The shares issued consisted of 1.9 million shares issued upon common stock warrant exercises, 1.7 million shares issued in an underwritten public offering, 677 thousand shares issued as deferred acquisition consideration, 422 thousand shares, net of treasury shares, related to employee equity awards, 397 thousand shares issued through the Company's ATM program, 114 thousand shares issued in connection with preferred stock dividends, and 97 thousand shares issued to members of the Board of Directors.

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued 500 thousand shares of Common Stock, relating to preferred stock dividends, Board fees, deferred consideration and earnout commitments, and stock warrant exercise.

 

Public Offering

 

In February 2026, the Company sold in a public offering an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares (the “Offered Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, at a purchase price of $2.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, before deducting underwriting commissions and expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares, after deducting the fees of the underwriter but before paying the Company’s estimated Offering expenses, was $3.1 million.

 

ATM Sales Agreement

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and The Benchmark Company, LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agents, shares of Common Stock. Shares of

Common Stock may be offered and sold for an aggregate offering price of up to $15 million. The Sales Agents’ obligations to sell shares under the ATM Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the continuing effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-273098) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 25, 2024, and other customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents earn a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and has agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights, and the Company also reimburses the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the ATM Sales Agreement. Any sales of shares made under the ATM Sales agreement will be made pursuant to the effective shelf registration statement. On June 8, 2026, the aggregate authorized offering price under the ATM Sales Agreement was increased to $30 million.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold 397 thousand shares for net proceeds of $1.0 million, after deduction of commissions and fees, under the ATM Sales Agreement.

 

Non-Controlling Interest Buyout

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with holders of CONtv pursuant to which the Company acquired the remaining outstanding ownership interests in CONtv in exchange for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and cash payments. As a result of these transactions, CONtv became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

PREFERRED STOCK

 

The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends from the date of issuance at an annual rate of 10% of the original issue price. Such dividends shall be payable in arrears in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of Class A common stock, quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter, while such shares are outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock does not have voting rights, conversion rights, or redemption rights, but has liquidation rights up to the original issue price.

Cumulative dividends in arrears on our outstanding Series A preferred stock were $0.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025. For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid preferred stock dividends in the form of 114 thousand and 276 thousand shares of Common Stock, respectively.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with a holder of Series A preferred stock, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for the holder’s 3.118 shares of Series A preferred stock. The exchange is being made in five (5) equal tranches, commencing May 1, 2026, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in each tranche will be calculated by dividing the value of the shares of shares of preferred stock being exchanged by the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock ending on the trading day preceding the exchange.

 

TREASURY STOCK

 

We have treasury stock, at cost, consisting of 830 thousand shares and 504 thousand shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company retained 326 thousand shares of common stock as treasury stock related to the payment of employee taxes for restricted stock awards issued to employees. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company acquired 215 thousand shares of treasury stock, repurchased through Rule 10b5-1 and 10b-18 trading plans with B. Riley Securities, Inc.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

Awards issued under our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) were in any of the following forms (or a combination thereof) (i) stock option awards; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) stock or restricted stock or restricted stock units; or (iv) performance awards. The 2000 Plan provided for the granting of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. ISOs granted to shareholders having more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company must have exercise prices of at least 110% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. ISOs and non-statutory stock options granted under the 2000 Plan are subject to vesting provisions, and exercise is subject to the continuous service of the participant. The exercise prices and vesting periods (if any) for non-statutory options were set at the discretion of our Compensation Committee. The Company does not estimate forfeitures but recognizes forfeitures in the period in which they occur.

 

In August 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan). The 2017 Plan replaced the 2000 Plan, and applies to employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company. The 2017 Plan provided for the issuance of shares of Common Stock through various awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and cash awards.

Stock Options

As of March 31, 2026, there were no options outstanding and exercisable under the 2000 Plan.

As of March 31, 2025, the options outstanding and exercisable under the 2000 Plan were as follows:

Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs")

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 85 thousand SARs, which were granted under the 2017 Plan. No SARs were granted during the year ended March 31, 2025.

All SARs issued have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant with a maturity date of 10 years after grant date. The Company has the option to settle the SARs through a cash payment, issuance of shares, or some combination of cash payment and shares. Based on past practice and intent to settle these awards with shares of Class A common stock, the Company has determined that these awards should be classified in equity.

 

The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of SARs granted, as follows:
