NOTE 9 - SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT
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"). Upon the redemption or conversion of all of the Series A Preferred stock, on August 25, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado to eliminate the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock carried an annual dividend in the amount of 4% of the Stated Value (the "Dividend Rate"), which was 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 had 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.
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 had 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an aggregate debt premium of $42,553 with a charge to interest expense. The Company did not record any debt premium during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
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 the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 154,800 unregistered shares of the Company's Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.10 for $129,000, or $0.833 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $120,000, net of fees of $9,000. This discount of $9,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, amortization of discount charged to interest expense amounted to $14,333. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company accrued a dividend payable of $4,852 which was included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had paid or converted into common stock all accrued dividends due.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 16,132,701 shares its common stock upon the conversion of 211,200 shares of Series A preferred with a stated redemption value of $211,200 and related accrued dividends payable of $4,224. The conversion price was based on contractual terms of the related Series A preferred shares. Upon conversion, the Company reclassified put premium of $49,543 to paid-in capital. Additionally, on August 24, 2020, the Company settled with the investor and redeemed the remaining 103,200 Series A preferred shares for a cash payment of $117,047 which included the redemption of stated value of $103,200, accrued dividends of $1,562, and redemption penalties of $12,285 which was included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, upon repayment, the Company wrote off the remaining put premium balance of $24,207 and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $24,207.
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 September 30, 2020, the net Series A Preferred Stock balance was $0 and fully redeemed. The Company recognized interest expense on the Series A Preferred Stock of $126,423 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which includes accretion expense, put premium on stock-settled debt, accrued dividends, amortization of offering costs and redemption penalties paid.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company accrued a dividend payable of $1,740 which was included in preferred stock dividends on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' deficit. As of September 30, 2020, the net Series B Preferred Stock balance was $109,740 which includes stated liquidation value of $108,000 and accrued dividends payable of $1,740.
Series C Preferred Stock
On August 20, 2020, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to designate a series of preferred stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C"), with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado. The Certificate of Designations established 100,000 shares of the Series C, 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 C 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 C has a stated value per share of $100, 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 Company has no option to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock. If the Company determines to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up its business and affairs, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event as defined below, each of which has been approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Company will redeem all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such mandatory redemption event at a price per share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the aggregate Series C Liquidation Value for the shares of Series C Preferred Stock being redeemed.
The Company will deliver ten-day advance written notice prior to the consummation of any mandatory redemption event via email or overnight courier ("Notice of Mandatory Redemption") to each Holder whose shares are to be redeemed. The Series C is subject to redemption at Stated Value, plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends (the "Liquidation Value")) by the Company. Upon receipt by any Holder of a Notice of Mandatory Redemption, if Holder does not choose to convert, such Holder will promptly submit to the Company such Holder's Series C Preferred Stock certificates on the Redemption Payment Date. Upon receipt of such Holder's Series C Preferred Stock certificates, the Company will pay the applicable redemption price to such Holder in cash. 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 C is convertible at the option of a holder at any time following the issuance date. In the event of a conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Conversion Shares equal to (x) the sum of (1) the Stated Value per share of Series C Preferred Stock plus (2) any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder and subject to the Holder Conversion Notice, divided by (z) the Conversion Price with respect to such Series C Preferred Stock. Conversion Price means a price per share of the common stock equal to the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock for any trading day during the two years preceding the date of delivery of the conversion notice, subject to adjustment as otherwise provided in the Series C Certificate of Designation.
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 C but prior to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock or preferred stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the Series C, the holders of Series C 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 C equal to the Liquidation Value.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters requiring shareholder vote. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to the number of votes per share based on the calculation of the number of conversion shares of Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible.
During August and September 2020, the Company entered into subscription agreements with an accredited investor whereby the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of purchase 6,300 shares of the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for $630,000, or $100.00 per share (the "Stated Value"), which were used to pay off various discounted convertible instruments and redeem Series A preferred stock.
These Series C preferred share issuances with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the holder, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was appropriate. As per the terms of the Series C preferred stock agreements, Series C 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 C preferred stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not within the Company's control, the Series C preferred stock is classified as temporary equity.
The Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock represented an equity host and, therefore, the redemption feature of the Series C 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 C Preferred Stock were clearly and closely related to the equity host instrument. Accordingly, the conversion rights feature on the Series C Preferred Stock were not considered an embedded derivative that required bifurcation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company accrued a dividend payable of $1,055 which was included in preferred stock dividends on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' deficit. As of September 30, 2020, the net Series C Preferred Stock balance was $631,055 which includes stated liquidation value of $630,000 and accrued dividends payable of $1,055.

In connection with these shares, the Company shall record stock-based compensation over the vesting period, which is included in the aggregate accretion of stock-based compensation reflected below.
On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a six-month consulting agreement with an entity for investor relations services.

Warrants
On March 30, 2020 and on April 23, 2020, in connection with Purchase Agreements with an accredited investor (See Note 6), the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate amount up to 288,750 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Warrants"). The Warrants were exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitled this investor to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the warrants become exercisable. Under the terms of the Warrants, the holder was entitled to exercise the Warrants to purchase up to 288,750 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.10, subject to adjustment as detailed in the Warrants. In connection with the issuance of the warrants, on the initial measurement date, the relative fair value of the warrants of $14,498 was recorded as a debt discount and an increase in paid-in capital (See Note 6). In September 2020, in connection with the repayment of the debt, these warrants were cancelled.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued common shares related to the sale of common stock and issued shares upon the conversion of convertible debt at prices lower than the warrant exercise price of $0.10 and accordingly, the warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the warrant exercise price was reduced to $0.003 per share. As a result of the trigger of down-round provisions, the Company calculated the difference between the warrants fair value on the date the down round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise price. If applicable, a deemed dividend shall be recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount. Since the fair value of the warrants using the new exercise price was less than the initial fair value amount, no deemed dividend was recorded. In connection with the repayment of the debt, the Company and investor agreed upon a fixed warrant exercise price of $0.01 per share.
Warrant activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are summarized as follows:
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:
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 23,700,000 shares of restricted stock have been issued as of September 30, 2020. All shares underlying grants are expected to be issued from the Company's unissued authorized shares available. |
