Description of Capital Stock
EXHIBIT 4.1
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of April 22, 2024, there were 243,450,745 shares of common stock, and 162.67 shares of Series A preferred stock, issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. However, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of the Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of or provision for all liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.
Blank Check Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors (commonly known as “blank check” preferred stock). The board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights that could dilute the voting strength of our common stockholder and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted changes in control.
Series A Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 200 shares of Series A preferred stock.
Dividends
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to dividends, which shall accrue after December 31, 2024, provided there has not been an Uplist (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) by such date. Dividends shall accrue and be paid whether or not such dividends are declared by the Board and are payable on a quarterly basis at the rate of 12% per annum, based on the Liquidation Value (as defined below) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the holder. The dividends shall be paid solely in shares of Common Stock and the holder shall not be entitled to cash or any other property from the Company. All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to all of the Company’s Common Stock, and any other class of securities that is specifically designated junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”), and (ii) junior to all class or series of Preferred Stock or other capital stock of the Company created after the date of the Certificate of Designation (with the written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, specifically ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock).
Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock are entitled, although not required to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock or convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a promissory note (a “Liquidation Note”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock on any given date shall have a value of $12,000 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, or similar transaction with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Liquidation Value”). The Liquidation Note shall be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution on parity with the holders of all convertible debt, including the convertible notes, issued prior to the date on which the Company initially issues such share, and before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Junior Securities by reason of such ownership, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of the Liquidation Note. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities.
Conversion
Upon written election to the Company, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert each outstanding share (partial conversions are not permitted) of Series A Preferred Stock into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing (a) the Liquidation Value of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted by (b) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such conversion. The initial conversion price per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall be $0.24 per share, subject to adjustment as applicable. For purposes of illustration only, if the holder has three (3) shares of Series A Preferred Stock and wants to convert two (2) of said shares, and the Conversion Price is $0.24, the holder shall receive 100,000 shares of Common Stock.
