Company Overview

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

 

We are opening primary care clinics around the United States utilizing the experience, expertise, and training of licensed, advanced degreed registered nurse practitioners (“Nurse Practitioners”).  Our clinics provide complete primary care, basic behavioral healthcare, and basic dermatological services for consumers. The medical practice focuses on whole person health and prevention. We seek to create a jointly developed longitudinal care plan with each individual that focuses on the patient’s individual quality of life goals. We personalize care interactions based upon the individuals care style as identified by University of Oregon’s “Patient Activation Measure” a peer reviewed, validated tool also in use by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. We pursue health equity in our practices and are a member of the National Minority Health Association. Our practice accepts most major commercial insurances, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients. We support pricing transparency and maintain a published price list for self-pay patients.

 

In addition to the traditional fee-for-service medical care, we offer a variety of services focused on wellness for both individuals and self-funded employers.  Our wellness offerings include dermatological services, weight management, nutritional and diabetes coaching  as well as offering products such as educational books, vitamins, and essential oils.  Most of our wellness products and services are not covered by insurance and are paid for by the consumer at the time of service.  We offer our services both in the clinics as well as via telehealth and seek to facilitate same day and next day appointments for client convenience. Mitesco’s mission is to increase convenience and access to care, improve the quality of care, and reduce cost.

 

We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five (5) additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six (6) clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two (2) new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. These new locations are expected to open in the first quarter of 2022. We plan to open clinics in residential concentrations of population to enhance the convenience, especially timely due to the changes in community travel patterns resulting from the pandemic. Our clinicians use both telehealth (virtual) and in-person visits to treat and coach the clients along their journey to better health and quality of life. Our clinics are led by Nurse Practitioners that use their license, extensive training, expertise, and empathy to help people remain stable or improve their health. We emphasize wellness, beginning with a clients’ co-developed plan that identifies from where a person is starting and constructs a plan for how they can achieve their goals. The practice uses an integrated health approach that includes an assessment of both the individual’s behavioral and physical health and combines this with their activation level and their goals. The clinic offers wellness coaching, behavioral health care, episodic care, dermatologic services, and supplements. We seek to care for the whole person’s needs.

 

Like the first clinics opened, we will continue to seek to locate clinics convenient to residential centers. In pursuit of this approach, we intend to continue to expand our relationships with Lennar Corporation and other large-scale developers. While we have no formal relationship with these developers, other than as a tenant, we believe such relationships give us an advantage in recruiting and retaining clients in close proximity to our locations. We believe that our clinics will be viewed as an amenity for the high-rise development in which we are located. We plan to mirror this approach in residential developments in Denver, and in other markets as we expand. We may also seek to grow through the acquisition of existing clinic operations which would be converted into our operating approach.

 

 

The Company’s operations are subject to comprehensive federal, state, and local laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it does business. There also continues to be a heightened level of review and/or audit by federal and state regulators of the health and related benefits industry’s business and reporting practices.

 

The laws and rules governing the Company’s businesses and interpretations of those laws and rules continue to evolve each year and are subject to frequent change. The application of these complex legal and regulatory requirements to the detailed operation of the Company’s businesses creates areas of uncertainty. Further, there are numerous proposed health care, financial services and other laws and regulations at the federal and state level some of which could adversely affect the Company’s businesses if they are enacted. The Company cannot predict whether pending or future federal or state legislation will have an adverse effect on our business.

 

The Company can give no assurance that its businesses, financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected, or that the Company will not be required to materially change its business practices, based on: (i) future enactment of new health care or other laws or regulations; (ii) the interpretation or application of existing laws or regulations, including the laws and regulations described in this Government Regulation section, as they may relate to one or more of the Company’s businesses, one or more of the industries in which the Company competes and/or the health care industry generally; (iii) pending or future federal or state governmental investigations of the Company.

 

The Company had previously established a strategy to address opportunities in Europe generally seeking technology solutions, or financing situations, through a Dublin based subsidiary, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings Ltd. After a review of its near-term opportunities in North America, the Board of Directors has determined that any efforts in the European community should be discontinued to focus on the Company’s North American operations. In conjunction with this decision the Company for the period ending December 31, 2021 it will take a one-time charge of approximately $12,500 related to the discontinuation and wind down of its European entity.

 

Corporate Organizational Chart

Competition

 

The market for healthcare solutions including walk in clinics and telehealth services is competitive. We compete in a fragmented primary care market with direct and indirect competitors that offer varying levels of impact to key stakeholders such as insurance companies, patients, and employers. Our competitive success is contingent on our ability to simultaneously address the needs of key stakeholders efficiently and with superior outcomes at scale compared with competitors. We compete with walk-in clinics, traditional healthcare providers, and primary care medical practices, technology platforms, care management and coordination, digital health, telehealth, and telemedicine clinics. Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer and patient requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of our clients, members and partners and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our solutions and services may be reduced and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

 

Our business is dependent on completing our clinics and gaining patients and customers in our target markets. However, the healthcare market is competitive, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We face competition in the healthcare industry for our solutions and services from a range of companies and providers, including traditional healthcare providers and medical practices that offer similar services. These competitors primarily include primary care providers who are employed by or affiliated with health networks. Our indirect competitors also include episodic consumer-driven point solutions such as telemedicine as well as urgent care providers. Generally, urgent care providers in the local communities will provide services similar to those we intend to offer, and our competitors (1) are more established than we are, (2) may offer a broader array of services or more desirable facilities to patients and providers than ours, and (3) may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to admit and refer patients, among other things.

 

Our competitors may have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or patient requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary technologies or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger member or patient base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of the healthcare market, which would limit our member and patient growth. In light of these factors, even if our solution is more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential members, health network partners and enterprise clients may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing our solution. If we are unable to compete in the healthcare market, our business would be harmed.

 

In the future, we may encounter increased competition from system-affiliated hospitals and healthcare companies, as well as health insurers and private equity companies seeking to acquire providers in specific geographic markets. We also may face competition from primary care providers, and outpatient centers for market share and for providers and personnel. Furthermore, some of the clinics and medical offices that compete with us may be government agencies or not-for-profit organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and can finance capital expenditures and operations on a tax-exempt basis. Competitors may also be better positioned to contract with leading health network partners in our target markets, including existing markets after our current contracts expire. If our competitors are better able to attract patients, contract with health network partners, recruit providers, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities than we are, we may experience an overall decline in member volumes and net revenue. We cannot assure we will be able to compete in the markets in which we operate which could cause you to lose your investment.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe the following strengths and market dynamics provide us a competitive advantage in realizing our target of opening fifty (50) new clinics in the next three years:

 

 

Experienced management team - with a proven track record of growing healthcare services companies, including companies operating in our current space.

 

Deeply experienced Board of Directors - that have been recruited for their specific expertise in business strategy, operations, healthcare, business development, accounting, public company management, information systems and technology, investment banking, merger & acquisitions, regulatory affairs, state, federal, and international law, political process & lobbying, and investment fund management and securities research.

 

Cost Advantage - we believe we will have approximately a twenty five percent (25%) cost advantage over the traditional primary care service provider by employing Nurse Practitioners  as the primary healthcare professional as compared to a physician employed primary care model based on a comparison of national average salaries and reimbursement rates.

 

Diversified product line including

 

o

Insurance paid (Commercial, Medicare and Medicaid) and cash paid primary care and behavioral services

 

o

Urgent care

 

o

Preventative care

 

o

Wellness care

 

o

Nutrition coaching

 

o

Population health services management

 

o

Telehealth care

 

o

Department of Transportation annual exams and First Responder Exams

  o In-clinic product sales of books, vitamins, supplements, and essential oils
 

Large healthcare market opportunity

 

o

U.S.’s total spends on healthcare equals 17.7% of GDP at about $3.8 Trillion according to the American Medical Association.  Assuming that consumers want to lower their health care costs, we believe we can provide  lower health care costs to consumers by utilizing primary care and Nurse Practitioners versus specialists.

 

o

The U.S. primary care market size was valued at USD 283.0 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% from 2020 to 2027 according to a report by Online PR News dated April 29, 2021]. We believe access to primary care providers can curb the growing rate of hospitalization, usage of prescription drugs, and prevalence of chronic diseases. Primary care is the center of the U.S. healthcare system, reforms in the healthcare coverage will reenergize the infrastructure and aid the rebuilding of the primary care payment and delivery model.

 

o

U.S. skin care market is large and growing. According to an October 2021 report by Statista, the U.S. skin care market is estimated at $17.5 billion.

 

o

The global dietary supplements market is estimated $151 billion in 2021,  according to a report from Grand View Research.

 

Shortage of primary care providers - We believe there is a primary care provider shortage in America. The Association of American Medical Colleges in a July 10, 2020 report, states that there is a 21,400 to as much as 55,000 shortfall of primary care providers by 2033. The Good Clinic is just one of a few organizations providing net new capacity to serve the people impacted by the shortage.

 

 

Listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB Market. In connection with this offering, we have applied to list our Common Stock offered in the offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “MITI.” If our application to the Nasdaq is not approved or we otherwise determine that we will not be able to secure the listing of our Common Stock on Nasdaq we will not complete this offering and we will then revise our approach and continue to seek financing for our expansion and operating needs in the debt and equity markets.

 

If our application is approved, we expect to list our Common Stock offered in the offering on Nasdaq upon consummation of the offering, at which point our Common Stock will cease to be traded on the OTCQB Market. No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved. Nasdaq listing requirements include, among other things, a stock price threshold. As a result, prior to effectiveness, we will need to take the necessary steps to meet Nasdaq listing requirements, including but not limited to a reverse split of our outstanding Common Stock.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

Our stockholders of record as of December 15, 2021 approved a reverse stock split within the range of 1:2 to 1:50 of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and authorized the Board, in its discretion, at any time during the next year, to determine a) if a reverse split would be beneficial, and b) if desirable to then determine the final ratio, effective date, and date of filing of the certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, in connection with the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will not impact the number of authorized shares of Common Stock that will remain at 500,000,000 shares. Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this prospectus reflects, other than in our financial statements and the notes thereto, a proposed reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock and treasury stock of the Company at an assumed [ ] ratio to occur immediately following the effective date but prior to the closing of the offering.

 

Bridge Financing

 

On November 19, 2021, the Company closed a bridge financing round totaling $3.1 million of a series D preferred stock sold to investors in a private placement. Each series D Unit will have a purchase price of $1.00 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of (a) one share of a newly formed Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), (b) one warrant (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase 2.1 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per whole share of Common Stock, and (c) one warrant (the “Series B Warrants” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase 2.1 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per whole share.

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, Inc., filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 18, 2021 (the “COD”), there are 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock that have been designated as the Series D Preferred Stock and each share of the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof, or automatically upon the request of the Company’s underwriters that the Series D Preferred Stock convert to shares of Common Stock or upon listing of the Company’s Common Stock on a national securities exchange. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing the Conversion Amount (defined in the COD as the Stated Value, $1.05 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends) by the $0.25 conversion price (the “Conversion Price”). 

 

As of the date of this filing the Company has closed on $3,100,000 of its Series D Preferred stock. To achieve our growth strategy, it is anticipated the Company will need to raise additional financing prior to up listing on Nasdaq. We will not proceed with this offering in the event our Common Stock is not approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market though we will continue to seek financing for our expansion and operating needs in the debt or equity markets.

 

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a 10% Promissory Note due June 30, 2022 (the “Note”), dated December 30, 2021, to the Michael C. Howe Living Trust (the “Lender”). Michael C. Howe is the Chief Executive Officer of the Good Clinic LLC, one of our subsidiaries. The principal amount of the Note is $1,000,000, carries a 10% interest rate per annum, payable in monthly installments, and has a maturity date that is the earlier of (i) six (6) months from the date of execution, or (ii) the date on which the Company successfully lists its shares of common stock on Nasdaq or NYSE. The purchase price of the Note payable to the Company for the Note was $850,000 and was funded on December 30, 2021. The amount payable at maturity will be $1,000,000 plus 10% of that amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Following an event of default, as defined in the Note, the principal amount shall bear interest for each day until paid, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the maximum interest permitted by applicable law and 18%. The Note contains a “most favored nations” clause that provides that, so long as the Note is outstanding, if the Company issues any new security, which the Lender reasonably believes contains a term that is more favorable than those in the Note, the Company shall notify the Lender of such term, and such term, at the option of the Lender, shall become a part of the Note.

 

The Company entered into a debt-for-equity exchange agreement with Gardner Builders Holdings, LLC (the “Creditor”) on January 5, 2022 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance  of  shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of MITI (the “Restricted Shares”) to the Creditor in exchange for the Company Debt Obligations, as defined below. 

 

The Agreement settles certain amounts owed by the Company to the Creditor (the “Accounts Payable Amount”) as well as upcoming amounts that will become due between the date of the Agreement and April 1, 2022. The Agreement also settles incurred interest and penalties on the amounts owed through January 5, 2022, as well as future interest payments on amounts to be incurred in the first quarter of 2022 (collectively, the “Additional Costs”, and combined with the Accounts Payable Amount, the “Company Debt Obligations”). The Accounts Payable Amount is $500,000, the Additional Costs is $294,912.56 and the conversion price is $0.25. As a result, 3,179,650 Restricted Shares were authorized to be issued. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Agreement on January 5, 2022.

 

Summary Risk Factors

 

Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware of before you decide to invest in our Company. The following is a summary of our key risks. A more detailed description of each of the risks can be found below under the heading “Risk Factors.”

 

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

 

 

We are in the initial stages of our business plan and have limited or no historical performance on which to base an investment decision and may never become profitable.

 

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

If we are unable to generate significant revenue, we may need to raise additional capital which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

 

We may incur additional debt in the future which may contain restrictive covenants.

 

 

We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated, or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

 

 

 

The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible into shares of our Common Stock, may dilute the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders and may make it more difficult to raise additional capital.

     
 

Our operating results and liquidity needs could be negatively affected by market fluctuations and economic downturns

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

 

We are currently focused on a new business model and have extremely limited operating history and limited information and therefore our business may be difficult to evaluate.

 

 

Our business expansion is dependent upon us finding suitable locations for additional clients.

 

 

We may be unable to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel.

 

 

We may become involved in legal proceedings.

 

 

Our business is also dependent upon the various insurance companies agreeing to reimburse patients for our services.

 

 

Our industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance we will successfully compete with our competitors who may have greater resources and experience than us.

 

 

We do not have any registered trademarks or trade names.

 

 

We are dependent on the successful development, marketing and advertising efforts of our clinics and telehealth services.

 

 

The telehealth market is immature and volatile and may never develop, or may develop more slowly than we expect, may encounter negative e publicity or we may be unable to compete effectively.

 

 

Rapid technological change in our industry present us with significant risks and challenges.

 

 

We may not manage our strategy effectively.

 

 

Any damage to our reputation may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Government Regulation

 

 

If the statutes and regulations in our industry change, we could be negatively impacted.

 

 

The impact on our planned operations by recent and future healthcare legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is unpredictable and volatile.

 

 

We are subject to federal Anti-Kickback Statutes and Federal Stark Law.

 

 

We must comply with Health Information Privacy and Security Standards.

 

 

A breach in our cyber security could cause a violation of our obligations under HIPAA, a breach of customer and patient privacy or may have other negative consequences.

     
 

We are subject to Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations and other federal and state healthcare laws.

 

 

Changes in healthcare laws could create an uncertain environment.

 

 

Our operations are subject to the nation’s healthcare laws, as amended, repealed, or replaced from time to time.

 

 

 

Our revenues may depend on our patients’ receipt of adequate reimbursement from private issuers and government sponsored healthcare programs.

 

 

Future regulatory programs remain uncertain.

 

Risks Related to Acquisitions

 

 

Acquisitions may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of the sellers.

 

 

We may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring companies.

 

 

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of additional indebtedness and increased amortization expenses.

 

 

We face risks arising from acquisitions that we may pursue in the future.

 

Risks Related to our Management

 

 

Our success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service of certain of our officers and directors.

 

 

A sizable portion of our voting securities is owned and controlled by our executive officer and certain key stockholders, and they therefore maintain significant control over the company and the outcome of matters put to a stockholder vote.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock

 

 

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

     
  Shares eligible for future sale may have adverse effects on our share price.
     
  Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
     
  If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
     
  Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.
     
  There can be no assurances that our Common Stock once listed on the Nasdaq will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
     
  Our reverse stock split may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of our Common Stock.
     
 

Because we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders and have other anti-takeover defenses, it may be more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.
     
 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

 

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the near future therefore investors will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell the shares at a higher price that their purchase price.

 

 

Until recently, our Common Stock was thinly traded and may prevent you from selling at or near asking prices, if at all.

 

 

Corporate Information

 

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), previously known as True Nature Holding, Inc., which was previously known as Trunity Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, incorporated in January 18, 2012. Effective April 22, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc.

 

Since 2020, our operations have focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. In March of 2020, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Mitesco NA LLC, which holds The Good Clinic LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company for our clinic business. The Company had previously established a strategy to address opportunities in Europe generally seeking technology solutions, or financing situations, through a Dublin based subsidiary, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings Ltd. After a review of its near-term opportunities in North America, the Board of Directors has determined that any efforts in the European community should be discontinued so that it can best focus on its North American operations. In conjunction with this decision the Company for the period ending December 31, 2021it will take a one-time charge of $12,500 related to the discontinuation and wind down of its European efforts.

 

We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five (5) additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six (6) clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two (2) new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. We are targeting to open fifty (50) new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing clinics we may acquire.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This prospectus covers the possible resale by the Selling Stockholders identified below. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants are collectively, the “Shares”. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Warrants, see the section of this prospectus entitled “The Private Placements” above. We are registering the Shares in order to permit the Selling Shareholders to offer the Shares for resale from time-to-time. Except as otherwise noted and except for the ownership of the Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists information regarding the ownership of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders. The first column lists the shares beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to this offering. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders in this offering. Under the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants, the Selling Stockholders may not convert the Series D Preferred Stock or exercise the Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) the Selling Stockholders or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99%. A holder may increase or decrease its beneficial ownership limitation upon notice to us provided that in no event such limitation exceeds 9.99%, and that any increase shall be effective on the 61st day after such notice. The selling stockholders may sell all, some, or none of its shares in this offering. 

 

The third column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after the offering assuming the sale of all of the shares being offered.

 

The fourth column lists the percent of the class to be owned to be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after the offering. The fourth column assumes the sale of all the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus and is based on 212,933,170 shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2021.

 

This prospectus generally covers the resale of at least 34,440,000 shares of common stock issued or issuable to the Selling Stockholders in connection with the Private Placement. Because the conversion price of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock and the Warrants, a Selling Stockholders may not convert the Series C Preferred Stock or exercise the Warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such Selling Stockholders, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or exercise, which may be increased to 9.99% upon notice to the Company. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and the section titled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. . Some statements in this prospectus, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

 

Special Notice Regarding the Worldwide Covid-19 Crisis

 

The world economy is facing significant uncertainties as a result of the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. While we are a small company and have a limited workforce, it is likely we will face increased risk in the case that our financing needs are delayed; our acquisition targets face liquidity issues; or if our professional relationships are challenged from limited staff availability or access. We cannot predict with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reactions thereto will continue and expect to face difficulty in developing our business and building our planned clinics. It is not possible for us to accurately predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition at this time, but such effects may be material. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks identified elsewhere in this section.

 

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

 

We are in the initial stages of our present business plan and have a limited historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon, and we may never become profitable.

 

We have only a limited history and a new business plan upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. Our planned operations are subject to all business risks associated with new companies. The likelihood of our success must be considered considering the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business, operation in a competitive industry. There is a possibility that we could sustain losses in the future. There can be no assurances that we will ever operate profitably.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because of our limited operating history, history of losses and financial resources, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.

 

We have a history of losses, have an accumulated deficit of $20.4, million at September 30, 2021 and incurred net losses of $6.13 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $2.9 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We have nominal revenues from our operations. The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm issued in connection with our audited financial statements for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, since we have had recurring operating losses and our lack of liquidity and working capital. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. We have generated only minimal revenues from our present business plan. If we generate revenue more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to pay our operating expenses or achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we will need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to obtain funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

 

We need additional capital to fund our operations and cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital on reasonable terms or at all, and we may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.

 

We need additional capital to implement and fund our operations. We estimate we will require approximate net proceeds of $1,000,000 to open each clinic and up to an additional $250,000 to operate the clinic for a period of one year. If we are not able to obtain adequate financing on reasonable terms or if it is not available at all, we will be unable to open and acquire medical clinics and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. The extent of our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) the availability and terms of any financing available to us; (ii) the opening of medical clinics by our competitors in the geographic areas where we plan to operate; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions; and (v) regulations applicable to our operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs. Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

 

We may incur additional debt in the future which may contain restrictive covenants and impair our operating flexibility.

 

Because we currently have no significant revenue and limited cash on hand, we must seek funds for our operational plans. If we incur additional indebtedness in the future, a portion of the cash flow we generate, if any, will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of our stockholders. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on our limited assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated, or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.

 

We do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified to date include (i) lack of segregation of duties and (ii) lack of sufficient resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (iii) lack of formal control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions. As such, our internal controls over financial reporting was not designed or operating effectively.

 

We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

 

 

We have not yet retained sufficient staff or engaged sufficient outside consultants with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation, especially of complex instruments, to devise and implement effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls. We will be required to expend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy these weaknesses. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate candidates will be located and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on our business. Our ability to retain staff with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation will also be dependent upon the revenue we generate from operations and our ability to raise sufficient funding.

 

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results, or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results and cause a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

 

The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, convertible Preferred Stock and other convertible securities may dilute the percentage ownership of the then-existing stockholders and may make it more difficult to raise additional equity capital.

 

As of December 31, 2021, there are outstanding options and warrants to purchase 18,996,211 and 29,820,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. In addition, we have dividends on the Preferred X stock convertible into an additional 275,570 shares of Common Stock and our Series C and D Preferred Stock which is convertible into 21,420,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise of such options and warrants and conversion of convertible securities would dilute the then-existing stockholders’ percentage ownership of our stock, and any sales in the public market of Common Stock underlying such securities could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock. Moreover, the terms upon which we would be able to obtain additional equity capital could be adversely affected because the holders of our options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, likely, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than those provided by such securities.

