Series H-6 Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 5, 2020, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock (the “Series H-6 Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing and designating the rights, powers and preferences of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock. The Company designated up to shares of Series H-6 Preferred Stock and each share has a stated value of $ (the “H-6 Stated Value”). Each share of Series H-6 Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into a number of shares of common stock of the Company determined by dividing the H-6 Stated Value by the initial conversion price of $460.80 per share, which was then further reduced to $320.00 under the anti-dilution adjustment provision, subject to a 9.99% blocker provision and further reduced to $92.16 under the anti-dilution adjustment provision. The Series H-6 Preferred Stock has the same dividend rights as the common stock, except as provided for in the Series H-6 Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law. The Series H-6 Preferred Stock also has the same voting rights as the common stock, except that in no event shall a holder of Series H-6 Preferred Stock be permitted to exercise a greater number of votes than such holder would have been entitled to cast if the Series H-6 Preferred Stock had immediately been converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $92.16. In addition, a holder (together with its affiliates) may not be permitted to vote Series H-6 Preferred Stock held by such holder to the extent that such holder would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Company common stock. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution, the Series H-6 Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock in the distribution of assets, to the extent legally available for distribution.
The holders of Series H-6 Preferred Stock are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable conversion price of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock. If any such dilutive issuance occurs prior to the conversion of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock, the conversion price will be adjusted downward to a price that cannot be less than $92.16.

Series I Preferred Stock
On August 4, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series I Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which it agreed to sell (i) an aggregate of shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series I Preferred Stock, with a par value of $ per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into up to shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Series I Preferred Stock (the “Series I Certificate of Designations”) and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of shares of common stock (the “Series I Warrants”) at an exercise price of $8.00 per share (collectively, the “Series I Private Placement”). The closing of the Series I Private Placement occurred on August 8, 2025. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Series I Private Placement were $7,000,000.
In connection with the Series I Private Placement, pursuant to (A) an engagement letter (the “GPN Agreement”) with GP Nurmenkari Inc. (“GPN”) and (B) an engagement letter (the “Palladium Agreement,” and collectively with the GPN Agreement, the “Engagement Letters”) with Palladium Capital Group, LLC (“Palladium,” and collectively with GPN, the “Placement Agents”), the Company engaged the Placement Agents to act as non-exclusive placement agents in connection with the Series I Private Placement, pursuant to which, the Company agreed to (i) pay each Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 4% of the gross proceeds of the Series I Private Placement (including any cash proceeds realized by the Company from the exercise of any outstanding warrants of the Company), (ii) reimbursement and payment of certain expenses, and (iii) issue to each of the Placement Agents on the closing date, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to 4% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying the securities issued in the Series I Private Placement, including upon exercise of any outstanding warrants of the Company, with terms identical to the Series I Warrants (the “Series I Placement Agent Warrants”).
The Series I Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock (the “Series I Conversion Shares”) at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share (the “Series I Conversion Price”). The Series I Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, stock combinations and the like and dilutive issuances (in each case, subject to certain exceptions). The Company is required to redeem the Series I Preferred Stock in equal instalments, commencing on November 30, 2025, and thereafter on the last trading day of the third calendar month immediately following the previous Instalment Date, until the maturity date of October 27, 2027.
The holders of the Series I Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 7% per annum, compounded each calendar quarter, which are payable in arrears (i) quarterly on each Installment Date (as defined in the Series I Certificate of Designations), in cash out of funds legally available therefor and, (ii) prior to the first Installment Date, payable by way of inclusion of the dividends in the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Series I Certificate of Designations) on each conversion date occurring prior to the first Installment Date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series I Certificate of Designations), the Series I Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. The holders of the Series I Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series I Preferred Stock is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $7.628 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series I Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Certificate of Designations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions using shares of common stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series I Certificate of Designations. Further, the Series I Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series I Preferred Stock under the Series I Certificate of Designations.
The Series I Certificate of Designations includes certain triggering events including, among other things, the suspension from trading or the failure of the common stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible market for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days, the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Series I Preferred Stock when due. In connection with a triggering event, each holder of Series I Preferred Stock will be able to require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s shares of Series I Preferred Stock at a premium set forth in the Series I Certificate of Designations.
The shares of Series I Preferred Stock were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event and 3) an increase in the dividend rate related to the occurrence of a triggering event. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company estimated the $23,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at issuance using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs: (i) estimated equity volatility of %, (ii) the time to maturity of years, (iii) a discounted market interest rate of %, (iv) dividend rate of %, (v) a penalty dividend rate of %, and (vi) probability of default of %. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.
The discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series I Preferred Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a total discount of $ upon issuance of the Series I Preferred Stock, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of the associated embedded derivative of $24,000, stock issuance costs of $1,322,669, of which $567,854 was paid in cash and $754,815 was allocated as the Series I Placement Agent Warrants both of which were recorded to mezzanine equity, and the fair value of the Series I Warrants of $3,981,034. As of December 31, 2025, it is probable that the Series I Preferred Stock will be redeemed. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company is accreting the discount on the effective interest method and $941,478 was recorded as a deemed dividend during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
In connection with the Series I Purchase Agreement, the Company and the investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series I Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company is required to file a resale registration statement (the “Series I Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale 200% of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series I Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Series I Warrants promptly following the closing date, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the closing date, and to have such Series I Registration Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Series I Registration Rights Agreement). On September 8, 2025, the Company filed the Series I Registration Statement with the SEC and subsequently amended the Series I Registration Statement on October 10, 2025. On January 9, 2026, the SEC declared the Series I Registration Statement effective.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $190,987 of net preferred dividends.
