NOTE 6– STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

Preferred stock

 

The Company has 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation explicitly authorize the Board to issue any or all of such shares of preferred stock in one (1) or more classes or series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights, the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any class or series, without further vote or action by the stockholders.

 

Series B preferred stock

 

On August 16, 2019, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Shares with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Series B Preferred COD”) designating 1,700,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 and a stated value of $0.001 (the “Series B Preferred”). The Series B Preferred have no voting rights and are not redeemable. Each share of Series B Preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder subject to beneficial ownership limitation. A holder of Series B Preferred may not convert any shares of Series B Preferred into common stock if the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred COD. However, upon notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may decrease or increase the beneficial ownership limitation, which may not exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred COD, provided that any such increase or decrease in the beneficial ownership limitation will not take effect until 61 days following notice to the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no Series B preferred stock issued or outstanding.

 

Series D preferred stock

 

On July 20, 2020, the Board filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences (“COD”), Rights and Limitations of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating 1,250,000 shares of preferred stock as Series D. The Series D preferred stock (“Series D Preferred”) does not have the right to vote. The Series D Preferred has a stated value of $6.00 per share (the “Series D Stated Value”). Subject only to the liquidation rights of the holders of Series B Preferred that is currently issued and outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series D Preferred holders are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Series D Stated Value and then receive a pro-rata portion of the remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock on an as-converted to common stock basis.

 

Subject to a beneficial ownership limitation and customary adjustments for stock dividends and stock splits, each share of Series D Preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock. A holder of Series D Preferred may not convert any shares of Series D Preferred into common stock if the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series D COD. However, upon notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may decrease or increase the beneficial ownership limitation, which may not exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series D COD, provided that any such increase or decrease in the beneficial ownership limitation will not take effect until 61 days following notice to the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Approval of at least a majority of the outstanding Series D Preferred is required to: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any Certificate of Designation (however such document is named) or articles of amendment to create any class or any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series D Preferred, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or by merger, consolidation or otherwise or filing any Certificate of Designation, it being understood that the creation of a new security having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series D Preferred in a future financing will not constitute an amendment, addition, alteration, filing, waiver or repeal for these purposes; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series D Preferred; (c) issue any Series D Preferred, other than to the Investors; or (d) without limiting any provision hereunder, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series D Preferred, circumvent a right of the Series D Preferred.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no shares of Series D Preferred were outstanding.

 

Series E preferred stock

 

On October 6, 2020, the Board filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating 562,250 shares of preferred stock as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred”).

 

On December 28, 2020, the Board filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Amended Series E COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Series E Preferred has a stated value of $13.34 per share (the “Series E Stated Value”). Pursuant with the Amended Series E COD:

 

  Each holder of Series E Preferred has the right to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series E Preferred held by such holder are convertible as of the applicable record date.
     
  Unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders, for a period of one-year beginning with the Original Issuance Date, as defined, the Corporation shall have the right but not the obligation to redeem all outstanding Series E Preferred (and not any part of the Series E Preferred) at a price equal to 115% of (i) the Series E Stated Value per share plus (ii) all unpaid dividends thereon. If the Company fails to redeem all outstanding Series E on the redemption date, it shall be deemed to have waived its redemption right.

 

Subject to a beneficial ownership limitation and customary adjustments for stock dividends and stock splits, each share of Series E Preferred shall be convertible into that number of shares of common stock calculated by dividing the Series E Stated Value of each share of Series E Preferred being converted by the conversion price. The initial conversion price was $0.01, subject to certain adjustment as provided below. In addition, the Company shall issue any holder of Series E Preferred converting all or any portion of their Series E Preferred an additional sum (the “Make Good Amount”) equal to $210 for each $1,000 of Series E Stated Value of the Series E Preferred converted pro-rated for amounts more or less than $1,000, increasing to $310 for each $1,000 of Series E Stated Value during the Triggering Event Period (the “Extra Amount”). Subject a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% or 9.99%, the Make Good Amount shall be paid in shares of common stock, as follows: The number of shares of common stock issuable as the Make Good Amount shall be calculated by dividing the Extra Amount by the product of 80% times the average VWAP for the five trading days prior to the date a holder delivered a notice of conversion to the Company (the “Conversion Date”). During the Triggering Event Period, the number of shares of common stock issuable as the Make Good Amount shall be calculated by dividing the Extra Amount by the product of 70% times the average VWAP for the five trading days prior to the Conversion Date.

