Preferred Stock

10. Preferred Stock

The Company has the authority to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, which as of September 30, 2022 has been designated and issued as follows:

● 1,800 authorized shares designated as “Series G Convertible Preferred Stock”, of which 168 shares are outstanding.

● 23,000 authorized shares designated as “Series H Convertible Preferred Stock” (as further described below), of which 14,556 shares are outstanding.

Series H Preferred Stock

The Company recorded the issuance of 70,380 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of 510 shares of the Company’s series H convertible preferred stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficiency. The Company recorded the issuance of 6,888 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of 50 shares of the Company’s Series H Preferred Stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficiency.

Series L Preferred Stock

On May 4, 2021, a special committee of the Board declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right to be paid to the stockholders of record at the close of business on May 14, 2021 for (i) each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock and (ii) each share of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of the Company’s Series H Preferred Stock. Each preferred stock purchase right entitles the registered holder to purchase, subject to a rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s then-newly created Series L Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series L Preferred Stock”), at a price of $4.00, subject to certain adjustments. The Series L Preferred Stock was entitled, when, as and if declared, to a preferential per share quarterly dividend payment equal to the greater of (i) $1.00 per share or (ii) 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions paid to the holders of the Company’s common stock. The Series L Preferred Stock was entitled to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of the Company’s common stock are converted or exchanged, the Series L Preferred Stock was entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per one share of the Company’s common stock.

The Rights Agreement was set to expire on May 3, 2022; however, on May 2, 2022, the Board elected to extend the expiration date by an amended and restated rights agreement (the “Extended Rights Agreement”), which was ratified by the Company’s stockholders on June 2, 2022.

The Company eliminated the Series L Preferred Stock. Even though the stockholders ratified the Extended Rights Agreement, the Board determined that the Rights Agreement was no longer necessary or in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Board thus determined to terminate the Rights Agreement by amending its expiration date from May 3, 2024 to July 15, 2022 pursuant to an amendment to the Extended Rights Agreement. The amendment effectively terminated all preferred share purchase rights under the Rights Agreement such that they are no longer issued or outstanding.