Common Stock Warrants
Series H-7 Warrants
In August 2023, the Company issued certain warrants to purchase common stock (the “Series H-7 Warrants”) pursuant to the Series H-7 Purchase Agreement (as defined above). The Series H-7 Warrants are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments, if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable exercise price. The exercise price of the Series H-7 Warrants is subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price. As a result of the 2023 Reverse Stock Split, the exercise price of the Series H-7 Warrants was adjusted from $128.00 to $32.00 and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants was adjusted proportionally to an additional 525,937 shares of common stock.
Pursuant to the share combination event adjustment provisions in the Series H-7 Warrants, the 2025 Reverse Stock Split adjusted the exercise price from $32.00 per share to $6.1933 per share and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series H-7 Warrants was adjusted proportionally to an additional 2,922,020 shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 3,623,270 Series H-7 Warrants outstanding.
The additional Series H-7 Warrants were determined to be subject to liability classification as they are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock but contain a provision where the holder of the Series H-7 Warrants have the right to require the Company to redeem the Series H-7 Warrants from the holder in cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Series H-7 Warrants at that time, in accordance with ASC 815. As such, the Company recorded the Series H-7 Warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. See Note 10. Fair Value Measurements for inputs related to the Company’s use of the Black-Scholes Model to calculate the value of the Series H-7 Warrants.
Series I Warrants
On August 6, 2025, the Company issued certain warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series I Warrants”) pursuant to the Series I Purchase Agreement, with an exercise price of $8.00 per share and a date of expiration five years from the date of issuance. The Series I Warrants are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments, if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable exercise price.
The Series I Warrants were determined to be subject to liability classification as they are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock but contain a provision where the holder of the Series I Warrants have the right to require the Company to redeem the Series I Warrants from the holder in cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Series I Warrants at that time, in accordance with ASC 815. As such, the Company recorded the Series I Warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the fair value of these Series I Warrants. The fair value of the Series I Warrants of $3,981,034 was estimated at the date of issuance using the stock price of $, an exercise price of $, and the following weighted average assumptions: (i) dividend yield %; (ii) expected term of years; (iii) equity volatility of %; and (iv) a risk-free interest rate of %.
In addition, the Company also issued the Series I Placement Agent Warrants (as defined herein) to purchase up to an aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock to the Placement Agents (as defined herein). The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the value of the Series I Placement Agent Warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2025. The fair value of the Series I Placement Agent Warrants of $636,966 was estimated at the date of issuance using the stock price of $, an exercise price of $, and the following weighted average assumptions: (i) dividend yield %; (ii) expected term of years; (iii) equity volatility of %; and (iv) a risk-free interest rate of %.
Series H-7 and Series I Warrant Amendment
On August 26, 2025, the Company entered into an omnibus amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the Required Holders (as defined in the Series H-7 Purchase Agreement and the Series I Purchase Agreement) to amend certain terms of the Series I Warrants and Series H-7 Warrants. The Warrant Amendment makes certain adjustments to the definition of a “Fundamental Transaction” and related provisions in each of the Warrants. In addition, the Warrant Amendment amends (i) the definition of the “Black Scholes Value” in the Series H-7 Warrants related to the volatility input, which is now calculated utilizing an expected volatility equal to the 30 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the trading day immediately following the earliest to occur of (1) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (2) the date of a holder’s request, and (ii) the definition of the “Black Scholes Consideration Value” in the Series H-7 Warrants related to the volatility input, which is now calculated utilizing an expected volatility equal to the 30 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the trading day immediately following the date of issuance of the applicable options, convertible securities or Adjustment Right (as defined in the Series H-7 Warrants). Further, the Warrant Amendment removes the provision in the Series H-7 Warrants providing for an adjustment in the exercise price of the Series H-7 Warrants upon (a) the increase or decrease of the purchase or exercise price of any options, (b) the issuance of additional consideration upon the conversion of any convertible securities or (c) the increase or decrease of the rate of conversion of any convertible securities.
The Warrant Amendment resulted in the Series I Warrants and Series H-7 Warrants to be considered equity classified in accordance with ASC 815. The fair value of the Series I Warrants and Series H-7 Warrants on August 26, 2025, of $18,608,000, was reclassified from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital. The Company remeasured the Series I Warrants and Series H-7 Warrants at fair value as of August 26, 2025, and recognized the change in fair value as a non-cash loss of $17,971,034. The fair value of the Series I Warrants and Series H-7 Warrants of $18,608,000 was estimated at August 26, 2025, utilizing the Black Scholes Model using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield %; remaining term of years and years, respectively; equity volatility of % and %, respectively; and a risk-free interest rate of % and %, respectively.
