Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 1, 2010, we entered into separate Settlement and Release Agreements (the “Settlement Agreements”) with Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd. and Alpha Capital Anstalt (collectively, the “Financing Transaction Investors”).

 

On February 3, 2010, we completed a registered direct offering (the “Financing Transaction”) with the Financing Transaction Investors for an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock, Series 1 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock (the “Series 1 Warrants”) and Series 2 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 123,258 shares of common stock (the “Series 2 Warrants”).  The Series 2 Warrants expired on May 4, 2010.  The Series 1 Warrants are exercisable until February 3, 2015 and are entitled to “full ratchet” dilution protection, among other rights.

 

As we have previously reported, the Financing Transaction Investors filed a lawsuit against us in The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York titled Alpha Capital Anstalt and Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd., Plaintiffs v. ICOP Digital, Inc . , Defendant, Case No. 10-CV-5924 (the “Financing Transaction Litigation”).  We filed counterclaims against the Financing Transaction Investors in the litigation.

 

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we have agreed to issue an aggregate of 600,000 shares of unregistered common stock (the “New Shares”) to the Financing Transaction Investors in exchange for surrender of the Series 1 Warrants and a mutual release of all claims arising from the Financing Transaction Litigation.  The New Shares were valued at $1.73 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date of execution of the Settlement Agreements.

 

The New Shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.  As a condition for relying upon the Section 3(a)(10) exemption, the Settlement Agreements and their terms and conditions must be approved by the Court in the Financing Transaction Litigation.  We anticipate the Financing Transaction Investors will cooperate with us in obtaining such Court approval.

 

Upon approval of the Settlement Agreements by the Court, the New Shares will be freely tradable upon issuance by us.

 

We believe this settlement will assist us in moving forward with executing our business plan, free from the distraction and expense of the litigation and the dilution and other rights that accompanied the Series 1 Warrants.  Accordingly, our Board of Directors has determined that the Settlement Agreements are in the best interests of our shareholders.

 

The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this report.
