NOTE 14 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND MEZZANINE EQUITY

Series A Preferred Stock

 

As a result of the redomicile and effective January 10, 2024, each share of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the redomicile was exchanged for one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Nevada corporation (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which has substantially the same rights and preferences as the Series C Preferred Stock.

 

Each outstanding share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.0001 and is convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time commencing after the issuance date. The Series A Convertible Stock has voting rights equivalent to the voting rights of the common stock the holder would receive upon conversion. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the Series A Holders shall be entitled to receive, on a pro-rata basis, the first $1,000 out of the assets of the Company, whether capital or surplus, before any distribution of such assets is made or set aside for the holders of the of common stock and any other stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon any Liquidation, the Series A Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether capital or surplus, the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the Series A Preferred were fully converted. Except for stock dividends or distributions for, Series A Holders are entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends on shares of Series A Preferred equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 578,245 and 0 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As a result of the redomicile and effective January 10, 2024, TraQiQ’s “Series B” class of preferred stock was eliminated.

 

Prior to the redomicile, each outstanding share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the redomicile was convertible into the 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time commencing after the issuance date. Series B Convertible Stock had no voting rights.

 

On July 17, 2023, prior to the redomicile, the Company entered into Exchange Agreements (the “Series B Preferred Exchange Agreements”) with two accredited investors, including Sikka. Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Exchange Agreements, such investors exchanged 220,135 shares of the Company’s former Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 22,013,500 Series A Rights dated as of July 17, 2023. On July 20, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “REI Exchange Agreement”) with Renovare Environmental, Inc. (“REI”) pursuant to which REI exchanged 14,118,233 shares of common stock and 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s former Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for 108,729,363 Series A Rights dated July 20, 2023 and 30,388,873 Series B Rights dated July 20, 2023. As a result of the Series B Preferred Exchange Agreements and the REI Exchange Agreement the Company did not have any outstanding shares of its former Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

On March 29, 2024, the Company created a new series of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock consisting of 1,360,000 shares with a redemption value of $10.00 per share.

 

Optional Redemption

 

Beginning on July 31, 2025, the Company has the option to redeem the outstanding shares by providing written notice 10 to 60 days in advance. The Company has the option to redeem the outstanding shares at a premium of 130% of the stated value plus any accumulated unpaid dividends.

 

Mandatory Redemption

 

The Company will be required to redeem the outstanding shares when the Company receives written notice from any holder that holds at least 75,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (a “Mandatory Redemption Event Notice”) that specifies a Mandatory Redemption Event (as defined below) has occurred. The Company is required to provide written notice to all Holders and redeem the shares, for any holder that provides this notice, in cash (either immediately or when the cash becomes available) at an amount equal to 130% of the stated value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

A Mandatory Redemption Event is triggered either by (1) a Triggering Event occurring and the Company being notified by a Holder with at least 75,000 shares or (2) by the Company’s common stock not being listed on a major exchange after July 31, 2025.

 

Dividend Rights

 

Holders are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum, which increases to 15% during the occurrence of a Triggering Event. These dividends accrue daily from the original issuance date, regardless of whether they are declared by the Board of Directors or if there are funds legally available for payment.

 

  Accrued dividends are paid at 105% of the accumulated amount when declared, during liquidation, or upon redemption of the preferred stock. If not paid quarterly on the last day of March, June, September, and December, the dividends will compound until they are paid or converted.
  The Company may elect to pay dividends in the form of common stock provided no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred, and such a payment would not cause the holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

 

  Equity Conditions Failure occurs if certain conditions are not met during a specified period, including the continued listing of common stock on a trading market, timely delivery of shares issuable upon conversion, compliance with trading market rules, and absence of any Triggering Event.
     
  The number of shares issued as a stock dividend is calculated based on the average volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the common stock.

 

Conversion Rights

 

Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted into common stock as follows:

 

(a) Optional Conversion

 

  Conversion rate is based on the Stated Value plus unpaid dividends divided by the Conversion Price.
  Initial Conversion Price is $0.05, subject to adjustments.

 

(b) Triggering Event Conversion

 

  During a Triggering Event, holders can convert their shares at 125% of the Stated Value plus unpaid dividends.
  Conversion is subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

(c) Mandatory Conversion

 

  If the Common Stock price equals or exceeds $1.00 for 20 consecutive Trading Days, with a daily trading volume over $1,000,000, and Equity Conditions are met, the Corporation can mandate conversion.
  Mandatory Conversion Notice must be delivered within five Trading Days after the Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period.

 

Beneficial Ownership Limitation

 

No Investor will be able to convert the Series B Preferred into an amount that would result in the Investor (or its affiliates) beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company with an investor option to go to 9.99%.

 

Voting Rights

 

The number of votes a holder can cast is equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which their Series B Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote, subject to the 4.99% ownership limitation. These holders vote together with common stockholders as a single class and on an as-converted basis. The Series B Preferred Stock contains roll-over rights.

 

Series B Preferred Stock Offering

 

On April 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) dated March 29, 2024 with an accredited investor, pursuant to which, on such date and at later closings of the transactions contemplated by the SPA, such investor and the additional investors who signed the SPA agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, in connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the purchasers received five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.06 per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Warrants. The holders may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants are not then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The obligations of the Company and the Purchasers to consummate the transactions contemplated by the SPA were subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

On May 30, 2024, the Company issued 422,200 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 42,220,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,222,000. In connection with issuance, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,444,000 shares of common stock to placement agents. The placement agent warrants are identical to the warrants, except that they have a term of seven years.

 

In connection with the issuance, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement whereby the Company agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the warrants within 20 calendar days of the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the listing of the Common Stock on any of the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or their respective successors and (ii) the six-month anniversary of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Trigger Date”). The Company agreed to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared “effective” within 60 calendar days from the Trigger Date.

 

The Company determined the Series B Preferred Stock is classified as temporary mezzanine equity because redemption could be required at (1) a fixed or determinable date, (2) at the option of the holder, and (3) upon occurrence of a contingent event. The Company valued the redemption feature based on the present value of future cash flows using the following assumptions, (1) term of 1.17 years, (2) dividend rate of 10% and (3) effective interest rate of 8.12%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Series B Preferred Stock related to the Offering was accreted $106,418 and $4,062,334, respectively. The accretion was analysed and recorded as a deemed dividend and is disclosed on the consolidated statement of operations. The total offering proceeds was $4,222,000, which was allocated on a relative fair value basis between the Series B Preferred Stock and the warrants. The Series B Preferred Stock and the warrants were valued at $1,568,895 and $2,653,105, respectively.
