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary rights to the technologies used in our products. If we fail to protect and/or maintain our intellectual property, third parties may be able to compete more effectively against us, we may lose our technological or competitive advantage, and/or we may incur substantial litigation costs in our attempts to recover or restrict use of our intellectual property.

 

We do not have any pending patent applications. We cannot assure investors that we will continue to innovate and file new patent applications, or that if filed any future patent applications will result in granted patents. Further, we cannot predict how long it will take for such patents to issue, if at all. It is possible that, for any of our patents that have issued or that may issue in the future, our competitors may design their products around our patented technologies. Further, we cannot assure investors that other parties will not challenge any patents granted to us, or that courts or regulatory agencies will hold our patents to be valid, enforceable, and/or infringed. We cannot guarantee investors that we will be successful in defending challenges made against our patents and patent applications. Any successful third-party challenge or challenges to our patents could result in the unenforceability or invalidity of such patents, or such patents being interpreted narrowly and/or in a manner adverse to our interests. Our ability to establish or maintain a technological or competitive advantage over our competitors and/or market entrants may be diminished because of these uncertainties. For these and other reasons, our intellectual property may not provide us with any competitive advantage. For example:

 

·we may not have been the first to make the inventions claimed or disclosed in our issued patents;

·we may not have been the first to file patent applications for these inventions. To determine the priority of these inventions, we may have to participate in interference proceedings or derivation proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), which could result in substantial cost to us, and could possibly result in a loss or narrowing of patent rights. No assurance can be given that our granted patents will have priority over any other patent or patent application involved in such a proceeding, or will be held valid as an outcome of the proceeding;

28

Table of Contents

·other parties may independently develop similar or alternative products and technologies or duplicate any of our products and technologies, which can potentially impact our market share, revenue, and goodwill, regardless of whether intellectual property rights are successfully enforced against these other parties;

·it is possible that our issued patents may not provide intellectual property protection of commercially viable products or product features, may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be challenged and invalidated by third parties, patent offices, and/or the courts;

·we may be unaware of or unfamiliar with prior art and/or interpretations of prior art that could potentially impact the validity or scope of our patents or patent applications that we may to file;

·we take efforts and enter into agreements with employees, consultants, collaborators, and advisors to confirm ownership and chain of title in intellectual property rights. However, an inventorship or ownership dispute could arise that may permit one or more third parties to practice or enforce our intellectual property rights, including possible efforts to enforce rights against us;

·we may elect not to maintain or pursue intellectual property rights that, at some point in time, may be considered relevant to or enforceable against a competitor;

·we may not develop additional proprietary products and technologies that are patentable, or we may develop additional proprietary products and technologies that are not patentable;

·the patents or other intellectual property rights of others may have an adverse effect on our business; and

·we apply for patents relating to our products and technologies and uses thereof, as we deem appropriate. However, we or our representatives or their agents may fail to apply for patents on important products and technologies in a timely fashion or at all, or we or our representatives or their agents may fail to apply for patents in potentially relevant jurisdictions.

 


To the extent our intellectual property offers inadequate protection, or is found to be invalid or unenforceable, we would be exposed to a greater risk of direct or indirect competition. If our intellectual property does not provide adequate coverage of our competitors’ products, our competitive position could be adversely affected, as could our business.

 

The measures that we use to protect the security of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights may not be adequate, which could result in the loss of legal protection for, and thereby diminish the value of, such intellectual property and other rights.

 

In addition to pursuing patents on our technology, we also rely upon trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and unfair competition laws, as well as license agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated. In addition, we take steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, corporate partners and, when needed, our advisors. Such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets and/or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, and we may not be able to prevent such unauthorized disclosure. Moreover, if a party having an agreement with us has an overlapping or conflicting obligation to a third party, our rights in and to certain intellectual property could be undermined. Monitoring unauthorized and inadvertent disclosure is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to prevent such disclosure are, or will be, adequate. If we were to enforce a claim that a third party had illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets, it would be expensive and time consuming, the outcome would be unpredictable, and any remedy may be inadequate.

29

Table of Contents 

In addition, competitors could purchase our products and attempt to replicate and/or improve some or all of the competitive advantages we derive from our development efforts, willfully infringe our intellectual property rights, design their products around our protected technology or develop their own competitive technologies that fall outside of our intellectual property rights. If our intellectual property does not adequately protect our market share against competitors’ products and methods, our competitive position could be adversely affected, as could our business.

 

We may need to enter into license agreements in the future.

 

We may need or may choose to obtain licenses and/or acquire intellectual property rights from third parties to advance our research or commercialization of our current or future products, and we cannot provide any assurances that third-party patents do not exist that might be enforced against our current or future products in the absence of such a license. We may fail to obtain any of these licenses or intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms. Even if we are able to obtain a license, it may be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us. In that event, we may be required to expend significant time and resources to develop or license replacement technology. If we are unable to do so, we may be unable to develop or commercialize the affected products, which could materially harm our business and the third parties owning such intellectual property rights could seek either an injunction prohibiting our sales, or, with respect to our sales, an obligation on our part to pay royalties and/or other forms of compensation.

 

If we are sued for infringing intellectual property rights of third parties, it would be costly and time consuming, and an unfavorable outcome in that litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our success also depends on our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products and perform our services without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Numerous U.S. issued patents and pending patent applications owned by third parties exist in the fields in which we are developing products and services. As part of a business strategy to impede our successful commercialization and entry into new markets, competitors may allege that our products and/or services infringe their intellectual property rights.

 

We could incur substantial costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel in defending ourselves against claims of infringement made by third parties. Any adverse ruling by a court or administrative body, or perception of an adverse ruling, may have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct our business and our finances. Moreover, third parties making claims against us may be able to obtain injunctive relief against us, which could block our ability to offer one or more products or services and could result in a substantial award of damages against us. Intellectual property litigation can be very expensive, and we may not have the financial means to defend ourselves.

 


Because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be pending applications, some of which are unknown to us, that may result in issued patents upon which our products or proprietary technologies may infringe. Moreover, we may fail to identify issued patents of relevance or incorrectly conclude that an issued patent is invalid or not infringed by our technology or any of our products. If a third-party claims that we infringe upon a third-party’s intellectual property rights, we may have to:

 

·seek to obtain licenses that may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all;

·abandon any product alleged or held to infringe, or redesign our products or processes to avoid potential assertion of infringement;

30

Table of Contents

·pay substantial damages including, in exceptional cases, treble damages and attorneys’ fees, which we may have to pay if a court decides that the product or proprietary technology at issue infringes upon or violates the third-party’s rights;

·pay substantial royalties or fees or grant cross-licenses to our technology; or

·defend litigation or administrative proceedings that may be costly whether we win or lose, and which could result in a substantial diversion of our financial and management resources.

