Note 12. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized a total of shares of $ per share par value preferred stock. The Company has issued shares of preferred stock, designated as Series B. In August 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement, (i) shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value $ per share and stated value of $ per share initially convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $ per share at an initial conversion price of $6.90 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 223,824 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.56 per share of Common Stock. The investors have converted 290 of the 990 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for 42,028 shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2025. The holders of the Series B preferred stock have various rights as follows:
Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any voting rights.
Dividends. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.
Conversion. The Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.23 per share (the “Conversion Price”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock that results from dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are prohibited from converting shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. If and whenever on or after the date on which the Company obtains the Preferred Stockholder Approval, the Company is deemed to have issued or sold any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will be reduced to such new issuance price subject to a floor price of $0.10 per share.
