ATTACHMENT A
TO CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF
AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
Section 1.
Designation and Amount
. The shares of such series shall be designated as
Series J 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series J Preferred Stock) and each
share of the Series J Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $2.00 per share and a preference on
liquidation as specified in Section 6 below. The number of shares constituting the Series J
Preferred Stock shall be 100,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by the Board
of Directors by filing a certificate of designation as provided in the Nevada Revised Statutes (the
NRS);
provided
, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to
a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants.
Section 2.
Dividends and Distributions
.
(a) The holders of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive,
when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors and to the extent permitted under the
Nevada Revised Statutes, out of funds legally available for the purpose and in preference
to and with priority over dividends upon all Junior Securities (as defined in Section 5),
quarterly cumulative dividends payable in arrears in cash on the fifteenth day following
the end of each calendar quarter, unless such day is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, in
which case such dividends shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day (each such
date being referred to herein as a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date), commencing on the
first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a
share of Series J Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the next highest
cent) equal to 8% per annum of the Liquidation Value (as defined in Section 6) as
determined immediately prior to the beginning of such calendar quarter assuming each year
consists of 360 days and each quarter consists of 90 days. The term Adjusted Liquidation
Value is defined in Section 3.
(b) Dividends shall commence accruing cumulatively on outstanding shares of the Series
J Preferred Stock from the date of issuance of such shares to and including the date on
which the Redemption Price (as defined in Section 9(A) below) of such shares is paid,
whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are profits,
surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such
dividends. For purposes of this Section 2, the date on which the Corporation has first
issued any shares of Series J Preferred Stock is its date of issuance, regardless of the
number of times a transfer of such share is made on the stock records maintained by or for
the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates that may be issued to evidence
such shares (whether by reason of transfer of such shares or for any other reason).
Dividends paid on the shares of Series J Preferred Stock in an amount less than
the total amount of dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be
allocated among the holders of such
Page 1
shares in proportion to their respective Unpaid Accrual Amounts, where for this purpose
the Unpaid Accrual Amount of a holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock at any time
equals the total of accrued unpaid dividends on all such shares held by such holder. No
interest shall be required to be paid on any Unpaid Accrual Amounts. The Board of
Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series J
Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon
other than a quarterly dividend paid on the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date immediately
after such dividend accrued; which record date shall be not more than 50 days prior to the
date fixed for the payment thereof.
(c) So long as any shares of the Series J Preferred Stock are outstanding, the
Corporation will not make, directly or indirectly, any distribution (as such term is
defined in the Nevada Revised Statutes) in respect of Junior Securities unless, on the
date specified for measuring such distribution, (i) all accrued dividends on the Series J
Preferred Stock for all past quarterly dividend periods have been paid in full and the
full amount of accrued dividends for the then current quarterly dividend period has been
paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart and (ii) after
giving effect to such distribution (A) the Corporation would not be rendered unable to pay
its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and (B) the Corporations
total assets would not be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that
would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution,
to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the holders of the Series J
Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designation. Dividends shall not be
paid (in full or in part) or declared and set apart for payment (in full or in part) on
any series of Preferred Stock (including the Series J Preferred Stock) for any dividend
period unless all dividends, in the case dividends are being paid in full on the Series J
Preferred Stock, or a ratable portion of all dividends (
i.e.
, so that the amount paid on
each share of series of Preferred Stock as a percentage of total accrued and unpaid
dividends for all periods with respect to each such share is equal), in the case dividends
are not being paid in full on the Series J Preferred Stock, have been or are,
contemporaneously, paid and declared and set apart for payment on all outstanding series
of Preferred Stock (including the Series J Preferred Stock) entitled thereto for each
dividend period terminating on the same or earlier date. If at any time the Corporation
pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series J
Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed ratably among the then holders of Series
J Preferred Stock so that an equal amount is paid with respect to each outstanding share.
Section 3.
Conversion Rights
.
(a) The Series J Preferred Stock may be converted at any time and
from time to time in whole or in part commencing April 1, 2016, at the option of the
holders thereof, in accordance with subsection (d) below at the Conversion Price (as
defined in subsection (b) below) into fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock of the
Corporation by dividing (i) the Adjusted Liquidation Value for such shares of
Page 2
Series J Preferred Stock as of the date of conversion by (ii) the Conversion Price;
provided
,
however
, that (1) as to any shares of Series J Preferred Stock which shall have
been called for redemption pursuant to Section 9, the right of conversion shall terminate
upon receipt by the holder of the notice of redemption from the Corporation and (2) on the
earlier of (A) the commencement of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation by the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada or with a
federal bankruptcy court or (B) the adoption by the stockholders of the Corporation of any
resolution authorizing the commencement thereof, the right of conversion shall terminate.
