DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

 

As of December 31, 2024, LogicMark, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

 

General

 

The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended (“Charter”), and our bylaws (“Bylaws”) are summaries and are qualified by reference to our Charter and Bylaws. Copies of these documents can be accessed through hyperlinks to those documents in the list of exhibits in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

 

We are authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of its capital stock consisting of (a) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (b) 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which (i) 2,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as the Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), (ii) 1,333,333 shares of preferred stock were designated as the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”), (iii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as the Series G Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock”), (iv) 1,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as the Series H Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (v) 1,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as the Series I Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

 

Common Stock

 

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of stockholders. Our stockholders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the holders of our Common Stock who hold, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the total voting rights can elect all of our directors and, in such event, the holders of the remaining minority shares will not be able to elect any of such directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.

 

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available. We have not paid any dividends since our inception, and we presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.

 

Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, registration rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions by virtue of only holding such shares. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock or any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future.

 

 

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids for control of us or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium over market price for their shares of Common Stock as a result of a takeover bid. These provisions may also adversely affect the prevailing market price for shares of our Common Stock.

 

Acquisition of Controlling Interest

 

The NRS contain provisions governing acquisition of a controlling interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires a certain percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless certain criteria are satisfied. On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into the Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, in the event that a person or entity or group thereof becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Series G Record Date will be entitled to receive a dividend of Right, with each Right exercisable for one one-hundredth of a share of Series G Preferred Stock, at the Series G Purchase Price, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Rights Agreement.

 

Combination with Interested Stockholder

 

The NRS contain provisions governing combinations of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with an “interested stockholder.” These provisions only apply to a Nevada corporation that, at the time the potential acquirer became an interested stockholder, has a class or series of voting shares listed on a national securities exchange, or has a class or series of voting shares traded in an “organized market” and satisfies certain specified public float and stockholder levels. As we do not now meet those requirements, we do not believe that these provisions are currently applicable to us. However, to the extent they become applicable to us in the future, they may have the effect of delaying or making it more difficult to affect a change in control of the Company in the future.

 

 

A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in a combination within two years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her or its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the two-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of:

 

   the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;

 

   the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; or

 

   if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any.

 

Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation, and define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder of assets of the corporation:

 

   having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation;

 

   having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or

 

  representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Bylaws

 

Our Bylaws provide that directors may be removed by the stockholders with or without cause upon the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders. Furthermore, the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors, and vacancies may only be filled by a majority vote of the directors, although such majority is less than a quorum, or by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders. Except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws and the Charter any vacancies or newly created directorships on the board of directors resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum.

 

Our Bylaws also provide that only a director, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, president, vice president or corporate secretary may call a special meeting of stockholders.

 

The combination of these provisions makes it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our Company, outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover proposals, because negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
