NOTE 15 — Members’ Deficit

Series A Units

The Company has 245,300 units of Series A units authorized and outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, other than the Series A Units classified as mezzanine equity discussed in Note 14. Series A units entitle the holder to receive an eight percent (8%) per annum rate of return on the unrecovered capital contribution of such holder, and such holder shall receive priority in distributions with respect to such preferred return.

Holders of the Series A units are not entitled to vote on, or consent to, any matter reserved for vote, or presented for vote, of the members. Series A units are not entitled to receive any distributions other than the preferred return and a return of the capital contributions. Accrued dividends on Series A units are included in Accumulated Deficit and accrued in Dividend Payable.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had accrued dividends payable to Series A unit holders of $427,766 and $376,399, respectively.

Series B Units

The Company has authorized 315,539,527 Series B units. The Series B units entitle the holder to receive a proportionate share of all distributions after payment of the preferred return and the return of capital on the Series A units.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 9,906,827 Series B units outstanding.

Series C Units

The Series C units are “profits interests” granted to directors, employees and consultants from time to time under the 2012 Plan. Holders of the Series C units do not have voting rights. A number of Series C units equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total outstanding Series B units and Series C units are reserved for grants under the plan. The allocation and vesting terms of grants of Series C units are determined by the Board of Directors.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 1,748,264 of Series C membership interests authorized, and 1,584,327 units of Series C membership interests issued and outstanding.

Warrants and Options

The Company has issued warrants in connection with notes issued between 2014 and 2021. Each warrant entitles the holder to one Series B unit at an exercise price of $0.01 per unit.

Pursuant to a note issued to Seaport in October 2019, as subsequently amended, Seaport has a $10.00 option to purchase a percentage of membership interests of the Company (determined on a fully diluted basis at the time of such exercise) equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount under such note, plus accrued and unpaid interest by (ii) $22,500,000. On June 13, 2023, the Company amended and restated its note with Seaport (the “2023 Seaport Note”). The 2023 Seaport Note provides for a maximum loan amount of $13,000,000, a 12% annual interest rate, a maturity date of March 31, 2024, and is senior secured indebtedness. In addition to principal and interest payable under the note, the note grants Seaport an option to purchase a percentage of membership interests of the Company (determined on a fully diluted basis at the time of such exercise) equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount under such note, plus accrued and unpaid interest by (ii) $20,010,000. The option has no expiration date and will be in full force and effect until it is exercised or the principal and accrued interest of the Seaport Note are paid in full.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 11,491,154 Series B and Series C units outstanding. See Note 12 — Debt and Warrant Liabilities, for further discussion of warrants.
