(1) Includes 208,333 shares (the “Series A Shares”) of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Genetronics Biomedical Corporation (the “Issuer”) beneficially owned by QFinance, Inc. (“QFinance”) that, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below, are issuable at any time at QFinance’s option upon conversion of QFinance’s 50 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. Also includes 357,142 shares (the “Series B Shares”) of Common Stock beneficially owned by QFinance that, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below, are issuable at any time at QFinance’s option upon conversion of QFinance’s 100 shares of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. Also includes 160,313 shares (the “Series C Shares”) of Common Stock beneficially owned by QFinance that, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below, are issuable at any time at QFinance’s option upon conversion of QFinance’s 109.0133 shares of the Issuer’s Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the Issuer’s Series C Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. Also, includes 32,901 shares of Common Stock issued by the Issuer as payment for Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock dividends accrued through December 31, 2004 (the “Dividend Shares”). Also, includes 282,300 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) that, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below, are issuable at any time upon exercise of Issuer’s warrants that are beneficially owned by QFinance, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. The terms of the Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and warrants owned by QFinance provide that the number of shares of the Common Stock that may be acquired by QFinance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the warrants, as the case may be, is limited to the

2


 

         
CUSIP No. 371916107   Schedule 13G/A   Page 3 of 11
         
extent necessary to ensure that, following such conversion or exercise, as the case may be, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by QFinance and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with QFinance for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not exceed 4.95% of the total number of shares of the Common Stock then outstanding. The voting rights of the Preferred Stock are similarly limited such that QFinance will not have voting power with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock to the extent that such voting power would exceed 4.95%. By written notice to the Issuer, QFinance may waive these provisions, but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. QFinance beneficially owns 1,008,088 shares of Common Stock underlying warrants and Preferred Stock, only 921,980 of which are exercisable or convertible, as the case may be, within 60 days because of the beneficial ownership limitation described above. Assuming that QFinance provided such waiver notice and thereafter exercised all warrants and converted all Preferred Stock, QFinance would beneficially own 1,040,989 shares of Common Stock or 5.37% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock, calculated based on 18,335,658 shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer on November 1, 2004, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2004.