 

Our operating results and liquidity needs could be negatively affected by market fluctuations and economic downturn.

 

Our operating results and liquidity could be negatively affected by economic conditions generally, both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. The market for clinics and services we provide may be particularly vulnerable to unfavorable economic conditions. Some customers may consider certain of our services to be discretionary, and if full reimbursement for such services is not available, demand for these services may be tied to the discretionary spending levels of our targeted patient populations. Domestic and international equity and debt markets have experienced and may continue to experience heightened volatility and turmoil based on domestic and international economic conditions and concerns. In the event these economic conditions and concerns continue or worsen, and the markets continue to remain volatile, our operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected by those factors in many ways, including weakening demand for certain of our services and making it more difficult for us to raise funds if necessary, and our stock price may decline. Additionally, although we plan to market our services primarily in the United States, our endeavors involve opening clinic in the European, exposing us to risk.

 

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we are currently focused on a new business model and have extremely limited operating history and limited information.

 

We recently engaged in a new business model for our clinics in the United States. We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five (5) additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six (6) clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two (2) new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. We are targeting to open fifty (50) new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing clinics we may acquire.

 

There is a risk that we will be unable to successfully generate significant revenue from this new business model and that we will be unable to enter into additional clinics or that any additional clinics that we enter will be on favorable terms. We are subject to many risks associated with this new business model. There is no assurance that our activities will be successful or will result in any revenues or profit. Even if we generate revenue, there can be no assurance that we will be profitable. We are subject to the risks inherent to the operation of a new business enterprise and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully address these risks.

 

Our business expansion is dependent upon us finding suitable locations for additional clinics.

 

We plan to establish 5 to 7 clinics in the Minneapolis /St. Paul Metropolitan area of Minnesota and then continue expansion in the Denver, Colorado area, subject to receipt of adequate funding. We target to open clinics in residential concentrations of population to enhance the convenience. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in finding suitable locations at affordable prices.

 

Our estimate of our required funding is based upon certain estimates for our lease payments which if incorrect will require us to raise more funding than anticipated to fulfill our goals and objectives.

 

Failure to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel could also impede our future plans.

 

We must attract and retain sufficient medical professional employees to operate and execute our service model and growth plan even though there is a limited number of qualified medical professionals We plan to establish 5 to 7 clinics in the Minneapolis /St. Paul Metropolitan area of Minnesota and then continue expansion in the Denver, Colorado area, subject to receipt of adequate funding. Each clinic that we open will need to be staffed with enough Nurse Practitioners. We will face competition for Nurse Practitioners from a range of companies and providers, including traditional healthcare providers and medical practices that offer similar services.

 

Our business is also dependent upon the various insurance companies agreeing to reimburse patients for our services.

 

Currently, we only have insurance companies that have approved us as a service provider and have agreed to reimburse patients for use of our services. For us to attract patients, we will need to be approved as a service provider by multiple service providers as patients typically do not want to pay out of pocket for the services we provide. Our failure to be approved by additional insurance companies as a service provider will result in a material adverse impact on our business. The evolving nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to anticipate the nature and amount of medical reimbursements, third-party private payments, and participation in certain government programs and thus to reliably predict our operating results. Our strategy may incur significant costs, which could adversely affect our financial condition. Our plan to enter strategic transactions involves significant costs, including financial advisory, legal, and accounting fees, and may include additional costs for items such as fairness opinions and severance payments. We currently do not have significant revenue to pay these costs which could adversely affect our overall financial condition. If we fail to do so, performance of the business will be adversely impacted. If we are unable to implement our plan of operations effectively, it will have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue.

 

We may become involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

By operating in the health care industry, we will face an inherent business risk of exposure to personal injury claims. Effective on April 19, 2021we obtained malpractice insurance however, there can be no assurance that such insurance will adequately protect us from such claims. A successful personally liability claim, or series of claims brought against us, more than our insurance coverage, would negatively impact our financial condition.

 

From time to time and in the ordinary course of our business, we and certain of our subsidiaries may become involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including for example, employment disputes and litigation; client disputes and litigation alleging solution and implementation defects, personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law and breaches of contract and warranties; and other third party disputes and litigation alleging personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law, and breaches of contracts and warranties.

 

 

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or “PPP”, established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 18, 2020, the Company’s former President and COO completed and submitted an application on behalf of the Company to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) for a PPP loan, which was subsequently approved. On April 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of approximately $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020.

 

On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds disbursed under the Note. The Company investigated the terms of the application and discovered its former President had erroneously represented it was refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan when no such loan had been received. Bank of America requested that the Company remit the funds received back to Bank of America. The Company is currently working with Bank of America on a repayment plan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. 

 

As of December 31, 2021, based on communication with Bank of America, it is expected that approximately $25,000 of the PPP loan will be forgiven and we have received conditional approval to pay the loan off over sixty months.

 

All such legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to our operations and distracting to management. If resolved against us, such legal proceedings could result in excessive verdicts, injunctive relief or other equitable relief that may affect how we operate our business. Similarly, if we settle such legal proceedings, it may affect how we operate our business. Future court decisions, alternative dispute resolution awards, business expansion or legislative activity may increase our exposure to litigation and regulatory investigations. In some cases, substantial non-economic remedies or punitive damages may be sought. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any verdict, judgment or settlement that may be entered against us, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we incur liability that exceeds our insurance coverage or that is not within the scope of the coverage in legal proceedings brought against us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We are in an intensely competitive industry and there is no assurance we will be able to compete with our competitors who have greater resources than us.

 

While the telehealth market is in an early stage of development, it is competitive and we expect it to attract increased competition, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We also expect to face competition for our planned medical clinics using Nurse Practitioners. We currently face competition in the telehealth industry from a range of companies, including specialized software and solution providers that offer similar solutions, often at substantially lower prices, and that are continuing to develop additional products and becoming more sophisticated and effective. In addition, large, well-financed health systems have in some cases developed their own telehealth tools and may provide these solutions to their customers and patients at discounted prices. The surge in interest in telehealth, and in particular the relaxation of HIPAA privacy and security requirements, has also attracted new competition from providers who utilize consumer-grade video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Twilio. Competition from large software companies or other specialized solution providers, communication tools and other parties could result in continued pricing pressures, which is likely to lead to price declines in certain product segments, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability, and market share.

 

The market for healthcare solutions including walk-in clinics and services is intensely competitive. We compete in a highly fragmented primary care market with direct and indirect competitors that offer varying levels of impact to key stakeholders such as patients and employers. Our competitive success is contingent on our ability to simultaneously address the needs of key stakeholders efficiently and with superior outcomes at scale compared with competitors. We compete with walk-in clinics, traditional healthcare providers and medical practices, technology platforms, care management and coordination, digital health, telehealth and telemedicine and health information exchange. These competitors primarily include primary care providers who are employed by or affiliated with health networks. Our indirect competitors also include episodic consumer-driven point solutions such as telemedicine as well as urgent care providers. Generally, urgent care providers in the local communities we will serve provide services like those we intend to offer, and our competitors (1) are more established than we are, (2) may offer a broader array of services or more desirable facilities to patients and providers than ours and (3) may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to admit and refer patients, among other things. In the future, we expect to encounter increased competition from system-affiliated hospitals and healthcare companies, as well as health insurers and private equity companies seeking to acquire providers, in specific geographic markets. We also face competition from specialty hospitals (some of which are physician-owned), primary care providers and outpatient centers for market share in high margin services and for quality providers and personnel. Furthermore, some of the clinics and medical offices that compete with us may be supported by government agencies or not-for-profit organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and can finance capital expenditures and operations on a tax-exempt basis.

 

Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer and patient requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of patients and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our solutions and services may be reduced and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

 

 

Because we are a new business, our competitors may have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater resources than we do. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer and patient requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary services, technologies, or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

 

Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of the telehealth market and medical clinic markets, which could create additional price pressure. In addition, many healthcare provider organizations are consolidating to create integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. As provider networks and managed care organizations consolidate, thus decreasing the number of market participants, competition to provide products and services like ours could become more intense, and the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships with key industry participants could increase. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. Considering these factors, even if our solution is more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential clients may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing our solution. If we are unable to successfully compete in the telehealth market, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Competitors may also be better positioned to contract with leading health network partners in our target markets. If our competitors are better able to attract patients, contract with health network partners, recruit providers, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities than we are, we may experience an overall decline in member volumes and net revenue. There is no assurance we will be able to successfully compete in the markets in which we plan to operate which could cause you to lose your investment.

 

Our lack of registered trademarks and trade names could potentially harm our business.

 

Our federal trademark registration for the mark THE GOOD CLINIC is on the Supplemental Register, not the Principal Register. The Supplemental Register does not confer the same rights and benefits as the Principal Register. Registration on the Supplemental Register is not useful for challenging third parties who may infringe our trademark rights, and we would need to rely on our common law rights to pursue enforcement. The Supplemental Register also does not confer nationwide priority of rights. As we expand our business, we may encounter third parties with common law rights in certain geographic markets with trademark rights that prevent us from using the mark THE GOOD CLINIC in those markets.

 

The success of our planned business depends on our ability to develop, market, and advertise our clinics and telehealth services.

 

Our ability to establish effective marketing and advertising campaigns for any clinics and telemarketing services we develop is important to our success. If we are unable to establish awareness of our brands and services, we may not be able to attract customers and generate revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The telehealth market is immature and volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops more slowly than we expect, if it encounters negative publicity or if our services are not competitive, the growth of our business will be harmed.

 

We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five (5) additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six (6) clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two (2) new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. We are targeting to open fifty (50) new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing clinics we may acquire.

 

We are new to this marketplace and there is no assurance we will be successful in our efforts. The telehealth market is relatively new and unproven, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and sustain high levels of demand, consumer acceptance and market adoption. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of patients to use, and to increase the frequency and extent of their utilization of, our services, as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of telehealth to employers, health plans, government agencies and other purchasers of healthcare for beneficiaries. Negative publicity concerning us, or the telehealth market could limit market acceptance of our services. If our patients do not perceive the benefits of our services, or if our services are not competitive, then our business may not develop at all and we may not generate significant revenue, or it may develop more slowly than we expect. Similarly, individual and healthcare industry concerns or negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy in the context of telehealth could limit market acceptance of our healthcare services. If any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

Rapid technological change in our industry presents us with significant risks and challenges.

 

The telehealth market is characterized by rapid technological change, changing consumer requirements, short product lifecycles and evolving industry standards. Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our solution with next-generation technologies and to develop or to acquire and market new services to access new consumer populations. There is no guarantee that we will possess the resources, either financial or personnel, for the research, design and development of new applications or services, or that we will be able to utilize these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence. Further, there can be no assurance that technological advances by one or more of our competitors or future competitors will not result in our present or future software-based products and services becoming uncompetitive or obsolete.

 

 

If we do not manage our strategy effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.

 

We have not yet generated significant revenues from our present operations and may not do so for an indefinite period of time. Our strategy is to operate walk-in clinics, provide telemedicine and acquire complimentary business in the future. Our future revenues and profitability depend upon our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy. There can be no assurance given that we will be successful in executing our growth strategy, and even if we achieve our strategic plan, that we will realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits we expect our strategy will achieve. The failure to realize those benefits could have a material adverse effect on or business, financial condition, and results of operations. Acquisitions may require greater than anticipated investment of operational and financial resources. Acquisitions and related growth may also require the integration of different services, assimilation of new employees, diversion of management and IT resources, increases in administrative costs and other additional costs associated with any debt or equity financings undertaken in connection with such acquisitions. We may not be able to effectively manage this expansion in any one or more of these areas, and any failure to do so could significantly harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We cannot assure you that any acquisition we undertake will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our resources and may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and acquire systems and infrastructure to accommodate our planned operations. The failure to implement our plan of operations and manage any future growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business.

 

Any damage to our reputation may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We believe that developing and maintaining our brand is critical and that our financial success is directly dependent on consumer perception of our brand. Furthermore, the importance of our brand recognition may become even greater as competitors offer more services similar to ours. We believe that our customers view our brand as one that is trusted, respected and effective. Many factors, some of which are beyond our control, are important to maintaining our reputation and brand. These factors include our ability to comply with ethical, social, medical, labor, and environmental standards. Any actual or perceived failure in compliance with such standards could damage our reputation and brand.

 

The success of our brand may also suffer if our marketing strategy or services do not have the desired impact on our company’s image or its ability to attract consumers. Further, our brand value could diminish significantly due to a number of factors, including consumer perception that we have acted in an irresponsible manner, adverse publicity about our clinics, our failure to maintain the integrity of our products, the failure of our services to deliver consistently positive customer experiences, or the services becoming unavailable to consumers.

 

Risks Related to Government Regulation

 

If the statutes and regulations in our industry change, our business could be adversely affected.

 

The U.S. healthcare industry has undergone significant changes designed to improve patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, and increase access to medical care. These changes include enactments and repeals of various healthcare related laws and regulation. Our operations and economic viability may be adversely affected by the changes in such regulations, including: (i) federal and state fraud and abuse laws; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback statutes; (iii) federal and state false claims laws; (iv) federal and state self-referral laws; (v) state restrictions on fee splitting; (vi) laws regarding the privacy and confidentiality of patient information; and (vii) other laws and government regulations.

 

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our future business practices, or our business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

The impact on our planned operations of recent healthcare legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

The impact on us of healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our revenue is dependent on the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes in healthcare spending, reimbursement, and policy. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory, and other influences. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the “Affordable Care Act” or the “ACA”) in 2010 made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed and increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States.

 

 

Since its enactment, there have been judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA as well as recent efforts by the current administration to repeal or replace certain aspects of the ACA. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted, which includes a provision repealing, effective January 1, 2019, the tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed by the ACA on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year that is commonly referred to as the “individual mandate.” Since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, there have been additional amendments to certain provisions of the ACA, and we expect the current administration and Congress will likely continue to seek to modify all, or certain provisions of, the ACA. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition. Congress may consider other legislation to repeal and replace elements of the ACA. In December 2019, a federal appeals court held that the individual mandate portion of the ACA was unconstitutional and left open the question whether the remaining provisions of the ACA would be valid without the individual mandate. We continue to evaluate the effect that the ACA and its possible modification or repeal and replacement has on our business. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition.

 

Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. These changes include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent laws, which began in 2013 and will remain in effect through 2029 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. New laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which may materially adversely affect customer demand and affordability for our products and services and, accordingly, the results of our financial operations. Additional changes that may affect our business include the expansion of new programs such as Medicare payment for performance initiatives for physicians under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) which first affected physician payment in 2019. At this time, it is unclear how the introduction of the Medicare quality payment program will impact overall physician reimbursement.

 

Such changes in the regulatory environment may also result in changes to our payer mix that may affect our operations and revenue. In addition, certain provisions of the ACA authorize voluntary demonstration projects, which include the development of bundling payments for acute, inpatient hospital services, physician services and post-acute services for episodes of hospital care. Further, the ACA may adversely affect payers by increasing medical costs generally, which could influence the industry and potentially impact our business and revenue as payers seek to offset these increases by reducing costs in other areas. Certain of these provisions are still being implemented and the full impact of these changes on us cannot be determined at this time.

 

Uncertainty regarding future amendments to the ACA as well as new legislative proposals to reform healthcare and government insurance programs, along with the trend toward managed healthcare in the United States, could result in reduced demand and prices for our services. We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payers will pay for healthcare products and services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

 

We are regulated by Federal Anti-Kickback Statutes.

 

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a provision of the Social Security Act of 1972 that prohibits as a felony offense the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, (1) the referral of a patient for items or services for which payment may be made in whole or part under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs, (2) the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs or (3) the purchase, lease, or order or arranging or recommending the purchasing, leasing or ordering of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) amended section 1128B of the Social Security Act to make it clear that a person need not have actual knowledge of the statute, or specific intent to violate the statute, as a predicate for a violation. The OIG, which has the authority to impose administrative sanctions for violation of the statute, has adopted as its standard for review a judicial interpretation which concludes that the statute prohibits any arrangement where even one purpose of the remuneration is to induce or reward referrals. A violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony punishable by imprisonment, criminal fines of up to $25,000, civil fines of up to $50,000 per violation, and three times the amount of the unlawful remuneration. A violation also can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs. In addition, pursuant to the changes of the ACA, a claim that includes items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a false claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

 

We cannot assure that the applicable regulatory authorities will not determine that some of our arrangements with physicians violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or other applicable laws. An adverse determination could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other health care programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

We are regulated by the Federal Stark Law.

 

The federal Stark Law, 42 U.S.C. 1395nn, also known as the physician self-referral law, generally prohibits a provider from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity (including hospitals) providing ‘‘designated health services,’’ if the physician or a member of the physician’s immediate family has a ‘‘financial relationship’’ with the entity, unless a specific exception applies. Designated health services include, among other services, inpatient hospital services, outpatient prescription drug services, clinical laboratory services, certain imaging services (e.g., MRI, CT, ultrasound), and other services that our affiliated physicians may order for their patients. The prohibition applies regardless of the reasons for the financial relationship and the referral; and therefore, unlike the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, intent to violate the law is not required. Like the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law contains statutory and regulatory exceptions intended to protect certain types of transactions and arrangements. Unlike safe harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute with which compliance is voluntary, an arrangement must comply with every requirement of a Stark Law exception, or the arrangement is in violation of the Stark Law.

 

Because the Stark Law and implementing regulations continue to evolve and are detailed and complex, while we attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, there can be no assurance that the arrangements entered into by us with affiliated physicians and facilities will be found to be in compliance with the Stark Law, as it ultimately may be implemented or interpreted. The penalties for violating the Stark Law can include the denial of payment for services ordered in violation of the statute, mandatory refunds of any sums paid for such services, and civil penalties of up to $15,000 for each violation, double damages, and possible exclusion from future participation in the governmental healthcare programs. A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law’s prohibitions may be fined up to $100,000 for each applicable arrangement or scheme.

 

Some states have enacted statutes and regulations against self-referral arrangements similar to the federal Stark Law, but which may be applicable to the referral of patients regardless of their payor source and which may apply to different types of services. These state laws may contain statutory and regulatory exceptions that are different from those of the federal law and that may vary from state to state. An adverse determination under these state laws and/or the federal Stark Law could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other health care programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

 

We must comply with Health Information Privacy and Security Standards.

 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended, contain detailed requirements concerning the use and disclosure of individually identifiable patient health information (“PHI”) by various healthcare providers, such as medical groups. HIPAA covered entities must implement certain administrative, physical, and technical security standards to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of certain electronic health information received, maintained, or transmitted. HIPAA also implemented standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including billing and claim collection activities. Violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules may result in civil and criminal penalties, including a tiered system of civil money penalties that range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with a cap of $1.5 million per year for identical violations. A HIPAA covered entity must also promptly notify affected individuals where a breach affects more than 500 individuals and report breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals annually. State attorneys general may bring civil actions on behalf of state residents for violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules, obtain damages on behalf of state residents, and enjoin further violations.

 

Many states also have laws that protect the privacy and security of confidential, personal information, which may be similar to or even more stringent than HIPAA. Some of these state laws may impose fines and penalties on violators and may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. We expect increased federal and state privacy and security enforcement efforts.

 

A cyber security incident could cause a violation of HIPAA, breach of customer and patient privacy, or other negative impacts.

 

We will rely extensively on our information technology (or IT) systems to manage scheduling and financial data, communicate with our future customers and their patients, vendors, and other third parties, and summarize and analyze operating results. In addition, we have made significant investments in technology, including the engagement of a third-party IT provider. A cyber-attack that bypasses our IT security systems could cause an IT security breach, a loss of protected health information, or other data subject to privacy laws, a loss of proprietary business information, or a material disruption of our IT business systems. This in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business and result of operations. In addition, our future results of operations, as well as our reputation, could be adversely impacted by theft, destruction, loss, or misappropriation of public health information, other confidential data, or proprietary business information.

 

Computer malware, viruses, and hacking and phishing attacks by third parties have become more prevalent in our industry, have occurred on our systems in the past, and may occur on our systems in the future. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. As cyber-security threats develop and grow, it may be necessary to make significant further investments to protect data and infrastructure. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, (i) we could suffer severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, (ii) the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed, (iii) we could lose potential sales, our ability to deliver our services or operate our business may be impaired, (iv) we may be subject to litigation or regulatory investigations or orders and (v) we may incur significant liabilities. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the potentially significant losses that may result from security breaches.

 

We must comply with Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations.

 

We are subject to federal, state, and local regulations governing the storage, use and disposal of waste materials and products. Although we believe that our safety procedures for storing, handling, and disposing of these materials and products comply with the standards prescribed by law and regulation, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from those hazardous materials. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of our insurance coverage, which we may not be able to maintain on acceptable terms, or at all. We could incur significant costs and attention of our management could be diverted to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations. Federal regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration impose additional requirements on us, including those protecting employees from exposure to elements such as blood-borne pathogens. We cannot predict the frequency of compliance, monitoring, or enforcement actions to which we may be subject as those regulations are being implemented, which could adversely affect our operations.

 

 

We must comply with a range of other Federal and State Healthcare Laws.

 

We are subject to other federal and state healthcare laws that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The Health Care Fraud Statute prohibits any person from knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, which can be either a government or private payor plan. Violation of this statute, even in the absence of actual knowledge of or specific intent to violate the statute, may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. The Health Care False Statement Statute prohibits, in any matter involving a federal health care program, anyone from knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing, or covering up, by any trick, scheme or device, a material fact, or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation, or making or using any materially false writing or document knowing that it contains a materially false or fraudulent statement. A violation of this statute may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. Under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of the Social Security Act, a person (including an organization) is prohibited from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented to any United States officer, employee, agent, or department, or any state agency, a claim for payment for medical or other items or services where the person knows or should know (a) the items or services were not provided as described in the coding of the claim, (b) the claim is a false or fraudulent claim, (c) the claim is for a service furnished by an unlicensed physician, (d) the claim is for medical or other items or service furnished by a person or an entity that is in a period of exclusion from the program, or (e) the items or services are medically unnecessary items or services. Violations of the law may result in penalties of up to $10,000 per claim, treble damages, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs.

