The Exchange Agreement further amended the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of December 16, 2021, as amended, and contained certain covenants of the Issuer to, among other items, hold one or more stockholder meetings in respect of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Series A Preferred Stock On December 26, 2024, the Issuer filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 (the Series A Certificate of Designation) and designated 40,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock). Under the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designation, each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and, when issued, the Series A Preferred Stock will be fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a 5 percent per annum dividends, on an as-if converted basis, equal to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, when and if actually paid. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting power and no right to vote on any matter at any time, either as a separate series or class or together with any other series or class of share of capital stock, and shall not be entitled to call a meeting of such holders for any purpose nor shall they be entitled to participate in any meeting of the holders of Common Stock, except as provided in the Series A Certificate of Designation (or as otherwise required by applicable law). The Series A Preferred Stock holders may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, at any time at such holder's option, into shares of the Common Stock by dividing 120 percent of the stated value (plus certain other amounts owed to the holders) at the fixed Conversion Price of $1.23, which is subject to proportional adjustments, or a holder may elect to convert the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder at the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) at holder's election or at certain triggering event. The Issuer has the right to redeem in cash all, but not less than all, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding at a 25 percent redemption premium to the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed, and (ii) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed, multiplied by (2) the equity value of the Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock. The foregoing description of the terms of the Exchange Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, do not purport to be complete and is qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Form of Exchange Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 15 and 16, respectively.