 

Subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% or 9.99%, at any time during the period commencing on the date of the occurrence of a Triggering Event and ending on the date of the cure of such Triggering Event (the “Triggering Event Period”), a holder may, at such holder’s option, by delivery of a conversion notice to the Company to convert all, or any number of Series E Preferred (such conversion amount of the Series E Preferred to be converted pursuant to this Section 6(b) (the “Triggering Event Conversion Amount”), into shares of common stock at the Triggering Event Conversion Price. The “Triggering Event Conversion Amount” means 125% of the Series E Stated Value and the “Triggering Event Conversion Price” means $0.006.

 

If and whenever on or after the initial issuance date but not after two years from the original issuance date, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, additional shares of common stock, options, warrants of convertible instruments, other than an exempt issuance, for a consideration per share (the “Base Share Price”) less than a price equal to the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such conversion price then in effect is reflected to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the conversion price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the base share price.

 

From and after the Original Issuance Date, cumulative dividends on each share of Series E Preferred shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 6% per annum based on a 360-day year on the Series E Stated Value plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has accrued dividends of $191,104 and $178,235, respectively, which has been included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

On a pari passu basis with the holders of Series D Preferred that was issued and outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series E Preferred is entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Series E Stated Value and then receive a pro-rata portion of the remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock on an as-converted to common stock basis. Until the date that such Series E Preferred holder no longer owns at least 50% of the Series E Preferred, the holders of Series E Preferred have the right to participate, pro rata, in each subsequent financing in an amount up to 25% of the total proceeds of such financing on the same terms, conditions and price otherwise available in such subsequent financing.

 

Approval of at least a majority of the outstanding Series E Preferred is required to: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any Certificate of Designation (however such document is named) or articles of amendment to create any class or any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series E Preferred, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or by merger, consolidation or otherwise or filing any Certificate of Designation, but the creation of a new security having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series E Preferred in a future financing will not constitute an amendment, addition, alteration, filing, waiver or repeal for these purposes; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series E Preferred; (c) issue any Series D Preferred, (d) issue any Series E Preferred in excess of 562,250 or (e) without limiting any provision under the Series E COD, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series E Preferred, circumvent a right of the Series E Preferred.

 

These Series E Preferred issuances with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the consolidated balance sheet was appropriate. As per the terms of the Amended Series E COD, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to redeem all outstanding Series E Preferred (and not any part of the Series E Preferred) at a price equal to 115% of (i) the Series E Stated Value per share plus (ii) all unpaid dividends thereon. As such, since the Series E is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is within the Company’s control, the Series E Preferred is classified as permanent equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

The Company concluded that the Series E Preferred represented an equity host and, therefore, the redemption feature of the Series E Preferred was considered to be clearly and closely related to the associated equity host instrument. The redemption features did not meet the net settlement criteria of a derivative and, therefore, were not considered embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. The Company also concluded that the conversion rights under the Series E Preferred were clearly and closely related to the equity host instrument. Accordingly, the conversion rights feature on the Series E Preferred were not considered an embedded derivative that required bifurcation.

 

On June 22, 2023, the Company offered holders of warrants issued in the Series E Offering and warrants issued in the Series G Offering (as described below) to purchase up to an aggregate of 977,912,576 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share (the “Eligible Warrants”) the opportunity to exercise the Eligible Warrants at $0.002 per share (the “Offer”). The Offer was contingent upon enough Eligible Warrants being exercised so that the Company received aggregate minimum proceeds of $500,000. The Company received gross proceeds of $619,111 from the exercise of the Eligible Warrants.

 

The Company agreed with the holders of outstanding Series E Preferred that did not participate in the Offer that, contingent on the Offer being exercised with regard to Eligible Warrants aggregating the minimum proceeds, the Company would reduce the conversion price of the Series E Preferred and warrants issued in the Series E Offering to $0.003 per share. (See Warrants discussion below).