 

In addition, the office of inspector general (“OIG”) may impose civil monetary penalties against any physician who knowingly accepts payment from a hospital (as well as against the hospital making the payment) as an inducement to reduce or limit medically necessary services provided to Medicare or Medicaid program beneficiaries. Further, except as permitted under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, a person who offers or transfers to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary any remuneration that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services may be liable for civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each wrongful act.

 

In addition to the state laws previously described, we may also be subject to other state fraud and abuse statutes and regulations if we expand our operations nationally. Many states have adopted a form of anti-kickback law, self-referral prohibition, and false claims and insurance fraud prohibition. The scope of these laws and the interpretations of them vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. Generally, state laws reach to all healthcare services and not just those covered under a governmental healthcare program. A determination of liability under any of these laws could result in fines and penalties and restrictions on our ability to operate in these states. We cannot assure that our arrangements or business practices will not be subject to government scrutiny or be found to violate applicable fraud and abuse laws.

 

Changes in healthcare laws could create an uncertain environment and materially impact us.

 

We cannot predict the effect that the ACA and its implementation, amendment, or repeal and replacement, may have on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Any changes in healthcare laws or regulations that reduce, curtail, or eliminate payments, government-subsidized programs, government-sponsored programs, and/or the expansion of Medicare or Medicaid, among other actions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, the ACA dramatically changed how healthcare services are covered, delivered, and reimbursed. The ACA requires insurers to accept all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions, cover an extensive list of conditions and treatments, and charge the same rates, regardless of pre-existing condition or gender.

 

The ACA and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Acts”) also mandated changes specific to home health and hospice benefits under Medicare. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the ACA, including the “individual mandate” provisions of the ACA that generally require all individuals to obtain healthcare insurance or pay a penalty. However, the U.S. Supreme Court also held that the provision of the ACA that authorized the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to penalize states that choose not to participate in the expansion of the Medicaid program by removing all its existing Medicaid funding was unconstitutional. In response to the ruling, several state governors opposed its state’s participation in the expanded Medicaid program, which resulted in the ACA not providing coverage to some low-income persons in those states. In addition, several bills have been, and are continuing to be, introduced in U.S. Congress to amend all or significant provisions of the ACA, or repeal and replace the ACA with another law. In December 2017, the individual mandate was repealed via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Afterwards, legal, and political challenges as to the constitutionality of the remaining provisions of the ACA resumed.

 

 

Our operations are subject to the nations healthcare laws, as amended, repealed, or replaced from time to time.

 

The net effect of the ACA on our business is subject to numerous variables, including the law’s complexity, lack of complete implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation, or possible amendment, as well as the uncertainty as to the extent to which states will choose to participate in the expanded Medicaid program. The continued implementation of provisions of the ACA, the adoption of new regulations thereunder and ongoing challenges thereto, also added uncertainty about the current state of U.S. healthcare laws and could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Healthcare providers could be subject to federal and state investigations and payor audits.

 

Due to our participation in government and private healthcare programs, we are from time to time involved in inquiries, reviews, audits, and investigations by governmental agencies and private payors of our business practices, including assessments of our compliance with coding, billing, and documentation requirements. Federal and state government agencies have active civil and criminal enforcement efforts against healthcare companies, and their executives and managers. The Deficit Reduction Act, which provides a financial incentive to states to enact their own false claims acts, and similar laws encourage investigations against healthcare companies by different agencies. These investigations could also be initiated by private whistleblowers.

 

Responding to audit and investigative activities are costly and disruptive to our business operations, even when the allegations are without merit. If we are subject to an audit or investigation, a finding could be made that we or our affiliates erroneously billed or were incorrectly reimbursed, and we may be required to repay such agencies or payors, may be subjected to pre-payment reviews, which can be time-consuming and result in non-payment or delayed payments for the services we or our affiliates provide, and may be subject to financial sanctions or required to modify our operations.

 

Our revenues may depend on our patients receipt of adequate reimbursement from private insurers and government sponsored healthcare programs.

 

Political, economic, and regulatory influences continue to change the healthcare industry in the United States. If and when we start receiving reimbursements from third parties, the ability of patients to pay fees for our products will partially depend on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of such materials and related treatments will continue to be available from private health coverage insurers and other similar organizations. We may have difficulty gaining market acceptance for the products we sell if third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement to hospitals. Major third-party payors of hospitals, such as private healthcare insurers, periodically revise their payment methodologies based, in part, upon changes in government sponsored healthcare programs. We cannot predict these periodic revisions with certainty, and such revisions may result in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain specified products, potentially adversely impacting our business, results of operations, and financial conditions when we start receiving reimbursement from third party payors.

 

When we start receiving reimbursement from third party payors, the sales of our therapies will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement by third-party payors, such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payors often challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of medical treatments and services. Governmental approval of health care products does not guarantee that these third-party payers will pay for the products. Even if third-party payers do accept our therapeutic treatments, the amounts they pay may not be adequate to enable us to realize a profit. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of therapies may change before our products and services are approved for marketing, and any such changes could further limit reimbursement, if any.

 

Future regulatory action remains uncertain.

 

We operate in a highly regulated and evolving environment with rigorous regulatory enforcement. Any legal or regulatory action could be time-consuming and costly. If we or the manufacturers or distributors that supply our products fail to comply with all applicable laws, standards, and regulations, action by the FDA or other regulatory agencies could result in significant restrictions, including restrictions on the marketing or use of the products we sell or the withdrawal of the products we sell from the market. Any such restrictions or withdrawals could materially affect our reputation, business, and operations.

 

Risks Related to Acquisitions

 

Acquisitions may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of the sellers.

 

While we intend that any acquisitions that we consummate will typically be structured as asset purchase agreements in which we attempt to limit our risk and exposure relative to the respective sellers’ liabilities, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in avoiding all liability. Creditors may seek to hold us accountable for seller debt and customers and for seller breaches of contract prior to our transactions. Occasionally, disaffected shareholders may attempt to interfere with our business acquisitions. We will attempt to minimize all of these risks through thorough due diligence, negotiating indemnities and holdbacks, obtaining relevant representations from sellers, and leveraging experienced professionals when appropriate; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to mitigate all risks.

 

 

We may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring companies.

 

Although we expect that one or more acquisition opportunities will become available in the future, we may not be able to acquire companies at all or on terms favorable to us. We will likely need additional financing for such acquisitions, but there is no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds or raise capital through the issuance of our equity on favorable terms. Certain of our larger, better capitalized competitors may seek to acquire some of the companies we may be interested in. Competition for acquisitions would likely increase acquisition prices and result in us having fewer acquisition opportunities. Depending on the type of businesses we acquire, we may have varying cost saving and/or cross-selling opportunities with the acquired business. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve anticipated cost savings and cross-selling on our acquisitions, and failure to do so may mean we overpaid for such acquisitions. In completing any acquisitions, we will rely upon the representations and warranties and indemnities made by the sellers with respect to each acquisition as well as our own due diligence investigation. We cannot be assured that such representations and warranties will be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition of the acquired companies or their customers. To the extent that we are required to pay for obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may not realize the expected benefit from such acquisition, and we will have overpaid in cash, stock, assumed debt, seller notes, and/or earnouts for the value received in that acquisition.

 

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.

 

Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, the write-off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We face risks arising from acquisitions that we pursue in the future.

 

We may pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counter parties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. These risks may prevent us from realizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize he full economic value of a strategic transaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.

 

Risks Related to Our Management

 

Our future success depends, in part, on the performance and continued service of our officers and directors

 

We presently depend to a great extent upon the experience, abilities, and continued services of our management team, particularly our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of our management team’s services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation. Failure to maintain our management team could prove disruptive to our daily operations, require a disproportionate amount of resources and management attention, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We do not maintain key person insurance on any member of our management team.

 

Our executive officers, directors and certain key stockholders own and control a significant number of voting securities and so long as they do, they are able to control the outcome of stockholder voting.

 

Our executive officers, directors as well as certain other key shareholders are the owners of approximately 71% of the voting shares of the Company as a result of their ownership over our Series X Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series X Preferred Stock”), and Common Stock. The Series X Preferred stock votes with our outstanding shares of Common Stock at the rate of 20,000 votes for each share owned, one (1) vote for each common holder. As such, our management can determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. Our management’s control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without its support and may prevent a change in our control. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our Common Stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our Common Stock. However, subject to effectiveness of this registration statement, the holders of the Series X Preferred Stock have agreed to exchange their shares for newly issued Series D Preferred Stock. This event will create an additional [___] shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and as a result all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock will be extinguished, along with their voting rights.  In this event, the executive officers, directors, and other key shareholders will not be able to control the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval and we will need our stockholders approval for certain corporate transactions which may involve more time and expense.

 

 

Risks Relating to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock

 

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds will be used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not apply our net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering primarily for general corporate purposes and clinic expansion.

 

Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering, or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including the commercial success of our systems and the costs of our research and development activities, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.

 

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Shares eligible for future sale may have adverse effects on our share price.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of shares or the perception that such sales could occur may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our shares. We may issue additional shares in subsequent public offerings or private placements to make new investments or for other purposes. We are not required to offer any such shares to existing shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, it may not be possible for existing shareholders to participate in such future share issuances, which may dilute the existing shareholders’ interests in us.

 

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

 

The public offering price per share is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $[__] per share, based on the assumed public offering price of $[__] per share which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

 

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

 

We currently intend to retain all our future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business, and therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We believe it is likely that our Board will continue to conclude, that it is in our best interests to retain all earnings (if any) for the development of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

 

 

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.

 

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. On January 31, 2022, the reported low sale price of our Common Stock was $0.17, while the reported high sales price was $0.18, with a closing price of $0.18. For comparison purposes, on December 31, 2020, our stock price closed at $0.03. There have been no discernable announcements or developments by the company or third parties between December 31, 2020 and January 31, 2021 that could account for this fluctuation. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The stock market in general and the market for telehealth companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. For example, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has caused broad stock market and industry fluctuations. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our stockholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate holdings. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Common Stock. The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the following:

 

 

sale of our Common Stock by our stockholders, executives, and directors;

 

volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our securities;

 

our ability to obtain financings to implement our business plans;

 

the timing and success of introductions of new clinics;

 

our ability to attract new customers;

 

the impact of COVID-19;

 

changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of securities and sales of large blocks of securities by our stockholders;

 

our cash position;

 

announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;

 

our inability to enter new markets or develop new products;

 

reputational issues;

 

our inability to successfully manage our business or achieve profitability;

 

announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;

 

changes in general economic, political and market conditions in any of the regions in which we conduct our business;

 

changes in industry conditions or perceptions;

 

analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;

 

departures and additions of key personnel;

 

disputes and litigation related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;

 

changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics;

 

market conditions or trends in our industry; and

 

other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

 

These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. Since the stock price of our Common Stock has fluctuated in the past, has been recently volatile and may be volatile in the future, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current prices or that future sales of our Common Stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

 

Additionally, securities of certain companies have recently experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due to short sellers of shares of Common Stock, known as a “short squeeze.” These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks have abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we won’t be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.

 

 

There can be no assurances that our Common Stock once listed on the Nasdaq will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

We have applied to list the shares of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq, under the symbol “MITI.” An approval of our listing application by Nasdaq will be subject to, among other things, our fulfilling all the listing requirements of Nasdaq. In addition, Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from Nasdaq), would make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our Common Stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our Common Stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

 

Our Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near asking prices, or at all.

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “MITI.” Shares of our Common Stock have, until recently, been thinly traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing shares of our Common Stock at or near asking prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors. We are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stockbrokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume; and stock analysts, stockbrokers and institutional investors may be risk-averse and be reluctant to follow an unproven, early-stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a result, our stock price may not reflect an actual or perceived value. Also, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal, as compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broader or more active public trading market for our Common Stock may not develop or if developed, may not be sustained. Due to these conditions, you may not be able to sell your shares at or near asking prices or at all should you attempt to sell your common shares.

 

Our reverse stock split may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of our Common Stock.

 

The effect of the reverse stock split on the market price for our Common Stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the prices for shares of the Common Stock after the reverse stock split will increase proportionately to prices for shares of our Common Stock immediately before the reverse stock split. The market price of our Common Stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the reverse stock split, or the number of shares issued and outstanding.

 

Furthermore, even if the market price of our Common Stock does rise following the reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock immediately after the proposed reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view the reverse stock split negatively, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of our Common Stock. There is also the possibility that liquidity may be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares which would be issued and outstanding when the reverse stock split is effected, particularly if the price per share of our Common Stock begins a declining trend after the reverse stock split is affected. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after the reverse stock split may be lower than the market capitalization before the reverse stock split.

 

Because we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders and have other anti-takeover defenses, it may be more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.

 

In general, our Board may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more additional series of preferred stock that have more than one vote per share, although our ability to designate and issue preferred stock is currently restricted by covenants in the Certificate of Designation for the Series C Preferred Stock. Without these restrictions, our Board could issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and give effective control of our business to our management. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our Common Stock. This could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their Common Stock. This could also cause the market price of our Common Stock shares to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.

 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

Sales of large blocks of our Common Stock could depress the price of our Common Stock. The existence of these shares and shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, warrants and options create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” which can act as a depressant to our Common Stock price. The existence of an overhang, whether sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing shareholders and investors seek to convert or exercise such securities or sell a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the shares of our Common Stock sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of our shares of Common Stock sold by the Company in this offering will be approximately $[___] million (or approximately $[__] million if the underwrites exercises its over-allotment option in full), based on an assumed public offering price of $[__] per share, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to continue to grow and expand our clinics in our targeted markets.

 

Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our global marketing and sales efforts, with development efforts, economic and political effects of COVID-19 and government responses to it, and the overall economic environment. Therefore, our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from this offering. We may ultimately use the proceeds for different purposes than what we currently intend. Pending any ultimate use of any portion of the proceeds from this offering, if the anticipated proceeds will not be sufficient to fund all the proposed purposes, our management will determine the order of priority for using the proceeds, as well as the amount and sources of other funds needed.

 

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $ per share would increase (decrease) the aggregate net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $   million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 500,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $      million, if the assumed public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the  OTCQB under the symbol “MITI.”

 

On January 31, 2022, the price of our Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB was $0.176 and we have approximately 549 holders of record of our Common Stock, and approximately 8,000 shareholders including smaller holders and those with restricted shares not currently in the market.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Under the Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits and dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired. The Company does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive only such dividends (cash or otherwise) as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company issued 26,227 shares of its Series X Preferred stock in order to settle certain of the Company’s obligations. The Series X Preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and will pay a 10% per year dividend based upon the liquidation value. The dividend may be paid in cash or in the issuance of restricted Common Stock. If the Company chooses to pay the dividend in restricted Common Stock the number of shares issued to fulfill the dividend payment shall be determined based on the stock price on the date the dividend award is made by the Board of Directors. The Series X has 20,000 votes per share and votes with the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears, at the rate of 6% per annum of the Stated Value and to be paid within 15 days after the end of each of our fiscal quarters. The Series C Preferred Stock along with the Series D Preferred stock ranks senior to all other preferred stock of the Company except in relation to the Company’s Series X Preferred Stock, which ranks pari passu to the Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. 

 

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock accrues dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears, at the rate of 6% per annum of the Stated Value and to be paid within 15 days after the end of each of our fiscal quarters. The Series D Preferred Stock along with the Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to all other preferred stock of the Company except in relation to the Company’s Series X Preferred Stock, which ranks pari passu to the Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.

 

Exchange and extinguishment of the Series X Preferred Stock

 

Subject to effectiveness of this registration statement the holders of the Series X Preferred Stock have agreed to exchange their shares for newly issued Series D Preferred Stock. This event will create an additional 717,013 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and as a result all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock will be extinguished, along with their voting rights and the Company will no longer accrue the dividends associated with the Series X Preferred Stock.

 

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, Inc., as the Series D Preferred Stock and each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof, or automatically upon the request of the Company’s underwriters that the Series D Preferred Stock convert to shares of Common Stock or upon listing of the Company’s Common Stock on a national securities exchange. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing the Conversion Amount (defined in the COD as the Stated Value, $1.05 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends) by the $0.25 conversion price (the “Conversion Price”).

 

All shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be extinguished in favor of Common Stock upon the upon listing of the Company’s Common Stock on a national securities exchange at the request of the underwriter, along with any outstanding Series C share holdings.

The dilution information discussed above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering to be determined at pricing. A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed public offering price of $[ ] per share of Common Stock would increase or decrease our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after this offering by $[ ] and the dilution per share of Common Stock to new investors by $[ ] , assuming the number of Common Stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by and should be read together with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

 

We are working to open primary care clinics around the US that are in residential centers and leverage the expertise, training, and license of Nurse Practitioners. We are focusing on wellness as a core of the practice. Mitesco’s miss ion is to increase convenience and access to care, improve the quality of care, and reduce its cost.

 

We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five (5) additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six (6) clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two (2) new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. These new locations are expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. We plan to open clinics in residential concentrations of population to enhance the convenience, especially timely due to the changes in community travel patterns resulting from the pandemic. Our clinicians use both telehealth (virtual) and in-person visits to treat and coach the clients along their journey to better health and quality of life. Our clinics are led by Nurse Practitioners that use their license, extensive training, expertise, and empathy to help people remain stable or improve their health. We emphasize wellness, beginning with a clients’ co-developed plan that identifies from where a person is starting and constructs a plan for how they can achieve their goals. The practice uses an integrated health approach that includes an assessment of both the individual’s behavioral and physical health and combines this with their activation level and their goals. The clinic offers wellness coaching, behavioral health care, episodic care, dermatologic services, and supplements. We seek to care for the whole person’s needs.

 

Like the first clinic, we seek to locate clinics convenient to residential centers. In pursuit of this approach, we intend to continue to expand our relationship with Lennar Corporation and other large-scale developers. While we have no formal relationship with these developers other that as a tenant, we believe such relationships give us an advantage in recruiting and retaining clients in close proximity to our locations.

 

Recent Developments

 

The Company had previously established a strategy to address opportunities in Europe generally seeking technology solutions, or financing situations, through a Dublin based subsidiary, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings Ltd. After a review of its near-term opportunities in North America, the Board of Directors has determined that any efforts in the European community should be discontinued so that it can best focus on its North American operations. In conjunction with this decision the Company for the period ending December 31, 2021 it will take a one-time charge of $12,500 related to the discontinuation and wind down of its European efforts.

 

Special Notice Regarding the Worldwide Covid-19 Crisis

 

The world economy is facing significant uncertainties as a result of the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. In parts of our operation, we are experiencing adverse impact from pandemic. These adverse impacts relate to supply chain issues. We have had difficulty obtaining all the supplies that a clinic needs to open including exam tables, otoscopes, and medical supplies as well as some medical supplies currently being distribution of allocation. We have been able to share amongst the clinics to meet the demand for services and continue to open clinics close to schedule. If the supply chain issues continue or worsen for an extended period, we could be adversely impacted in our ability to deliver services and to open clinics on schedule. Because we operate primary care clinics, we are experiencing benefits as well as heightened risk and demand for services related to COVID-19.  We are currently experiencing fast growing demand versus our forecasted rate of appointments at our new clinics due to the greater demand for the for services related to the virus including COVID-19 testing, COVID- 19 vaccination, and treatment for the symptoms related to COVID-19.  Although we have experienced few of our clinic staff contracting the virus and needing to stay home, this can change at any point and result in our inability to fully staff the clinic and service the demand for services. Therefore, revenue could be impacted adversely if our staff becomes ill and is unable to work.  Even though we follow CDC guidelines to prevent cross contamination, a broader infection of the staff will impact our ability operate the clinics and maintain the accelerating growth in clients and revenue.  In our commitment to protect our clients and staff, we have a requirement for all staff to be vaccinated and tested at the first sign of symptoms. This may limit our ability to hire staff in the future, as there are still many Americans that are not vaccinated.   It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of adverse impacts of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations, or the resulting financial condition.  The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening other risks identified elsewhere in this section.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily indicative of results for the current period of any future periods. Further, because of any acquisitions of other businesses, and any additional acquisitions or other such transactions we may pursue, we may experience large expenditures specific to the transactions that are not incident to our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial condition because they involve the use of more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the assumptions used in making the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and codified in the ASC as Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). The revenue recognition standard in ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue as performance obligations, defined in a contract with a customer as goods or services transferred to the customer in exchange for consideration, are satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies and significant judgments employed in the determination of revenue.

 

The Company applied the modified retrospective approach to all contracts when adopting ASC 606. As a result, at the adoption of ASC 606 what was previously classified as the provision for bad debts in the statement of operations is now reflected as implicit price concessions (as defined in ASC 606) and therefore included as a reduction to net operating revenues in 2018. For changes in credit issues not assessed at the date of service, the Company will prospectively recognize those amounts in other operating expenses on the statement of operations. For periods prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the provision for bad debts has been presented consistent with the previous revenue recognition standards that required it to be presented separately as a component of net operating revenues.

 

Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payers and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide services are satisfied. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payer (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates for services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded pursuant to the guidance contained in ASU 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

We account for Common Stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants. All warrants our have been canceled at this time.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we must estimate our actual current tax liabilities and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet. We must assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, the impact will be included in income tax expense in the statement of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.

 

Business Combinations

 

We account for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, estimated contingent consideration payments and pre-acquisition contingencies. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:

 

●future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents

●discount rates utilized in valuation estimates

●Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

 

Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimates of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We are opening primary care clinics around the United States utilizing the experience, expertise, and training of licensed, advanced degreed registered Nurse Practitioners. Our Clinics provide complete primary care, basic behavioral healthcare, and basic dermatological services for consumers.  The medical practice focuses on whole person health and prevention. We seek to create a jointly developed longitudinal care plan with each individual that focuses on the patient’s individual quality of life goals. We personalize care interactions based upon the individuals care style as identified by University of Oregon’s “Patient Activation Measure” a peer reviewed, validated tool also in use by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. We pursue health equity in our practices and are a member of the National Minority Health Association. The practice accepts most major commercial insurances, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients. We support pricing transparency and maintain a published price list for self-pay patients.