The term Adjusted Liquidation Value shall mean Liquidation Value (as defined in Section
6) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends through the applicable date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein provided, the Corporation may elect to redeem the shares
of Series J Preferred Stock sought to be converted, pursuant to Section 9 hereunder,
instead of issuing shares of Common Stock in replacement thereof in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3(d) below.
(b) For purposes of this Section 3, the term Conversion Price shall be and mean the
amount obtained (rounded upward to the next highest cent) by multiplying (i) 0.9 by (ii)
the simple average of the daily closing price of the Common Stock for the twenty (20)
Business Days ending on the last Business Day of the calendar week immediately preceding
the date of conversion on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of Common Stock
are not then being traded on the New York Stock Exchange, then on the Principal Stock
Exchange on which such Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading as determined by
the Corporation (the Principal Stock Exchange) or, if the Common Stock is not then
listed or admitted to trading on a Principal Stock Exchange, the average of the last
reported closing bid and asked prices on such days in over-the-counter market or, if no
such prices are available, the fair market value per share of Common Stock, as determined
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in its sole discretion. The Conversion Price
shall not be subject to any adjustment as a result of the issuance of any additional
shares of Common Stock by the Corporation for any purpose, except for stock splits
(whether accomplished by stock dividends or otherwise) or reverse stock splits occurring
during the twenty (20) Business Days referenced in the calculation of the Conversion
Price. For purposes of calculating the Conversion Price, the term Business Day shall
mean a day on which the exchange looked to for purposes of determining the Conversion
Price is open for business or, if no such exchange, the term Business Day shall have the
meaning given such term in Section 3(d) below.
(c) Upon any conversion, fractional shares of Common Stock shall not be issued but
any fractions shall be adjusted by the delivery of one additional
share of Common Stock in lieu of any cash. Any accrued but unpaid dividends shall be
convertible into shares of Common Stock as provided for in this Section. The Corporation
shall pay all issue taxes, if any, incurred in respect to the issuance of Common Stock on
conversion,
provided
,
however
,
that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any
transfer or other taxes incurred by reason of the issuance of such Common Stock in names
other than those in which the Series J Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion may
stand.
Page 3
(d) Any conversion of Series J Preferred Stock into Common Stock shall be made by the
surrender to the Corporation, at the office of the Corporation set forth in Section 12
hereof or at the office of the transfer agent for such shares, of the certificate or
certificates representing the Series J Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed or
assigned (unless such endorsement or assignment is waived by the Corporation), together
with a written request for conversion. The Corporation shall either (i) issue as of the
date of receipt by the Corporation of such surrender shares of Common Stock calculated as
provided above and evidenced by a stock certificate delivered to the holder as soon as
practicable after the date of such surrender, or (ii) within twenty (20) Business Days
(unless otherwise provided, Business Day herein shall mean any day other than a
Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in Dallas, Texas are authorized
or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed) after the date of such surrender
advise the holder of Series J Preferred Stock that the Corporation is exercising its
option to redeem the Series J Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 9, in which case the
Corporation shall have sixty (60) days from the date of such surrender to pay to the
holder cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Price for each share of Series J
Preferred Stock so redeemed. The date of surrender of any Series J Preferred Stock shall
be the date of receipt by the Corporation or its agent of such surrendered shares of
Series J Preferred Stock.
(e) A number of authorized shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the
conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock outstanding upon the basis hereinbefore
provided shall at all times be reserved for such conversion. If the Corporation shall
propose to issue any securities or to make any change in its capital structure which would
change the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series J Preferred
Stock shall be convertible as herein provided, the Corporation shall at the same time also
make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock authorized and reserved for conversion of the outstanding Series J Preferred
Stock on the new basis.
(f) The term Common Stock shall mean stock of the class designated as Common Stock
of the Corporation on the date the Series J Preferred Stock is created or stock of ay
class or classes resulting from any reclassification or reclassification thereof, the
right of which to share in distributions of both earnings and assets is without limitation
in the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation as to any fixed
amount or percentage and which are not subject to redemption;
provided
, that if at any
time there shall be more
than one such resulting class, the shares of each such class then issuable on
conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock shall be substantially in the proportion which
the total number of shares of stock on each such class resulting from all such
reclassifications bears to the total number of shares of stock of all such classes
resulting from all such reclassifications.
