NOTE 8 - CAPITAL STOCK

 

Common Stock

 

Cash dividends payable on the common stock shall, in all cases, be on a per share basis, one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the cash dividend payable on shares of Class B common stock and three hundred sixty percent (360%) of the cash dividend payable on a share of Class C common stock.

 

Class B Common Stock

 

Class B common stock is convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. Class B common stock has 10 votes per share. There were 146 of such shares outstanding at June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Class C Common Stock

 

The Class C common stock has 25 votes per share, as compared to 10 votes per share for the Class B common stock and one vote per share for the common stock. The Class C common stock was offered on a three-for-one basis to the holders of the Class B common stock. Although having greater voting power, each share of Class C common stock has only one-third of the rights of a share of Class B common stock to dividends and distributions. Class C common stock is convertible into shares of common stock on a three-for-one basis.

 

Class A Non-Voting Preferred Stock

 

On April 3, 1995, the stockholders ratified a proposal consisting of the creation of a new class of Class A non-voting preferred stock with special dividend rights and the declaration of a stock dividend on the Company’s common stock consisting of one share of Class A non-voting preferred stock for every five shares of common stock. The stock dividend was payable to holders of common stock on October 20, 1995. Class A non-voting preferred stock issued pursuant to such stock dividend approximates 313,000 shares.

 

The Class A non-voting preferred stock is entitled to a special dividend equal to 3-1/4% of the first $10 million, 4-1/2% of the next $20 million and 5-1/2% on amounts in excess of $30 million of the amount of any cash awards or settlements received by the Company in connection with the enforcement of five of the Company’s patents in its patent lawsuits, less the revised special dividend payable on the common stock with respect to one of the Company’s patents.

 

The Class A non-voting preferred stock participates on an equal per share basis with the common stock in any dividends declared and ranks equally with the common stock on distribution rights, liquidation rights and other rights and preferences (other than the voting rights).

 

Stock Bonus Plans

 

On April 23, 2010, the Board approved the 2010 Stock Bonus Plan. The plan entitles the Company to reserve 2,000,000 shares of common stock. On August 10, 2010, the Company filed Form S-8 to register the 2,000,000 shares. As of June 30, 2024, 450,177 shares of common stock of FONAR were available for future grant under this plan. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 0 shares were issued.

Treasury Stock

 

On September 13, 2022, the Company adopted a stock repurchase plan. The plan has no expiration date and cannot determine the number of shares which will be repurchased. On September 26, 2022, the Board of Directors has approved up to $9 million to be repurchased under the plan which will be purchased on the publicly traded open market at prevailing prices.

 

The Company utilizes the cost method of accounting to value the treasury stock when repurchasing stock. Under this method, the shares are valued at the price paid and recorded to treasury stock. When the treasury stock is cancelled, the par value of the stock is reduced and the additional paid in capital is reduced for the remaining value based upon the original stock sale. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased 156,206 shares at a cost of $2,505,832 and cancelled 122,588 shares valued at $2,005,020. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased 103,148 shares at a cost of $1,759,457 and cancelled 103,328 shares valued at $1,919,027.