 

Our issued patents could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court or at the Patent Office or other administrative agency, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

 

Any patents we have obtained or do obtain may be challenged by re-examination or otherwise invalidated or eventually found unenforceable. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time consuming and expensive. If we were to initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent related to one of our products or services, the defendant in such litigation could counterclaim that our patent is invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the U.S., defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace, as are validity challenges by the defendant against the subject patent or other patents before the USPTO. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness or non-enablement, failure to meet the written description requirement, indefiniteness, and/or failure to claim patent eligible subject matter. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent intentionally withheld material information from the USPTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. Additional grounds for an unenforceability assertion include an allegation of misuse or anticompetitive use of patent rights, and an allegation of incorrect inventorship with deceptive intent. Third parties may also raise similar claims before the USPTO even outside the context of litigation. The outcome is unpredictable following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability. With respect to the validity question, for example, we cannot be certain that no invalidating prior art existed of which we and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. These assertions may also be based on information known to us or the Patent Office. If a defendant or third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity and/or unenforceability, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the claims of the challenged patent. Such a loss of patent protection would or could have a material adverse impact on our business.

 

We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.

 

Competitors may attempt to challenge or invalidate our patents, or may be able to design alternative techniques or devices that avoid infringement of our patents that have issued or that may issue in the future, or develop products with functionalities that are comparable to ours. In the event a competitor infringes upon our patent or other intellectual property rights, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge, even if successful, could be expensive and time consuming and could require significant time and attention from our management. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenges from others.

 


An adverse result in any such litigation proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated, being found to be unenforceable, and/or being interpreted narrowly and could impact the validity or enforceability positions of our other patents. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, an adverse outcome in such litigation or proceedings may expose us to loss of our proprietary position, expose us to significant liabilities, or require us to seek licenses that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

We may make financial investments in other businesses that may lose value.

 

As we look for the best ways to deploy our capital and maximize our returns for our businesses and stockholders,shareholders, we may make financial investments in other businesses or processes for purposes of enhancing our supply chain, creating financial returns, strategic developments, or other purposes. These investments may be speculative in nature, and there is no guarantee that we will experience a financial return and we may lose our entire principal balance if not successful.

 

Our mobile healthcare fleet is highly utilized; any downtime in our assets could have a material impact on our revenues and costs.

 

Our Mobile Healthcare business unit utilizes a fleet of highly sophisticated imaging and related transportation assets that require nearly 100% uptime to service our customer needs. Though we utilize an array of highly competent service providers to support our imaging fleet, imaging and related transportation machines can experience unproductive downtime. Any downtime of our imaging fleet could have near term impacts on our revenues and underlying costs.

 

Our goodwill and other long-lived assets are subject to potential impairment whichthat could negatively impact our earnings.

 

A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill and other long-lived assets, the carrying value of which may be reduced if we determine that those assets are impaired. At December 31, 2018,2019, goodwill and net intangible assets represented $7.0$32.9 million, or 13.8%36.3% of our total assets. In addition, net property, plant and equipment assets totaled $21.6$22.1 million, or 42.8%24.4% of our total assets. If actual results differ from the assumptions and estimates used in our goodwill and long-lived asset valuation calculations, we could incur impairment charges, which could negatively impact our earnings.

 

We review our reporting units for potential goodwill impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In addition, we test the recoverability of long-lived assets if events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. We conduct impairment testing based on our current business strategy in light of present industry and economic conditions, as well as future expectations. There are numerous risks that may cause the fair value of a reporting unit to fall below its carrying amount and/or the value of long-lived assets to not be recoverable, which could lead to the measurement and recognition of goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment. These risks include, but are not limited to, significant negative variances between actual and expected financial results, lowered expectations of future financial results, failure to realize anticipated synergies from acquisitions, adverse changes in the business climate, and the loss of key personnel. If we are not able to achieve projected performance levels, future impairments could be possible, which could negatively impact our earnings.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company derecognized $1.1 million of goodwill related to the termination of the Philips Agreements with DMS Health effective December 31, 2017. DuringAdditionally, during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,same period, the Company recorded a $0.5 million and $0.2 million goodwill impairment loss, respectively, related to Telerhythmics LLC (Telerhythmics), the Company’s cardiac event monitoring services business that was acquired on March 13, 2014. On October 31, 2018, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Telerhythmics Purchase Agreement”) with G Medical Innovations USA, Inc. (“G Medical”), pursuant to which we sold all the outstanding membership interests in Telerhythmics to G MedicalMedical. On September 10, 2019, Digirad completed its acquisition of ATRM pursuant to the ATRM Merger Agreement. The $8.2 million goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of ATRM. As of December 31, 2019, as a result of the finalization of the purchase price allocation for $1.95 million in cash. the ATRM Merger, an adjustment of $3,000 was made to the recognized amounts of goodwill resulting from the acquisition of ATRM.


No other significant impairment losses on long-lived assets were recognized during the years ended December 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018. See Note 2 “Basis2.Basis of Presentation,Note 5.Merger and Note 7 “Goodwill”8.Goodwill, within the notes to ourconsolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, included in our 2018Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and incorporated herein by reference for further discussion regarding goodwill and long-lived assets.

The Company is dependent on its senior management team and other key employees.

The Company’s success depends, to a significant extent, on its senior management team and other key employees and the ability of other personnel or new hires to effectively replace key employees who may retire or resign. Failure to retain its leadership team and attract and retain new leadership and other important personnel could lead to ineffective management and operations, which could materially and adversely affect its business and operating results.

ATRM’s operating results could be adversely affected by changes in the cost and availability of raw materials.

Prices and availability of raw materials used to manufacture its products can change significantly due to fluctuations in supply and demand. Additionally, availability of the raw materials used to manufacture its products may be limited at times resulting in higher prices and/or the need to find alternative suppliers. Both KBS’s and EBGL’s major material components are dimensional lumber and wood sheet products, which include plywood and oriented strand board. Lumber costs are subject to market fluctuations. Furthermore, the cost of raw materials may also be influenced by transportation costs. It is not certain that any price increases can be passed on to its customers without affecting demand or that limited availability of materials will not impact its production capabilities. The state of the financial and housing markets may also impact its suppliers and affect the availability or pricing of materials. ATRM’s inability to raise the price of its products in response to increases in prices of raw materials or to maintain a proper supply of raw materials could have an adverse effect on its revenue and earnings.

If we are unable to secure contracts for the KBS Projects or are unable to successfully complete the KBS Projects, our revenues and results could be adversely affected.

We are in advanced stages of negotiation for contracts to secure the KBS Projects; however, we can provide no assurance that we will be awarded the KBS Projects, that we will be able to successfully complete the KBS Projects if they are awarded to KBS, or that the anticipated revenues from the KBS Projects will be achieved. If we are not awarded the contracts for the KBS Projects, do not complete them as planned or do not receive payment for the KBS Projects as projected, then KBS’ and our revenues and results may be adversely affected.

