Dividend of Series A Preferred Stock
On August 17, 2021, SRAX, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it will be issuing a one-time dividend consisting of a preferred stock to certain Qualified Recipients (as defined below) on a 1-for-1 as converted to common stock basis (the “Dividend”). The record date for the Dividend is September 20, 2021 (the “Record Date”). The preferred stock entitles the Qualified Recipients with the right to receive the net proceeds from sales of certain securities of issuers that the Company received through its Sequire Platform services.
On September 20, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of designation (the “COD”) of preferences, rights, and limitations of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Pursuant to the COD, the Company is authorized to issue up to 36,412,417 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Dividend Shares”).
As of the Record Date, the following holders of securities were entitled to receive the Dividend Shares (collectively, the “Qualified Recipients):
| (i) | each outstanding share of Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”), of which 25,160,504 shares were issued and outstanding, | |
| (ii) | each share of Common Stock underlying outstanding common stock purchase warrants containing a contractual right to receive the Dividend (“Warrants”) of which, 10,327,645 were outstanding, and | |
| (iii) | each original issue discount senior convertible debenture (the “Debentures”) issued on June 30, 2021, containing a contractual right to receive the Dividend on an as converted to Common Stock basis, of which $2,486,275 of Debentures were outstanding in principal and interest, convertible into 924,268 shares of Common Stock. |
Accordingly, the Company is issuing 36,412,417 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Qualified Recipients on an as converted to Common Stock basis. The Dividend is anticipated to be delivered on or about September 27, 2021.
Rights Preferences and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock
For purposes of the paragraph below, the term “Enumerated Securities” shall mean the securities approved by the Company’s board of directors (“Board”), in aggregate value of approximately $6.5 million as of the Record Date, consisting of securities (i) from twenty-five (25) companies that trade or are quoted on the OTC Markets, (ii) having stock prices ranging from $0.01 to $5.15, (iii) with aggregate values of the securities held by the Company ranging from $1,930 to $900,000, and (iv) with the average value held by the Company equal to $260,000 per issuer. The Enumerated Securities consist of (a) 24 issuers’ common stock and (b) one (1) issuer’s convertible debt instrument that is convertible into common stock.
Pursuant to the COD, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may become entitled to certain cash dividends on a pro rata basis (subject to a determination by the Board that a distribution is not prohibited pursuant to applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law), from the net proceeds received from the sale of the Enumerated Securities if and when sold (a “Cash Distribution”). Any Cash Distribution, if and when declared by the Board, will be paid no more frequently than once per calendar quarter and will be required to be declared by the thirtieth (30th) day following a calendar quarter by the Board. In the event that a Cash Distribution would entitle the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to each receive less than $0.01 per share, the Company shall not be required to pay any Cash Distribution, and if applicable, such amount will be credited to a subsequent quarter.
In the event of a liquidation or certain fundamental transactions, as more fully described in the COD, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to any accrued and unpaid amounts owed pursuant to sales of the Enumerated Securities.
The Series A Stock (i) is not redeemable, (ii) is not transferrable, (iii) contains no voting rights (except where required by law), and (iv) will automatically cancel and be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock upon the payment of all amounts due pursuant to sales of the Enumerated Securities, as more fully described in the COD.
The foregoing description of the COD set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. Designation, Amount and Par Value. There shall be a series of Preferred Stock that shall be designated as “Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 36,412,417. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall only be issued and maintained in the form of securities held in book-entry form.