(g) In case the Corporation shall propose at any time before all shares of the Series
J Preferred Stock have been redeemed by or converted into Common Stock of the Corporation:
Page 4
(i) to pay any dividend on the Common Stock outstanding payable in
Common Stock or make any other distribution, rather than cash dividends to
the holders of the Common Stock outstanding; or
(ii) to offer for subscription to the holders of the Common Stock
outstanding any additional shares of any class or any other rights or
option; or
(iii) to effect any re-classification or recapitalization of the
Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock, other
than a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock outstanding; or
(iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation
(unless the Corporation is the surviving entity and holders of Common
Stock continue to hold such Common Stock without modification and without
receipt of any additional consideration), or to sell, lease, or convey all
or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve
or wind up;
then, in each such case, the Corporation shall mail to the holders of record of each of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock at their last known addresses as shown by the
Corporations records a statement, signed by an officer of the Corporation, with respect to
the proposed action, such statement to be so mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the
date of the taking of such action or the record date for holders of the Common Stock for
the purposes thereof, whichever is earlier. If such statement relates to any proposed
action referred to in clauses (iii) or (iv) of this subsection (g), it shall set forth such
facts with respect thereto as shall reasonably be necessary to inform the holders of Series
J Preferred Stock as to the effect of such action upon the conversion rights of such
holders.
Section 4.
Voting Rights and Powers
. The holders of Series J Preferred Stock shall have only
the following voting rights:
(a) Except as may otherwise be specifically required by law under Section 78.350 of
the Nevada Revised Statutes or otherwise provided herein, the holders of the shares of
Series J Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote
such stock, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the stockholders of the
Corporation, and such shares of stock shall not be counted in determining the total number
of outstanding shares to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders.
(b) In the event that, under the circumstances, the holders of the Series J Preferred
Stock are required by law to vote upon any matter, the approval of such series shall be
deemed to have been obtained only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the shares of the Series J Preferred Stock then outstanding.
Page 5
(c) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by the Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, or by law, holders of the Series J Preferred Stock shall have no
voting rights and their consent shall not be required for the taking of any corporation
action.
Section 5.
Reacquired Shares
. Any shares of Series J Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever or surrendered for conversion hereunder shall
no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares of stock,
including the right, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease except, in the
case of stock surrendered for conversion hereunder, rights of the holders thereof to receive Common
Stock in exchange therefor. All shares of Series J Preferred Stock obtained by the Corporation
shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon
their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as
part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set
forth herein, in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or in any certificates of designations
creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.
Section 6.
Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up
. The Liquidation Value of the Series J
Preferred Stock shall be $1,000 per share. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, and after paying and providing for the payment of all creditors of the Corporation,
the holders of shares of the Series J Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled, before
any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities (defined to be and mean the Common
Stock and any other equity security of any kind which the Corporation at any time has issued,
issues or is authorized to issue if the Series J Preferred Stock has priority over such securities
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up), to receive a liquidation
preference in an amount in cash equal to the Adjusted Liquidation Value as of the date of such
payment, whether such liquidation is voluntary or involuntary, and the holders of the Series J
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any other or further distributions of the assets. If, upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the net assets
available for distribution shall be insufficient to permit payment to the holders of all
outstanding shares of all series of Preferred Stock of the amount to which they respectively shall
be entitled, then the assets of the Corporation to be distributed to such holders will be
distributed ratably among them based upon the amounts payable on the shares of each such series of Preferred Stock in the event of voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to the full preferential
amounts, together with any and all arrearages to which they are respectively entitled. Upon any
such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the holders of preferred
Stock have been paid in full the amounts to which they are entitled, the remaining assets of the
Corporation may be distributed to holders of Junior Securities, including Common Stock, of the
Corporation. The Corporation will mail written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, not less than twenty (20) nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the payment date stated
therein to each record holder of Series J Preferred Stock. Neither the consolidation nor merger of
the Corporation into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the
Corporation of less than all or substantially all of its assets, nor a reduction in the capital
stock of the Corporation, nor the purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any shares of its
Preferred Stock or Common Stock or any other class of its stock will be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 6.
Page 6
Section 7.
Ranking
. Except as provided in the following sentence, the Series J Preferred Stock
shall rank on a parity as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up with all
other shares of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation. The Corporation shall not issue any
shares of Preferred Stock of any series which are superior to the Series J Preferred Stock as to
dividends or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation as long as any
shares of the Series J Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, without the prior written
consent of the holders of at least a majority of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock then
outstanding voting separately as a class.
Section 8.
Redemption at the Option of the Holder
. The shares of Series J Preferred Stock
shall not be redeemable at the option of a holder of Series J Preferred Stock.
Section 9.
Redemption at the Option of the Corporation
.
(a) In addition to the redemption right of the Corporation set forth in Section 3(a),
above, the Corporation shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of the Series J
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at any time after March 31, 2011, and from time to
time, at its option, for cash. The redemption price of the Series J Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 9 shall be an amount per share equal to the Adjusted Liquidation
Value as of the Redemption Date (the Redemption Price).
