Preferred Stock

 

Series A Preferred stock

 

On October 16, 2019, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to designate a series of preferred stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado.

 

The Certificate of Designations established 800,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.10, having such designations, preferences, and rights as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Certificate of Designations, Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Certificate of Designations") provides that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote on any matters on which the common shareholders are permitted to vote. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation to the Company's common stock and junior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company and existing and outstanding preferred stock of the Company. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $1.00 (the "Stated Value").

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will carry an annual dividend in the amount of 4% of the Stated Value (the "Dividend Rate"), which shall be cumulative and compounded daily, payable solely upon redemption, liquidation or conversion. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Dividend Rate shall automatically increase to 22%.

   

At any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the "Redemption Periods") provided that an Event of Default has not occurred, the Company will have the right, at the Company's option, to redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an amount equal to (i) the total number of Series A Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder multiplied by (ii) the Stated Value plus the Adjustment Amount, (the "Optional Redemption Amount"). The Adjustment Amount shall equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends, the default adjustment amounts, as defined in the Certificate of Designation, if applicable, failure to deliver fees, if any, and any other fees as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. After the expiration of 180 days following the Issuance Date of the applicable shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall have no right of redemption.

 

Redemption Period   Redemption
Percentage
 
1. The period beginning on the date of the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and ending on the date which is sixty days following the Issuance Date.     100 %
2. The period beginning on the date that is sixty-one days from the Issuance Date and ending ninety days following the Issuance Date.     107 %
3. The period beginning on the date that is ninety-one days from the Issuance Date and ending one hundred twenty days following the Issuance Date.     112 %
4. The period beginning on the date that is one hundred twenty-one days from the Issuance Date and ending one hundred fifty days following the Issuance Date.     117 %
5. The period beginning on the date that is one hundred fifty-one days from the Issuance Date and ending one hundred eighty days following the Issuance Date.     120 %

   

On the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is eighteen months following the Issuance Date and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (the "Mandatory Redemption Date"), the Company shall redeem all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Holders (which have not been previously redeemed or converted). Within five days of the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall make payment to each Holder of an amount in cash equal to (i) the total number of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder multiplied by (ii) the Stated Value plus the Adjustment Amount.

 

The Holder of Series A Preferred stock shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is 180 days following the issuance date, to convert all or any part of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into the Company's common stock. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined below) (subject to equitable adjustments by the Company relating to the Company's securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 81% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined below) (representing a discount rate of 19%). "Market Price" means the average of the two lowest Trading Prices for the common stock during the ten Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. "Trading Price" means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the applicable trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service designated by the Holder. "Trading Day" shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the common stock is then being traded. The Company has accounted for the Series A Preferred Stock as stock settled debt under ASC 480. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an aggregate debt premium of $30,449 with a charge to interest expense.

 

During October and November 2019, the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 159,600 unregistered shares of the Company's Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.10 for $133,000, or $0.833 per share. During October and November 2019, the Company received the cash proceeds of $127,000, net of fees of $6,000. This discount of $6,000 was recognized and is being amortized to interest expense over the redemption terms of the Series A preferred shares or the date that the debt is convertible into common shares, whichever is shorter. During January and March 2020, the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 103,200 unregistered shares of the Company's Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.10 for $86,000, or $0.833 per share. During January and March 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $80,000, net of fees of $6,000. This discount of $6,000 was recognized and is being amortized to interest expense over the redemption terms of the Series A preferred shares or the date that the debt is convertible into common shares, whichever is shorter.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, amortization of discount charged to interest expense amounted to $5,583. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company accrued a dividend payable of $2,219 which was included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. At March 31, 2020, the Company has accrued $3,153 of dividends on these liabilities which is included in mandatorily redeemable convertible Series A preferred stock liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company has classified the Series A Preferred Stock as a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 480, " Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity," which states that mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities and therefore the related dividend payments are treated as a component of interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The mandatorily redeemable Series A preferred stock is recorded at the liquidation preference, less unamortized discounts plus the debt premium and accrued dividends due, on the Company's accompanying consolidated statements of operations as of December 31, 2019 which in total exceeds the redemption value. As of March 31, 2020, the net Series A Preferred Stock balance was $306,016 which includes stated liquidation value of $262,800, an aggregate put premium of $61,646 and accrued dividends payable of $3,153, and is net of an unaccreted debt discount of $15,833 and unamortized debt offering costs of $5,750. The Company recognized interest expense on the Series A Preferred Stock of $66,218 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which includes accretion expense, put premium on stock-settled debt, accrued dividends, and the amortization of debt offering costs.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

On December 12, 2019, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to designate a series of preferred stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B"), with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado. The Certificate of Designations established 100,000 shares of the Series B, par value $0.10, having such designations, preferences, and rights as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Certificate of Designations became effective with the State of Colorado upon filing.

 

The Series B ranks senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the Company's common stock and junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company. The Series B has a stated value per share of $1,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designations (the "Stated Value"), and a dividend rate of 2% per annum of the Stated Value.