Section 3. Dividends.
a) Stock Sale Dividends. Conditioned upon, and subject to a determination by the Board that a distribution is not prohibited pursuant to applicable provisions of the DGCL (including Section §170 thereof) or other applicable law (including any law requiring the affirmative vote of all or any portion of the shareholders of the Company to effectuate any such dividend, in which event such dividend shall be conditioned upon obtaining such vote, but there will be no requirement for the Company to seek or solicit such shareholder votes), Holders shall be entitled to receive from time to time and without interest, and the Company shall pay, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the Per Share Net Proceeds Dividend Amount, payable as set forth, and subject to any limitations contained, in Section 3(b) (“Net Proceeds Dividend(s)”).
b) Payment of Stock Sale Dividends. Net Proceeds Dividends shall be paid no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of a calendar quarter in which the Company receives Net Proceeds from Stock Sale Transaction and a Net Proceeds Dividend is approved by the Board and any applicable other required vote for such quarter, provided however that in the event the Net Proceeds, or any portion thereof, in any applicable calendar quarter would result in a Per Share Net Proceeds Dividend Amount of less than $0.01, such amount will be credited to the subsequent quarter’s Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay any portion of a Net Proceeds Dividend if such portion would result in a Per Share Net Proceeds Dividend Amount of less than $0.01. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Company has sold or transferred to a third party all of the Distribution Shares and the remaining Net Proceeds would result in a Per Share Net Proceeds Dividend Amount of less than $0.01, such amount of Net Proceeds will revert to the Company and no additional Net Proceeds Dividends will be paid.
c) Withholding and Holdback. The Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any Stock Sale Dividend payable to a Holder, such amounts as the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended, or any provision of non-U.S., state or local tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such withheld amounts shall be paid over to or deposited with the relevant governmental entity and will be treated for all purposes of this Certificate of Designation as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
d) Cancellation of Series A Preferred Stock. Immediately upon the payment of all Stock Sale Dividends in respect of all Stock Sale Transactions consummated, subject to any limitations contained in Section 3(b), each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and shall no longer be designated as Series A Preferred Stock, and any holder thereof shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares.
Section 4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by Chapter 1 of the DGCL, the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series A 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 A Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock under this Certificate of Designation, (b) amend its Certificate of Incorporation or other organizational documents, including this Certificate of Designation, in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders in a way that is material and disproportionate to other shareholders of the Company, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock (other than as a result of a pro rata stock split or similar corporate action), or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing, the effectiveness of which is not conditioned on obtaining such vote. Any vote required or permitted under this Section 4 may be taken at a meeting of the Holders or through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of such meeting, provided that the consent is executed by Holders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be permitted to amend, cancel or rescind this Certificate of Designation (including by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation with the Delaware Secretary of State pursuant to Section §151 of the DGCL) at such time as no shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding (including following the cancellation thereof as described in Section 3(d) hereof).
| 3 |
Section 5. Liquidation and Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), or a Fundamental Transaction, in each case occurring prior to the cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3(d), after, in the case of a Liquidation, the payment or adequate provision for the payment of the Company’s liabilities and obligations, the Holders shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid Net Proceeds Dividends then owed under this Certificate of Designation provided however that such amount would result in a Per Share Net Proceeds Dividend Amount of less than $0.01, such amount of Net Proceeds will revert to the Company and no additional Net Proceeds Dividends will be paid.
Section 6. Redemption; Transfers. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to offer to purchase, purchase or otherwise deal in such shares for consideration in the Company’s sole discretion, nor shall the foregoing limit a Holder’s ability to transfer any of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Company (and to no other Person) for any or no consideration. The shares A Preferred Stock will not be transferrable for any or no consideration to any Person, other than the Company or its successor.
Section 7. Series A Preferred Stock Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices a register for the Series A Preferred Stock, in which the Company shall record the name, address, electronic mail address and facsimile number of each holder of record in whose name the shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been issued. The Company may treat the Person in whose name any share of Series A Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection, upon reasonable notice, by any holder of Series A Preferred Stock or his, her or its legal representatives for the purpose of determining their own ownership of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Section 8. Stock Split. If the Company effects a stock split or stock combination of the Common Stock, then the Preferred Stock may be proportionally split or combined, at the sole discretion of the Company without any further action by any Holder or the Holders together.
Section 9. Notice to Holders. Any notice or other communication required or permitted by the provisions of this Certificate of Designation to be given to a Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Company, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of §232 of the DGCL, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.
Section 10. No Other Rights or Privileges. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Holders shall have no other rights, privileges or preferences with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.
