Securities

 

Common Stock. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of Common Stock of the Company. Dividends have no cumulative rights and dividends will not accumulate if the Board of Directors does not declare such dividends.

  

Series B Preferred. Each share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Convertible Stock (“Series B Preferred”) has a stated value of $4.00 per share (“Stated Value”) and accrued annual dividends equal to 5% of the Stated Value, payable by the Company in quarterly installments, in either cash or shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Stated Value, divided by $0.25 per share (the “Series B Conversion Shares”). The Company also has the option to require the conversion of the Series B Preferred into Series B Conversion Shares in the event: (i) there were sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock reserved as Series B Conversion Shares; (ii) the Series B Conversion Shares were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Series B Conversion Shares were freely tradable, without restriction, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act; (iii) the daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock, multiplied with the closing price, equaled at least $250,000 for 20 consecutive trading days; and (iv) the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock was at least $0.62 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

As of December 31, 2018, there remained $67,136 in cumulative unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred.

 

Series C Preferred. Each share of Series C Preferred has a stated value of $100 per share, and as of the year ended December 31, 2018, was convertible, at the option of each respective holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to $100, divided by $0.025 per share (the “Series C Conversion Shares”).