 

The Series B is subject to redemption (at Stated Value, plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends (the "Liquidation Value")) by the Company no later than three years after a Deemed Liquidation Event and at the Company's option after one year from the issuance date of the Series B, subject to a ten-day notice (to allow holder conversion). A "Deemed Liquidation Event" will mean: (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Company or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation or, if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Company if substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

  

The Series B is convertible at the option of a holder or if the closing price of the common stock exceeds 400% of the Conversion Price for a period of twenty consecutive trading days, at the option of the Company. Conversion Price means a price per share of the common stock equal to 100% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the two years preceding or subsequent two years following the Issuance Date, subject to adjustment as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations (the "Conversion Price").

 

In the event of a conversion of any Series B, the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of common stock equal to the Liquidation Value multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted divided by the Conversion Price.

 

Upon liquidation of the Company after payment or provision for payment of liabilities of the Company and after payment or provision for any liquidation preference payable to the holders of any preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B but prior to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock or preferred stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the Series B, the holders of Series B will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series B equal to the Liquidation Value.

 

The Series B has voting rights per Series B Share equal to the Liquidation Value per share, divided by the Conversion Price, multiplied by fifty (50). Subject to applicable Colorado law, the holders of Series B will have functional voting control in situations requiring shareholder vote.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock will vest on May 1, 2021, subject to acceleration in the event of conversion or redemption.

 

On December 12, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to satisfy $108,000 of accrued compensation owed to its directors and executive officers (collectively, the "Management") through a Liability Reduction Plan (the "Plan"). Under this Plan, Management agreed to accept 108 shares of the Company's Series B convertible preferred stock in settlement of accrued compensation.

 

These Series B preferred share issuances with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the consolidated balance sheet was appropriate. As per the terms of the Series B preferred stock agreements, Series B preferred stock is redeemable for cash and other assets on the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event. A deemed liquidation event includes a change of control which is not in the Company's control. As such, since Series B preferred stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not within the Company's control, the Series B preferred stock is classified as temporary equity.

 

The Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock represented an equity host and, therefore, the redemption feature of the Series B Preferred Stock was not considered to be clearly and closely related to the associated equity host instrument. However, the redemption features did not meet the net settlement criteria of a derivative and, therefore, were not considered embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. The Company also concluded that the conversion rights under the Series B Preferred Stock were clearly and closely related to the equity host instrument. Accordingly, the conversion rights feature on the Series B Preferred Stock were not considered an embedded derivative that required bifurcation.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company accrued a dividend payable of $657 which was included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2020, the net Series B Preferred Stock balance was $108,657 which includes stated liquidation value of $108,000 and accrued dividends payable of $657.

 

Sale of common stock

 

In connection with subscription agreements dated January 13, 2020 and February 18, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $280,000 from an investor for the purchase of 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.04 per share.

 

Issuance of common shares for services

 

On February 20, 2020 and effective March 1, 2020, the Company entered into a six-month consulting agreement with an entity for investor relations services. In connection with this consulting agreement, the Company issued 1,250,000 restricted common shares of the Company to the consultant. These shares vest immediately. These shares were valued at $50,000, or $0.04 per common share, based on contemporaneous common share sales by the Company. In connection with this consulting agreement, as of March 31, 2020, the Company recorded stock-based professional fees of $8,334 and prepaid expenses of $41,666 which will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.

2018 Long-term Incentive Plan

 

On June 7, 2018, a majority of the Company's shareholders and its board approved the adoption of a 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"). The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company, its affiliates and its stockholders and promote the long-term growth of the Company by providing employees, non-employee directors and third-party service providers with incentives to maximize stockholder value and to otherwise contribute to the success of the Company and its affiliates, thereby aligning the interests of such individuals with the interests of the Company's stockholders and providing them additional incentives to continue in their employment or affiliation with the Company. The Plan was adopted on June 7, 2018 and effective on August 2, 2018. Under the 2018 Plan, the Plan Administrator may grant:

 

  options to acquire the Company's common stock, both incentive stock options that are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and nonqualified stock options which are not intended to satisfy such requirements. The exercise price of options granted under our 2018 Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and the term of an option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to an incentive stock option granted to any employee who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company's outstanding stock as of the grant date the term must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

 

  stock appreciation rights, or SARs, which allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of the Company's common stock between the date of grant and the exercise date. The amount payable under the stock appreciation right may be paid in cash or with shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator.

 

  restricted stock awards, which are awards of the Company's shares of common stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Administrator.

 

  restricted stock units, which are awards that are based on the value of the Company's common stock and may be paid in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock.

 

  other types of stock-based or stock-related awards not otherwise described by the terms and provision of the 2018 Plan, including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock, and which may involve the transfer of actual shares of the Company's common stock or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of the Company's common stock and may be designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States.

 

  other cash-based awards to eligible persons in such amounts and upon such terms as the Administrator shall determine.

 

An award granted under the 2018 Plan must include a minimum vesting period of at least one year, provided, however, that an award may provide that the award will vest before the completion of such one-year period upon the death or qualifying disability of the grantee of the award or a change of control of the Company and awards covering, in the aggregate, 25,000,000 shares of our Common Stock may be issued without any minimum vesting period.

 

The aggregate number of shares of common stock and number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be subject to incentive stock options granted under the 2018 Plan is 50,000,000 shares, of which 11,445,698 shares have been issued or granted under incentive stock options and 15,250,000 shares of restricted stock have been issued as of March 31, 2020. All shares underlying grants are expected to be issued from the Company's unissued authorized shares available.
