Series B and C Preferred Stock and ATM offering program

(12) Series B and C Preferred Stock and ATM offering program.

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of up to 4,000,000 of Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into one share of common stock, at the option of the holder, provided that certain regulatory-required conditions are met.

 

On August 9, 2024, the Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement with Securities and Exchange Commission, registering for sale of up to an aggregate of $25 million in shares of common stock through an at-the-market offering (“ATM Program”). Under the ATM Program, the Company sold 52,819 shares during the year ended on December 31, 2025, generating net proceeds of $217,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold an additional 174,348 common stock shares under the ATM program, generating net proceeds of $948,000. The ATM Program allows the Company to issue and sell to the public from time to time at prevailing market prices, at the Company’s discretion, newly issued shares of common stock. The ATM Program is expected to provide the Company with additional financing flexibility and intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program to facilitate growth.

 

On October 1, 2025, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock, which amended and restated the rights, preferences, powers, and limitations of the Company’s previously outstanding Series B-1, Series B-2, and Series B-3 Preferred Stock and consolidated such shares into a single class designated as Series B Preferred Stock. At that date, 1,360 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding. Except in the event of liquidation, if the Company declared or paid a dividend or distribution on the common stock, the Company shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the common stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to the record date of the applicable dividend. The Series B Preferred stock did not carry a stated dividend rate, and dividends were payable only if and when declared on the common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock had preferential liquidation rights over common stockholders. The liquidation price was the greater of (i) a stated liquidation preference per share or (ii) the amount that would have been received had all shares of Series B Stock been converted into common stock immediately prior to a liquidation. The Series B Preferred Stock generally had no voting rights except as provided in the Certificate of Designation.

 

As a result of the amendment, each share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible, at the option of the holder, into 8,172 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, mergers, or similar transactions, as provided in the Certificate of Designation. Conversion was subject to applicable ownership limitations and required federal and state banking regulatory approvals. In addition, conversion occurs automatically upon certain permitted transfers, as defined in the Certificate of Designation. The amendment represented a modification of the conversion rights of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and did not result in the issuance or redemption of any equity securities.

 

On January 27, 2026, the Company and Michael Blisko, a Director of the Company, entered into, and consummated the transaction contemplated by, an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Blisko exchanged 65 shares of Company Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for 531,178 newly issued shares of Company common stock.

 

On April 28, 2026, the Board and subsequently the Shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles Amendment”) to authorize a new class of capital stock designated as Nonvoting Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Nonvoting Common Stock”). The Articles Amendment authorizes the issuance of up to 30,000,000 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock. In May 2026, in accordance with the Articles Amendment, the Company exchanged all outstanding shares, or 1,295 and 875,641 shares of related party Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, for a total of 11,458,351 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock in the second quarter of 2026. Subsequent to the exchange, the Company undesignated the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
