The 1,561,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned include (1) 3,333 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of stock options which are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days, (2) 400,000 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the conversion of shares of 6.25% Non-Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) of Central Federal Corporation and (3) 91,000 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock (“Warrants”) of Central Federal Corporation. The 1,561,000 shares of Common Stock represents 9.57% of outstanding Common Stock of Central Federal Corporation, calculated based upon the sum of (a) 15,823,710 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 15, 2014 (as reported in the most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Central Federal Corporation), plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired by the person identified in Item 2 (the “Reporting Person”) within 60 days pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options and Warrants and pursuant to the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

b.

The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all 1,561,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

c.

On May 12, 2014, the Reporting Person purchased 28,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock from Central Federal Corporation for a purchase price of $25 per share in connection with Central Federal Corporation’s private placement of up to 480,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holder at any time on or after July 15, 2014, based on a Common Stock conversion price of $1.75. With respect to the Series B Preferred Stock purchased, the Reporting Person also received, at no additional charge, a Warrant to purchase 91,000 shares of Common Stock. The Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part for a five year period beginning on July 15, 2014 and expiring on July 15, 2019, at an exercise price of $1.85 per share of Common Stock. Unless and until Central Federal Corporation obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by applicable NASDAQ rules for the issuance of the Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants, the Series B Preferred Stock cannot be converted into, and the Warrants cannot be exercised for, more than 19.9% of the total outstanding Common Stock of Central Federal Corporation as of immediately prior to the private placement, and the Reporting Person will not be permitted to convert (or exercise Warrants for) more than his pro rata amount of such total determined based upon the Reporting Person’s ownership of the aggregate principal number of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants issued by Central Federal Corporation in the private placement. The Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants were purchased from Central Federal Corporation in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
