Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
On December 30, 2024, the Board amended the designation of a series of the Company’s Series V Preferred Stock and filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Rights, Privileges, Preferences, and Restrictions of Series V Preferred Stock (the “A&R Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to establish the rights, privileges, preferences, and restrictions of the Series V Preferred Stock. The A&R Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing on December 30, 2024. The number of authorized shares of Series V Preferred Stock is 25,000,000 shares. The following is a summary of the principal terms of the A&R Certificate of Designation:
Dividends
The holders of the Series V Preferred Stock do not have any preferential dividend rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends, if any, only if, when, and as declared by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.
Voting Rights
Each share of Series V Preferred Stock shall have the right to take action by written consent or vote in number equal to two times the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock into which such shares of Series V Preferred Stock are then convertible. These voting rights may be exercised by vote at an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company or at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company or by written consent of the holders of Series V Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation of which the A&R Certificate of Designation is a part, the holders of shares of Common Stock and shares of Series V Preferred Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes.
Conversion
Each share of Series V Preferred Stock shall be convertible into one-third of a share of Common Stock, in the manner set forth in this paragraph and as further described in the A&R Certificate of Designation. Each share of Series V Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into one-third fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock on the fourth anniversary of the date on which the holder’s shares of Series V Preferred Stock were issued (each, an “Automatic Conversion”). In addition, at any time, or from time to time, from and after the first anniversary of the date on which a holder’s shares of Series V Preferred Stock were issued, but prior to the date of the Automatic Conversion, such holder shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Company and the transfer agent (or solely to the Company if the Company serves as its own transfer agent for the Series V Preferred Stock), to convert each of such holder’s shares of Series V Preferred Stock then held into one-third of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock.
Liquidation Preference
Upon any Liquidation Event (as defined in the A&R Certificate of Designation), before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock ranking junior to the Series V Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series V Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to an aggregate of $1.00 allocated among all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Series V Preferred Stock (the “Preference Value”). After the payment of the Preference Value of the shares of the Series V Preferred Stock as set forth in the A&R Certificate of Designation, the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and other classes or series of the Company’s capital stock in the manner provided by law or the charter documents of the Company.
Trading Market
There is no established trading market for any of the Series V Preferred Stock, and the Company does not expect a market to develop. The Company does not intend to apply for a listing for any of the Series V Preferred Stock on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Series V Preferred Stock will be limited.
The foregoing descriptions of the A&R Certificate of Designation and the Series V Preferred Stock are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