 

In addition to the traditional fee-for-service medical care, we offer a variety of services focused on wellness for both individuals and self-funded employers.  Our wellness offerings include dermatological services, weight management, nutritional and diabetes coaching  as well as offering products such as educational books, vitamins, and essential oils.  Most of our wellness products and services are not covered by insurance and are paid for by the consumer at the time the of service.  We offer our services both in the clinics and well as via telehealth and seek to facilitate same day and next day appointments for client convenience. Mitesco’s mission is to increase convenience and access to care, improve the quality of care, and reduce cost.

 

We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five (5) additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six (6) clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two (2) new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area subject to obtaining sufficient financing. We target to open clinics in residential concentrations of population to enhance the convenience, which we believe will be well received by customers due to the changes in community travel patterns resulting from the pandemic. Our clinicians use both telehealth (virtual) and in-person visits to treat and coach the clients along their journey to better health and quality of life. Our clinics are led by Nurse Practitioners that use their license, extensive training, expertise, and empathy to try to help people remain stable or improve their health. We emphasize wellness, beginning with a clients’ co-developed plan that identifies from where a person is starting and constructs a plan for how they can achieve their goals. The practice uses an integrated health approach that includes an assessment of both the individual’s behavioral and physical health and combines this with their activation level and their goals. The primary care clinic offers wellness coaching, behavioral health care, episodic care, dermatologic services, and supplements. We seek to care for the whole person’s needs.

 

Like the first clinic, we seek to locate clinics convenient to residential centers. In pursuit of this approach, we intend to continue to expand our relationship with Lennar Corporation and other large-scale developers. While we have no formal relationship with these developers other that as a tenant, we believe such relationships give us an advantage in recruiting and retaining clients in close proximity to our locations. By locating in proximity, we expect to be able to build the client panel more quickly than typical for primary care practices.

 

The Company had previously established a strategy to address opportunities in Europe generally seeking technology solutions, or financing situations, through a Dublin based subsidiary, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings Ltd. After a review of its near-term opportunities in North America, the Board of Directors has determined that any efforts in the European community should be discontinued so that it can best focus on its North American operations. In conjunction with this decision the Company for the period ending December 31, 2021it will take a one-time charge of $12,500 related to the discontinuation and wind down of its European entity.

 

Operational Overview

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we have focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners and telemedicine technology under “The Good Clinic” name. Our strategy is to utilize a mix of Nurse Practitioners and telemedicine technology in clinics to improve patient experiences and outcomes and reduce healthcare costs as compared to other available treatment options.

 

Our Business and Related Matters

 

In March 2020, we formed The Good Clinic LLC, a Colorado limited liability company for our clinic business. We entered into an agreement with James Woodburn, Kevin Lee Smith, Michael Howe, and Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty to establish a series of clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners and telemedicine technology in states where full practice authority for Nurse Practitioners is supported. Full practice authority is the authorization of Nurse Practitioners to evaluate patients, diagnose, order, and interpret diagnostic tests and initiate and manage treatments, including prescribe medications. We issued 4,800 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to these individuals as compensation. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, these shares were cancelled in consideration of an issuance of 600,000 shares of restricted Common Stock in aggregate, and as a result there are no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of this filing.

 

 

Target Locations

 

We are in the process of identifying strategic new locations for The Good Clinic facilities. We anticipate initial expansion of five to seven clinics in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metropolitan area Minnesota. We then expect, subject to adequate funding, to expand in Colorado and then Arizona, and Florida with a goal of having 50 units operating by 2023. We are targeting expansion states experiencing a shortage of available primary care providers within the 36 states that support near or fully independent practice by Nurse Practitioners.

 

Consumer research has clearly identified that consumers want convenience (Beckers Hospital Review, What Do You Really Know About Patient Loyalty?). As such, we are seeking to locate clinics within more residential urban and suburban locations with higher density of population. Like the first clinic, we seek to locate clinics convenient to residential centers. In pursuit of this approach, we intend to continue to expand our relationship with Lennar Corporation and other large-scale developers. While we have no formal relationship with these developers other than as a tenant, we believe such relationships give us an advantage in recruiting and retaining clients in close proximity to our locations.

 

The Good Clinic facilities are expected to be developed in three sizes. They are planned to be 3,000 to 3,500 square feet with three to five Nurse Practitioners, from 1,250 to 2,000 square feet with two to three Nurse Practitioners, and small telehealth hubs staffed by a single nurse practitioner. The Nurse Practitioners practicing will be the primary care providers at these clinics. The Good Clinic will offer the following medical services:

 

 

Full-spectrum family practice services;

 

 

Flu and other vaccines;

 

 

Advanced Electronic Medical Records (EMR) that enables rapid, accurate and consistent medical documentation and protocols, safety features, follow-up planning and billing information;

 

 

Drug Testing;

 

 

Wellness programs and lifestyle education;

 

 

Nutritional planning and weight control programs;

 

 

Laboratory services including on-site testing and referral testing to major outsource lab companies;

 

 

Blood pressure, temperature, pulse rates, EKG, and pulmonary testing;

 

 

Women’s Health; and

 

 

Occupational health services including treatment of work injuries, pre-employment exams, drug testing, company sponsored flu shots and education programs for workers.

 

Patient Scheduling

 

We offer scheduling protocols to facilitate our clients’ ability to schedule appointments that meet their busy schedules or to come without appointment when unplanned sickness or injuries occur. For sudden sickness and minor injuries, we provide an alternative to hospital emergency rooms which often have long waits and excessive costs. The Good Clinics will open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 7 pm and Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm. The Good Clinics will provide its patients with the ability to access their practitioners seven days a week through clinic and virtual visits. We plan to offer customized hours and open access as alternatives for business clients seeking occupational services for their employees. We plan to own and lease certain medical equipment.

 

 

Connectivity Between Locations

 

Upon having multiple locations, we plan to have connectivity between the clinics so that our future patients can access their information for treatment or prescriptions at any of our available facilities and online via telehealth. When you work with The Good Clinic, we plan to know who you are and what you want and need.

 

Serving the Market

 

We believe there is a looming shortage of primary care providers in the United States. Approximately 23 States in the U.S. allow Nurse Practitioners to operate as fully independent primary care providers. Another 13 allow Nurse Practitioners broad autonomy in providing primary care services. By using Nurse Practitioners, we plan to focus on direct patient care, patient education and helping people to manage their health more effectively. The Good Clinics are designed to improve access to basic affordable primary care and empower Nurse Practitioners to function as healthcare providers. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, Nurse Practitioners are compensated 40% less than their physician counterparts. Additionally, 36,000 Nurse Practitioners (AANP Fact Sheet, https://www.aanp.org/about/all-about-nps/np-fact-sheet graduate each year making the necessary expertise readily available.

 

Like any consumer-focused business, locating a clinic is one-part art and one-part science. We evaluate concentration of primary care practices within the zip code and examine average wait-times for appointments and ensure the local markets are already using Nurse Practitioners as primary care providers. We are seeking the previous measures to be present in cities with higher population concentrations. We focus on convenience that includes locations near residential centers, adequate parking, good retail visibility in higher traffic areas and the presence of other retail businesses close by.

 

Billing and Payment

 

The Good Clinics bills health insurance companies for allowed medical services and accepts payment in cash or credit cards for client selected and non-covered services. We will also explore partnering with local businesses to provide near-site employer clinics for physicals, virus testing, and occupational health services.

 

Marketing

 

We plan to generate business for The Good Clinics through a combination of partnerships with residential developers and local marketing and advertising, direct sales of occupational medical services to companies (flu shots, workers injury treatment services, drug testing, and health promotion programs), public relations efforts with local charities, city and county organizations, hospitals and medical providers, networking and promotional events and open houses. We are using internal marketing including brochures, posters, magazines, health promotion articles, and educational materials that point to our services. Upon having a new patient, we plan to initiate client follow-up and schedule return visits. To assure broad access of insured clients in the medical service area, we plan to participate in contracts with health insurance providers, and the Medicare program, making The Good Clinics services fully reimbursable for its clients.

 

The Good Clinic is about delivering a convenient individualized care experience built on education, expertise, and empathy. We are the patient’s partner in obtaining quality and affordable medical care. The Good Clinic supports patient care with both in-clinic and telehealth visits.

 

Healthcare Industry Insight

 

According to a recent report published by Deloitte which examined the market for 2020 health care expenditures continue to consume an increasing portion of most economies. In the U.S., health care spending increased 3.9 percent to $3.5 trillion in 2017, and now represents 17.9 percent of the U.S.’ Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). An aging population and high levels of chronic conditions are contributing to expectations that health care expenditures will continue growing faster than the economy. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) estimates annual U.S. healthcare spending will grow at an average rate of 5.5 percent through 2026 and reach $5.7 trillion, or 19.7 percent of U.S. GDP, by 2026. We believe this trajectory is unsustainable and that health care IT (“HCIT”) may play an important role in facilitating a shift from a high-cost health care system that incents volume to a proactive system that incents health, quality, and efficiency.

 

For this change to occur, we believe traditional fee-for-service (“FFS”) reimbursement models must continue to shift to value-based approaches that are more aligned with quality, outcomes, and efficiency. The shift away from traditional FFS is evident in growth of lives covered under Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”). ACOs are groups of hospitals and providers that focus on providing coordinated, high-quality care to Medicare, Medicaid, or commercially insured populations, then share in savings created by lowering the cost of care. According to Leavitt Partners, lives covered under ACOs grew from approximately 5 million in 2011 to more than 32 million in 2018.

 

 

In addition to the increasing number of lives covered under ACOs, the structure of ACOs is evolving to where providers are expected to assume more risk. Currently, most ACO contracts are upside only, which means providers can receive bonuses for good performance, but they assume no downside for underperformance. In 2018, CMS released a rule called “Pathways to Success” that accelerates the time frame during which providers need to move to ACOs that include both upside bonuses and downside penalties. We believe this shift is important as assumption of risk by providers creates a strong incentive for them to improve care coordination and deliver high quality care at a lower cost.

 

Another step towards a value-based reimbursement occurred with the passage of The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (“MACRA”), which enacts significant reforms to the payment programs under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and consolidated three current value-based programs into one.

 

While each of the different approaches to aligning reimbursement with value will continue to evolve, we believe the trend away from traditional fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement to clinicians for services performed will continue. We believe this growth in government and private models aligning payment with value, quality and outcomes will drive major changes in the way health care is provided in the next decade, expect a much greater focus on patient engagement, wellness, and prevention. As health care providers become accountable for proactively managing the health of the populations they serve, we expect them to need ongoing investment in sophisticated information technology solutions that will enable them to predict when intervention is needed so that they can improve outcomes and lower the cost of providing care.

 

The increasingly complex and more clinical outcomes-based reimbursement environment, we believe is also contributing to a heightened demand for revenue cycle solutions and services and a desire for these solutions and services to be more closely aligned with clinical solutions. Over the past several years, there has been a shift in the U.S. marketplace towards a preference for a single platform across inpatient and ambulatory settings. The number of physicians employed by hospitals has increased as hospitals have acquired physician groups, and health systems are recognizing the benefit of having a single patient record at the hospital and the physician office. We believe the smaller providers and regional networks of healthcare providers will be the newest users of the technologies we seek to develop.

 

While health care providers are showing a preference for a single platform across multiple venues, there is also an increased push for interoperability across disparate systems to address the reality that no patient's record will only have information from a single health care IT system. We believe health information should be shareable and accessible among primary care physicians, specialists, and hospital physicians.

 

Competition

 

The market for healthcare solutions including walk-in clinics and telehealth services is intensely competitive. We compete in a highly fragmented primary care market with direct and indirect competitors that offer varying levels of impact to key stakeholders such as patients and employers. Our competitive success is contingent on our ability to simultaneously address the needs of key stakeholders efficiently and with superior outcomes at scale compared with competitors. Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer and patient requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of patients and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our solutions and services may be reduced and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

 

We currently face competition in the telehealth industry from a range of companies, including specialized software and solution providers that offer similar solutions, often at substantially lower prices, and that are continuing to develop additional products and becoming more sophisticated and effective. In addition, large, well-financed health systems have in some cases developed their own telehealth tools and may provide these solutions to their customers and patients at discounted prices. The surge in interest in telehealth, and in particular the relaxation of HIPAA privacy and security requirements, has also attracted new competition from providers who utilize consumer-grade video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Twilio. Competition from large software companies or other specialized solution providers, communication tools and other parties could result in continued pricing pressures, which is likely to lead to price declines in certain product segments, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability, and market share.

 

We compete with walk-in clinics, such as the CVS Minute Clinic, traditional healthcare providers and medical practices, care management and coordination, digital health, telehealth and telemedicine and health information exchange. Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer and patient requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of our clients, members and partners and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our solutions and services may be reduced and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

 

 

Our business is highly dependent on completing our clinics and gaining patients and customers in our target markets. However, the healthcare market is competitive, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We face competition in the healthcare industry for our solutions and services from a range of companies and providers, including traditional healthcare providers and medical practices that offer similar services. These competitors primarily include primary care providers who are employed by or affiliated with health networks. Our indirect competitors also include episodic consumer-driven point solutions such as telemedicine as well as urgent care providers. Generally, urgent care providers in the local communities we will provide services similar to those we offer, and our competitors (1) are more established than we are, (2) may offer a broader array of services or more desirable facilities to patients and providers than ours, and (3) may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to admit and refer patients, among other things. In the future, we expect to encounter increased competition from system-affiliated hospitals and healthcare companies, as well as health insurers and private equity companies seeking to acquire providers, in specific geographic markets. We also face competition from specialty hospitals (some of which are physician-owned), primary care providers and outpatient centers for market share in high margin services and for quality providers and personnel. Furthermore, some of the clinics and medical offices that compete with us may be supported by government agencies or not-for-profit organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and can finance capital expenditures and operations on a tax-exempt basis.

 

Our competitors may have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or patient requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary technologies or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger member or patient base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of the healthcare market, which would limit our member and patient growth. Considering these factors, even if our solution is more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential members, health network partners and enterprise clients may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing our solution. If we are unable to compete in the healthcare market, our business would be harmed.

 

Competitors may also be better positioned to contract with leading health network partners in our target markets, including existing markets after our current contracts expire. If our competitors are better able to attract patients, contract with health network partners, recruit providers, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities than we are, we may experience an overall decline in member volumes and net revenue. There is no assurance we will be able to compete in the markets in which we plan to operate which could cause you to lose your investment.

 

Management/Human Capital

 

We believe that the Company’s management team will remain relatively small in the near term and should consist of a team with experience in 1) public company accounting and finance, 2) software and systems, 3) brand marketing, and 4) public equities financing. Biographical and other information on our executive officers and directors is set forth under the section entitled Management of this prospectus.

 

We anticipate maintaining a relatively small corporate staff and employ the majority of our human capital in our subsidiaries. As of March 22, 2021, Lawrence Diamond serves as our Chief Executive Officer and director, Phillip Keller serves as our Chief Financial Officer and Jenny Lindstrom serves as our Chief Legal Officer. As of February 3, 2022, our subsidiary, The Good Clinic, LLC, employs 30 people in professional positions. We have partnered with several key vendors that are national in scope to meet the anticipated growth rate for building and opening clinics. We are currently recruiting additional clinical staff to serve the anticipated expanding clinic client demand. The Good Clinic continues to develop an extensive employee training program that will ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations as well as enable the team all have the expertise, knowledge, skills, and training to deliver the full scope of services offered to clients at the clinic, in person and virtually.

 

Our innovative approach towards delivering primary care is attracting many clinicians wanting to join the team. Additionally, we believe that the reputation of the founders from their work growing Quick Medix (fka MinuteClinic) and their work at schools of nursing and industry and trade associations is helping to deliver many experienced potential employees.

 

We also use the services of additional advisors and consultants on an as needed basis to perform outsourced tasks. None of our employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

 

 

Research and Development

 

The research to date for The Good Clinic was primarily conducted by present management of The Good Clinic, Michael C. Howe, Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty, Kevin Lee Smith, and Jim “Woody” Woodburn. Our Board of Directors and management also conducted research and development including accessing third party research reports, competitor analyses, review of prior professional experiences, and interviews with industry experts and potential partners. We did not incur any research and development costs during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

In August 2020, we applied for trademark protection of “The Good Clinic”, with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). Our federal trademark registration for the mark THE GOOD CLINIC is on the Supplemental Register, not the Principal Register. The Supplemental Register does not confer the same rights and benefits as the Principal Register.

Government Regulation

 

The healthcare industry is a highly regulated industry by both federal and state governments. We are subject to other federal and state healthcare laws that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We operate in a highly regulated and evolving environment with rigorous regulatory enforcement. Any legal or regulatory action could be time-consuming and costly. If we or the manufacturers or distributors that supply our products fail to comply with all applicable laws, standards, and regulations, action by regulatory agencies could result in significant restrictions. Any regulatory action could have a negative impact on us and materially affect our reputation, business, and operations. The U.S. healthcare industry has undergone significant changes designed to improve patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, and increase access to medical care. These changes include enactments and repeals of various healthcare related laws and regulation. Our operations and economic viability may be adversely affected by the changes in such regulations, including: (i) federal and state fraud and abuse laws; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback statutes; (iii) federal and state false claims laws; (iv) federal and state self-referral laws; (v) state restrictions on fee splitting; (vi) laws regarding the privacy and confidentiality of patient information; and (vii) other laws and government regulations.

 

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our future business practices, or our business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See the description below for certain of the laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations that we are currently subject to and the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.

 

 

The Affordable Care Act

 

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the “Affordable Care Act” or the “ACA”) in 2010 made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed and increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States.

 

Since its enactment, there have been judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA as well as recent efforts by the current administration to repeal or replace certain aspects of the ACA. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted, which includes a provision repealing, effective January 1, 2019, the tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed by the ACA on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year that is commonly referred to as the “individual mandate.” Since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, there have been additional amendments to certain provisions of the ACA, and we expect the current administration and Congress will likely continue to seek to modify all, or certain provisions of, the ACA. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition. Congress may consider other legislation to repeal and replace elements of the ACA. In December 2019, a federal appeals court held that the individual mandate portion of the ACA was unconstitutional and left open the question whether the remaining provisions of the ACA would be valid without the individual mandate. We continue to evaluate the effect that the ACA and its possible modification or repeal and replacement has on our business. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition.

 

Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. These changes include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent laws, which began in 2013 and will remain in effect through 2029 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. New laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which may materially adversely affect customer demand and affordability for our products and services and, accordingly, the results of our financial operations. Additional changes that may affect our business include the expansion of new programs such as Medicare payment for performance initiatives for physicians under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) which first affected physician payment in 2019. At this time, it is unclear how the introduction of the Medicare quality payment program will impact overall physician reimbursement.

 

Such changes in the regulatory environment may also result in changes to our payer mix that may affect our operations and revenue. In addition, certain provisions of the ACA authorize voluntary demonstration projects, which include the development of bundling payments for acute, inpatient hospital services, physician services and post-acute services for episodes of hospital care. Further, the ACA may adversely affect payers by increasing medical costs generally, which could have an effect on the industry and potentially impact our business and revenue as payers seek to offset these increases by reducing costs in other areas. Certain of these provisions are still being implemented and the full impact of these changes on us cannot be determined at this time.

 

Uncertainty regarding future amendments to the ACA as well as new legislative proposals to reform healthcare and government insurance programs, along with the trend toward managed healthcare in the United States, could result in reduced demand and prices for our services. We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payers will pay for healthcare products and services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Federal Anti-Kickback Statutes

 

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a provision of the Social Security Act of 1972 that prohibits as a felony offense the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, (1) the referral of a patient for items or services for which payment may be made in whole or part under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs, (2) the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs or (3) the purchase, lease, or order or arranging or recommending the purchasing, leasing or ordering of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) amended section 1128B of the Social Security Act to make it clear that a person need not have actual knowledge of the statute, or specific intent to violate the statute, as a predicate for a violation. The OIG, which has the authority to impose administrative sanctions for violation of the statute, has adopted as its standard for review a judicial interpretation which concludes that the statute prohibits any arrangement where even one purpose of the remuneration is to induce or reward referrals. A violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony punishable by imprisonment, criminal fines of up to $25,000, civil fines of up to $50,000 per violation, and three times the amount of the unlawful remuneration. A violation also can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs. In addition, pursuant to the changes of the ACA, a claim that includes items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a false claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

 

 

Federal Stark Law

 

The federal Stark Law, 42 U.S.C. 1395nn, also known as the physician self-referral law, generally prohibits a provider from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity (including hospitals) providing ‘‘designated health services,’’ if the physician or a member of the physician’s immediate family has a ‘‘financial relationship’’ with the entity, unless a specific exception applies. Designated health services include, among other services, inpatient hospital services, outpatient prescription drug services, clinical laboratory services, certain imaging services (e.g., MRI, CT, ultrasound), and other services that our affiliated physicians may order for their patients. The prohibition applies regardless of the reasons for the financial relationship and the referral; and therefore, unlike the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, intent to violate the law is not required. Like the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law contains statutory and regulatory exceptions intended to protect certain types of transactions and arrangements. Unlike safe harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute with which compliance is voluntary, an arrangement must comply with every requirement of a Stark Law exception, or the arrangement is in violation of the Stark Law.

 

Because the Stark Law and implementing regulations continue to evolve and are detailed and complex, while we attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, there can be no assurance that the arrangements entered into by us with affiliated physicians and facilities will be found to be in compliance with the Stark Law, as it ultimately may be implemented or interpreted. The penalties for violating the Stark Law can include the denial of payment for services ordered in violation of the statute, mandatory refunds of any sums paid for such services, and civil penalties of up to $15,000 for each violation, double damages, and possible exclusion from future participation in the governmental healthcare programs. A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law’s prohibitions may be fined up to $100,000 for each applicable arrangement or scheme.

 

Some states have enacted statutes and regulations against self-referral arrangements similar to the federal Stark Law, but which may be applicable to the referral of patients regardless of their payor source and which may apply to different types of services. These state laws may contain statutory and regulatory exceptions that are different from those of the federal law and that may vary from state to state. An adverse determination under these state laws and/or the federal Stark Law could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other health care programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

Health Information Privacy and Security Standards

 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended, contain detailed requirements concerning the use and disclosure of individually identifiable patient health information (“PHI”) by various healthcare providers, such as medical groups. HIPAA covered entities must implement certain administrative, physical, and technical security standards to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of certain electronic health information received, maintained, or transmitted. HIPAA also implemented standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including billing and claim collection activities. Violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules may result in civil and criminal penalties, including a tiered system of civil money penalties that range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with a cap of $1.5 million per year for identical violations. A HIPAA covered entity must also promptly notify affected individuals where a breach affects more than 500 individuals and report breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals annually. State attorneys general may bring civil actions on behalf of state residents for violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules, obtain damages on behalf of state residents, and enjoin further violations.

