PREFERRED STOCK | NOTE 11 — PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue shares of Preferred Stock at $ par value per share with the following designations.
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
On September 21, 2020, the Company created a series of Preferred Stock designating shares as Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s Common Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock does not bear a dividend or have voting rights and is not convertible into shares of our Common Stock.
Series B Preferred Stock
On December 14, 2020, the Company designated shares of its authorized preferred stock as Series B Convertible, Non-voting Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock does not bear a dividend or have voting rights. The Series B Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of common stock on January 1, 2023, at the rate of 10 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock; however, due to an ongoing dispute with certain holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, which is expected to be resolved through binding arbitration in December 2023, such conversion has not been effectuated as of the date hereof. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock have anti-dilution rights protecting their interests in the Company from the issuance of any additional shares of capital stock for a two year period following conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock calculated at the rate of 20% on a fully diluted basis.
On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into a three-year consulting agreement with Leonard Tucker LLC (“Tucker”). Per the terms of the agreement, Tucker received shares of Series B Preferred Stock for services provided, which shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be classified as mezzanine equity until they are fully issued. As a result of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Company’s litigation with Tucker, as of April 15, 2024 Tucker does not hold any shares of Series B Preferred Stock. See Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies (Legal Proceedings) below. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock were cancelled and credited to additional paid in capital.
Series C Preferred Stock
On February 19, 2021, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation whereby shares of preferred stock were designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to 100 votes and shall vote together with the holders of common stock. Each share of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into ten shares of common stock on January 1, 2023; however, such conversion has not been effectuated as of the date hereof.
