STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Shares Authorized

The Company has authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. The Company’s board of directors is authorized, at any time, and from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to determine the designations, preferences, limitations and relative or other rights of the preferred stock or any series thereof.

On March 10, 2021, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock of the Company from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares.

Preferred Stock

In April 2013, 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and in November 2019, 2,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On February 9, 2021, 4,280 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

Conversion of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock into Common Shares

On August 3, 2020, at the request of the investor, the Company converted 4,000 Series A Preferred Stock into 2,000,000 shares of common stock. After such conversion, the Company reclassified the $400,000 redemption value of the Series A Preferred Stock to additional paid in capital. Accordingly, there are no shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.   

Conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Shares

On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into Exchange Agreements with the holders of its Series B Preferred Stock, which shares of Series B Preferred Stock were originally issued in November 2019. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange their 115 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a stated value of $115,000 and 575,000 warrants issued in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate of 1,437,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.08 per share. After the exchanges, there are no shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. The Company issued 1,437,500 shares of common stock which was more than the shares that would have been issued at the original conversion price of $0.20 per share or 575,000 shares of common stock, an excess of 862,500 shares of common stock. The excess shares were valued at a price of $0.08 per share. Consequently, in connection with this share exchange, the Company recorded a deemed dividend on this extinguishment of $69,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, there are no shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.   

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On February 9, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Delaware Secretary of State, designating 4,280 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

● Designation. The Company has designated 4,280 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 (the “Series C Stated Value”).

● Dividends. Holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) 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 the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

● Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were fully converted (disregarding any conversion limitations) which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock.

● Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations or as otherwise required by law, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designations, (b) amend its Certificate of Incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

● Conversion. Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time after the issuance date, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Series C Stated Value by the Series C Conversion Price. “Series C Conversion Price” means $0.30, subject to adjustment in the event of stock split, stock dividends, subsequent right offerings and similar recapitalization transactions.

● Forced Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the date that the Company’s stockholder approval is obtained and deemed effective, the Company may deliver a written notice to all holders (the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause each holder to convert all or part of such holder’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 (“Forced Conversion”), it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” shall be deemed to occur no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) trading days and (ii) the number of trading days comprising the standard settlement period following the Forced Conversion Notice Date; provided, however, a holder shall only be required to convert pursuant to a Forced Conversion to the extent that such conversion would not cause a holder to exceed its beneficial ownership limitation. On March 10, 2021, the Company obtained the stockholders’ approval forcing the conversion of all the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. On April 12, 2021, the Company notified holders of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of its election to force the conversion to its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock (see below).

● Exercisability. A holder of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may not convert any portion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% (or, upon election by a holder prior to issuance, 9.99%) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock after conversion, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Financing

On February 9, 2021 (the “Effectiveness Date”), the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (collectively, the “Series C Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate of 4,276 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants (the “February Warrants”) to purchase up to 14,253,323 shares (the “February Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $4,276,000, before deducting placement agent and other offering expenses of $481,898 which are offset against the proceeds in additional paid in capital. The offering closed on February 12, 2021. Accordingly, the Company recognized a total deemed dividend of $1,403,997 for the beneficial conversion feature in connection with the issuance of these Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

The February Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. If, after a period of 180 days after the date of issuance of the February Warrants, a registration statement covering the resale of the February Warrant Shares is not effective, the holders may exercise the February Warrants by means of a cashless exercise.

The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the February Warrants each contain a beneficial ownership limitation that restricts each of the investor’s ability to exercise the February Warrants and convert the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by each of them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the Investor, 9.99%) of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The Series C Purchase Agreement also provides that until the 18 month anniversary of the Effectiveness Date, in the event of a subsequent financing (except for certain exempt issuances as provided in the Series C Purchase Agreement) by the Company, each investor will have the right to participate in such subsequent financing up to an amount equal to the investor’s proportionate share of the subsequent financing based on such investor’s participation in the offering on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the subsequent financing up to an amount equal to 50% of the subsequent financing. In addition, pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed that neither it nor its subsidiaries will enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents to file any registration statement other than as contemplated pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) for a period of 90 days from the Effectiveness Date. Furthermore, subject to certain exceptions, the Company is prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of common stock or common stock equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Series C Purchase Agreement).

In connection with the offering, the Company entered into separate registration rights agreements (“Registration Rights Agreements”) with the investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to undertake to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) within ten calendar days following the Effectiveness Date. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities to be declared effective no later than the 60^th calendar day following the Effectiveness Date, or in the event of a full review by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the 90^th calendar day following the Effectiveness Date, and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If the Company fails to file the Registration Statement or have it declared effective by the dates set forth above, amongst other things, the Company will be obligated to pay the investors damages in the amount of 1% of their subscription amount, per month, until such events are satisfied. The Registration Statement was filed and declared effective in April 2021.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the offering, the Company issued Bradley Woods & Co, Ltd. and Katalyst Securities LLC warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,850,664 shares of common stock, or 10% of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and February Warrant Shares sold in the offering. The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the closing date of the offering at an exercise price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment. The Placement Agent Warrants were valued at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.50%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected term of 5 years using the simplified method and expected volatility of $169% based on comparable and calculated volatility. The aggregate grant date fair value of these Placement Agent Warrants amounted to approximately $1,106,000 and was recorded against the proceeds with no net effect on the consolidated financials.

The net proceeds of the offering are expected to be used for working capital purposes and to further execute on the Company’s existing business.

Conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On April 12, 2021, the Company notified holders of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of its election to force the conversion to its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations unless such conversion would cause the holder to exceed its beneficial ownership limitation pursuant to the Certificate of Designations.