 

Many states also have laws that protect the privacy and security of confidential, personal information, which may be similar to or even more stringent than HIPAA. Some of these state laws may impose fines and penalties on violators and may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. We expect increased federal and state privacy and security enforcement efforts.

 

Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations

 

We are subject to federal, state, and local regulations governing the storage, use and disposal of waste materials and products. Although we believe that our safety procedures for storing, handling, and disposing of these materials and products comply with the standards prescribed by law and regulation, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from those hazardous materials. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of our insurance coverage, which we may not be able to maintain on acceptable terms, or at all. We could incur significant costs and attention of our management could be diverted to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations. Federal regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration impose additional requirements on us, including those protecting employees from exposure to elements such as blood-borne pathogens. We cannot predict the frequency of compliance, monitoring, or enforcement actions to which we may be subject as those regulations are being implemented, which could adversely affect our operations.

 

 

Federal and State Healthcare Laws

 

We are subject to other federal and state healthcare laws that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The Health Care Fraud Statute prohibits any person from knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, which can be either a government or private payor plan. Violation of this statute, even in the absence of actual knowledge of or specific intent to violate the statute, may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. The Health Care False Statement Statute prohibits, in any matter involving a federal health care program, anyone from knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing, or covering up, by any trick, scheme or device, a material fact, or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation, or making or using any materially false writing or document knowing that it contains a materially false or fraudulent statement. A violation of this statute may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. Under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of the Social Security Act, a person (including an organization) is prohibited from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented to any United States officer, employee, agent, or department, or any state agency, a claim for payment for medical or other items or services where the person knows or should know (a) the items or services were not provided as described in the coding of the claim, (b) the claim is a false or fraudulent claim, (c) the claim is for a service furnished by an unlicensed physician, (d) the claim is for medical or other items or service furnished by a person or an entity that is in a period of exclusion from the program, or (e) the items or services are medically unnecessary items or services. Violations of the law may result in penalties of up to $10,000 per claim, treble damages, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs.

 

In addition, the office of inspector general (“OIG”) may impose civil monetary penalties against any physician who knowingly accepts payment from a hospital (as well as against the hospital making the payment) as an inducement to reduce or limit medically necessary services provided to Medicare or Medicaid program beneficiaries. Further, except as permitted under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, a person who offers or transfers to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary any remuneration that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services may be liable for civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each wrongful act.

 

In addition to the state laws previously described, we may also be subject to other state fraud and abuse statutes and regulations if we expand our operations nationally. Many states have adopted a form of anti-kickback law, self-referral prohibition, and false claims and insurance fraud prohibition. The scope of these laws and the interpretations of them vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. Generally, state laws reach to all healthcare services and not just those covered under a governmental healthcare program. A determination of liability under any of these laws could result in fines and penalties and restrictions on our ability to operate in these states. We cannot assure that our arrangements or business practices will not be subject to government scrutiny or be found to violate applicable fraud and abuse laws.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business.

 

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or “PPP”, established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 18, 2020, the Company’s former President and COO completed and submitted an application on behalf of the Company to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) for a PPP loan, which was subsequently approved. On April 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of approximately $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020.

 

On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds disbursed under the Note. The Company investigated the terms of the application and discovered its former President had erroneously represented it was refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan when no such loan had been received. Bank of America requested that the Company remit the funds received back to Bank of America. The Company is currently working with Bank of America on a repayment plan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. 

 

Based on communications with Bank of America as of December 31, 2021 it is expected that approximately $25,000 of the PPP loan will be forgiven and we have received conditional approval to pay the loan off over sixty months at __ interest rate.

Arrangements for Nomination as Directors and Changes in Procedures for Nomination; Election of Directors

 

No arrangement or understanding exists between any director or nominee and any other persons pursuant to which any individual was or is to be selected or serve as a director. No director or executive officer has any family relationship with any other director or with any of the Company’s executive officers. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors is not permitted by our Certificate of Incorporation. Our Board of Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders or at a special meeting called for that purpose. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified.

 

Composition of our Board of Directors

 

Our board of directors currently consists of five members. Our directors hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation, or removal.

 

Director Independence

 

Except for Mr. Diamond, our Board determined that all our present directors are independent, in accordance with standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Our Board determined that, Lawrence Diamond under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, is not an independent director as a result of being an executive officer to the Company.

 

Our Board has determined that Mr. Brodmerkel, Dr. Naqvi, and Ms. Schweitzer, are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules’ independence standards for audit committee members. Our Board has also determined that Mr. Iturregui, Dr. Naqvi, and Ms. Schweitzer, are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules independence standards for compensation committee members and Mr. Brodmerkel, and Mr. Iturregui are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules independence standards for nominating and governance committee members.

 

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

 

As a general policy, our board of directors believes that separation of the positions of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of our board of directors from management, creates an environment that encourages objective oversight of management’s performance and enhances the effectiveness of our board of directors. As such, Mr. Diamond serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Brodmerkel serves as the Chairman of the Board.

 

Board of Directors Committees

 

The board of directors has established three standing committees of the board consisting of an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate nominating and governance committee, each of which will have the composition and the responsibilities described below.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” under applicable SEC rules and are providing disclosure regarding our executive compensation arrangements pursuant to the rules applicable to emerging growth companies, which means that we are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis and certain other disclosures regarding our executive compensation. The following discussion relates to the compensation of our named executive officers for 2020, consisting of Lawrence Diamond, our Chief Executive Officer, and Julie Smith our former President and Chief Operating Officer.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record date, and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of other securities currently convertible or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing the total number of shares with respect to which they possess beneficial ownership by the total number of outstanding shares. In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding but are issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares is added to the denominator in the calculation described above. Because the calculation of each person’s beneficial ownership set forth in the “Percentage Class” column of the table may include shares that are not presently outstanding, the total of the percentages set forth in such column may exceed 100%.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Charter Documents and Some Provisions of Delaware Law

 

Delaware Law

 

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. As a result, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

 

 

before such date, the Board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

 

 

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

 

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include the following:

 

 

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

 

any sale, transfer, pledge, or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

 

 

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

 

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

 

 

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its certificate of incorporation. We have not opted out of these provisions, which may as a result, discourage or prevent mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts of us.

 

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding are able to elect all our directors.

 

In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that at any regularly scheduled meeting of our stockholders, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been brought before the meeting (a) by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors, or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation who complies with the advance notice procedures set forth in writing.

 

The combination of these provisions makes it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our Board of Directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our Board of Directors. Since our Board of Directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.

 

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of Preferred Stock. The issuance of any series of Preferred Stock having rights superior to those of our Common Stock may result in a decrease in the value or market price of the Common Stock and could further be used by the Board as a device to prevent a change in control favorable to us. Holders of Preferred Stock to be issued in the future may have the right to receive dividends and certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of such Preferred Stock could make the possible takeover of us or the removal of management more difficult, and adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holder of our Common Stock or depress the market price of the Common Stock.

 

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our Board of Directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. Therefore, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company, outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover proposals, because negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Representatives Warrants

 

We have agreed to issue to the Representative or its designees, at the closing of this offering, warrants to purchase up to a total of            shares of Common Stock (5% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in this offering). The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing six months from the effective date of the offering, which period shall not extend further than five years from the effective date of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(A). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at a per share price equal to 150% of the public offering price per share in the offering. The Representative’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA.

The Representative’s Warrants will provide for cashless exercise and customary anti-dilution provisions (for share dividends, splits and recapitalizations and the like) consistent with FINRA Rule 5110, and the number of shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants shall be reduced, or the exercise price increased, if necessary, to comply with FINRA rules or regulations. Further, the Representative’s Warrants will provide for a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights in the event the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is no longer effective.

 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Overview

 

As of the date of this offering our Common Stock has only been traded on the OTC/QB Market. In connection with this offering, we have applied to apply to list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock. Upon completion of this offering, we will have an aggregate of [___] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, assuming the underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option. All the Common Stock sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act by persons other than by our affiliates.

 

Certain of the shares of Common Stock after the offering will be held by our existing shareholders. Upon consummation of the offering, approximately [__] % of our issued and outstanding Common Stock will be subject to such lock-up agreements.

 

Lock-up Agreements

 

We, all of our directors and executive officers who are holders of all of our outstanding Common Stock signed lock-up agreements in connection with this offering, pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, they agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for a period of at least 90 days after the date of the pricing of our initial public offering without the prior written consent of the underwriter.

 

Rule 144

 

Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

 

In general, beginning 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, a person who is an affiliate of ours, or who was an affiliate at any time during the 90 days before a sale, who has beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock for at least 180 days would be entitled to sell in “broker’s transactions” or certain “riskless principal transactions” or to market makers, a number of shares within any three-month period that does not exceed the greater of:

 

 

1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; and

 

the average weekly trading volume in our Common Stock on the during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

 

Affiliate resales under Rule 144 are also subject to the availability of current public information about us. In addition, if the number of shares being sold under Rule 144 by an affiliate during any three-month period exceeds 5,000 shares or has an aggregate sale price more than $50,000, the seller must file a notice on Form 144 with the SEC and Nasdaq concurrently with either the placing of a sale order with the broker or the execution directly with a market maker.

 

Non-Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

 

Under Rule 144, a person who is not an affiliate of ours at the time of sale and has not been an affiliate at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock for at least six months but less than a year, is entitled to sell such shares subject only to the availability of current public information about us. If such person has held our shares for at least one year, such person can resell without regard to any Rule 144 restrictions, including the 90-day public company requirement and the current public information requirement.

 

Non-affiliate resales are not subject to the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice filing provisions of Rule 144.

 

Rule 701

 

In general, under Rule 701, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants, or advisors who purchases shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is entitled to sell such shares 90 days after such effective date in reliance on Rule 144. Our affiliates can resell shares in reliance on Rule 144 without having to comply with the holding period requirement, and non-affiliates of the issuer can resell shares in reliance on Rule 144 without having to comply with the current public information and holding period requirements.

 

 

The SEC has indicated that Rule 701 will apply to typical stock options granted by an issuer before it becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, along with the shares acquired upon exercise of such options, including exercises after an issuer becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

Form S-8 Registration Statement

 

Following the completion of this offering, we intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register up the Common Stock issued or reserved for issuance under our 2022 Plan. The registration statement on Form S-8 will become effective automatically upon filing. Common Stock issued upon exercise of a share option and registered under the Form S-8 registration statement will, subject to vesting and lock-up provisions and Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to our affiliates, be available for sale in the open market immediately unless they are subject to a lock-up, in which case, immediately after the term of the lock-up expires.

 

THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY. IT DOES NOT COVER ALL SHARE TRANSFER RESTRICTION MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN LEGAL ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR SECURITIES LAWS AND TRANSFER RESTRICTION CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING, AND DISPOSING OF THE COMMON STOCK INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

 

 

 

 

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock acquired in this offering by a “non-U.S. holder” (as defined below) but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

 

This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any state or local or non-U.S. jurisdiction or under U.S. federal gift and estate tax rules, or rising out of other non-income tax rules, except to the limited extent set forth below. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

 

• banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts or other financial institutions;

 

• persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or the tax on net investment income;

 

• persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our Common Stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

 

• tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

 

• pension plans and tax-qualified retirement plans;

 

• controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

 

• partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

 

• brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

 

• traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

 

• persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);

 

• certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

 

• persons who hold our Common Stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction or integrated investment;

 

• persons who hold or receive our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any option or otherwise as compensation;

 

• persons who do not hold our Common Stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for in21vestment); and

 

• persons deemed to sell our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

 

In addition, if a partnership, entity, or arrangement classified as a partnership or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership or other entity. A partner in a partnership or other such entity that will hold our Common Stock should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock through a partnership or other such entity, as applicable.

 

 

This summary is for informational purposes only and is not tax advice. Each non-U.S. holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to its situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Stock arising under the U.S. federal gift or estate tax rules or under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S., or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

 

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

 

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity (or arrangement) treated as a partnership. A “U.S. person” is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

 

 

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

 

a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or otherwise treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

 

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

 

 

a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and that has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) that has made a valid election under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

Distributions

 

As described in the section titled “Dividend Policy,” we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock following the completion of this offering. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our Common Stock to non-U.S. holders, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will first constitute a return of capital and will reduce each non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Stock, but not below zero. Any additional excess will then be treated as capital gain from the sale of stock, as discussed under “Gain on Disposition of Common Stock.”

 

Subject to the discussions below on effectively connected income, and backup withholding and Compliance Act, or FATCA, withholding, any dividend paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such non-U.S. holder’s country of residence. To receive a reduced treaty rate, such non-U.S. holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced treaty rate. A non-U.S. holder of shares of our Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. If such non-U.S. holder holds our Common Stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the non-U.S. holder’s behalf, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to such agent, which then will be required to provide certification to the applicable withholding agent, either directly or through other intermediaries. Each non-U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

 

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are treated as effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, such non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States to which such dividends are attributable) are generally exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, subject to the discussion below on backup withholding and FATCA withholding. To claim this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. In addition, if a non-U.S. holder is a corporation, dividends such non-U.S. holder receives that are effectively connected with its conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such non-U.S. holder’s country of residence. Each non-U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock, including any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

 

Gain on Disposition of Common Stock

 

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA withholding, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock unless:

 

 

the gain is effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, such non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

 

 

such non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for an aggregate 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

 

 

our Common Stock constitutes a United States real property interest, or USRPI, by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests relative to the fair market value of our U.S. and worldwide real property interests plus our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, if our Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, your Common Stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests only if you actually (directly or indirectly) or constructively hold more than 5% of such regularly traded Common Stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding your disposition of, or your holding period for, our Common Stock.

 

A non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above will be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on the gain derived from the sale (net of certain deductions and credits) under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. Such a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate on a portion of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year that are attributable to such gain, as adjusted for certain items. A lower rate may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

 

A non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet above will be subject to tax at 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of such non-U.S. holder for the taxable year, provided such non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

 

Each non-U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Generally, we or an applicable withholding agent must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder, such non-U.S. holder’s name and address, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report is sent to such non-U.S. holder. Pursuant to any applicable income tax treaty or other agreement, the IRS may make such report available to the tax authority in such non-U.S. holder’s country of residence.

 

Dividends paid by us (or our paying agent) to a non-U.S. holder may also be subject to backup withholding at a current rate of 24%.

 

Such information reporting and backup withholding requirements may be avoided, however, if such non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption by providing a properly executed, and applicable, IRS Form W-8, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Generally, such information reporting and backup withholding requirements will not apply to a non-U.S. holder where the transaction is effected outside the United States, through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding, and information reporting may apply, however, if the applicable withholding agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that such non-U.S. holder is a U.S. person.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

 

 

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 

Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code, Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and related official IRS guidance, commonly referred to as FATCA, generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on our Common Stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” (as defined under FATCA, and which may include banks, traditional financial institutions, investment funds, and certain holding companies), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury to, among other things, identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined under FATCA), report annually substantial information about such accounts, and withhold on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. FATCA also generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on our Common Stock paid to a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specially defined under FATCA), unless such entity provides identifying information regarding each direct or indirect “substantial United States owners” (as defined under FATCA), certifies that it does not have any substantial United States owners, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Accordingly, the institution or entity through which our Common Stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required.

 

The withholding obligations under FATCA generally apply to dividends on our Common Stock. Such withholding will apply regardless of whether the beneficial owner of the payment otherwise would be exempt from withholding pursuant to an applicable tax treaty with the United States, the Code, or other exemptions described above. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.

 

Under proposed regulations, FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds has been eliminated. These proposed regulations are subject to change.

 

An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this section. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA withholding to their investment in, and ownership and disposition of, our Common Stock.

 

The preceding discussion of U.S. federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice to investors in their circumstances. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, holding, and disposing of our Common Stock, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

The Company understands that any Underwriting Agreement will be subject to FINRA review and approval and will be subject to any revisions required by FINRA. The actual size of the Offering, the precise number of Securities to be offered by the Company, and the offering price per Security shall be the subject of continuing negotiations between the Company and EF Hutton and will depend upon the capitalization of the Company (at the time of the Offering) being acceptable to EF Hutton, general market and economic conditions, a review and finalization of audited financial statements and formal financial projections of the Company, as well as other factors which EF Hutton deems relevant in its discretion. EF Hutton may: (i) with the Company’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), create an underwriting syndicate for the Offering comprised of EF Hutton’s representatives who are members of FINRA; (ii) rely on soliciting dealers who are FINRA members to participate in placing a portion of the Offering; and/or (iii) offer Securities to such dealers at less than the public Offering price.

The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing six months from the effective date of the offering, which period shall not extend further than five years from the effective date of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(A). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at a per share price equal to 150% of the public offering price per share in the offering. The Representative’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The Representative (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(1)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus. The Representative’s Warrants will provide for cashless exercise and customary anti-dilution provisions (for share dividends, splits and recapitalizations and the like) consistent with FINRA Rule 5110, and the number of shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants shall be reduced, or the exercise price increased, if necessary, to comply with FINRA rules or regulations. Further, the Representative’s Warrants will provide for a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights in the event the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is no longer effective. The demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the effective date of this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C). The piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than seven years from the effective date of this offering in compliance with FINRA rule 5110(g)(8)(D).

 

The Representative will also be entitled to a cash equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received by us with respect to any public or private sale of equity securities (“Tail Financing”) to the extent that such financing or capital is provided to us by investors whom the Representative had introduced to us during the term of our engagement agreement with the representative, if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the six-month period following the expiration or termination of such agreement.

 

Discretionary Accounts

 

The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of the securities offered hereby to any accounts over which they have discretionary authority.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, we, our executive officers and directors, and holders of greater than 5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (including shares underlying options, warrants and convertible securities) have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, or enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of, directly or indirectly, engage in any short selling of any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Stock, whether currently owned or subsequently acquired, without the prior written consent of the Representative, for a period of 90 days from the date of this prospectus.

 

 

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters or selling group members. The Representative may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us, and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

Listing

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “MITI.”  We intend to apply to list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MITI.”

 

Pricing of this Offering

 

Prior to this offering, there has not been an active market for our Common Stock. The public offering price for our Common Stock will be determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the underwriters believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant.

 

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.

 

•       Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while the offering is in progress.

 

•       Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of securities more than the number of securities the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market.

 

•       Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase securities through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more securities than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

•       Penalty bids permit the Representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our securities. As a result, the price of our securities in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

 

Passive Market Making

 

In connection with this offering, underwriters and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not more than the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

 

Certain Relationships

 

The underwriters and their affiliates have provided, or may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory, brokerage or other services to us and our affiliates, for which services they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees and expense reimbursement.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 Description of Business

 

Company Overview

 

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2012. On December 9, 2015, we restructured our operations and acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage company which sought to acquire compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of the restructuring, we completed a “spin out” of our former business line. On April 24, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc.

 

Since 2020, our operations have focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. In March of 2020, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Mitesco NA LLC, which holds The Good Clinic LLC, a Colorado limited liability company for our clinic business. The Company had previously established a strategy to address opportunities in Europe generally seeking technology solutions, or financing situations, through a Dublin based subsidiary, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings Ltd. After a review of its near-term opportunities in North America, the Board of Directors has determined that any efforts in the European community should be discontinued so that it can best focus on its North American operations. In conjunction with this decision the Company for the period ending December 31, 2021 it will take a one-time charge of $12,500 related to the discontinuation and wind down of its European efforts.

 

We opened our first The Good Clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the first quarter of 2021 and have five (5) operating at the time of this filing. We have two (2) additional sites under contract with build-out underway in the Denver metropolitan areas before the end of 2022. We are making plans for up to opening up to fifty (50) new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing sites we might acquire.

 

Note 2 - Financial Condition, Going Concern and Management Plans

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $442,000, current liabilities of $3,166,000, and has incurred a loss from operations and has generated minimal revenue. The Company’s principal operation is the development and operation of primary care health and wellness clinics operated by Nurse Practitioners. In addition, the Company develops and deploys software and systems for the healthcare marketplace. The Company intends to a) develop and acquire telemedical technologies, and b) evaluate other healthcare related opportunities both domestically and on an international basis. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to execute its business plan.

 

As a result of these factors, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company closed on a $3,000,000 Series C Preferred Stock and warrants offering and $1,668,000 restricted Common Stock offering. To continue its expansion plans, the Company believes that additional capital will need to be raised and has entered discussions to do so with certain companies. However, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, no formal agreement exists.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.

 

PPP Loan

 

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or "PPP", established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 25, 2020, the Company entered an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of approximately $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020. The current balance is $460,406 and the Company is currently in discussions for a) a partial forgiveness and b) the conversion of any remaining balance into a term note.

 

 

COVID -19 Impact

 

The Company has had some impact on its operations because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily with accessibility to staffing, consultants and in the capital markets, and it is adjusting as needed within its available resources. The Company will continue to assess the effect of the pandemic on its operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the duration and effect of possible business disruptions and the short-term effects and ultimate effectiveness of the travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing requirements and business closures in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect the Company’s business and the value of its securities.

 

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

We have determined that Good Clinic MN PLLC and the Good Clinic CO PLLC are  Variable Interest Entity’s (“VIE”) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” In evaluating whether our Company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, we have considered the purpose for which the VIE was created, the importance of each of the activities in which it is engaged and our Company’s decision-making role, if any, in those activities that significantly determine the entity’s economic performance as compared to other economic interest holders. This evaluation requires consideration of all facts and circumstances relevant to decision-making that affects the entity’s future performance and the exercise of professional judgment in deciding which decision-making rights are most important.

