Description of Securities
Exhibit 4.1
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OF KINDLY MD, INC.
General
The following description of our Common Stock and provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to such Articles of Incorporation and bylaws that will be in effect upon the closing of this offering. By becoming a shareholder in our Company, you will be deemed to have notice of and consented to these provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws.
Authorized Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock). The authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Voting Rights
Every shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote and held by him of record on the date fixed as the record date for said meeting and may so vote in person or by proxy. Any corporate action, other than the election of directors, shall be authorized by a simple majority of the votes cast in favor of or against such action by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon except as may otherwise be provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation. An abstention shall not count as a vote cast.
Liquidation or Dissolution
In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive proportionately all assets available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences, and privileges of holders of Common Stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Dividends
The dividend rights, if any, of such class or series, the dividend preferences, if any, as between such class or series and any other class or series of stock, whether and the extent to which shares of such class or series shall be entitled to participate in dividends with shares of any other class or series of stock, whether and the extent to which dividends on such class or series shall be cumulative, and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on the payment of such dividends is determined by our Board.
Preemptive Rights
The holders of our Common Stock generally do not have preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any of our capital stock or other Common Stock.
Redemption
The terms and conditions, if any, of any purchase, retirement, or sinking fund which may be provided for the shares of such class or series is subject to the authorization of the Board.
Preferred Stock
Our Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, redemption, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. In addition, the Preferred Stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of us. Although no shares of Preferred Stock are currently issued and outstanding, and we do not currently intend to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
Our transfer agent for our Common Stock is VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY, 11598, (212) 828-8436.
Options
On October 10, 2022, the Company’s shareholders and Board approved the Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”). To date, 144,210 stock options have been granted under the Plan.
Warrants
We currently have three classes of warrants outstanding: Tradeable Warrants, Non-tradeable Warrants and Representative Warrants. The Tradeable Warrant and the Non-tradeable Warrant have identical terms except that (i) unlike the Non-tradeable Warrant, the Tradeable Warrant is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KDLYW”, and (ii) the exercise price per share of Common Stock is $6.33 per share for the Tradeable Warrant and $6.33 per whole share for the Non-tradeable Warrant.
Duration. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our Common Stock and the exercise price.
Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will round down to the next whole share.
Cashless Exercise. If, at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a Warrant in book entry form may be transferred at the option of the holder through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and Warrants in physical form may be transferred upon surrender of the Warrant to the Warrant Agent together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Right as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our Common Stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Warrants.
Representative Warrants
The Representative Warrants are exercisable for a five-year period commencing on the date of commencement of sales pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part at an exercise price of $6.33 per share.
Listing
Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “KDLY.”
Certain Provisions Potentially Having an Anti-Takeover Effect
Several provisions of our Articles and Bylaws, may have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, lessen our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us.
Control Shares Acquisition Act
The Corporation elects to opt out of the provisions of the Control Share Acquisitions Act, UTAH CODE ANN. § 61-6-1, et seq., as they may apply to the Corporation or any transaction involving the Corporation. The provisions of the Control Share Acquisitions Act, UTAH CODE ANN. § 61-6-1, et seq., shall not be applicable to control share acquisition of the securities of the Corporation. This election is made in accordance with the provisions of Utah Code Ann. Section 61-6-1 et seq.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as of the date of this Registration Statement, each person who is or was a director, officer or employee of registrant shall be indemnified by the registrant to the full extent permitted or authorized by Title 16, Chapter 10a, Part 9 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (“URBCA”), provided that no such indemnification shall be made if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled, and provided further that no such indemnification shall be required with respect to any settlement or other non-adjudicated disposition of any threatened or pending action or proceeding unless the Company has given its prior consent to such settlement or other disposition.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Articles and Bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