If KBS is unable to maintain or establish its relationships with independent dealers and contractors who sell its homes, KBS revenue could decline.

KBS sells residential homes through a network of independent dealers and contractors. As is common in the modular home industry, KBS’s independent dealers may also sell homes produced by competing manufacturers and can cancel their relationships with KBS on short notice. In addition, these dealers may not remain financially solvent, as they are subject to industry, economic, demographic and seasonal trends similar to those faced by KBS. If KBS is not able to maintain good relationships with its dealers and contractors or establish relationships with new solvent dealers or contractors, KBS’s revenue could decline.

TableDue to the nature of ContentsATRM’s business, many of its expenses are fixed costs and if there are decreases in demand for its products, it may adversely affect its operating results.

Many of its expenses, particularly those relating to properties, capital equipment, and certain manufacturing overhead items, are fixed in the short term. Reduced demand for its products causes its fixed production costs to be allocated across reduced production volumes, which adversely affects its gross margins and profitability.

Certain actions taken in connection with reducing operating costs may have a negative impact on ATRM’s business.

In the event of a housing downturn and a decline in its revenues, ATRM may implement cost reduction actions such as temporary factory shutdowns, workforce reductions, pay freezes and reductions, and reductions in other expenditures. In doing so, ATRM will attempt to maintain the necessary infrastructures to allow ATRM to take full advantage of subsequent improvements in market conditions. However, there can be no assurance that reductions ATRM may make in personnel and expenditure levels and the loss of the capabilities of personnel ATRM has terminated or may terminate will not inhibit ATRM in the timely ramp up of production in response to improving market conditions.

Due to the nature of the work the Company and its subsidiaries perform, the Company may be subject to significant liability claims and disputes.

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries engage in services that can result in substantial injury or damages that may expose the Company to legal proceedings, investigations and disputes. For example, in the ordinary course of its business, the Company may be involved in legal disputes regarding personal injury and wrongful death claims, employee or labor disputes, professional liability claims, and general commercial disputes, as well as other claims. LSVM as an exempt reporting advisor may also be subject to legal proceedings and investigations with the SEC or other regulatory bodies and may have disputes related to its fiduciary duties to the funds or instruments LSVM manages. An unfavorable legal ruling against the Company or its subsidiaries could result in substantial monetary damages. Although the Company has adopted a range of insurance, risk management, safety, and risk avoidance programs designed to reduce potential liabilities, there can be no assurance that such programs will protect the Company fully from all risks and liabilities. If the Company sustains liabilities that exceed its insurance coverage or for which the Company is not insured, it could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

ATRM’s costs of doing business could increase as a result of changes in, expanded enforcement of, or adoption of new federal, state or local laws and regulations.

ATRM is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern numerous aspects of its business. In recent years, a number of new laws and regulations have been adopted, and there has been expanded enforcement of certain existing laws and regulations by federal, state and local agencies. These laws and regulations, and related interpretations and enforcement activity, may change as a result of a variety of factors, including political, economic or social events. Changes in, expanded enforcement of, or adoption of new federal, state or local laws and regulations governing minimum wage or living wage requirements; the classification of exempt and non-exempt employees; the distinction between employees and contractors; other wage, labor or workplace regulations; healthcare; data protection and cybersecurity; the sale and pricing of some of its products; transportation; logistics; supply chain transparency; taxes; unclaimed property; energy costs and consumption; or environmental matters could increase its costs of doing business or impact its operations.

Risks Related to our Indebtedness

 

On June 21, 2017, weMarch 29, 2019, Digirad and certain of its healthcare subsidiaries entered into the Comerica Credita Loan and Security Agreement with ComericaSterling National Bank a Texas banking association (“Comerica”(the “SNB Loan Agreement”). The Comerica CreditSNB Loan Agreement is a five-year revolving credit facility (maturing in June 2022)March 2024), which, as amended, has a maximum credit amount of $20.0 million. We used$20 million (the “SNB Credit Facility”).

Our indebtedness could restrict our operations and make us more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.

 

Our indebtedness could have important consequences for us and our stockholders. For example, the Comerica CreditSNB Loan Agreement requires a balloon payment at the termination of the facility in June 2022,March 2024 and the Star Loan Agreement has a balloon payment in January 2021, which payments may require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to this future payment if we feel we cannot be successful in our ability to refinance in the future, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. In addition, our indebtedness could:

 

·increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and competitive pressures in our industry;

·place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

·limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and

·limit our ability to borrow additional funds on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

 

The Comerica Credit AgreementCompany Loan Agreements governing our indebtedness containscontain restrictive covenants that will restrict our operating flexibility and require that we maintain specified financial ratios. We were not in compliance with certain covenants as of September 30, 2018 and although a waiver and an amendment to the Comerica Credit Agreement were obtained to address this noncompliance, we may be unable to obtain a waiver and or an amendment to the Comerica Credit Agreement for subsequent periods. If we cannot comply with these covenants, we may be in default under one or more of the Comerica Credit Agreement.Loan Agreements.

 

The Comerica Credit AgreementLoan Agreements governing our indebtedness containscontain restrictions and limitations on our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. The Comerica CreditLoan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that limit and restrict, among other things, our ability to:

 

·incur additional debt;

·sell assets;

·incur liens or other encumbrances;

·make certain restricted payments and investments;

·acquire other businesses; and

·merge or consolidate.

 

The Comerica CreditSNB Loan Agreement limits our ability to pay dividends and to redeem our equity securities if such dividend or redemption would result in our non-compliance with the financial covenants in the SNB Loan Agreement, there is insufficient cash generation by our business to satisfy our required financial covenants,borrowing availability under the SNB Loan Agreement, or if there is a default or event of default under the Comerica CreditSNB Loan Agreement that has occurred and is continuing. In addition, the Company Loan Agreements include explicit restrictions on the payment of dividends and distributions to Digirad, which could limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends. The Company may, therefore be required to reduce or eliminate its quarterly cash dividenddividends, if any, including on the Series A Preferred Stock (if any outstanding), and/or may be unable to redeem shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (if any outstanding) until compliance with such financial covenants can be met.

The Comerica Credit Agreement contains a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant. At September 30, 2018,Loan Agreements contain various financial covenants that, going forward, we were not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, and although a waiver and amendment was obtained to address noncompliance for this period, we may be unable to obtain a waiver and/or amendment if we are not in compliance in subsequent periods. Going forward, weour subsidiaries may not have the ability to meet these and othermeet. Due to increased financial pressure on the Company as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increased likelihood that we may fail to comply with such financial covenants if the impacts of the pandemic persist for a significant duration. We cannot provide any assurance that any such breach of covenants will be able to be remedied or that they will not result in a default under the Comerica Credit Agreement depending on a number of factors including, without limitation,Loan Agreements.