 

In determining whether our Company has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we evaluate all of our economic interests in the entity, regardless of form (debt, equity, management and servicing fees, and other contractual arrangements). This evaluation considers all relevant factors of the entity’s structure, including: the entity’s capital structure, contractual rights to earnings (losses), subordination of our interests relative to those of other investors, contingent payments, as well as other contractual arrangements that have potential to be economically significant. The evaluation of each of these factors in reaching a conclusion about the potential significance of our economic interests is a matter that requires the exercise of professional judgment.

 

As of December 31, 2021 the Good Clinic MN PLLC had assets related to the collection of receivables from third party payors of X and liabilities of Y relating to payroll and payroll tax liabilities.  As of December 31, 2021 the Good Clinic CO, PLLC  had not started operations and had no assets or liabilities.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.

 

Cash - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $442,000 as of September 30, 2021, and $65,000 as of December 31, 2020.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Property acquired in a business combination is recorded at estimated initial fair value. Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based upon the following life expectancy:

 

   

Years

Office equipment

   

3 to 5

Furniture & fixtures

   

3 to 7

Machinery & equipment

   

3 to 10

Leasehold improvements

   

Term of lease

 

In 2020, the Company entered into a lease for a clinic facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In connection with the facility, the Company incurred costs to design, engineer, build and install furniture and equipment in the facility. $417,000 was recorded in construction in progress on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The facility was completed, and the Company received its certificate of occupancy, in the first quarter of 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the costs previously recorded as construction in progress were recorded to fixed assets and are being depreciated over their useful lives or lease term as appropriate. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, no additional fixed assets were acquired. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered into three additional leases, two leases are for two new clinics and one lease was for the new corporate headquarters. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 the Company entered into three new clinic leases. With the signing of the three additional leases late in the second quarter we anticipate additional expenditures for fixed assets and leasehold improvements. During the fourth quarter of 2021 we expect to have expenditures of approximately $3 million related to construction and equipment related to these new clinic locations.

 

 

Revenue Recognition – On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

 

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

determination of the transaction price;

allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

Stock-Based Compensation-We recognize the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to those other than employees are recognized pursuant to FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard became effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

 

Convertible Instruments-The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments to determine whether there are conversion features or embedded derivative instruments including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including conversion options that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue free standing warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. When convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for separately, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount. When the Company issues debt securities, which bear interest at rates that are lower than market rates, the Company recognizes a discount, which is offset against the carrying value of the debt. Such discount from the face value of the debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income. In addition, certain conversion features are recognized as beneficial conversion features to the extent the conversion price as defined in the convertible note is less than the closing stock price on the issuance of the convertible notes.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments- Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible notes are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model the Company uses for determining the fair value of its derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had retired all derivative instruments.

 

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants-The Company accounts for Common Stock purchase warrants in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the Black Sholes option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.

 

Stockholders Equity-Shares of Common Stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

 

Per Share Data-Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus Common Stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options, and convertible instruments.

 

Income Taxes- The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than possible enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is needed due to recent taxable net operating losses, the sale of profitable divisions and the limited taxable income in the carry back periods. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and certain tax loss carryforwards, less any valuation allowance.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions as required in that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of interest expense and other expense, respectively, in arriving at pretax income or loss. The Company does not have any interest and penalties accrued. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations for the years before 2018.

 

Business Combinations- The Company accounts for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, estimated contingent consideration payments and pre-acquisition contingencies. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:

 

future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents; and

 

discount rates utilized in valuation estimates.

 

Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimates of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets-Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material. The Company had no impairment charges.

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Values-The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument. In determining fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:

 

Level 1 – inputs include exchange quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

 

Level 2 – inputs include brokered and/or quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates.

 

Level 3 – inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significance in measuring fair value are reflected in our hierarchy assessment. The carrying amount of cash, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Because cash and cash equivalents are readily liquidated, management classifies these values as Level 1. The fair value of the derivative liabilities approximates their book value as the instruments are short-term in nature and contain market rates of interest. Because there is no ready market or observable transactions, management classifies the derivative liabilities as Level 3.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted in the Year

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) however giving the Company’s historical losses and full valuation allowance it did not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible Preferred Stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard is effective for us on January 1, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. We are currently assessing the impact the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 4 Net Loss Per Share Applicable to Common Shareholders

 

Net Loss per Share Applicable to Common Stockholders 

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly to basic loss per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Mitesco, Inc. and subsidiaries

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mitesco, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing future losses that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters:

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements, and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

 

 

We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MITESCO, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Note 1 Description of Business

 

Company Overview

 

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2012. On December 9, 2015, we restructured our operations and acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage company which sought to acquire compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of the restructuring, we completed a “spin out” of our former business line. Effective April 22, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc.

 

During 2020, our operations have focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. In March of 2020, we formed The Good Clinic LLC, a Colorado limited liability company for our clinic business. We entered into an agreement with four senior executives from Minute Clinic James Woodburn, Kevin Lee Smith, Michael Howe, and Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty (the “Sellers”) with the skills and know-how to assist the Company in the establishment of a series of clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners and telemedicine technology in States where full practice authority for Nurse Practitioners is supported. We issued 4,800 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to these individuals as compensation. We valued the 4,800 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at $71,558 or approximately $14.91 per share based upon an analysis performed by an independent valuation consultant.

 

We opened our first The Good Clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the first quarter of 2021 and have five (5) operating at the time of this filing. We have two (2) additional sites under contract with build-out underway in the Denver metropolitan areas before the end of 2022. We are making plans for up to opening up to fifty (50) new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing sites we might acquire.

 

Note 2 – Financial Condition, Going Concern and Management Plans

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $64,789, current liabilities of $3,028,640, and has incurred a loss from operations. The Company’s principal operation is the development and deployment of software and systems for the healthcare marketplace. The Company intends to a) develop and own primary care clinics operated by Nurse Practitioners, b) develop and acquire telemedical technologies, and c) evaluate other healthcare related opportunities both domestically and on an international basis. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to execute its business plan.

 

As a result of these factors, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. The Company believes that the necessary capital will be raised and has entered discussions to do so with certain individuals and companies. However, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, no formal agreement exists.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.

 

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or “PPP”, established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 18, 2020, the Company’s former President and COO completed and submitted an application on behalf of the Company to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) for a PPP loan, which was subsequently approved. On April 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of approximately $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020.

 

On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds disbursed under the Note. The Company investigated the terms of the application and discovered its former President had erroneously represented it was refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan when no such loan had been received. Bank of America requested that the Company remit the funds received back to Bank of America. The Company is currently working with Bank of America on a repayment plan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

 

During management's review of the loan application after the loan had been disbursed to the Company, it was determined that the information provided by its former President and COO in the application was not representative of the Company’s situation. After consulting with legal counsel and conferring with the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors, in executive session, voted to remove the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) from its Board of Directors, and all operating roles due to the inaccuracy of the loan application. Subsequent to that decision, the former President & COO submitted a resignation from all positions with the Company, which was accepted by the Board and management.

 

In August 2020, the former President and COO filed a complaint alleging discrimination under certain provisions of the anti-discrimination laws of that state. The Company believes that the action is without merit, and it intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company does not believe it the action will have a material impact on the Company. As of the date of this filing the Company has been advised by the convening judicial organization that it has dismissed this matter, and as such the individual who initiated this action is open to pursue litigation in other venues if they desire.

 

We have had some impact on our operations as a result of the effect of the pandemic, primarily with accessibility to staffing, consultants and in the capital markets, and we are adjusting as needed within our available resources. The Company will continue to assess the effect of the pandemic on its operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the duration and effect of possible business disruptions and the short-term effects and ultimate effectiveness of the travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing requirements and business closures in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect the Company’s business and the value of its securities.

 

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mitesco, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries Mitesco NA LLC, The Good Clinic, LLC, and Acelerar Healthcare Holdings, LTD. In addition, we anticipate that we will rely on the operating activities of certain legal entities in which we will not maintain a controlling ownership interest but over which we will have indirect influence and of which we will be considered the primary beneficiary. These entities are typically subject to nominee ownership and transfer restriction agreements that effectively transfer the majority of the economic risks and rewards of their ownership to the Company. The Company’s management, restriction and other agreements concerning such nominee-owned entities typically includes both financial terms and protective and participating rights to the entities’ operating, strategic and non-clinical governance decisions which transfer substantial powers over and economic responsibility for these entities to the Company. As such, the Company applies the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to determine when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through its voting interests, referred to as a variable interest entity should be consolidated. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.

 

Cash - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $64,789 and $83,245 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Property acquired in a business combination is recorded at estimated initial fair value. Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based upon the following life expectancy:

 

   

Years

Office equipment

   

3 to 5

Furniture & fixtures

   

3 to 7

Machinery & equipment

   

3 to 10

Leasehold improvements

   

Term of lease

 

 

Revenue Recognition – On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

 

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

determination of the transaction price;

allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

Stock-Based Compensation-We recognize the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to those other than employees are recognized pursuant to FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

 

Convertible Instruments-The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments to determine whether there are conversion features or embedded derivative instruments including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including conversion options that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue free standing warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. When convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for separately, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount. When the Company issues debt securities, which bear interest at rates that are lower than market rates, the Company recognizes a discount, which is offset against the carrying value of the debt. Such discount from the face value of the debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income. In addition, certain conversion features are recognized as beneficial conversion features to the extent the conversion price as defined in the convertible note is less than the closing stock price on the issuance of the convertible notes.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments- Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible notes are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model the Company uses for determining the fair value of its derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities.

 

 

The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the convertible notes that contain a derivative component during the year ended December 31, 2020:

 

- The stock prices of $0.0198 to $0.0425 in these periods would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility.

 

- The projected volatility curve from an annualized analysis for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company and the term remaining for each note or warrant ranged from 135.6% through 220.0% at derivative treatment, issuance, conversion, exercise, and quarters ends. The Company continues to trade with high volatility.

 

- The Holder would automatically convert the note at the maximum of 2 times the conversion price if the company was not in default.

 

- The Holder would automatically convert the note before maturity if the registration was effective and the company was not in default. The Holder would automatically convert the note early based on ownership or trading volume limitations and the Company would redeem the unconverted balances at maturity.

 

- A change of control and fundamental transaction would occur initially 0% of the time and increase monthly by 0% to a maximum of 0% – based on management being in control and no desire to sell the Company.

 

- A reset event would adjust the Notes conversion price triggered by either a capital raise; stock issuance; settlement; or conversion/exercise. The reset events are projected to occur annually starting 3 months following the date of valuation.

 

- For the variable rate Notes (30%, 39% or 45% discount), the Holder would convert with effective discount rates of 35.95% to 56.00% (based on the lookback terms).

 

- The Company would redeem the notes at maturity if the conversion value was less than the payment with penalties. For the majority of the notes during the period redemption is projected 0% of the time, increasing 0% per month to a maximum of 0%.

 

- The cash flows are discounted to net present values using risk free rates. Discount rates were based on risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term.

 

- An event of default would occur 10% of the time, increasing 0% per month to a maximum of 10%.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants-The Company accounts for Common Stock purchase warrants in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the BSM option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.

 

Stockholders Equity-Shares of Common Stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

 

Per Share Data-Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus Common Stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options, and convertible instruments.

 

Income Taxes- The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than possible enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is needed due to recent taxable net operating losses, the sale of profitable divisions and the limited taxable income in the carry back periods. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and certain tax loss carryforwards, less any valuation allowance.

 

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions as required in that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of interest expense and other expense, respectively, in arriving at pretax income or loss. The Company does not have any interest and penalties accrued. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations for the years before 2012.

 

Business Combinations- The Company accounts for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, estimated contingent consideration payments and pre-acquisition contingencies. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:

 

future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents; and

 

discount rates utilized in valuation estimates.

 

Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimates of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets-Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Values-The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument. In determining fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:

 

Level 1 – inputs include exchange quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

 

Level 2 – inputs include brokered and/or quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates.

 

Level 3 – inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significance in measuring fair value are reflected in our hierarchy assessment. The carrying amount of cash, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Because cash and cash equivalents are readily liquidated, management classifies these values as Level 1. The fair value of the derivative liabilities approximates their book value as the instruments are short-term in nature and contain market rates of interest. Because there is no ready market or observable transactions, management classifies the derivative liabilities as Level 3.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Accounting for Leases. This update requires that lessees recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that are measured at the present value of the future lease payments at lease commencement date. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will largely remain unchanged and shall continue to depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. We have performed a comprehensive review in order to determine what changes were required to support the adoption of this new standard. We adopted the ASU and related amendments on January 1, 2019. We elected the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and will not restate prior periods. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a right-to-use asset and an operating lease liability in the amount of $328,500. This pronouncement is not expected to have an ongoing material effect on our financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, current U.S. GAAP requires the performance of procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, the amendments under this ASU require the goodwill impairment test to be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We implemented this ASU on January 1, 2020, and the implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible Preferred Stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard is effective for us on January 1, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. We are currently assessing the impact the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 4 Net Loss Per Share Applicable to Common Shareholders

 

Net Loss per Share Applicable to Common Stockholders

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly to basic loss per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock.

 

 

The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

August 2014 Series C Convertible Debenture

 

As part of the restructuring, all debentures issued by Trunity Holdings, Inc., to fund the former, educational business, were eligible to participate in a debt conversion; however, one debenture holder that was issued a Series C Convertible Debenture (the “Series C Debenture”) in August 2014 with an aggregate face value of $100,000 in exchange for the cancellation of Series B Convertible Debentures with a carrying value of $110,833 did not convert such debenture. The Series C Convertible Debenture accrues interest at an annual rate of 10%, matured November 2015, and is convertible into our Common Stock at a conversion rate of $20.20 per share.

The former educational business allocated the face value of the Series C Debenture to the warrants and the debentures based on its relative fair values, and allocated to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount against the Series C Debenture, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. The discount was fully expensed upon execution of the new debentures as debt extinguishment costs within discontinued operations. The Series C Debenture is currently in default.

March 2016 Convertible Note A

 

On March 18, 2016, the Company issued a 12% Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note A”) in the principal amount of $60,000 to a lender. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note A, the Company is obligated to pay monthly installments of not less than $1,000 the first of each month commencing the month following the execution of the Convertible Note A until its maturity on September 16, 2016 at which time the Company was obligated to repay the full principal amount of the Convertible Note A. The Convertible Note A is convertible by the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at price of $1.00 per share, and throughout the duration of the note, the holder has the right to participate in any financing the Company may engage in upon the same terms and conditions as all other investors. The Company allocated the face value of the Convertible Note A to the shares and the note based on relative fair values, and the amount allocated to the shares of $18,750 was recorded as a discount against the note. The beneficial conversion feature of $9,375 was recorded as a debt discount with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital decreasing the note payable and increasing debt discount. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Upon issuance of the Convertible Note A, the lender was awarded 15,000 restricted Common Stock as an origination fee which includes piggy-back registration rights. On September 19, 2016, the Company issued the lender an additional 15,000 restricted Common Stock at a price of $0.30 per share to extend the term of the loan agreement indefinitely. The cost to the Company was $4,050 in interest expense. On August 10, 2017, the Company issued 25,000 shares of Common Stock with a fair value of $3,750 for accrued interest through August 1, 2017 in the amount of $7,860. In April 2018, the Company issued 75,000 shares of Common Stock with a value of $7,500 as consideration for an extension of the term of the loan to July 1, 2018, and on August 13, 2018, the Company issued an additional 75,000 shares of Common Stock with a value of $6,750 for an extension of the term of the loan to October 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the lender converted principal in the amount of $15,000 into 120,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company recorded a loss in the amount of $13,867 on this conversion. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company made a principal payment in the amount of $4,000 on this note. Details of activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 are presented in Notes Payable Table 1, below.

 

Power Up Note 11

 

This obligation has been fully satisfied as of the date of this filing and the Company has no further requirements related to this matter.

 

On September 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Power Up pursuant to which Power Up agreed to purchase a convertible promissory note (the “Power Up Note 11”) in the aggregate principal amount of $45,000. The Power Up Note 11 entitled the holder to 12% interest per annum and matures on July 15, 2020.

Note 9 Derivative Liabilities

 

Certain of the Company’s convertible notes and warrants contain features that create derivative liabilities. The pricing model the Company uses for determining fair value of its derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income. The derivative components of these notes are valued at issuance, at conversion, at restructure, and at each period end.

Note 11 Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences primarily attributable to amortization of intangible assets and debt discount and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,860,000, which will expire through 2040. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership, the Company’s future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 consist of the following:

The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21.0% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 to the loss before taxes as a result of the following differences:

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations.

 

Deferred income taxes include the net tax effects of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019 significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

Other

 

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or "PPP", established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 18, 2020, the Company’s former President and COO completed and submitted an application on behalf of the Company to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) for a PPP loan, which was subsequently approved. On April 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020.

 

On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds disbursed under the Note. The Company investigated the terms of the application and discovered its former President had erroneously represented it was refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan when no such loan had been received. Bank of America has requested that the Company remit the funds received back to Bank of America. The Company is attempting to negotiate a payment plan with Bank of America. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

During management's review of the Company’s PPP loan application after the loan had been disbursed to the Company, it was determined that the information provided by Ms. Julie R. Smith, the Company’s former President and COO, was not accurate. After consulting with legal counsel, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) voted to remove Ms. Smith from its Board of Directors, and all other capacities due to the misstatements she made in the loan application. Subsequent to that decision, effective July 1, 2020, Ms. Smith submitted a resignation from all positions with the Company, which was accepted by the Board and management. Ms. Smith subsequently retained counsel and has indicated her intent to file an administrative charge of discrimination in Colorado under certain provisions of the anti-discrimination laws of that state. The Company has subsequently entered in a confidential settlement with Ms. Smith resolving all outstanding matters.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers, or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

 

(i)

to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securitas Act”);

 

 

(ii)

to reflect in the prospectus any acts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement (notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement); and

     
 

(iii)

to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a first-time registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

 

(3)

To remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     
 

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

 

 

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);

     
 

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

     
 

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

     
 

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

 

(5)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

     
 

(6)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     
 

(7)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

 

(i)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

 

(ii)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a first-time registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

EIGHT: The total number of shares of stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 250,000,000 shares, divided into two classes of stock designated respectively “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock”, both of which shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share.  The number of shares of Common Stock which this corporation shall have authority to issue is 200,000,000 shares. The number of shares of Preferred Stock which this corporation shall have authority to issue is 50,000,000 shares.

 

The Board of Directors of this corporation is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law and the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon including, but not limited to, the determination of dividend, voting, liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, preferences and limitations and any other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights.

2

 

 

(B) Indemnification.

 

1.           Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but in the case of any such amendment only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities, and loss including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

2.           Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but in the case of any such amendment only to be the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and loss including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification pursuant to this Section (B) 2 may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

3

 

 

The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 10 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation any expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the General Corporation Law of Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of any undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. The corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

 

If a claim under Section (B) 1 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within 45 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its Stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its Stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of  the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, agreement(s), vote of Stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any such expense, liability, or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

ELEVEN: At any regularly scheduled meeting of Stockholders, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been brought before the meeting (a) by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors, or (b) by any Stockholder of the corporation who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Article 11.  For a proposal to be properly brought before a meeting by a Stockholder, the Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a Stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive office of the corporation no less than 60 days prior to the scheduled meeting, regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of that meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or made, notice by the Stockholder, to be timely, must be so delivered or received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which such notice of the date of the scheduled meeting was mailed or the day on which such public disclosure was made. A Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the Stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting: (a) a brief description of the proposal desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the Stockholder proposing such business and any other Stockholder known by such Stockholder to be supporting such proposal; (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation’s stock which are beneficially owned by the Stockholder on the date of such Stockholder’s notice and by any other Stockholders known by such Stockholder to be supporting such proposal on the date of such Stockholder notice; and (d) any financial interest of the Stockholder making the proposal or any other Stockholder known by such Stockholder to be supporting the proposal.

 

The presiding officer of the meeting shall determine and declare at or before the meeting whether the Stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the terms of this Article 9.  If the presiding officer determines that a Stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this Article 9, he or she shall so declare at the meeting and any such proposal shall not be acted upon at the meeting.

 

This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the meeting of reports of officers, directors, and committees of the Board, but, in connection with such reports, no new business shall be acted upon at such meeting unless stated, filed, and received as herein provided.

 

5

 

 

TWELVE: No stockholder shall be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or receive additional shares of any class of stock, whether now or hereafter authorized, or any bonds, debentures, or securities convertible into stock. Any such issuance of stock or securities convertible into stock shall be as directed by the Board of Directors, upon such terms as in its discretion it shall deem advisable.

 

THIRTEEN: This Corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend, modify or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware. All rights, preferences and privileges of any nature whatsoever conferred upon stockholders, directors, or any other persons whom so ever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the rights reserved in this article.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of January, 2012.

3. Ranking. The Series X Preferred Stock will rank, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, (i) senior to all classes or series of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common

Stock”), and to all other equity securities issued by the Corporation other than equity securities referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3; (ii) on parity with all equity securities issued by the Corporation with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank on parity with the Series X Preferred Stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; (iii) junior to all equity securities issued by the Corporation with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank senior to the Series X Preferred Stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; and (iv) effectively junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including indebtedness convertible into our Common Stock or Preferred Stock) of the Corporation and to any indebtedness and other liabilities of (as well as any preferred equity interest held by others in) existing subsidiaries of the Corporation. The term “equity securities” shall not include convertible debt securities.

 

4. Dividends.

 

(a) Holders of shares of the Series X Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, or at its option through the issuance of restricted common stock (whose closing price per share on the Business Day of the authorization for payment shall determine the number of shares to be issued in consideration of the dividend payment), cumulative cash, or common stock based, dividends at the rate of 10% on $25.00 per share of the Series X Preferred Stock per annum (equivalent to $2.50 per annum per share). Commencing on the date of issuance of Series X Preferred Stock (as applicable, the “Issue Date”), dividends shall accrue on the Series X Preferred Stock daily and shall be cumulative from, and including, the applicable Issue Date, and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”) to the holders of record of the Series X Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the last day of the preceding month, whether or not a Business Day (each, a “Dividend Record Date”); provided, that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on that Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accumulate on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. Dividends payable on the Series X Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, provided that for partial dividend periods, dividend payments will be pro-rated, unless otherwise provided in the applicable securities offering and sale documents. The dividends payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall include dividends accumulated to, but not including such Dividend Payment Date.

