Item 8.01     Other Events.
The Company is updating the progress it has made on its previously announced plans to recapitalize its balance sheet and to open company-owned stores that will focus on the rapidly growing fast casual restaurant sector. The Company has commenced capital raising efforts to fund its expansion plan and will finalize its recapitalization and begin opening stores when certain minimum capital levels have been achieved.
Lenders have agreed to convert approximately 90% or $6.9 million of outstanding loans to common equity at an average price of $.33 per common share. Also, the Company has hired a senior culinary executive with over 25 years of experience in fine dining restaurants and casual cafes to join its management team to spearhead the company-owned store expansion plan. The Company has completed certain preliminary store-opening steps including architectural plans, equipment specifications, menu and an initial location analysis focused on New York City.
The Company's licensing partner continues to develop wholesale and online operations at the new Hudson Valley operation. In addition to expanding sales into premium restaurants, hotels and private clubs and continuing to develop its online business, new initiatives to expand the Artisanal brand's presence have been initiated in wine industry events in New York City, Napa Valley Vintners' annual auction in June and a national spirits product promotion combined with Artisanal Premium Cheeses conducted by global wine and spirits producer, Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH).