The Loan Agreements also contain various other affirmative and negative covenants regarding, among other things, the performance of our business, capital allocation decisions made by the Company and its subsidiaries, or events beyond our control.

Our failure to comply with our covenants and other obligations under the Comerica Credit AgreementLoan Agreements may result in an event of default thereunder. A default, if not cured or waived, may permit acceleration of our indebtedness. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds available to pay the accelerated indebtedness (together with accrued interest and fees), or that we will have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all. This could have serious consequences to our financial condition, operating results, and business, and could cause us to become insolvent or enter bankruptcy proceedings, and stockholders may lose all or a portion of their investment because of the priority of the claims of our creditors on our assets.

 

Substantially all of our assets (including the assets of our subsidiaries) have been pledged to Comericalenders as security for our indebtedness under the Comerica Credit Agreement.Loan Agreements.

 

In connection with the Comerica Credit Agreement, and pursuant to a separate Security Agreement dated June 21, 2017, between the Company, its subsidiaries and Comerica, the Comerica Credit Agreement isThe Loan Agreements are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets (excluding real estate) of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of all shares and membershipequity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under any Loan Agreement, the Comerica Credit Agreement, Comerica Bankapplicable lender may, among other things, declare the loans and all other obligations under the Comerica Credit Agreementthereunder immediately due and payable and may, in certain instances, increase the interest rate at which loans and obligations under the Comerica Credit Agreement bear interest. The exercise by Comericaa lender of remedies provided under the Comerica Creditapplicable Loan Agreement in the event of a default thereunder may have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the applicable borrowers and/or the Company and could cause such borrowers and/or the Company to become bankrupt or insolvent. The obligations of the Company and various subsidiaries of the Company under the Loan Agreements are guaranteed by other subsidiaries of the Company and/or the Company. In the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, or similar proceeding against us, the assets that are pledged as collateral securing any unpaid amounts underthe Comerica Creditapplicable Loan Agreementmust first be used to pay such amounts, as well as any other obligation secured by the pledged assets, in full, before making any distributions to our stockholders. In the event of any of the foregoing, our stockholders could lose all or a part of their investment.

 

The inability of the Company, ATRM, KBS, or any of the Company’s other subsidiaries to comply with applicable financial covenants under the Loan Agreements could have a material adverse effect on financial condition of the Company.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, KBS was not in compliance with the financial covenants under the KBS Loan Agreement requiring no net annual post-tax loss for KBS or the minimum leverage ratio covenant as of these test dates. In April 2019, June 2019 and February 2020, ATRM obtained a waiver from Gerber Finance for these events. In addition, ATRM and Gerber Finance agreed to eliminate the minimum leverage ratio covenant for years after 2018.

If the Company, ATRM, KBS, or any of the Company’s other subsidiaries fail to comply with any applicable financial covenants under the Loan Agreements to which it is a party, or if there is otherwise an event of default under the Loan Agreements by a borrower, the borrowers’ obligations thereunder may (subject to any applicable cure periods) become immediately due and payable and the applicable lender(s) may demand the repayment of the credit facilities amount outstanding and any unpaid interest thereon.


If we are unable to generate or borrow sufficient cash to make payments on our indebtedness, our financial condition would be materially harmed, our business could fail, and stockholders may lose all of their investment.

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our obligations will depend on our financial and operating performance, which will be affected by economic, financial, competitive, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations or fund our other liquidity needs, we may need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity or sell certain of our assets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to restructure or refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, which could cause us to default on our debt obligations and impair our liquidity. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations.

Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our results from operations and financial condition.

 

The Comerica Credit FacilitySNB, Premier and Gerber Loan Agreements allow for amounts borrowed thereunder to be subject to a floating interest rate floatswhich may change with market interest rates. An increase in prevailing interest rates would have an effect on the interest rates charged on our variable rate debt, which rise and fall upon changes in interest rates. If prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates, the increased interest expense would adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and the value of your investment could decline significantly.

The market price of our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The prices at which our shares of common stock trade depend upon a number of factors, including our historical and anticipated operating results, our financial situation, announcements of new products by us or our competitors, history of timely dividend payments, our ability or inability to raise the additional capital we may need and the terms on which we raise it, and general market and economic conditions. Some of these factors are beyond our control. Broad market fluctuations may lower the market price of our common stock and affect the volume of trading in our stock, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects. It is impossible to assure you that the market price of our shares of common stock will not fall in the future.

Any significant sales of our common stock may cause volatility in our stock price. We also have registered shares of common stock that we may issue under our employee benefit plans or from our treasury stock. Accordingly, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws. If any of these stockholders, or other selling stockholders, cause a large number of securities to be sold in the public market without a corresponding demand, the sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock. One or more stockholders holding a significant amount of our common stock might be able to significantly influence matters requiring approval by our stockholders, possibly including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.

Payment of dividends on our common stock is prohibited unless we have declared and paid (or set apart for payment) full accumulated dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, which also has a significant liquidation value.

Unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no dividends (other than a dividend in shares of common stock or other shares of stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) can be declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on our common stock, nor can any shares of common stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration by the Company. To date no dividends have been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock and as a result, cumulative dividends will continue to accrue as part of the liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock, which had closed belowa liquidation value of $10.00 per share at issuance. Dividends on the minimumSeries A Preferred Stock are payable out of amounts legally available therefor at a rate equal to 10.0% per annum per $10.00 of stated liquidation preference per share, or $1.00 per share requirement for continued listingof Series A Preferred Stock per year.

Our board of directors may alternatively elect to abandon such proposed amendment and not effect the Reverse Stock Split authorized by stockholders, in its sole discretion. As proposed to our stockholders, our board of directors will have 12 months following stockholder approval to implement the Reverse Stock Split, and if we implement the Reverse Stock Split to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the July 8, 2019 deadline, we must complete the Reverse Split no later than ten business days prior to such deadline. The Reverse Stock Split (which includes the reduction of the number of authorized shares of common stock), if approved by our stockholders, would become effective at the time and date set forth in a certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The form of the proposed certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split is attached as Appendix A to our preliminary proxy statement filed on March 8, 2019.

If we choose to implement a reverse stock split, it must be completed no later than ten business days prior to July 8, 2019.

If we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by July 8, 2019 and we are not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, the staff will provide written notification to us that our common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal the staff’s decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). We would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal a subsequent delisting determination by the staff to the Panel, that such an appeal would be successful.

If we are not able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or do not transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock could be traded on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it would become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely be a reduction in our coverage by security analystsDigirad, and the news media, which could causeholders of the price of our common stock to decline further. Additionally, the sale or purchase of our common stock would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our common stock would likely decline.Series A delisting from the Nasdaq would also result in negative publicly and would negatively impact our ability to raise capital in the future.Preferred Stock.

