| | <footnote id="F1"> Pursuant to the terms of a stock redemption agreement, dated as of January 12, 2006, and amended as of February 28, 2006, June 9, 2006, and September 30, 2006 (the "Redemption Agreement"), between Tidel Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation ("Laurus Master Fund"), the Company redeemed on October 2, 2006, all of the 19,251,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), held by Laurus Master Fund at a price of $0.34 per share. Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, each Company warrant held by Laurus Master Fund was cancelled, without the receipt of any additional consideration by Laurus, on October 2, 2006. </footnote> |
| | <footnote id="F2"> Laurus Master Fund was the holder of all of the Company securities reported herein. Laurus Master Fund is managed by Laurus Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Laurus Capital"). Eugene Grin and David Grin, through other entities, are the controlling principals of Laurus Capital, and, subject to the following sentence, shared voting and investment power over all Company securities formerly held by Laurus Master Fund. </footnote> |
| | <footnote id="F3"> The board of directors of Laurus Master Fund appointed Eugene Grin and David Grin as a committee of the board, each member of which was authorized to take any action on behalf of Laurus Master Fund contemplated by, or necessary or desirable to give effect to, any of the agreements entered into by Laurus Master Fund with the Company in connection with the Company's sale of its cash security business to Sentinel Technologies, Inc. (the "Asset Sale"), including, without limitation, the voting of the shares of Common Stock held by laurus Master Fund in favor of the Asset Sale. </footnote> |
| | <footnote id="F4"> Thus, for the purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, Laurus Capital, Eugene Grin and David Grin were deemed to be beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock. Each of Laurus Capital, Eugene Grin and David Grin disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of such person's pecuniary interest in Laurus Master Fund, if any. The filing of this statement by any reporting person shall not be deemed an admission that such person is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any equity securities covered by the statement. </footnote> |
| | <footnote id="F5"> Under the terms of the warrant, Laurus Master Fund had agreed not to exercise the warrant to the extent that such exercise would have caused Laurus' beneficial ownership of Common Stock determined pursuant to Reg. Section 240.13d-3 to exceed 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, which limitation on ownership could have been voided upon 75 days' prior notice to the Company. In addition, Laurus Master Fund had agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Redemption Agreement, to not exercise the warrant until the earlier of (x) September 30, 2006 and (y) the date on which the purchase agreement relating to the Asset Sale was terminated or deemed terminated. </footnote> |
