NOTE 7STOCKHOLDER EQUITY

 

Preferred stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has designated 200 shares of Series A preferred stock, 600 shares of Series B preferred stock, 4,200 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 1,400 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, 1,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, 200,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 1 Special Voting Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no issued or outstanding shares of Series A, Series B, Series D, Series E and Series F preferred stock.

 

Special Voting Preferred Stock

 

In connection with the issuance of Exchangeable Shares, the Company designated one share of Special Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. One share of Special Voting Preferred Stock was issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025. No shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

 

The Special Voting Preferred Stock was issued to a trustee and does not have any economic rights, including rights to dividends or participation in liquidation, other than a nominal liquidation preference of $1.00. The Special Voting Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock.

 

 

The sole purpose of the Special Voting Preferred Stock is to provide voting rights to holders of Exchangeable Shares on an equivalent basis with holders of the Company’s common stock. The holder of the Special Voting Preferred Stock is entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the aggregate number of votes that the holders of Exchangeable Shares would be entitled to cast if such Exchangeable Shares were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with the Exchange Rights Agreement.

 

The voting rights associated with the Special Voting Preferred Stock terminate automatically upon the exchange or cancellation of all outstanding Exchangeable Shares, at which time the Special Voting Preferred Stock is automatically cancelled for no consideration.

 

Series C Preferred Stock

 

Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C”) issued and outstanding totaled 105 shares as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has accrued $121 and $110 dividends payable on the Series C, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the cumulative dividend per share payable on the Series C was approximately $1,153 and $1,048, respectively.

 

Each share of Series C is convertible at the holder’s option into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.3197 per share, based on the stated value of $1,000 per preferred share. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding Series C shares were convertible into an aggregate of 370,910 shares of common stock, which includes 42,477 shares issuable for accrued dividends at a conversion rate of $2.8495 per share. The Series C is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection upon issuance of equity or equity-linked securities at an effective price below $0.3197 per share, as well as customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits and similar events.

 

The Series C ranks senior to common stock and all other equity securities with respect to dividends and liquidation. In the event of liquidation, holders are entitled to receive the stated value plus accrued but unpaid dividends and any other amounts due. The Series C becomes redeemable at a premium or subject to an increased dividend rate of 18% upon the occurrence of certain events, including but not limited to:

 

  failure to deliver common stock upon conversion within specified timeframes,
     
  failure to pay cash amounts due upon such failure,
     
  insufficient authorized shares to honor conversions,
     
  uncured material breaches of agreements related to the Series C,
     
  a change of control transaction,
     
  bankruptcy or insolvency, or
     
  an unstayed judgment exceeding $100,000 for more than 45 days.

 

Common stock

 

On September 5, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation that increased the amount of common stock authorized for issuance to 500,000,000 with a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 49,805,275 and 17,239,096 shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

On January 31, 2024, the Company filed a Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective February 2, 2024. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company accounted for the reverse stock split on a retrospective basis pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. All authorized, issued and outstanding common stock, common stock warrants, stock option awards, exercise prices and per share data have been adjusted in these consolidated financial statements, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. Authorized common and preferred stock was not adjusted because of the reverse stock split.

 

 

On May 2, 2025, the Company cancelled an aggregate of 272,399 shares of its common stock, consisting of 158,096 shares returned by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth Londoner, and 114,303 shares returned by Endicott Management Partners LLC, an entity affiliated with Mr. Londoner. All cancelled shares were surrendered to the Company and retired, resulting in a reduction to the total number of issued and outstanding shares.

 

Exchangeable Shares

 

In connection with the Acquisition, ExchangeCo issued Exchangeable Shares that are exchangeable into the Company’s common stock and include economic rights that are substantially similar to the Company’s common stock, including rights to dividends, liquidation preferences, and voting (via a Special Voting Preferred Stock held by a trustee). Prior to the receipt of stockholder approval, certain rights associated with the Exchangeable Shares were subject to exercise contingencies, including (i) the ability to exchange into more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “NASDAQ 19.99% limitation”) and (ii) the receipt of special voting rights. In addition, the Exchange Ratio was subject to adjustment from 1.00 to 1.25 shares of the Company’s common stock for each Exchangeable Share if stockholder approval was not obtained within six months of issuance. These features, taken together, precluded equity classification under ASC 815-40 and resulted in the Exchangeable Shares being initially classified as a derivative liability under ASC 815 and measured at fair value.

 

For additional information regarding the Exchangeable Shares issued in connection with the Acquisition, see Note 11, Business Acquisition. For related fair value measurement disclosures, including the applicable fair value hierarchy classification, see Note 12, Fair Value Measurements. For an overview of the Company’s derivative financial instruments and related disclosures required by ASC 815, see Note 17, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.

 

The Exchangeable Shares were initially recognized as a derivative liability at fair value, measured at $105.5 million as of the acquisition date. They were remeasured at fair value through earnings each reporting period for as long as the exercise contingencies—including the NASDAQ 19.99% limitation and the requirement for shareholder approval—remained unresolved. On November 4, 2025 the Company received shareholder approval. As a result, the conversion cap was removed, and Streamex Exchange shareholders may now convert their Exchangeable Shares into the Company’s common stock. Concurrently, the derivative liability associated with the Exchangeable Shares was reclassified to permanent equity.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, certain investors converted exchangeable shares into 1,078,108 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 107,991,931 Exchangeable Shares outstanding that are convertible into the same number of the Company’s common stock.

Equity Line of Credit

 

On February 28, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Equity Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Lind Global Fund III, LP (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor from time to time (each such occurrence, an “Advance”) up to $5.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), during the 36 months following the execution of the Subscription Agreement, subject to (a) an overall cap of 10,000,000 shares and (b) the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The Company is under no obligation to sell any of its Common Stock to the Investor under the Subscription Agreement. At the Company’s option, the shares of Common Stock would be purchased by the Investor from time to time at a price (the “Market Price”) equal to 95% of the lowest of the daily VWAPs (as hereinafter defined) during a five (or such other period as the Company and the Investor may agree) consecutive trading day period commencing on the date that the Company delivers a notice to the Investor (an “Advance Notice”) that the Company is requiring the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock (the “Advance Shares”). The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable price per share in each Advance. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may require the Investor to purchase in any Advance is an number equal to 66.667% of the average daily volume of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Advance Notice; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in any period of 30 consecutive days, the total number of Advance Shares that the Company may sell to the Investor may be up to 0.5% of the quotient of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Advance divided by the Market Price determined for such Advance.

 

As consideration for the Investor’s irrevocable commitment (subject to the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement) to purchase the Company’s Common Stock up to the Commitment Amount, the Company issued 108,542 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to the Investor with a grant date fair value of $100. The Company had previously advanced to the Investor $10 to cover certain expenses related to the Subscription Agreement.

 

The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), registering the issuance and sale of the Commitment Shares and the Advance Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC. The Company has not filed a registration statement on a Form S-1 or Form S-3 as of December 31, 2025.