The protective amendment contained in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which is intended to help preserve the value of certain income tax assets, primarily tax net operating loss carryforwards, (“NOLs”), may have unintended negative effects.

 

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of our NOLs may be limited by an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. In order to protect the Company’s significant NOLs, we filed an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (as amended and extended, the “Protective Amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 5, 2015. The Protective Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 1, 2015.

 

On April 27, 2018, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which was approved by our stockholders at our 2018 Annual Meeting (the “Extended Protective Amendment”). The Extended Protective Amendment effects a three-year extension to the provisions of the Protective Amendment. The Extended Protective Amendment leaves the Protective Amendment unchanged in all respects, other than to extend the expiration date from May 1, 2018 to May 1, 2021, and to make revisions necessary as a result of the enactment of Public Law 115-97 (commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act) on December 22, 2017.

 


The Protective Amendment is designed to assist the Company in protecting the long-term value of its accumulated NOLs by limiting certain transfers of the Company’s common stock. The Protective Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfers of the common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of the common stock by any person from less than 4.99% to 4.99% or more of the common stock, or increase the percentage of the common stock owned directly or indirectly by a person owning or deemed to own 4.99% or more of the common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of the Protective Amendment will be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee.

 

The Protective Amendment also requires any person attempting to become a holder of 4.99% or more of our common stock to seek the approval of our Board. This may have an unintended “anti-takeover” effect because our Board may be able to prevent any future takeover. Similarly, any limits on the amount of stock that a stockholdershareholder may own could have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholdersshareholders to replace current management. Additionally, because the Protective Amendment may have the effect of restricting a stockholder’sshareholder’s ability to dispose of or acquire our common stock, the liquidity and market value of our common stock might suffer.

 

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law may prevent or delay removal of current management or a change in control.

 

Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change in control, discourage bids at a premium over the market price of our common stock, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless certain specific requirements are met as set forth in Section 203. These provisions, alone or together, could have the effect of deterring or delaying changes in incumbent management, proxy contests, or changes in control.

The table above is based on 2,055,158 shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, and excludes, as of such date:

TableDILUTION

If you purchase our common stock and/or pre-funded warrants in this offering, you may experience dilution to the extent of Contentsthe difference between the public offering price per share or pre-funded warrant, as applicable in this offering, and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering. Net tangible book value per share is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2020, our net tangible book value was approximately $[●] million, or approximately $[●] per share.

After giving effect to the assumed sale by us of [●] shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed combined public offering price of $[●] per share (the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on [●], 2020), after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming no sale of any pre-funded warrants in this offering), our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2020 would have been approximately $[●] million, or approximately $[●] per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $[●] per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $[●] per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Assumed public offering price per share$
Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2020$
Increase in net tangible book value per share after this offering
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering
Dilution per share to new investors$

A $0.25 increase in the assumed combined public offering price of $[●] per share (the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on [●], 2020) would result in an increase in our as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering of approximately $[●] million, or approximately $[●] per share, and the dilution per share to investors purchasing common stock and/or pre-funded warrants and/or pre-funded warrants in this offering would be approximately $[●] per share, assuming that the number of shares of our common stock and/or pre-funded warrants sold by us remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, a decrease of $0.25 in the assumed combined public offering price of $[●] per share would result in a decrease in our as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering of approximately $[●] million, or approximately $[●] per share, and the dilution per share to investors purchasing common stock and/or pre-funded warrants in this offering would be $[●] per share, assuming that the number of shares of our common stock and/or pre-funded warrants sold by us remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We may also increase or decrease the number of shares of common stock and/or pre-funded warrants we are offering from the number of shares of common stock and/or pre-funded warrants set forth above. An increase of 1.0 million in the assumed number of shares of common stock and/or pre-funded warrants sold by us in this offering would result in an increase in our as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $[●] million, or approximately $[●] per share, and the dilution per share to investors purchasing common stock and/or pre-funded warrants in this offering would be approximately $[●] per share, assuming that the assumed public offering price per share of common stock remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of 1.0 million in the assumed number of shares of common stock and/or pre-funded warrants sold by us in this offering would result in a decrease in our as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering of approximately $[●] million, or approximately [●] per share, and the dilution per share to investors purchasing common stock and/or pre-funded warrants in this offering would be approximately $[●] per share, assuming that the assumed public offering price per share of common stock remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering price, the actual number of shares sold in this offering and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.


The discussion and table above assume (i) no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional [●] shares of common stock, (ii) no exercise of the warrant to be issued to the underwriter in connection with this offering and (iii) no sale of any pre-funded warrants in this offering.

The foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants having a per share exercise price less than the public offering price per share of common stock sold in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

The table above is based on 20,249,7862,055,158 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2018,the date of this prospectus, and excludes, as of such date:

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws

Delaware Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This statute regulating corporate takeovers prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

  • prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; 
  • the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
  • on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

  • any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; 
  • any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
  • subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; or 
  • the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions may also make the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with us. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control. The amendment of any of these anti-takeover provisions would require approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote.

In particular, our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws provide for the following:

No Written Consent of Stockholders

Any action to be taken by our stockholders must be taken and given effect at a duly called annual or special meeting and may not be taken or given effect by written consent.

Special Meetings of Stockholders

Special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the president, chief executive officer, chairman of the board of directors, a majority of the members of the board of directors or stockholders holding not less than 20% of the total number of votes to be cast at such a meeting.

Advance Notice Requirement

Stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders must comply with advance notice procedures. These advance notice procedures require timely notice and apply in several situations, including stockholder proposals relating to the nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year.

Amendment of Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation

The approval of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote is required to amend the provisions of our amended and restated bylaws by stockholder action, or to amend the provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation that are described in this section or certain other terms as specified in our amended and restated bylaws. These provisions will make it more difficult to circumvent the anti-takeover provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws.

Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock (or [●] shares of undesignated preferred stock assuming completion of this offering) with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.

41

Protective Amendment

Ourrestated certificate of incorporation contains a protective provision to protect our significant NOLs. The Protective Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 1, 2015. The Protective Amendment is designed to assist the Company in protecting the long-term value of its accumulated NOLs by limiting certain transfers of the Company’s common stock. The Protective Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfers of the common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of the common stock by any person from less than 4.99% to 4.99% or more of the common stock, or increase the percentage of the common stock owned directly or indirectly by a person owning or deemed to own 4.99% or more of the common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of the Protective Amendment will be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee. The Protective Amendment also requires any person attempting to become a holder of 4.99% or more of our common stock to seek the approval of our Board. This may have an unintended “anti-takeover” effect because our Board may be able to prevent any future takeover. Similarly, any limits on the amount of stock that a stockholder may own could have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to replace current management. Additionally, because the Protective Amendment may have the effect of restricting a stockholder’s ability to dispose of or acquire our common stock, the liquidity and market value of our common stock might suffer.