(b) No dividends on shares of Series X Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors, or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at any time when the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to any indebtedness of the Corporation, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

 

2

 

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, dividends on the Series X Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not the Corporation has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series X Preferred Stock which may be in arrears, and holders of the Series X Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends described in Section 4(a). Any dividend payment made on the Series X Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to the Series X Preferred Stock.

 

(d) Except as provided in Section 4(e), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series X Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, (i) no dividends (other than in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to the Series X Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series X Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, (ii) no other distribution shall be declared or made upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series X Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, and (iii) any shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with the Series X Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, shall not be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue ranking junior to the Series X Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up).

 

(e) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series X Preferred Stock and upon the shares of any other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series X Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series X Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking on parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series X Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series X Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series X Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series X Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

5. Liquidation Preference.

 

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series X Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets the Corporation has legally available for distribution to its shareholders, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation it may issue ranking senior to the Series X Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidation preference of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue that ranks junior to the Series X Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights. The liquidation preference shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock combination or similar event so that the aggregate liquidation preference allocable to all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event is the same immediately after giving effect to such event.

 

(b) In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue ranking on a parity with the Series X Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series X Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

(c) Holders of Series X Preferred Stock will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up no fewer than 30 days and no more than 60 days prior to the payment date. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series X Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust, or entity or of any other entity with or into the Corporation, or the sale, lease, transfer, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business the Corporation, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

If the Corporation elects to redeem any shares of Series X Preferred Stock as described in this Section 6(b), it may use any available cash, or it’s restricted common stock to pay the redemption price

 

(c) Special Optional Redemption Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6(a), upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series X Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at a redemption price of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Corporation elects to redeem any shares of Series X Preferred Stock as described in this Section 6(c), it may use any available cash to pay the redemption price, and it will not be required to pay the redemption price only out of the proceeds from the issuance of other equity securities or any other specific source.

 

(d) A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when, after December 31, 2019, the following have occurred and are continuing: (i) the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) , of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of stock of the Corporation entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and (ii) following the closing of any transaction referred to in clause (i).

 

(e) In the event the Corporation elects to redeem Series X Preferred Stock, the notice of redemption will be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to each holder of record of Series X Preferred Stock called for redemption at such holder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series X Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates (if any) for the Series X Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date; (vi) whether such redemption is being made pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c); and (vii) if applicable, that such redemption is being made in connection with a Change of Control and, in that case, a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control. If less than all of the shares of Series X Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series X Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series X Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

(f) Holders of Series X Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the Series X Preferred Stock at the place designated in the notice of redemption and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends payable upon the redemption following the surrender.

 

(g) If notice of redemption of any shares of Series X Preferred Stock has been given and if the Corporation irrevocably sets aside the funds necessary for redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series X Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless the Corporation shall default in providing for the payment of the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any), dividends will cease to accumulate on those shares of Series X Preferred Stock, those shares of Series X Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption.

 

(h) If any redemption date is not a Business Day, then the redemption price and accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption may be paid on the next Business Day and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after that redemption date to that next Business Day.

 

(i) If less than all of the outstanding Series X Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the Series X Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method the Corporation shall determine.

 

(j) In connection with any redemption of Series X Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in cash or through the issuance of its restricted common stock, any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case each holder of Series X Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided in this Section 6(j), the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on shares of the Series X Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

 

(k) Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series X Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series X Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series X Preferred Stock (except by exchanging it for its capital stock ranking junior to the Series X Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition by the Corporation of shares of Series X Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock.

 

6

 

 

(l) Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may purchase shares of Series X Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any shares of Series X Preferred Stock that the Corporation acquires may be retired and re-classified as authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to class or series, and may thereafter be reissued as any class or series of Preferred Stock.

 

7. No Conversion Rights. The shares of Series X Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation.

 

8. Voting Rights.

 

(a) Holders of the Series X Preferred Stock will have “super” voting rights such that on each matter on which holders of the Company’s stock are entitled to vote, each share of Series X Preferred Stock will be entitled to twenty thousand (20,000) votes, subject to any adjustment for stock splits or dividends subsequent to issuance, except that when shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock the Corporation may issue have the right to vote with the Series X Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, the Series X Preferred Stock and the shares of each such other class or series will have twenty thousand (20,000) votes for each $25.00 of liquidation preference (excluding accumulated dividends).

 

(b) The voting rights provided for in this Section 8 will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which voting by holders of the Series X Preferred Stock would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 8 shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption pursuant to Section 6.

 

(c) Except as expressly stated in this Section 8 or as may be required by applicable law, the Series X Preferred Stock will not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.

 

9. Information Rights. During any period in which the Corporation is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series X Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will use its best efforts to (i) transmit by mail (or other permissible means under the Exchange Act) to all holders of Series X Preferred Stock, as their names and addresses appear on the record books of the Corporation and without cost to such holders, copies of the annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that the Corporation would have been required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required); and (ii) promptly, upon request, supply copies of such reports to any holders or prospective holder of Series X Preferred Stock. The Corporation will use its best efforts to mail (or otherwise provide) the information to the holders of the Series X Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, in respect of such information would have been required to be filed with the SEC, if the

 

7

 

 

Corporation were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in each case, based on the dates on which the Corporation would be required to file such periodic reports if it were a “non-accelerated filer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act.

 

10. No Preemptive Rights. No holders of the Series X Preferred Stock will, as holders of Series X Preferred Stock, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation.

 

11. Record Holders. The Corporation and the transfer agent for the Series X Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any Series X Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

12. Potential Exchange for Other Registered Securities. The holders of these securities shall have the right to exchange their securities for any other class of securities that is being registered on a dollar-for-dollar basis including any accrued but unpaid dividends. This right shall mean that the securities being exchanged shall be included with the registration statement for the new securities. All rights associated with this security shall be extinguished at time of the exchange and the owner shall inherit any rights associated with the securities for which the Series X Preferred Stock have been exchanged.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations to be signed in its name and on its behalf on this 31st day of December, 2019.

The dividends payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall include dividends accumulated to, but not including such Dividend Payment Date. (The Company reserves the right to pay dividends in Company common stock at per share based on the average closing price over the five (5) days prior to the date of the dividend declaration.)

 

b.     No dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors, or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at any time when the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to any indebtedness of the Corporation, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

c.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not the Corporation has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock which may be in arrears, and holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends described in Section 4(a). Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

d.     Except as provided in Section 4(e), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, (i) no dividends (other than in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, (ii) no other distribution shall be declared or made upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, and (iii) any shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, shall not be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up).

 

e.     When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series A Preferred Stock and upon the shares of any other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series A Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking on parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

 

f.     ”Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law, regulation, or executive order to close.

5.     Liquidation Preference.

 

a.     In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets the Corporation has legally available for distribution to its shareholders, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation it may issue ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidation preference of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights. The liquidation preference shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock combination or similar event so that the aggregate liquidation preference allocable to all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event is the same immediately after giving effect to such event.

 

b.     In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

c.     Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up no fewer than 30 days and no more than 60 days prior to the payment date. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust, or entity or of any other entity with or into the Corporation, or the sale, lease, transfer, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business the Corporation, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

 

6.     Redemption.

 

a.     The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to March 3, 2023 except as described in this Section 6.

 

b.     Optional Redemption Right. On and after March 3, 2023 the Corporation may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. If the Corporation elects to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as described in this Section 6(b), it may use any available cash, or it’s restricted common stock to pay the redemption price, and it will not be required to pay the redemption price only out of the proceeds from the issuance of other equity securities or any other specific source.

 

4

 

 

c.     Special Optional Redemption Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6(a), upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at a redemption price of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Corporation elects to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as described in this Section 6(c), it may use any available cash to pay the redemption price, and it will not be required to pay the redemption price only out of the proceeds from the issuance of other equity securities or any other specific source.

 

d.     A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when, after [December 31, 2019], the following have occurred and are continuing: (i) the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) , of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of stock of the Corporation entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and (ii) following the closing of any transaction referred to in clause (i), neither the Corporation nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or American Depositary Receipts representing such securities) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE), the NYSE MKT LLC (the NYSE MKT) or the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq), or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE MKT or Nasdaq.

 

e.     In the event the Corporation elects to redeem Series A Preferred Stock, the notice of redemption will be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption at such holder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates (if any) for the Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date; (vi) whether such redemption is being made pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c); and (vii) if applicable, that such redemption is being made in connection with a Change of Control and, in that case, a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control. If less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

 

f.     Holders of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the Series A Preferred Stock at the place designated in the notice of redemption and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends payable upon the redemption following the surrender.

 

g.     If notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been given and if the Corporation irrevocably sets aside the funds necessary for redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless the Corporation shall default in providing for the payment of the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any), dividends will cease to accumulate on those shares of Series A Preferred Stock, those shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption.

 

5

 

h.     If any redemption date is not a Business Day, then the redemption price and accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption may be paid on the next Business Day and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after that redemption date to that next Business Day.

 

i.     If less than all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method the Corporation shall determine.

 

j.     In connection with any redemption of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in cash or through the issuance of its restricted common stock, any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided in this Section 6(j), the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

 

k.     Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except by exchanging it for its capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition by the Corporation of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

l.     Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that the Corporation acquires may be retired and re-classified as authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to class or series, and may thereafter be reissued as any class or series of Preferred Stock.

 

7.     No Conversion Rights. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation.

 

6

 

 

8.     Voting Rights.

 

a.     Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth in this Section 8 or as otherwise required by law. On each matter on which holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote, except that when shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock the Corporation may issue have the right to vote with the Series A Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, the Series A Preferred Stock and the shares of each such other class or series will have one vote for each $25.00 of liquidation preference (excluding accumulated dividends).

 

b.     So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting together as a class with all other series of parity Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassify any of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation into such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares; or (ii) amend, alter, repeal or replace the Certificate of Incorporation, including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise in which the Corporation may or may not be the surviving entity, so as to materially and adversely affect and deprive holders of Series A Preferred Stock of any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock (each, an “Event”). An increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, or the creation or issuance of any additional Series A Preferred Stock or other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.

 

c.     Notwithstanding Section 8(b)(ii) above, if any Event set forth in Section 8(b)(ii) above materially and adversely affects any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock but not all series of parity Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and all such other similarly affected series, outstanding at the time (voting together as a class), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, shall be required in lieu of the vote or consent that would otherwise be required by Section 8(b)(ii).

 

7

 

d.     The voting rights provided for in this Section 8 will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which voting by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 8 shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption pursuant to Section 6.

 

e.     Except as expressly stated in this Section 8 or as may be required by applicable law, the Series A Preferred Stock will not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.

 

9.     Information Rights. During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will use its best efforts to (i) transmit by mail (or other permissible means under the Exchange Act) to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, as their names and addresses appear on the record books of the Corporation and without cost to such holders, copies of the annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that the Corporation would have been required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required); and (ii) promptly, upon request, supply copies of such reports to any holders or prospective holder of Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation will use its best efforts to mail (or otherwise provide) the information to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, in respect of such information would have been required to be filed with the SEC, if the Corporation were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in each case, based on the dates on which the Corporation would be required to file such periodic reports if it were a “non-accelerated filer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act.

 

10.     No Preemptive Rights. No holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will, as holders of Series A Preferred Stock, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation.

 

11.     Record Holders. The Corporation and the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any Series A Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations to be signed in its name and on its behalf on this 13th day of March, 2020.

(a)    Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, The Company reserves the right to pay dividends at $2.50 per share, in either cash or through the issuance of restricted common stock, whose average closing price per share over the five (5) trading days prior to the date of the authorization for payment shall determine price used in computing the number of shares to be issued in consideration of the dividend payment, cumulative cash, or restricted common stock based, dividends at the rate of 10% on $25.00 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock per annum (equivalent to $2.50 per annum per share). The authorization date shall be the last business day prior to the end of each month. Commencing on the date of issuance of Series A Preferred Stock (as applicable, the “Issue Date”), dividends shall accrue on the Series A Preferred Stock daily and shall be cumulative from, and including, the applicable Issue Date, and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month (each, a “Dividend Payment Date'') to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the last day of the preceding month, whether or not a Business Day (each, a “Dividend Record Date”); provided, that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on that Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accumulate on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. Dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, provided that for partial dividend periods, dividend payments will be pro-rated, unless otherwise provided in the applicable securities offering and sale documents. The dividends payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall include dividends accumulated to, but not including such Dividend Payment Date.

 

(b)    No dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors, or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at any time when the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to any indebtedness of the Corporation, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not the Corporation has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock which may be in arrears, and holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends described in Section 4(a). Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(d)    Except as provided in Section 4(e), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, (i) no dividends (other than in shares of restricted Common Stock or in shares of any series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, (ii) no other distribution shall be declared or made upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, and (iii) any shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue

No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

The liquidation preference shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock combination or similar event so that the aggregate liquidation preference allocable to all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event is the same immediately after giving effect to such event.

 

(b)    In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

(c)    Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up no fewer than 15 days and no more than 60 days prior to the payment date. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust, or entity or of any other entity with or into the Corporation, or the sale, lease, transfer, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business the Corporation, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(1)    Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement.

An increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, orthe creation or issuance of any additional Series A Preferred Stock or other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.

 

(c)    Notwithstanding Section 8(b)(ii) above, if any Event set forth in Section 8(b)(ii) above materially and adversely affects any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock but not all series of parity Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and all such other similarly affected series, outstanding at the time (voting together as a class), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, shall be required in lieu of the vote or consent that would otherwise be required by Section 8(b)(ii).

 

(d)    The voting rights provided for in this Section 8 will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which voting by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 8 shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption pursuant to Section 6.

 

(e)    Except as expressly stated in this Section 8 or as may be required by applicable law, the Series A Preferred Stock will not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.

The Corporation will use its best efforts to mail (or otherwise provide) the information to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, in respect of such information would have been required to be filed with the SEC, if the Corporation were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in each case, based on the dates on which the Corporation would be required to file such periodic reports if it were a “non-accelerated filer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act.

 

10.    No Preemptive Rights. No holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will, as holders of Series A Preferred Stock, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation.

The dividends payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall include dividends accumulated to, but not including such Dividend Payment Date.

 

(b)    No dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors, or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at any time when the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to any indebtedness of the Corporation, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not the Corporation has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Stock which may be in arrears, and holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends described in Section 4(a) hereof. Any dividend payment made on the Series B Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(d)    Except as provided in Section 4(e), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, (i) no dividends (other than in shares of restricted Common Stock or in shares of any series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, (ii) no other distribution shall be declared or made upon shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, and (iii) any shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, shall not be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up).

20

 

 

respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

The liquidation preference shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock combination or similar event so that the aggregate liquidation preference allocable to all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event is the same immediately after giving effect to such event.

 

(b)    In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation that it may issue ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

(c)    Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up no fewer than 15 days and no more than 60 days prior to the payment date.

(d)    A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when, after December 31, 2020, the following have occurred and are continuing: (i) the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” wider Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of stock of the Corporation entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and (ii) following the closing of any transaction referred to in clause (i).

 

(e)    In the event the Corporation elects to redeem Series B Preferred Stock, the notice of redemption will be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption at such holder's address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates (if any) for the Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date; (vi) whether such redemption is being made pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c); and (vii) if applicable, that such redemption is being made in connection with a Change of Control and, in that case, a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control. If less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

 

(f)    Holders of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the Series B Preferred Stock at the place designated in the notice of redemption and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accumulated and wipaid dividends payable upon the redemption following the surrender.

 

(g)    If notice of redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock has been given and if the Corporation irrevocably sets aside the funds necessary for redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless the Corporation shall default in providing for the payment of the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any), dividends will cease to accumulate on those shares of Series B Preferred Stock, those shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption.

 

(h)    If any redemption date is not a Business Day, then the redemption price and accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption may be paid on the next Business Day and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after that redemption date to that next Business Day.

 

(i)    If less than all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method the Corporation shall determine.

 

G) In connection with any redemption of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in cash or through the issuance of its restricted common stock, any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend

 

22

 

 

Payment Date, in which case each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided in this Section 6(j), the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether in arrears, on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

 

(k)    Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series B Preferred Stock (except by exchanging it for its capital stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition by the Corporation of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(l)    Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that the Corporation acquires may be retired and re-classified as authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to class or series, and may thereafter be reissued as any class or series of Preferred Stock.

 

7.    No Conversion Rights. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation.

 

8. Voting Rights.

 

(a)    Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth in this Section 8 or as otherwise required by law. On each matter on which holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, each one (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote, except that when shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock the Corporation may issue have the right to vote with the Series B Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, the Series B Preferred Stock and the shares of each such other class or series will have one (1) vote for each $25.00 of liquidation preference (excluding accumulated dividends).

 

(b)    So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting together as a class with all other series of parity Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassify any of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation into such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares; or (ii) amend, alter, repeal or replace the Certificate of Incorporation, including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise in which the Corporation may or may not be the surviving entity, so as to materially and adversely affect and deprive holders of Series B Preferred Stock of any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock (each, an “Event''). An increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including the Series B Preferred Stock, or the creation or issuance of any additional Series B Preferred Stock or other series of Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.

 

(c)    Notwithstanding Section 8(b)(ii) above, if any Event set forth in Section 8(b)(ii) above materially and adversely affects any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock but not all series of parity Preferred Stock that the Corporation may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Series B Preferred

 

23

 

 

Stock and all such other similarly affected series, outstanding at the time (voting together as a class), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, shall be required in lieu of the vote or consent that would otherwise be required by Section 8(b)(ii).

 

(d)    The voting rights provided for in this Section 8 will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which voting by holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 8 shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption pursuant to Section 6.

 

(e)    Except as expressly stated in this Section 8 or as may be required by applicable law, the Series B Preferred Stock will not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.

 

9.    Information Rights. During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will use its best efforts to transmit by mail (or other permissible means under the Exchange Act) to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock, as their names and addresses appear on the record books of the Corporation and without cost to such holders, copies of the annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that the Corporation would have been required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required); and (ii) promptly, upon request, supply copies of such reports to any holders or prospective holder of Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation will use its best efforts to mail (or otherwise provide) the information to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, in respect of such information would have been required to be filed with the SEC, if the Corporation were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in each case, based on the dates on which the Corporation would be required to file such periodic reports if it were a “non-accelerated filer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act.

 

10.    No Preemptive Rights. No holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will, as holders of Series B Preferred Stock, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation.

 

11.    Record Holders. The Corporation and the transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any Series B Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Designations to be signed in its name and on its behalf on this 10th day of November 2020.

The Corporation shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share or pay to the Holder a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price. The Corporation shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such conversion shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series C and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such conversion shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

(b)    Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any share of Series C pursuant to Section 5(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such share of Series C by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”);

 

(i)     ”Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each share of Series C, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (1) the Stated Value thereof plus (2) the Additional Amount thereon.

 

(ii)    ”Conversion Price” means, with respect to each share of Series C, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $0.25.

 

(c)    Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each share of Series C shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)    (1) Optional Conversion. To convert a share of Series C into shares of Common Stock on any date after the Initial Issuance Date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver, via electronic mail or otherwise, for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Series C subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Corporation. If required by Section 5(c)(iii), within three Trading Days following a conversion of any such Series C as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Corporation the original certificates representing the Series C (the “Series C Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Series C in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 16). On or before the first Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Corporation’s Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion

 

30

 

 

Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule, or regulation, including the rules of the Principal Market or other customary applicable policy for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Corporation shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Corporation’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Series C represented by the Series C Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) is greater than the number of Series C being converted, then the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than two Trading Days after receipt of the Series C Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Series C Certificate (in accordance with Section 16(d)) representing the number of Series C not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series C shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

(2)         Automatic Conversion. Upon (i) the request of the Corporation’s underwriters that the Series C convert to shares of Common Stock or (ii) a listing of the Corporation’s Common Stock on a national securities exchange, the Series C shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the Holder and the Holders shall have no further rights as a Holder. The effective date of the conversion shall be the date requested by the underwriters or first trading date of the shares of Common Stock on a national securities exchange, as applicable.

 

(ii)    Corporations Failure to Timely Convert. If the Corporation shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, to issue to such Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s share register or to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, (X) the Corporation shall pay in cash to such Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Deadline and during such Conversion Failure an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which such Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) the closing price of the Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, and (Y) such Holder, upon written notice to the Corporation, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, all, or any portion, of such Series C that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Corporation’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Corporation shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast

 

31

 

 

Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Corporation’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such conversion that such Holder so is entitled to receive from the Corporation, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Corporation shall, within two)Trading Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Corporation’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii).

 

(iii)    Registration; Book-Entry. The Corporation shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each share of Series C and the Stated Value of the Series C (the “Registered Series C”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Corporation and each Holder of the Series C shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a share of Series C for all purposes (including the right to receive payments and dividends hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A registered share of Series C may be assigned, transferred, or sold only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Series C by such Holder thereof, the Corporation shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new shares of Series C in the same aggregate Stated Value as the Stated Value of the surrendered Series C to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 17, provided that if the Corporation does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of such Series C shares within two Trading Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, following conversion of any Series C in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Holder shall not be required to physically surrender such Series C to the Corporation unless (A) the full or remaining number of Series C shares represented by the applicable Series C Certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Corporation as contemplated by this Section 5(c)(iii)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Series C upon physical surrender of the applicable Series C Certificate. Each Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the

 

32

 

 

Stated Value and dividends converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Corporation, so as not to require physical surrender of a Series C Certificate upon conversion. If the Corporation does not update the Register to record such Stated Value and dividends converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two Trading Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number of Series C to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series C, the number of Series C represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Series C stated on the face thereof. Each Series C Certificate shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF

 

(iv)    Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Corporation receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Corporation can convert some, but not all, of such Series C submitted for conversion, the Corporation shall convert from each Holder electing to have Series C converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Series C submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Series C submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Series C submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Series C, the Corporation shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 22.

