Preferred Series F Convertible Stock

 

Purchase History

 

On June 26, 2022, the Company entered into the Series F Agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha"). Pursuant to the terms of the Series F Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) designated a new series of Preferred Stock, the Series F, and authorized the sale and issuance of up to 35,000 shares of Series F with a stated value of $1,000 per share. Pursuant to the Series F Agreement, sales of Series F are accompanied by warrants equal to the number of issuable shares upon conversion of the Series F to Common Stock (the “Series F Warrants”).

 

Additional Investment Right

 

The Series F Agreement provides Alpha the right to purchase up to an additional $25,000,000 stated value of Series F, after their initial 10,000 Series F purchased on June 26, 2022, and accompanying warrants (the “Additional Investment Right” or “AIR”). Under the AIR, the Series F and Series F Warrants are initially convertible and exercisable at a conversion and exercise price equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for three trading days prior to the date Alpha gives notice to the Company that it will exercise its AIR. Under the terms of the AIR, conversion and exercise prices are subject to downward adjustment for any equity instrument or equity-linked instrument sold or granted at an effective price per share that is lower than the initial conversion and exercise price (“Down Round Provision”). See Note 8 for warrant related disclosures.

 

On February 7, 2025, Alpha and the Company executed a funding agreement in which Alpha agreed to exercise its AIR quarterly to provide financing to the Company for the next twelve months, with such amounts and timing of funding to be agreed to by the parties.

 

As consideration for Alpha’s commitment to provide additional funding, the Company agreed to (i) extend the period in which Alpha can exercise its AIR by extending the termination date of December 31, 2025 to June 1, 2026 and (ii) granting Alpha certain registration rights related to the Series F Alpha currently holds and will receive upon further exercises of its AIR. The Company filed the required registration statement to register 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock which was declared effective by the SEC on April 25, 2025.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we issued the following Series F pursuant to the exercise of the AIR by Alpha:

 

 

On January 2, 2026, we issued 500 Series F to Alpha upon the exercise of their AIR and received $500,000 of gross proceeds. The Series F are initially convertible into 586,441 shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.8526 and Series F Warrants to purchase up to 586,441 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.8526. The Series F Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a three-year term. This issuance triggered down round provisions embedded in certain outstanding equity-linked instruments (the "January 2026 Down Round Trigger"). The impacts of this trigger event have been disclosed below. 

 

 

On May 27, 2026, we issued 500 Series F to Alpha upon the exercise of their AIR and received $500,000 of gross proceeds.

The Series F Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a three-year term. This issuance triggered down round provisions embedded in certain outstanding equity-linked instruments (the "May 2026 Down Round Trigger").

Series G Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On  November 5, 2025, the Company executed a certificate of designation (the "Series G Certificate of Designation") of preferences, rights and limitations of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, designating 100,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series G"), with a par value of $0.001 and a stated value of $1,000. The shares of Series G have no voting rights except as provided in the Series G Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law and only receive dividends when declared by the Board of Directors. Series G have liquidation preferences over common stockholders and are pari passu to Series F.  On  November 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain existing investors, one of which is Alpha (the "Purchasers"), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers in a registered direct offering an aggregate of up to 100,000 shares of the Series G. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Series G Certificate of Designation, the Series G were convertible immediately upon issuance, at an initial conversion price equal to $1.2300 per share. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustments 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 conversion price (subject to certain exceptions) ("Down Round Provision"). The Company agreed to sell, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agreed to purchase an aggregate of 12,000 shares of Series G on the initial closing date.

 

On  November 10, 2025, the Company sold 12,000 shares of Series G and received net cash proceeds of $11,507,338.  After issuance of the Series G, the Company sold Series F and Series F Warrants on  November 24, and  December 22, 2025 with conversion and exercise prices of $1.1347 and $$0.9615, respectively. This triggered the Down Round Provision embedded within the Series G and reduced the initial conversion price of $1.2300 to $1.1347 and further to $0.9615 on December 2025.  During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the conversion price was further reduced from $0.9615 to $0.8526 for the 6,190 Series G outstanding upon the January 2026 Down Round Trigger. The impacts of this trigger event are described below.  

 

On March 4 and 5, 2026, the Company sold 250 and 2,000 shares of Series G, respectively, and received aggregate net proceeds of $2,250,000. The Series G were convertible immediately upon issuance, at an initial conversion price equal to $1.00 per share. 

 

On May 14 and 28, 2026, the Company sold 2,000 and 3,000 shares of Series G, respectively, and received aggregate net proceeds of $5,000,000.

Down Round Triggers and Deemed Dividends

 

       We have several outstanding equity classified and equity-linked instruments that include down round provisions in which the conversion or exercise price is adjusted down upon the Company’s issuance of its Common Stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share that is less than the conversion or exercise price of the equity-linked instruments. As of March 31, 2026, these equity-linked instruments include the Series F, Series F Warrants, Series G and Series B Warrants. 

 

      Upon a down round provision being triggered in an equity classified instrument, we compute the incremental value provided to the holder for the reduction in conversion or exercise price using a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the equity-linked instruments prior to and after the down round provision trigger. The incremental value is recorded within stockholders’ equity as a deemed dividend.  Specifically, deemed dividends increase additional paid in capital and increase accumulated deficit and increase total net loss or decrease to total net income attributable to common stockholders in computing earnings per share on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

       During the periods ende June 30, 2026 and 2025, we used the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model used to compute the incremental value for the conversion price reductions in the Series F and Series G and Series F Warrants and Series B Warrants:

On  April 2, 2025, the Company and the majority holder of the Series B warrants executed an Amendment to the Series B Warrant to Purchase Common Stock and Exchange Agreement (the "Series B Amendment"). The Series B Amendment amended the contractual terms of the Series B warrants as disclosed in Note 6.  As consideration for the holder amending the contractual terms of the Series B warrants, we issued to the holder 88,908 shares of Common Stock for no consideration in exchange for 125,362 Series F warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $1.10 (see Note 8). We have included the fair value of these shares issued of $108,468, based on the market price of our stock on the date of the exchange, within stockholders' equity as a deemed dividend. 

 

Below is a summary of the deemed dividends resulting from the March and May 2025 Down Round Trigger that reduced the conversion and exercise price of outstanding Series F Preferred Stock and Series F Warrants during the six months ended  June 30, 2025.