On April 27, 2018, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to therestated certificate of incorporationwith the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which was approved by our stockholders at our 2018 Annual Meeting. The Extended Protective Amendment effects a three-year extension to the provisions of the Protective Amendment. The Extended Protective Amendment leaves the Protective Amendment unchanged in all respects, other than to extend the expiration date from May 1, 2018 to May 1, 2021, and to make revisions necessary as a result of the enactment of Public Law 115-97 (commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act) on December 22, 2017.

Repurchases

We have begun to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock from time to time in market or private transactions. In November 2018, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program that will enable us to repurchase up to two million shares of our common stock. We believe that the program will help offset the dilutive impact of employee stock option exercises, maximize the value of the common stock, and that the program reflects our belief in our strategy and operations and our commitment to our stockholders.

Under the stock repurchase program, we may purchase shares of our common stock through various means, including open market transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or any combination thereof. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with our working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program has no time limit and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time by the board of directors. Repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be funded from our existing cash and cash equivalents or future cash flow and equity or debt financings. As of the date of this prospectus, we have repurchased[•] shares of our common stock.

No ruling has been requested from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)issued in connection with this offeringthe exercise of a pre-funded warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.

Cashless Exercise

At any time, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of the shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the pre-funded warrants.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a pre-funded warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the pre-funded warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Exchange Listing

There is no trading market available for the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. We do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Right as a Shareholder

Except as otherwise provided in the pre-funded warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our shares of common stock, the holders of the pre-funded warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our shares of common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their pre-funded warrants.

Fundamental Transaction

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the pre-funded warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our shares of common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding shares of common stock, or any related transactions. Accordingly,person or group becoming the discussion below is not binding on the IRS or any court, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position or that any contrary position taken by the IRS will not be sustained by a court.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of Series A Preferred Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

  • an individual citizen or resident50% of the United States;

  • a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or undervoting power represented by our outstanding shares of common stock, the lawsholders of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

  • an estate the income of which is subjectpre-funded warrants will be entitled to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

  • a trust if (1) its administration is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)receive upon exercise of the Code,pre-funded warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the authoritypre-funded warrants immediately prior to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of Series A Preferred Stock that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (Non-U.S. Holders together with U.S. Holders, collectively, “Holders”).such fundamental transaction.

 

If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Series A Preferred Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in that partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership that holds Series A Preferred Stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Each Holder should consult such Holder’s tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing of SERIES A Preferred Stock, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local OR non-U.S. jurisdiction.Digirad’s Transfer Agent

 

Although the classification of preferred instruments has been subject to some recent litigation, the Company is taking the position that the Series A Preferred Stock is equity for US federal income tax purposes. Because the treatment of a corporate security as debt or equity is determined on the basis of the facts and circumstances of each case, and no controlling precedent existsThe transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the Company’s characterization of the Series A Preferredand common stock is American Stock as equity. If the IRS were to succeed in such a challenge, Holders could be characterized as receiving interest income rather than distributionsTransfer & Trust Company. Its address is 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, and could be required to recognize such income at different times than when cashits telephone number is received. If this causes a Holder to have underpaid income tax in affected years, this could result in an obligation to pay additional tax, interest and penalties. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Series A Preferred Stock is treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.(718) 921-8200

Distributions

Actual Distributions

If a distribution is made with respect toAmerican Stock Transfer & Trust Company will act as the Series A Preferred Stock, such a distribution will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under the Code. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds such earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Series A Preferred Stock (thus reducing such tax basis dollar-for-dollar), and thereafter as gain from a disposition of the Series A Preferred Stock, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders - Disposition of Series A Preferred Stock, Including Redemptions.”

Provided that certain holding period and other applicable requirements are satisfied, any portion of a distribution that is treated as a dividend generally will constitute “qualified dividend income.” Non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxpayment agent in respect of “qualified dividend income.”

Dividends received by corporate shareholders generally will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, provided that certain holding period and other applicable requirements are satisfied. Corporate shareholders of the Series A Preferred Stock should consider the effect of Code Section 246A, which reduces the dividends-received deduction allowed to a corporate shareholder that has incurred indebtedness that is “directly attributable” to an investment in portfolio stock, such as the Series A Preferred Stock. If a corporate shareholder receives a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock that is an “extraordinary dividend” within the meaning of Code Section 1059, the corporate shareholder in certain instances must reduce its basis in the Series A Preferred Stock by the amount of the “nontaxed portion” of such “extraordinary dividend” resulting from the application of the dividends-received deduction. If the “nontaxed portion” of such “extraordinary dividend” exceeds such corporate shareholder’s basis, any excess will be taxed as gain as if such shareholder had disposed of its shares in the year the “extraordinary dividend” is paid. Each corporate U.S. Holder is urged to consult with its tax advisors with respect to the eligibility for and the amount of any dividends received deduction and the application of Code Section 1059 to any dividends it may receive on the Series A Preferred Stock.

[Constructive Distributions

A distribution by a corporation of its stock may be deemed to be made with respect to its preferred stock in certain circumstances, even when no distribution of cash or property occurs. Any such deemed distribution is treated as a distribution of property to which Section 301 of the Code applies. For example, if a corporation issues preferred stock that may be redeemed at a price higher than its issue price, the excess (a “redemption premium”) is treated as a constructive distribution (or series of constructive distributions) of additional preferred stock if, in general (1) the preferred stock is either mandatorily redeemable, puttable for redemption by the holder or, under certain circumstances, callable by the corporate issuer (each, a “prohibited redemption right”) and (2) the redemption premium is more than a de minimis amount (a “prohibited redemption premium”). If preferred stock is issued with both a prohibited redemption right and a prohibited redemption premium, any holder of such preferred stock must accrue constructive distributions of additional preferred stock equal to the redemption premium on a constant yield to maturity basis (without regard to the holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes) determined under principles similar to the determination of original issue discount pursuant to Treasury regulations under Sections 1271 through 1275 of the Code (the “OID Rules”).

52

The Company has the right to call the Series A Preferred Stock for redemption on or after [•] (the “call option”) and is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock following maturity on [•], 2028 (the “mandatory redemption”). The holders have the option to cause the Company to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon any Change of Control Triggering Event (the “put option”). The stated redemption price of the Series A Preferred Stock upon any redemption pursuant to the call option, the mandatory redemption or the put option is equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to but excluding the payment date.

