As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company has accrued dividends of $199,652 and $195,425, 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 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.

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.
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.