(b) The Corporation may redeem all or a portion of any holders shares of Series J
Preferred Stock by giving such holder not less than twenty (20) days nor more than thirty
(30) days notice thereof prior to the date on which the Corporation desires such shares to
be redeemed, which date shall be a Business Day (the Redemption Date). Such notice shall
be written and shall be hand delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the holder (the
Redemption Notice). If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United
States Mail, postage prepared, addressed to the holder of shares of Series J Preferred
Stock at his address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. The
right of the Corporation to redeem shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall remain
effective notwithstanding prior receipt by the Corporation of notice by any holder of
Series J Preferred Stock of such holders intent to convert shares of Series J Preferred
Stock in accordance with Section 3 above,
provided
that the Redemption Notice is given on
or prior to the second Business Day following the date of surrender of shares made to
convert said shares to Common Stock. The Redemption Notice shall state (i) the total number
of shares of Series J Preferred Stock held by such holder; (ii) the total number of shares
of the holders Series J Preferred Stock that the Corporation intends to redeem; (iii) the
Redemption Date and the Redemption Price; and (iv) the place at which the holder(s) may
obtain payment of the applicable Redemption Price upon surrender of the share
certificate(s).
(c) If fewer than all shares of the Series J Preferred Stock at any time outstanding
shall be called for redemption, such shares shall be redeemed pro rata, by lot drawn or
other manner deemed fair in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors to redeem one or
more such shares without redeeming all such shares of
Page 7
Series J Preferred Stock. If a Redemption Notice shall have been so mailed, at least two
Business Days prior to the Redemption Date the Corporation shall provide for payment of a
sum sufficient to redeem the applicable number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock
subject to redemption either by (i) setting aside the sum required to be paid as the
Redemption Price by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for
the account of the holder(s) of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed or
(ii) depositing such sum in a bank or trust company (either located in the state where the
principal executive office of the Corporation is maintained, such bank or trust company
having a combined surplus of at least $20,000,000 according to its latest statement of
condition, or such other bank or trust company as may be permitted by the Articles of
Incorporation, or by law) as a trust fund, with irrevocable instructions and authority to
the bank or trust company to give or complete the notice of redemption and to pay, on or
after the Redemption Date, the applicable Redemption Price on surrender of certificates
evidencing the share(s) of Series J Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, in
either event, from and after the Redemption Date (v) the share(s) of Series J Preferred
Stock shall be deemed to be redeemed, (w) such setting aside or deposit shall be deemed to
constitute full payment for such share(s), (x) such share(s) so redeemed shall no longer
be deemed to be outstanding, (y) the holder(s) thereof shall cease to be a stockholder of
the Corporation with respect to such share(s), and (z) such holder(s) shall have no rights
with respect thereto except the right to receive the Redemption Price for the applicable
shares. Any interest on the funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation. Any and
all such redemption deposits shall be irrevocable except to the following extent: any
funds so deposited which shall not be required for the redemption of any shares of Series
J Preferred Stock because of any prior sale or
purchase by the Corporation other than through the redemption process, subsequent to the
date of deposit but prior to the Redemption Date, shall be repaid to the Corporation
forthwith and any balance of the funds so deposited and unclaimed by the holder(s) of any
shares of Series J Preferred Stock entitled thereto at the expiration of one calendar year
from the Redemption Date shall be repaid to the Corporation upon its request or demand
therefor, and after any such repayment of the holder(s) of the share(s) so called for
redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the Redemption Price thereof.
All shares of Series J Preferred Stock redeemed shall be canceled and retired and no
shares shall be issued in place thereof, but shares shall be restored to the status of
authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.
(d) Holders whose shares of Series J Preferred Stock have been redeemed hereunder
shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares, duly endorsed or
assigned (unless such endorsement or assignment be waived by the Corporation), to the
Corporation by mail, courier or personal delivery at the Corporations principal executive
office or other location so designated in the Redemption Notice, and upon the Redemption
Date the Redemption Price shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears
on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate
shall be canceled and retired. In the event fewer than all of the shares represented by
such certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the
unredeemed shares.

Section 10.
Sinking Fund
. The Corporation shall not be required to maintain any so-called
sinking fund for the retirement on any basis of the Series J Preferred Stock.
Section 11.
Fractional Shares
The Series J Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a
share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holders fractional shares, to exercise
voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other
rights of holders of shares of Series J Preferred Stock.
Section 12.
Notice
. Any notice or request made to the Corporation in connection with the
Series J Preferred Stock shall be given, and shall conclusively be deemed to have been given and
received three Business Days following deposit thereof in writing, in the U.S. mail, certified
mail, return receipt requested, duly stamped and addressed to the Corporation, to the attention of
its General Counsel, at its principal executive offices (which shall be deemed to be the address
most recently provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as its principal executive