 

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no conversions of shares of Series E Preferred.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 21,418 shares of Series E Preferred were issued and outstanding.

 

Series G preferred stock

 

On December 31, 2021, we entered into securities purchase agreements with investors pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of (i) 710,000 shares of a newly created series of preferred stock called the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred”) and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 700,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 (the “Series G Offering”). In connection with the Series G Offering, on December 28, 2021, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (as amended, the “Series G COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series G Preferred. The Series G Preferred has a stated value of $10.00 per share (the “Series G Stated Value”). The gross proceeds to the Company from the Series G Offering were $7,100,000.

 

Pursuant to the Series G COD,

 

  Each holder of Series G Preferred has the right to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series G Preferred held by such holder are convertible as of the applicable record date.
     
  Unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders, for a period of one-year beginning with the original issuance date, as defined, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to redeem all outstanding Series G Preferred (and not any part of the Series G Preferred) at a price equal to 115% of (i) the Series G Stated Value per share plus (ii) all unpaid dividends thereon. If the Company fails to redeem all outstanding Series G Preferred on the redemption date, it shall be deemed to have waived its redemption right.

 

Subject to a beneficial ownership limitation and customary adjustments for stock dividends and stock splits, each share of Series G Preferred shall be convertible into that number of shares of common stock calculated by dividing the Series G Stated Value of each share of Series G Preferred being converted by the applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price of the Series G Preferred is $0.01, subject to adjustment as provided below. In addition, the Company will issue a holder of Series G Preferred converting all or any portion of their Series G Preferred an additional sum (the “Series G Make Good Amount”) equal to $210 for each $1,000 of Series G Stated Value converted pro-rated for amounts more or less than $1,000 (the “Series G Extra Amount”). Subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, the Make Good Amount shall be paid in shares of common stock, as follows: the number of shares of common stock issuable as the Make Good Amount shall be calculated by dividing the Series G Extra Amount by the product of 80% times the average VWAP for the five trading days prior to the date a holder of Series G Preferred delivered a notice of conversion to the Company (the “Conversion Date”).

 

If and whenever on or after the initial issuance date but not after two years from the original issuance date, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, additional shares of common stock, options, warrants of convertible instruments, subject to certain exceptions, for a consideration per share (the “Base Share Price”) less than a price equal to the applicable conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such conversion price then in effect is reflected to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the conversion price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Base Share Price.

From and after the original issuance date, cumulative dividends on each share of Series G Preferred shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 6% per annum based on a 360-day year on the Series G Stated Value plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has accrued dividends of $785,845 and $620,975, respectively, which has been included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

On a pari passu basis with the holders of Series E Preferred, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series G Preferred is entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Series G Stated Value and then receive a pro-rata portion of the remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock on an as-converted to common stock basis. The holders of Series G Preferred have the right to participate, pro rata, in each subsequent financing in an amount up to 40% of the total proceeds of such financing on the same terms, conditions and price otherwise available in such subsequent financing.

 

Approval of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series G Preferred is required to: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any Certificate of Designation (however such document is named) or articles of amendment to create any class or any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series G Preferred, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or by merger, consolidation or otherwise or filing any Certificate of Designation, but the creation of a new security having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series G Preferred in a future financing will not constitute an amendment, addition, alteration, filing, waiver or repeal for these purposes; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series G Preferred; (c) issue any Series E Preferred or Series D Preferred, (d) issue any Series G Preferred in excess of 1,000,000 or (e) without limiting any provision under the Series G COD, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series G Preferred, circumvent a right of the Series G Preferred.

 

Under the terms of the Series G Preferred, if the Company issues or sells (or is deemed to have issued or sold) additional shares of common stock for a price-per-share that is less than the price equal to the conversion price of the Series G Preferred held by the holders of the Series G Preferred immediately prior to such issuance, then the conversion price of the Series G Preferred will be reduced to the price per share of such dilutive issuance. As a result of the issuance of common stock on the exercise of certain Eligible Warrants at an exercise price of $0.002 per share, the conversion price for all 406,500 remaining outstanding Series G Preferred shall henceforth be $0.002 per share.

