NOTE 10 – PREFERRED STOCK

Series C Private Placement

Series C Preferred Stock

The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designations (the “Series C Certificate of Designations”). The Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary 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 Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). The conversion price was reduced to $0.95 after issuance pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Certificate of Designations.

The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends of 7% per annum, compounded quarterly, which will be payable in cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations), the Series C Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock as a single class on all matters that holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote upon, with the number of votes per Series C Preferred Share equal to the stated value of such Series C Preferred Share divided by the then applicable Conversion Price; provided, however that in no event shall the then applicable Conversion Price be less than the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635) on the date immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement. 

In October 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Special Meeting”). At the 2025 Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), (the “Exchange Cap”) the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock and Series C Warrants, which allows the Company to settle all Series C Preferred Stock conversions into shares of Common Stock. The Series C 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 C Preferred Stock or Series C Warrants.

The Company obtained stockholder approval to remove the Exchange Cap on October 30, 2025, upon which event the conversion floor price was adjusted to $0.19.

The Series C Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations), including, among other things, the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock when due. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock will be able to require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series C Preferred Stock at a premium set forth in the Series C Certificate of Designations.

The Series C Preferred Stock was determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified certain embedded features that were deemed not to be clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument and were therefore bifurcated as a derivative under ASC 815. 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

As of July 31, 2026, the Company is accreting the discount using the effective interest method and $621,217 was recorded as a deemed dividend during the three months ended July 31, 2026.

During the three months ended July 31, 2026, the Company recorded a gain of $597,000 related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimated the $281,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at July 31, 2026 using a probability-weighted scenario model, with the following inputs: the fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.58 on the measurement date, estimated equity volatility of 78.0%, the time to maturity of 0.56 years, the maturity redemption premium of 106%, the liquidation premium of 125% a market interest rate of 31.19%, a risk-free rate of 3.91%, and dividend rate of 7.00%. 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 scenarios without a derivative.

During the three months ended July 31, 2026, the Company recognized a total of $83,399 of preferred dividends at the stated dividend rate, of which $50,908 were paid in cash and $32,491 are accrued in accrued Series C dividends on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2026.
