In addition, holders of Series C Stock shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, payment-in-kind dividends on each share of Series C Stock, accruing at a rate equal to five percent (5.0%) per annum payable in shares of Series C Stock on the date that is 180 days after the date of the original issuance of such Series C Stock or such earlier date that that such holder may convert any portion of the Series C Stock to Common Stock.

 

Except as otherwise required by law, the Series C Stock does not have voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series C Stock are outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the Series C Stock , (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series C Stock or alter or amend the Series C Certificate of Designation, amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Company’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”) or Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of Preferred Stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series C Stock , regardless of whether any of the foregoing actions shall be by means of amendment to the Charter or by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion or otherwise, (ii) issue further shares of Series C Stock , or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series C Stock (iii) prior to the Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation) or at any time while at least 30% of the originally issued Series C Stock remains issued and outstanding, consummate either: (A) any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation) or (B) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any stock sale to, or other business combination in which the stockholders of the Company immediately before such transaction do not hold at least a majority of the capital stock of the Company immediately after such transaction, or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

The Series C Stock shall rank on parity with the Common Stock as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

 

Following stockholder approval of the Conversion Proposal, each share of Series C Stock will automatically convert into one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations provided in the Series C Certificate of Designation, including that the Company shall not affect any conversion of Series C Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not apply after the stockholder approval of the Change of Control Proposal and upon the occurrence of certain other events as set forth in the Series C Certificate of Designation.

 

 

If at any time following the earliest of Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation), the occurrence of an event set forth in clause (ii) of Section 1.4(a) of the Exchange Agreement, or September 1, 2025, the Company fails to deliver to a holder certificates representing shares of Common Stock or electronically deliver such shares, the Series C Stock is redeemable for cash at the option of the holder thereof at a price per share equal to the then-current Fair Value of the Series C Stock , as defined and described in the Series C Certificate of Designation.

On May 15, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series D Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Certificate of Designation”, and together with the Series C Certificate of Designation and the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation, the “Certificates of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with Merger. The Series D Certificate of Designation provides for the designation of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock.

 

Subject to the senior rights of the Senior Preferred Stock (as defined in the Series D Certificate of Designation), and pari passu with the holders of shares of Series C Stock (the “Parity Stock” as defined in the Series D Certificate of Designation), from and after the first date of issuance of any Series D Preferred Stock, each holder of a share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board, from time to time, in its sole discretion, which dividends shall by paid by the Company out of funds legally available therefor, payable, subject to the conditions and other terms of the Series D Certificate of Designation, in cash, in securities of the Company or any other entity, or using assets as determined by the Board on the Stated Value (as defined in the Series D Certificate of Designation) of such share of Series D Preferred Stock.

Following stockholder approval of the Conversion Proposal, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common stock using a Conversion Price of $10.00 and a Stated Value of $1,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock (as each term is defined in the Series D Certificate of Designation).

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

There were 133,917 and 134,397 options outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company issued 20,426 and 0 options, respectively.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the fair value of each option granted was estimated using the assumption and/or factors in the Black-Scholes Model as follows:

 

Exercise price  $0.56 
Expected dividend yield   0%
Risk free interest rate   4.26%
Expected life in years   6.02 
Expected volatility   159%

 

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption for options granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States Government Bond Equivalent Yield appropriate for the expected term of warrants.

 

The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for options granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companies’ common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future warrant grants, until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.

 

The dividend yield assumption for options granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
