Effective November 7, 2023, the Company closed on three Subscription Agreements for the sale of a combined 300,789 shares of its newly designated Series G Preferred Stock to parties associated with Gene Salkind (Preferred Shareholders), for total proceeds of $1,200,000 plus conversion of principal and accrued interest from the October 2023 Loan of $303,495, resulting in an increase in shareholders’ equity of $1,503,495. Each share of the Series G Preferred Stock is convertible by the Preferred Shareholders at any time after issuance into ten (10) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or $0.50 per Common Share (Conversion Ratio). The Series G Preferred Stock will automatically convert at the same Conversion Ratio upon the Company’s Common Stock reporting of a closing sales price over $5.00 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days. The Company will pay annualized dividends equal to twenty percent (20%) of the subscription price of the Series G Preferred Stock, payable monthly commencing January 2, 2024, in either cash or shares of Common Stock, at the option of the Preferred Shareholders. Should the cash option be elected, the Company may determine that such dividend shall be paid through the issuance of a one-year fifteen percent (15%) promissory note, secured by all assets of the Company.

 

Prior to November 7, 2023, the Company’s compensation committee approved a one year consulting agreement to issue 150,000 restricted shares of common stock to Gene Salkind, Chairman of the Board.

 

On December 18, 2023, the Company exchanged 300,789 shares of Series G Preferred Stock with an equity value of $1,503,495 for 751,973 shares of Series H Preferred Stock at an issue price of $2.00 per share. Each share of the Series H Preferred Stock is convertible by the Preferred Shareholders at any time after issuance into ten (10) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or $0.20 per Common Share (Conversion Ratio). The Series H Preferred Stock will automatically convert at the same Conversion Ratio upon the Company’s Common Stock reporting of a closing sales price over $2.00 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days or December 31, 2026, whichever is earlier. The Company will pay monthly dividends equal to one percent (1%) of the issue price of the Series H Preferred Stock, payable monthly commencing January 2, 2024, in either cash or shares of Common Stock, at the option of the Preferred Shareholders. Should the cash option be elected, the Company may determine that such dividend shall be paid through the issuance of a one-year fifteen percent (15%) promissory note, secured by all assets of the Company. On December 19, 2023, Mr. Salkind received options to purchase 100,000 common shares at an exercise price of $.20 per share over a term of 5 years.
