NOTE 12 – CAPITAL STOCK

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock in one or more designated series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock from the shares of all other series and classes. The Company’s board of directors is authorized, without stockholders’ approval, within any limitations prescribed by law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock.

 

Series C Preferred Shares

 

On August 17, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation for a newly created Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock consisting of 100 shares, $0.001 par value of authorized but unissued preferred stock of the Company (“Series C Preferred Shares”). The Company initially issued each of Skycrest and Greyt, 50 shares of the Series C Preferred Shares in connection with a “change in control” transaction” consummated in August 2022. On December 17, 2024, the Company filed an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Certificate of Designation of our Series C Preferred Shares.

 

During December 2024, Skycrest requested that it be allowed to transfer the 50 shares of Series C Preferred Shares of the Company it holds to Ian T. Bothwell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“Transfer”). In December 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Transfer and the Transfer was completed.

 

The Series C Preferred Shares vote together with shares of our common stock as a single class on all matters presented to a vote of stockholders and represent 51% of the voting control of the Company, except as required by law. The Series C Preferred Shares are not convertible into common stock, do not have any dividend rights and do have a nominal liquidation preference. The Series C Preferred Shares also have certain protective provisions, such as requiring the vote of a majority of Series C Preferred Shares to change or amend their rights, powers, privileges, limitations and restrictions, including the assignment of interests and redemption provisions.

 

Common Stock

 

On November 7, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock on a one-for-two-hundred basis. The reverse stock split was effective with FINRA on November 28, 2023 (the “Reverse Split”). The par value of the Company’s common stock was unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Reverse Split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the split as if it occurred at the earliest period presented.

 

Sale Of Common Stock

 

On July 8, 2024, the Company completed a $500,000 private financing (“Financing”) with a single accredited investor (“Investor”).

Upon termination of the agreement for any reason, any unvested stock shall be forfeited. In addition, the Second Consultant will be entitled to receive commissions on sales of the Company’s products to customers introduced by the Second Consultant in the form of cash and common stock of the Company based on sales milestones.

The Company will amortize $82,000 of stock-based compensation prorata over the vesting period once the Second Consultant has achieved minimum Sales Milestone. During May 2026, the Company and the Second Consultant amended the agreement whereby the Milestone was terminated without the Second Consultant achieving the Milestone and the shares were forfeited and the Company did not record any expense in connection with the grant of shares. As an inducement to enter into the amendment, the Company agreed to issue the Second Consultant 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company with a fair value of $___, if customer sales attributed to the Second Consultant exceeds $200,000 for 2 consecutive months during the months from May 2026 through December 2026.