 

The Series G Preferred share issuances with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the consolidated balance sheet was appropriate. As per the terms of the Series G preferred stock agreements, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to redeem all outstanding Series G Preferred (and not any part of the Series E Preferred) at a price equal to 115% of (i) the Series G Stated Value per share plus (ii) all unpaid dividends thereon. As such, since Series G Preferred is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is within the Company’s control, the Series G Preferred is classified as permanent equity.

 

The Company concluded that the Series G Preferred represented an equity host and, therefore, the redemption feature of the Series G Preferred was considered to be clearly and closely related to the associated equity host instrument. The redemption features did not meet the net settlement criteria of a derivative and, therefore, were not considered embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. The Company also concluded that the conversion rights under the Series G Preferred were clearly and closely related to the equity host instrument. Accordingly, the conversion rights feature on the Series G Preferred were not considered an embedded derivative that required bifurcation.

 

On June 22, 2023, the Company offered holders of warrants issued in the Series E Offering and warrants issued in the Series G Offering to purchase up to an aggregate of 977,912,576 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share (the “Eligible Warrants”) the opportunity to exercise the Eligible Warrants at $0.002 per share (the “Offer”). The Offer was contingent upon enough Eligible Warrants being exercised so that the Company received aggregate minimum proceeds of $500,000. The Company received gross proceeds of $619,111 from the exercise of the Eligible Warrants.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $619,111 and issued 309,555,430 shares of common stock to holders of Eligible Warrants upon the exercise of Eligible Warrants to purchase 309,555,430 shares of common stock. The proceeds were used by the Company to meet general capital requirements. (See Warrants discussion below).

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 501,923,275 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of 99,500 shares of Series G Preferred and accrued dividends payable of $74,967. The conversion ratio was based on the Series G COD.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,408,335,128 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of 69,000 shares of Series G Preferred and accrued dividends payable of $128,208. The conversion ratio was based on the Series G COD.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 406,500 and 475,500 shares of Series G Preferred were issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

Series H preferred stock

 

On September 20, 2022, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating 35,000 shares of preferred stock as Series H (“Series H Preferred”). The Series H Preferred has no stated value and pursuant to the Series H COD:

 

  Each share of Series H Preferred shall have no voting rights.
     
  Each share of Series H Preferred shall be convertible into 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the beneficial ownership limitations. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred held by such holder. The holder of Series H Preferred and the Company, by mutual consent, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of the Series H COD, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series H Preferred held by the Holder.
     
  Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series H Preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of assets of the Company legally available therefor the same amount that a holder of the Company’s common stock would receive on an as-converted basis (without regard to the beneficial ownership limitation or any other conversion limitations hereunder). The right of a Series H Holder to receive such payment shall be preferential to the right of holders of common stock but shall be subordinate to the rights of the holder of any other series of preferred stock of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

In connection with the acquisitions of Freight Connections, on September 16, 2022, the Company issued 32,374 shares of Series H Preferred. These shares were valued in the amount of $1,910,066 based on the as if converted fair value of the underlying common stock, or $0.0059 per share, based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date.

 

As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, 32,374 shares of Series H Preferred were outstanding.

 

Series I Preferred Stock

 

On July 14, 2023, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation, Rights and Limitations of Series I Preferred Shares with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Series B Preferred COD”) designating 1 share of Series I Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 (the “Series I Preferred”).

 

Since a substantial portion of the unissued shares of Common Stock are held in reserve in connection with rights of conversion of convertible preferred stock and/or debt and/or exercise of warrants and/or options, the Company will not be able to issue shares in connection with additional equity investments (including any requirements by investors to place shares of Common Stock in reserve for conversion of convertible preferred stock and/or debt and/or exercise of warrants and/or options), unless the Company amends its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of additional Common Stock. Senior management believed it was in the interest of the Company that the Articles of Incorporation of the Company be amended to authorize the issuance of 50,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Share Increase Proposal”).

 

In connection with obtaining expeditious stockholder approval of the amendment to its Articles of Incorporation for the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, the Company issued a new series of Series I Preferred having the right to vote and/or consent solely on the Authorized Share Increase Proposal. Solely with respect to the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, the Series I Preferred had voting power equal to 51% of the number of votes eligible to vote at any special or annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (with the power to take action by written consent in lieu of a stockholders meeting). The Series I Preferred Stock had no right to vote and/or consent on any matter other than an Authorized Share Increase Proposal. The Series I Preferred was not entitled to participate in any distribution of assets or rights upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, was not convertible into Common Stock, or any other security of the Company, and was not entitled to any dividends or distributions.