Because the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to the call option, the mandatory redemption and the put option, the Series A Preferred Stock may be treated as issued with a prohibited redemption right. As a result, if the Series A Preferred Stock is issued with a prohibited redemption premium, U.S. Holders may be required to accrue constructive distributions of additional Series A Preferred Stock equal to the amount of any such redemption premium on a constant yield to maturity basis (without regard to the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes) determined under principles similar to the OID Rules. Although the application of principles similar to the OID Rules to preferred stock is not certain, a redemption premium for the Series A Preferred Stock generally should be considered de minimis (i.e., not a prohibited redemption premium) if such a redemption premium is less than 0.25 percent of the Series A Preferred Stock’s stated redemption price at maturity of $25.00, multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity. Because the issue price for the Series A Preferred Stock is expected to be $25.00 (i.e., the initial offering price to the public), which is equal to its stated redemption price at maturity of $25.00, the Company does not expect that the Series A Preferred Stock will be issued with a prohibited redemption premium.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, guidance relating to prohibited redemption premiums on preferred stock is very limited. The Company can offer no assurances that the Series A Preferred Stock will not be issued with a prohibited redemption premium, including, but not limited to, as a result of market pricing. If U.S. Holders were required to accrue constructive distributions of additional Series A Preferred Stock, any such constructive distributions would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as actual distributions of the Series A Preferred Stock that would constitute a dividend, non-taxable return of capital or capital gain to the U.S. Holder in the same manner as cash distributions described under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders - Distributions.” The application of principles similar to the OID Rules to the accrual of a redemption premium on the Series A Preferred Stock is not certain. Prospective U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential implications of the constructive distribution rules to them.]

Disposition of Series A Preferred Stock, Including Redemptions

Upon any sale, exchange, redemption (except as discussed below) or other disposition of the Preferred Stock, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Series A Preferred Stock. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Series A Preferred Stock at the time of the disposition exceeds one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gain. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors with respect to applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses.

53

A redemption of Series A Preferred Stock for cash will be treated as a sale or exchange (and subject to the tax treatment described in the preceding paragraph, except to the extent of any declared and unpaid dividends) if such redemption (1) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s equity interest in the Company under Section 302(b)(3) of the Code, (2) is a “substantially disproportionate” redemption with respect to the U.S. Holder under Section 302(b)(2) of the Code, or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder under Section 302(b)(1) of the Code (collectively, the “Section 302 Tests”). In determining whether a U.S. Holder satisfies any of the Section 302 Tests, a U.S. Holder must take into account all Company stock actually owned, including any Company stock that is “constructively” owned (within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code) by such U.S. Holder. In very general terms, a U.S. Holder may “constructively” own stock actually owned, and in some cases constructively owned, by certain members of such U.S. Holder’s family (except that, in the case of a “complete termination,” a U.S. Holder may waive, under certain circumstances, attribution from family members) and by certain entities (such as corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates) in which the U.S. Holder has an equity or beneficial interest, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has an option to purchase. In addition, any contemporaneous dispositions or acquisitions of the Company’s stock by a U.S. Holder (or by individuals or entities related to such U.S. Holder) may be deemed to be part of a single integrated transaction and may be taken into account in determining whether a Section 302 Test has been satisfied. Whether a U.S. Holder’s redemption is treated as “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” depends upon the U.S. Holder’s particular facts and circumstances. The IRS has indicated in published rulings that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute a “meaningful reduction” for this purpose. If none of the Section 302 Tests described above are satisfied, a U.S. Holder is treated as receiving a distribution with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption. The tax treatment of a distribution is discussed above under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders – Distributions.” Because the determination as to whether any of the Section 302 Tests will be satisfied with respect to any particular U.S. Holder depends upon the facts and circumstances at the time of the redemption, prospective U.S. Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of a redemption.

Net Investment Income Tax

Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals, estates and trusts) may be subject to a 3.8 percent tax on all or some portion of such U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” to the extent it exceeds certain thresholds. For this purpose, “net investment income” generally will include dividends received on, and capital gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of, the Series A Preferred Stock. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the application of the net investment income tax to them.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting may apply with respect to payments of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the Series A Preferred Stock. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding on payments of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the Series A Preferred Stock unless the beneficial owner thereof furnishes the payor or its agent with a taxpayer identification number and certain other information certified under penalties of perjury, or otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding. U.S. backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that such U.S. Holder timely files a refund claim with the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

Distributions

The characterization of a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a dividend, a non-taxable return of capital or as gain from the sale or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, as well as the potential accrual of certain constructive distributions, is determined in the same manner as is described above under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders - Distributions.”

54

Except as described below, a dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30 percent rate or at a lower rate if the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate. Even if the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a lower income tax treaty rate, the payor or its agent generally is required to withhold at a 30 percent rate (rather than the lower income tax treaty rate) on a dividend payment to a Non-U.S. Holder unless the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes to the payor or its agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other appropriate Form W-8 or any successor forms) certifying under penalties of perjury that such Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to benefits under the income tax treaty. Additional certification requirements apply if a Non-U.S. Holder holds its Series A Preferred Stock through a foreign partnership or a foreign intermediary. If a Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of that rate by timely filing a refund claim with the IRS.

A dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is “effectively connected” with its conduct of a trade or business within the United States, and, if required by an income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment that the Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States, is not subject to the withholding tax described above, provided that the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes to the payor or its agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or acceptable substitute form) certifying under penalties of perjury that (i) such Non-U.S. Holder is a non-U.S. person, and (ii) the dividend is effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States and is includable in its gross income. Any such dividend generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder. The tax treatment to a U.S. Holder of a distribution is discussed above under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders – Distributions.” In addition, any such dividend received by a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30 percent rate, or at a lower rate if the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate.

Disposition of Series A Preferred Stock, Including Redemptions

Any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the disposition of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax unless:

  • the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States);

  • the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied; or

  • the Company is or has been a United States real property holding corporation (a “USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as such term is defined in Section 897(c) of the Code) at any time during the shorter of (1) the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition and (2) the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Non-U.S. Holder held (directly, indirectly or constructively), at any time during such period, more than 5 percent of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

If the Non-U.S. Holder’s gain is described in the first bullet point immediately above, such a Non-U.S. Holder generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax as if it were a U.S. Holder under the rules described above “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders - Disposition of Series A Preferred Stock, Including Redemptions,” and, in the case of a foreign corporation, may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30 percent rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

If the Non-U.S. Holder is described in the second bullet point immediately above, such Non-U.S. Holder generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30 percent rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on any gain, which may be offset by certain capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder.

If the Company meets the criteria described in the third bullet point immediately above, a Non-U.S. Holder generally is not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax as a result of the Company meeting such criteria but is subject to U.S. federal income tax as if it were a U.S. Holder under the rules described above “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders - Disposition of Series A Preferred Stock, Including Redemptions.” Although there can be no assurances in this regard, the Company does not believe that it is or was a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes during the applicable five-year period and does not believe that it will become a USRPHC in the foreseeable future.

