NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

Authorized Shares

 

On February 12, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware to change the authorized shares. As amended at that time, the Company had the authority to issue 260,000,000 shares, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

On February 17, 2022, the Company filed an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to increase the authorized Common Stock from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares and to approve the Company’s 2022 Equity Plan. The Approving Stockholders (common stock only) owned 96,778,105 shares, representing 64.62% of the total issued and outstanding voting power of the Company.

 

Recent Corporate Actions – September 2025

 

On September 4, 2025, the Board of Directors unanimously approved, and the Company obtained the written consent of holders of a majority of the Company’s voting power for, corporate actions to (i) amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 750,000,000 and the authorized shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 and (ii) authorize the Board of Directors, in its discretion, to amend the Certificate of Incorporation not later than June 30, 2026, to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock in a ratio of not less than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-100, to be determined by the Board. On June 29, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, increasing the authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 750,000,000 and effecting the 1-for-100 reverse stock split described in Note 1, which became effective on July 10, 2026. On August 17, 2026, the Company filed a further Certificate of Amendment increasing the authorized shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000. Following these amendments, the Company is authorized to issue 765,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 750,000,000 shares of common stock and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On December 4, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series B Certificate of Designation designates 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized preferred stock (par value $0.0001 per share) as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” and establishes the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of such shares.

 

Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have no dividend rights except as may be declared by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion, out of funds legally available for that purpose. Each share is entitled to one (1) vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders, and holders generally vote together with holders of Common Stock as a single class. The vote or consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is required for: (i) matters that by law require the approval of the outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as a separate class; (ii) any amendment to the rights, preferences, privileges, or powers of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that would have a material adverse effect on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (iii) any increase in the aggregate authorized number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (iv) any action that reclassifies any outstanding shares into shares having priority as to dividends or assets senior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; or (v) any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Prior to its amendment, the Series B Certificate of Designation provided that each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible at the option of the holder, without payment of additional consideration, into one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock, and that the conversion rate was not subject to adjustment for stock splits or other changes to the Common Stock. In January 2026, and as further amended on August 17, 2026, the Series B Certificate of Designation was amended to provide that, upon a Rate Determination Event — consisting of either (i) the completion of a public offering of Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds of $10,000,000 or more that includes the listing of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange or (ii) any reverse stock split, combination, or similar reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock — the Board of Directors is authorized to determine and fix the conversion rate within a range of not more than one hundred (100) and not less than ten (10) shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The reverse stock split effected on July 10, 2026, constituted a Rate Determination Event, and the Board of Directors determined and fixed the conversion rate at fifty (50) shares of Common Stock for each one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, effective July 13, 2026. On July 13, 2026, all 2,371,844 outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 118,592,200 shares of Common Stock at that rate. The conversion was recorded as a reclassification of $237 of Series B Preferred stock par value and $3,344,063 of related additional paid-in capital to common stock ($11,859) and additional paid-in capital, with no gain or loss and no effect on total stockholders’ equity. The Series B Certificate of Designation provides that no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion (any fractional share entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole share).

 

Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that are converted into Common Stock or are otherwise acquired by the Company are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation as to class, and may thereafter be issued, but not as shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2026, no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, compared to 2,371,844 shares as of December 31, 2025.

Stock Subscription Receivable

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company carried a stock subscription receivable of $8,000,000 due from Mr. Gope S. Kundnani, a Director and majority shareholder of the Company, which was presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in accordance with ASC 505-10-45-2. In August 2026, the Company and Mr. Kundnani agreed that amounts paid by Mr. Kundnani and members of his family on the Company’s behalf, together with the release of certain related-party obligations of the Company, would be applied in payment of the subscription receivable, with any balance to be paid in cash. That agreement was documented in a Payment Direction and Subscription Settlement Agreement effective September 30, 2026, among the Company, Mr. Kundnani, Nicky G. Kundnani, Sync Capital Limited, Alchemy Prime Limited, and The Millionaires’ Club Ltd (the “Settlement Agreement”), which was approved by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

The non-cash components of the settlement are presented as supplemental non-cash financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. No shares were issued under the Settlement Agreement, and the number of shares held by Mr. Kundnani and his affiliates was unchanged. As of September 30, 2026, no stock subscription receivable remained outstanding.