 

In July 2023, John Mercadante, a member of the Board, was issued one share of Series I Preferred, which was determined to have no value.

 

Upon approval of the Authorized Share Increase Proposal on July 27, 2023, the Series I Preferred issued and outstanding was automatically surrendered to the Company and cancelled for no consideration upon the effectiveness of the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation that was authorized by stockholder approval of such Authorized Share Increase Proposal. Upon such surrender and cancellation, all rights of the Series I Preferred Stock ceased and terminated, and the Series I Preferred Stock was retired and returned to the status of authorized and unissued preferred stock.

 

Common stock

 

On July 27, 2023, the stockholders holding at least 51% of the voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon (the “Consenting Stockholders”) consented in writing to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, by adoption of the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (“2023 Amendment”). This consent was sufficient to approve the 2023 Amendment under Nevada law, which authorized an increase of the number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue to 50,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.001.

 

Shares issued in connection with conversion of Series G preferred shares

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 501,923,275 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of 99,500 shares of Series G Preferred and accrued dividends payable of $74,967. The conversion ratio was based on the Series G COD.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,408,335,128 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of 69,000 shares of Series G Preferred and accrued dividends payable of $128,208. The conversion ratio was based on the Series G COD.

 

Shares issued upon exercise of warrants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 309,555,430 shares of its common stock attributed to: (i) 181,634,858 shares of its common stock in connection with the receipt of proceeds of $363,270 from the exercise of 181,634,858 warrants at $0.002 per share and (ii) 127,920,572 shares of its common stock and received proceeds of $255,841 from the exercise of 127,920,572 warrants at $0.002 per share.

 

Shares issued for compensation

 

On January 3, 2023, the Board granted the former chief operating officer 21,634,615 shares of its common stock which were valued at $90,865, or $0.0042 per common share, based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date. These shares vested in equal quarterly installments with the first installment of 5,408,653 shares vesting on March 31, 2023, and 5,408,654 shares vesting each quarter through December 31, 2023. The Company valued these shares of common stock at a fair value of $90,865 and recorded stock-based compensation expense over the one-year vesting period, which is included in the aggregate accretion of stock-based compensation reflected below.

Warrants

 

Warrants issued and exercised in connection with Series G Offering

 

On June 22, 2023, the Company offered holders of certain warrants to purchase 977,912,576 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per shares issued in connection with the Series G Offering (the “Eligible Warrants”) the opportunity to exercise the Eligible Warrants at $0.002 per share (the “Offer”). The Offer was contingent upon the Offer being exercised with regard to Eligible Warrants aggregating minimum proceeds to the Company of $500,000 prior to July 11, 2023.

 

Under the terms of the Eligible Warrants, if, other than upon conversion of existing convertible preferred stock, the Company issues shares of common stock, or securities exercisable to purchase or convertible into, shares of common stock, for a purchase price that is less than the exercise price of Eligible Warrants in effect at such time, then the exercise price of all Eligible Warrants will be reduced to the price per share of such dilutive issuance. As a result of the issuance of common stock on the exercise of certain Eligible Warrants at an exercise price of $0.002 per share on June 29, 2023, the exercise price for all remaining Eligible Warrants shall henceforth be $0.002 per share.

 

On June 29, 2023, the Company calculated the fair value of the Eligible Warrants prior to the ratchet provision and the fair value of the Eligible warrants after the ratchet provision using a Binomial pricing model. Based on this calculation, the incremental value received by the warrant holders was calculated and amounted to $255,986. This incremental value was allocated as follows: $52,508 was allocated to additional paid-in capital as offering cost associated with the exercise of warrants, and the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $203,477 related to Eligible Warrants that were not exercised pursuant to the offer.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 309,555,430 shares of its common stock and received proceeds of $619,111 from the exercise of 309,555,430 warrants at $0.002 per share. The proceeds are being used by the Company to meet general capital requirements.