55

A payment made in redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock may be treated as a distribution, rather than as a sale or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, under the same circumstances discussed above under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders: Disposition of Series A Preferred Stock, Including Redemptions.” Each Non-U.S. Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock should consult its own tax advisors to determine whether a payment made in redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock will be treated as a distribution or as a sale or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Information ReportingCertain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Digirad’s Certificate of Incorporation and Backup WithholdingBy-Laws

 

PayorsDelaware Takeover Statute

Digirad is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This statute regulating corporate takeovers prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; or

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or their agentsperson beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.


Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Provisions of Digirad’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of Digirad by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions may also make the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Digirad to first negotiate with Digirad. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of Digirad common stock. These provisions may make it more difficult for Digirad stockholders to take specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Digirad. The amendment of any of these anti-takeover provisions would require approval by holders of at least two-thirds of Digirad’s outstanding common stock entitled to vote.

In particular, Digirad’s restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws provide for the following:

No Written Consent of Stockholders

Any action to be taken by Digirad stockholders must report annuallybe taken and given effect at a duly called annual or special meeting and may not be taken or given effect by written consent.

Special Meetings of Stockholders

Special meetings of Digirad stockholders may be called only by the president, chief executive officer, chairman of the Digirad board of directors, a majority of the members of the Digirad board of directors or Digirad stockholders holding not less than 20% of the total number of votes to be cast at such a meeting.

Advance Notice Requirement

Digirad stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of Digirad stockholders must comply with advance notice procedures. These advance notice procedures require timely notice and apply in several situations, including stockholder proposals relating to the IRSnominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at Digirad’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year.

Amendment of Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation

The approval of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Digirad capital stock entitled to each Non-U.S. Holdervote is required to amend the provisions of Digirad’s amended and restated bylaws by stockholder action, or to amend the provisions of Digirad’s restated certificate of incorporation that are described in this section or certain other terms as specified in Digirad’s amended and restated bylaws. These provisions will make it more difficult to circumvent the anti-takeover provisions of Digirad’s restated certificate of incorporation and Digirad’s restated bylaws.

Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock

Digirad’s board of directors is authorized to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up to a further 1,500,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the Digirad board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables Digirad’s board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Digirad by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.


Protective Amendment

Digirad’s restated certificate of incorporation contains a protective provision (the “Protective Amendment”) to protect Digirad’s significant net operating losses (“NOLs”). The Protective Amendment was approved by Digirad’s stockholders at Digirad’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 1, 2015. The Protective Amendment is designed to assist Digirad in protecting the long-term value of its accumulated NOLs by limiting certain transfers of Digirad’s common stock. The Protective Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfers of the common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of the common stock by any person from less than 4.99% to 4.99% or more of the common stock, or increase the percentage of the common stock owned directly or indirectly by a person owning or deemed to own 4.99% or more of the common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of the Protective Amendment will be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee. The Protective Amendment also requires any person attempting to become a holder of 4.99% or more of Digirad common stock to seek the approval of Digirad’s board of directors. This may have an unintended “anti-takeover” effect because Digirad’s board of directors may be able to prevent any future takeover. Similarly, any limits on the amount of dividends paidDigirad common stock that a stockholder may own could have the effect of making it more difficult for Digirad stockholders to such Non-U.S. Holderreplace Digirad’s management. Additionally, because the Protective Amendment may have the effect of restricting a Digirad stockholder’s ability to dispose of or acquire Digirad common stock, the liquidity and market value of Digirad’s common stock might suffer.

On April 27, 2018, Digirad filed a Certificate of Amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation with the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardlessSecretary of whether withholding was required. CopiesState of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made availableState of Delaware, which was approved by Digirad’s stockholders at its 2018 Annual Meeting. The Extended Protective Amendment effects a three-year extension to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subjectthe Protective Amendment. The Extended Protective Amendment leaves the Protective Amendment unchanged in all respects, other than to backup withholding with respectextend the expiration date from May 1, 2018 to payments of dividends on the Series A Preferred StockMay 1, 2021, and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other dispositionmake revisions necessary as a result of the Series A Preferred Stock if such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penaltyenactment of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding. U.S. backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a Non-U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund or a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that such U.S. Holder timely files a refund claim with the IRS.

Repurchases

Digirad has begun to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock from time to time in market or private transactions. On October 31, 2018, Digirad’s board of directors approved a 30% withholding taxstock repurchase program that enables Digirad to repurchase up to 200,000 shares of its common stock. Digirad believes that the program will help offset the dilutive impact of employee stock option exercises, maximize the value of Digirad common stock, and that the program reflects Digirad’s belief in its strategy and operations and its commitment to its stockholders.

Under the stock repurchase program, Digirad may purchase shares of its common stock through various means, including open market transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or any combination thereof. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on dividends on Series A Preferred Stock, to: (i) a foreign financial institution (as that term is defined in Section 1471(d)(4)number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with Digirad’s working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.

Furthermore, our bylaws provide (A) for indemnification of Directors as set forth above, and (B) indemnification of officers of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also provides for indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents of Delaware corporations. It is set forth below:

  

“Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

 

(a)        A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(a)A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(b)        A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(b)A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

(c)        To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(c)To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

 

(d)Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination:

(d)        Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by(1) By a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum,quorum; or (ii) by

(e)        Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

II-2(e)Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
(f)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

(g)A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

(h)For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(i)For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

(j)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(k)The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees). 

 

(f)        The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(g)        A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

(h)        For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(i)        For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

(j)        The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(k)        The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).”

 

We have entered into, and intend to continue to enter into, separate indemnification agreements with our directors, executive officers, and other key employees, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. We also have directors and officers insurance which includes insurance for claims against these persons brought under securities laws.

 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

(a)During the past three years, we sold the following shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act:

On September 10, 2019, we issued 300,000 shares of our 10.0% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to Lone Star Value Investors, LP for a price of $10 per share for total proceeds to us of $3 million. The Private Placement was made pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 10, 2019 (the “SPA”). We used the proceeds from the Private Placement for the repayment of debt owed by a wholly-owned subsidiary. Lone Star Value Investors, LP is a significant holder of our common stock and our Series A Preferred Stock.

 

NoneNo placement agent or other financial intermediary was engaged or compensated in connection with the Private Placement. The issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Private Placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), as sales by an issuer not involving a public offering. The foregoing issuance was not registered under the Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. In each case, the issuance was made, without any general solicitation or advertising, to a limited number of sophisticated investors with knowledge and experience of financial and business matters related to an investment in our securities. In addition, the securities issued in the foregoing issuance are restricted securities bearing transfer restrictions and the recipient acquired such securities for its own account without a view to resell or distribute them. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same. Accordingly, the foregoing issuance was subject to the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i.(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii.(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

iii.(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

II-8

II-12

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(A)Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(B)Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(6)That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv)Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

II-13

(b)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant'sregistrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan'splan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

II-9

(h)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(i)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1)For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2)For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initialbona fide offering thereof.
