NOTE 10. EQUITY

 

Preferred stock

 

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum. The Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock when the Company’s common stock market price equals or exceeds $0.28 per share for 30 consecutive days. At conversion, the value of each dollar of preferred stock (based on a $10 per share price) will convert into 7.1429 common shares (which results in a $0.14 per common share conversion rate).

 

In accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, cumulative dividends of $179,190 and $179,190 were accrued for the year ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock do not accrue dividends and have no conversion rights. For so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, have the right to vote on all shareholder matters (including, but not limited to at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company and upon any action taken by stockholders of the Company with or without a meeting) equal to sixty percent (60%) of the total vote. No shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by any person who is not then a member of Board of Directors of the Company shall have any voting rights. For more information, see Form 8-K reference in the Exhibits section.

 

The holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum. If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding as of December 31, 2023, the dividend rate will increase to 11% per annum. The Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock upon any registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. At conversion, the value of each dollar of Series C Preferred Stock (based on a $10 per share price) will convert into 100 common shares (which results in a $0.01 per common share conversion rate).

 

In accordance with the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, cumulative dividends of $8,696 and $779 were accrued for the year ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