 

(d)    Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Corporation shall not affect the conversion of any of the Series C held by a Holder, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any of the Series C held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (which provision may be increased to a maximum of 9.99% by such Holder by written notice from such Holder to the Corporation, which notice shall be effective 61 calendar days after the date of such notice). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted

 

33

 

 

Series C beneficially owned by such Holder and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any Convertible Securities and Options) beneficially owned by such Holder subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 5(d). For purposes of this Section 5(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Series C without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (z) any other written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). Notwithstanding the preceding, the Holder may rely on the Transfer Agent’s records if the Reported Outstanding Share Number is different than what the Corporation reports. If the Corporation receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Corporation shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 5(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Corporation of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including such Series C, by such Holder since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Series C results in such Holder being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert such Series C pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 5(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The provisions of this Section 5(d) shall be of no further force or effect if the Holder participates in a subsequent transaction with the Corporation which results in the Holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding which shall include securities convertible into Common Stock which do not contain a beneficial ownership limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Conversion Notice that such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 5(d) and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. The limitations contained in this Section 5(d) shall apply to a successor holder of Series C.

 

34

 

 

(e)    Triggering Event Conversion. Subject to Section 5(d), at any time during the period commencing on the date of the occurrence of a Triggering Event and ending on the date of the cure of such Triggering Event, a Holder may, at such Holder’s option, by delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Corporation to convert all, or any number of Series C into shares of Common Stock at the Triggering Event Conversion Price. “Triggering Event Conversion Price” means, the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 75% of the average VWAP for the five Trading Days prior to date of the Conversion Notice.

7.    Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.

 

(a)    Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 and 9 below, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Series C (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series C) held by such Holder immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage), at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.

 

(b)    Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Corporation shall make appropriate provision to insure that each Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of all the Series C held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series C contained in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Series C held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. The provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder.

 

37

 

 

The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series C contained in this Certificate of Designations. “Fundamental Transaction” means the occurrence of the Corporation (i) directly or indirectly, including through subsidiaries, Affiliates or otherwise, in one or more related transactions, (A) consolidating or merging with or into (if the Corporation is the surviving corporation) another Person, (B) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Corporation or any of its “significant subsidiaries” (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) to one or more Persons, (C) making, or allowing one or more Persons to make, or allowing the Corporation to be subject to or have its Common Stock be subject to or party to one or more Persons making, a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of at least either (x) 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (y) 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated as if any shares of Common Stock held by all Persons making or party to, or affiliated with any Persons making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer were not outstanding; or (z) such number of shares of Common Stock such that all Persons making or party to, or affiliated with any Person making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer, become collectively the beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (D) consummating a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more Persons whereby all such Persons, individually or in the aggregate, acquire, either (x) at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (y) at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated as if any shares of Common Stock held by all the Persons making or party to, or affiliated with any Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination were not outstanding; or (z) such number of shares of Common Stock such that the Persons become collectively the beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (E) reorganize, recapitalize or reclassify its Common Stock other than a stock split.

 

8.    Price Protection. Except for any Exempt Issuance (as hereinafter defined), in the event the Corporation issues or sells any securities including Options or Convertible Securities (or amends any outstanding securities of the Company), at an effective price of, or with an exercise or conversion price of less than the Conversion Price, then upon such issuance or sale, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the sale price or the exercise or conversion price of the securities issued or sold. “Exempt Issuance” shall mean any sale or issuance by the Corporation of its Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity (or any division or business unit thereof); (ii) the Corporations issuance of securities in connection with strategic supply, sale or license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital; (iii) the Corporation’s issuance of Common stock, restricted stock units or the issuances or grants of Options to purchase Common Stock to employees, officers or directors, under an equity incentive plan adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (limited to 28,498,275 shares which is 15% of currently outstanding Common Stock); (iv) securities issued upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Convertible Securities or other securities issued and outstanding on the date of the issuance of Series C to securities holders of the Corporation in exchange for other securities existing as of the date this Certificate of Designations is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and securities issued upon exercise or conversion of the Series C or warrants issued with the Series C; (v) the conversion or exercise of any Company securities which are outstanding (and have not been amended after) on the date of this Certificate of Designation; or (vi) the issuance of securities by the Corporation in a public offering. In case any shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options are issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, each share of Common Stock

 

38

 

 

underlying any such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be one additional share of Common Stock for the purposes of determining the effective price of the non-Exempt Issuance.

 

9.    Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by any reverse split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 9 occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

10.    Participation in Future Financing.

 

(a)    Until the 15 month anniversary of the issuance of the Series C to the Holder, upon any issuance by the Corporation of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration or a combination of units hereof in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Holders of the outstanding Series C shall have the right to participate in an amount equal to an aggregate of 30% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. At least twenty four hours prior to the expected announcement or closing of the Subsequent Financing (whichever is first), the Corporation shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the person or persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). If the Holder desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing it must provide written notice to the Company within twelve hours of the time the Subsequent Financing Notice is delivered to such Holder (the “Notice Termination Time”) that such Holder is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Holder’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Holder has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice, holds a number of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement equal to or greater than the number proposed to be purchased in the Subsequent Financing, and will not as a result of such purchase beneficially own more than 9.99% of shares of Common Stock, either individually or as part of a Group as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Company receives no such notice from a Holder as of such Notice Termination Time, such Holder shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent Financing.

 

(b)    If by the Notice Termination time, the Corporation receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Holders seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Holder shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the amount of Series C issued on the Initial Issuance Date to the Holder participating under this Section 10 and (y) the sum of the aggregate amount of Series C issued on the Initial Issuance Date to all Holders participating under this Section 10.

 

39

 

 

(c)    The Corporation must provide the Holders with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Holders will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 9, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

(d)    The Corporation and each Holder agree that if any Holder elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the securities held by it or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Holder.

 

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Holder, the Corporation shall either confirm in writing to such Holder that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Holder will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the 10th Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such 10th Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Holder, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Holder shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance or a public offering.

 

11.    Non-circumvention. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of any Series C above the Conversion Price then in effect, (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Series C and (c) shall, so long as any Series C are outstanding, and upon the filing of an amendment to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C, two (2) times the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Series C then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein).

 

12.    Authorized Shares.

 

(a)    Reservation. So long as any Series C remain outstanding, the Corporation shall at all times reserve at least two times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to

 

40

 

 

time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Series C then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of the Series C held by each Holder (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Series C, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. If the Required Reserve Amount is not met at such time, any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series C shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series C, pro rata based on the number of the Series C then held by the Holders.

 

(b)    Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 12(a) and not in limitation thereof, while any of the Series C remain outstanding the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series C at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Corporation shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Corporation’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Corporation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Series C then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 120 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Corporation shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In lieu of a meeting of stockholders, the Corporation may effect such action by written consent in accordance with Section 14(c) of the 1934 Act. Except as provided in the first sentence of Section 12(a), in the event that the Corporation is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon any conversion due to the failure by the Corporation to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to such Holder, the Corporation shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock based upon the five Trading Days during the period commencing on the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Corporation and ending on the date of such issuance under this Section 12(b). Nothing contained in this Section shall limit any obligations of the Corporation under any provision of the Transaction Documents.

 

13.    Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Corporation, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior Stock, but pari passu with any Parity Stock then outstanding, an amount per share of Series C equal to the greater of (A) the Conversion Amount thereof on the date of such payment or (B) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Series C into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of Parity Stock, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation

 

41

 

 

preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Series C and all holders of shares of Parity Stock. To the extent necessary, the Corporation shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 13. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 13 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Corporation to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 13 applies.

 

14.    Distribution of Assets. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 and 9, if the Corporation shall declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (the “Distributions”), then each Holder, as holders of Series C, will be entitled to such Distributions as if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series C (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the conversion of the Series C) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for such Distributions (provided, however, that to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times, if any, such Holder shall be granted such rights (and any rights under this Section 13 on such initial rights or on any subsequent such rights to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

15.    Vote.

 

(a)    To Change the Terms of or Issue Series C. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or the written consent without a meeting, of a Majority, voting together as a single class, the Corporation shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of shares of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series C, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series C; (c) without limiting any provision of Section 2, create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has a preference over or is on a parity with the Series C with respect to dividends or the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; (d) pay dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of any capital stock of the Corporation junior in rank to the Series C; (e) issue any Series C other than as provided in Section 2; or (f) without limiting any provision of Section 8 and 9, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series C, circumvent a right of the Series C.

 

42

 

 

(b)    With Shareholders As Converted. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each Holder shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series C held by such Holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on (or consent to) such matter. Except as provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation, the Holders of Series C shall vote together with the holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock as a single class and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. The voting rights of each Holder shall be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in Section 5(d).

 

16.    Transfer of Series C. A Holder may transfer some or all of its Series C without the consent of the Corporation subject to compliance with securities laws.

 

17.    Reissuance of Preferred Certificates.

 

(a)    Transfer. If any Series C are to be transferred, the applicable Holder shall surrender the applicable Series C Certificate to the Corporation, whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new Series C Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)), registered as such Holder may request, representing the outstanding number of Series C being transferred by such Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding number of Series C is being transferred, a new Series C Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)) to such Holder representing the outstanding number of Series C not being transferred. Such Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of the Series C Certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 5(c)(i) following conversion of any of the Series C, the outstanding number of Series C represented by the Series C may be less than the number of Series C stated on the face of the Series C Certificate.

 

(b)    Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Series C Certificate. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Series C Certificate (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Corporation in customary and reasonable form without the requirement to post a bond or other security and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Series C Certificate, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new Series C Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the applicable outstanding number of Series C.

 

(c)    Series C Certificate Exchangeable for Different Denominations. Each Series C Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the applicable Holder at the principal office of the Corporation, for a new Series C Certificate or Series C Certificate(s) (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding number of the Series C in the original Series C Certificate, and each such new certificate will represent such portion of such outstanding number of Series C from the original Series C Certificate as is designated by such Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

(d)    Issuance of New Series C Certificate. Whenever the Corporation is required to issue a new Series C Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, such new Series C Certificate (i) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Series C Certificate, the number of Series C remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Series C Certificate being issued pursuant to Section 17(a) or Section 17(c), the number of Series C designated by such Holder which, when added to the number of Series C represented by the other new Series C Certificates

 

43

 

 

issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Series C remaining outstanding under the original Series C Certificate immediately prior to such issuance of new Series C Certificate), and (ii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Series C Certificate, which is the same as the issuance date of the original Series C Certificate.

 

(e)    Book Entry. If the Corporation’s Transfer Agent issues the Series C in book entry format, all provisions of this Certificate of Designations as to delivery of Series C certificates shall be disregarded, and the Transfer Agent shall make entries in the stock transfer records in connection with conversions and transfers, as appropriate.

 

18.    Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches, and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Corporation covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion, and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Corporation (or the performance thereof). The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Corporation therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Corporation shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Corporation’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations.

 

19.    Attorneys Fees.

 

(a)    If (i) any shares of Series C are placed in the hands of an attorney to enforce the provisions of this Certificate of Designations or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Corporation or other proceedings affecting Corporation creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Certificate of Designations, then the Corporation shall pay the costs incurred by such Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

(b)    In addition to the obligations under Section 19(a), in connection with the removal of restrictive legends from shares of Series C, the Corporation shall pay the reasonable attorney’s fees of counsel to any Holder in any amount not to exceed $750 per opinion of counsel. Such payment(s) shall be made within one Trading Day after receipt of a Conversion Notice or other notice from a Holder.

 

20.    Construction; Headings. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Corporation and the Holders and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Certificate of Designations. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and

 

44

 

 

plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Certificate of Designations instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Certificate of Designations.

 

21.    Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 22 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 19.

 

22.    Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)    In the case of a dispute relating to the Closing Sale Price, a Conversion Price or a fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of a Conversion Rate, (including a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Corporation or the applicable Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party via electronic mail (A) if by the Corporation, within two Trading Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such Holder at any time after such Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If such Holder and the Corporation are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price or such fair market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion Rate, at any time after the second Trading Day following such initial notice by the Corporation or such Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Corporation or such Holder (as the case may be), then such Holder may, at its sole option, select an independent, reputable investment bank to resolve such dispute.

 

(b)    Such Holder and the Corporation shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 23(a) and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) by the fifth Trading Day immediately following the date on which such Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either such Holder or the Corporation fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Corporation and such Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Corporation nor such Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

 

(c)    The Corporation and such Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Corporation and such Holder of such resolution no later than 10 Trading Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Corporation, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

 

45

 

 

23.    Notices. The Corporation shall provide each Holder of Series C with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 8(e) of the Exchange Agreements or in accordance with any other instructions provided by the Holder to the Corporation. The Corporation shall provide each Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason, therefore. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation shall give written notice to each Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least 4 days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder. All notices shall be by email or recognized overnight delivery service, next Trading Day delivery using the addresses of the Corporation as provided to the Holders and the addresses of any Holder as provided by such Holder to the Corporation. The Corporation and the Holders may change their addresses by notice by the Corporation to all Holders or any Holder to the Corporation.

 

24.    Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Certificate of Designations shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Certificate of Designations shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Except as otherwise required by this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein (i) shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Corporation in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Corporation’s obligations to such Holder, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Holder or (ii) shall limit, or shall be deemed or construed to limit, any provision of Section 21. The Corporation and each Holder hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Certificate of Designations or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

 

25.    Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Designations so long as this Certificate of Designations as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or

 

46

 

 

reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid, or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid, or unenforceable provision(s).

 

26.    Amendment. This Certificate of Designations or any provision hereof (other than Section 5(d)) may be modified or amended, or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Corporation and the Holders of 50.1% of the outstanding shares of Series C at the time of the waiver. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

3.    Ranking. Until such time as the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series D (the “Majority”), expressly consent to the creation of a series of capital stock in parity with the Series D (“Parity Stock”) or Senior Preferred Stock (each as defined below) in accordance with Section 15, the Series D shall rank senior with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation and all other shares of capital stock of the Corporation, including all other outstanding shares of preferred stock as of the filing date of this Certificate of Designation, except for the Corporation’s Series X Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which shall rank pari passu with the Series D with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation, shall be junior in rank to all Series D with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation (such junior stock is referred to herein collectively as “Junior Stock”).

Except as provided for herein, in the event of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into another corporation, the Series D shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein for a period of at least two years following such merger or consolidation.

 

4.    Redemption/Dividends/Conversion.

In the event the Corporation decides to exercise the redemption right, within one Trading Day, the Corporation shall deliver written notice to the applicable Holder of Series D that the Series D will be redeemed (the “Corporation Redemption Notice”) on the date that is three trading days following the date of the Corporation Redemption Notice (such date, the “Corporation Redemption Date”). On the Corporation Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem the shares specified in such request by paying in cash therefor a sum per share equal to the Corporation Redemption Price. In no event shall a Corporation Redemption Notice be given if the Corporation may not lawfully redeem its capital stock. On or before the Corporation Redemption Date, the Corporation Redemption Price for such shares shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the applicable Holder.

 

(b)    Accrual and Payment of Dividends. From the Initial Issuance Date, cumulative dividends on each share of Series D shall accrue, on a quarterly basis in arrears (with any partial quarter being made on a pro-rata basis), at the rate of 6% per annum on the Stated Value, plus the Additional Amount thereon. Dividends shall be paid within 15 days after the end of each fiscal quarter (“Dividend Payment Date”).

 

(c)    Participating Dividends. Each Holder of Series D shall be entitled to receive dividends or distributions on each share of Series D on an “as converted” into Common Stock basis as provided in Section 4 hereof when and if dividends are declared on the Common Stock by the Board of Directors.

 

57

 

 

5.    Conversion. At any time after the Initial Issuance Date, each share of Series D shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.

 

(a)    Holders Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(d), at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Series D held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5(c) at the Conversion Rate. The Corporation shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share or pay to the Holder a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price. The Corporation shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such conversion shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series D and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such conversion shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

(b)    Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any share of Series D pursuant to Section 5(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such share of Series D by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”);

 

(i)”    Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each share of Series D, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (1) the Stated Value thereof plus (2) the Additional Amount thereon.

 

(ii)     ”Conversion Price” means, with respect to each share of Series D, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $0.25.

 

(c)    Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each share of Series D shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)    (1) Optional Conversion. To convert a share of Series D into shares of Common Stock on any date that is six months after the Initial Issuance Date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver, via electronic mail or otherwise, for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Series D subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Corporation. If required by Section 5(c)(iii), within three Trading Days following a conversion of any such Series D as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Corporation the original certificates representing the Series D (the “Series D Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Series D in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 16). On or before the first Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall transmit by electronic mail an

 

58

 

 

acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Corporation’s Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule, or regulation, including the rules of the Principal Market or other customary applicable policy for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Corporation shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Corporation’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Series D represented by the Series D Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) is greater than the number of Series D being converted, then the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than two Trading Days after receipt of the Series D Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Series D Certificate (in accordance with Section 16(d)) representing the number of Series D not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series D shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

(2)         Automatic Conversion. Upon (i) the request of the Corporation’s underwriters that the Series D convert to shares of Common Stock or (ii) a listing of the Corporation’s Common Stock on a national securities exchange, the Series D shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the Holder and the Holders shall have no further rights as a Holder. The effective date of the conversion shall be the date requested by the underwriters or first trading date of the shares of Common Stock on a national securities exchange, as applicable.

 

(ii)    Corporations Failure to Timely Convert. If the Corporation shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, to issue to such Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s share register or to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, (X) the Corporation shall pay in cash to such Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Deadline and during such Conversion Failure an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which such Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) the closing price of the Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, and (Y) such Holder, upon written notice to the Corporation, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, all, or any portion, of such Series D that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Corporation’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date

 

59

 

 

of such notice pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Corporation shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Corporation’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such conversion that such Holder so is entitled to receive from the Corporation, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Corporation shall, within two)Trading Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Corporation’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii).

 

(iii)    Registration; Book-Entry. The Corporation shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each share of Series D and the Stated Value of the Series D (the “Registered Series D”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Corporation and each Holder of the Series D shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a share of Series D for all purposes (including the right to receive payments and dividends hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A registered share of Series D may be assigned, transferred, or sold only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Series D by such Holder thereof, the Corporation shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new shares of Series D in the same aggregate Stated Value as the Stated Value of the surrendered Series D to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 17, provided that if the Corporation does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of such Series D shares within two Trading Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, following conversion of any Series D in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Holder shall not be required to physically surrender such Series D to the Corporation unless (A) the full or remaining number of Series D shares represented by

 

60

 

 

the applicable Series D Certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Corporation as contemplated by this Section 5(c)(iii)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Series D upon physical surrender of the applicable Series D Certificate. Each Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the Stated Value and dividends converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Corporation, so as not to require physical surrender of a Series D Certificate upon conversion. If the Corporation does not update the Register to record such Stated Value and dividends converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two Trading Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number of Series D to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series D, the number of Series D represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Series D stated on the face thereof. Each Series D Certificate shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF

 

(iv)    Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Corporation receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Corporation can convert some, but not all, of such Series D submitted for conversion, the Corporation shall convert from each Holder electing to have Series D converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Series D submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Series D submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Series D submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Series D, the Corporation shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 22.

 

(d)    Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Corporation shall not affect the conversion of any of the Series D held by a Holder, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any of the Series D held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (which provision may be increased to a maximum of 9.99% by such Holder by written notice from such Holder to the Corporation, which notice shall be effective 61 calendar days after the date of such

 

61

 

 

notice). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Series D beneficially owned by such Holder and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any Convertible Securities and Options) beneficially owned by such Holder subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 5(d). For purposes of this Section 5(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Series D without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (z) any other written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). Notwithstanding the preceding, the Holder may rely on the Transfer Agent’s records if the Reported Outstanding Share Number is different than what the Corporation reports. If the Corporation receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Corporation shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 5(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Corporation of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including such Series D, by such Holder since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Series D results in such Holder being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert such Series D pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 5(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The provisions of this Section 5(d) shall be of no further force or effect if the Holder participates in a subsequent transaction with the Corporation which results in the Holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding which shall include securities

 

62

 

 

convertible into Common Stock which do not contain a beneficial ownership limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Conversion Notice that such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 5(d) and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. The limitations contained in this Section 5(d) shall apply to a successor holder of Series D.

 

(e)    Triggering Event Conversion. Subject to Section 5(d), at any time during the period commencing on the date of the occurrence of a Triggering Event and ending on the date of the cure of such Triggering Event, a Holder may, at such Holder’s option, by delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Corporation to convert all, or any number of Series D into shares of Common Stock at the Triggering Event Conversion Price. “Triggering Event Conversion Price” means, the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 75% of the average VWAP for the five Trading Days prior to date of the Conversion Notice.

 

6.    Triggering Events.

 

(a)    Triggering Event. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Triggering Event”:

 

(i)    the Corporation does not meet the current public information requirements under Rule 144 in respect of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D;

(iii)    the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on a Principal Market for a period of 10 consecutive Trading Days;

(v)    at any time following the 10th consecutive day that a Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation is less than 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion, in full of all of the Series D then held by such Holder (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in this Certificate of Designations);

 

(vi)    the Corporation’s failure to pay to any Holder any dividend on a Dividend Payment Date or any other amount when and as due under this Certificate of Designation, or any other Transaction Document, except, in the case of a failure to pay dividends on the Dividend Payment Date, only if such failure remains uncured for a period of at least 10 consecutive Trading Days;

 

(vii)    the Corporation either (A) fails to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within two Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date on two or more occasions or (B) fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or any shares of Common Stock issued to such Holder upon conversion of any Series D or as and when required by this Certificate of Designations unless otherwise then prohibited by applicable federal securities laws, and any such failure to remove the legend remains uncured for at least ten consecutive Trading Days;

7.    Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.

 

(a)    Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 and 9 below, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Series D (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series D) held by such Holder immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage), at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.

 

(b)    Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Corporation shall make appropriate provision to insure that each Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of all the Series D held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series D contained in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such

 

65

 

 

conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Series D held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. The provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series D contained in this Certificate of Designations. “Fundamental Transaction” means the occurrence of the Corporation (i) directly or indirectly, including through subsidiaries, Affiliates or otherwise, in one or more related transactions, (A) consolidating or merging with or into (if the Corporation is the surviving corporation) another Person, (B) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Corporation or any of its “significant subsidiaries” (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) to one or more Persons, (C) making, or allowing one or more Persons to make, or allowing the Corporation to be subject to or have its Common Stock be subject to or party to one or more Persons making, a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of at least either (x) 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (y) 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated as if any shares of Common Stock held by all Persons making or party to, or affiliated with any Persons making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer were not outstanding; or (z) such number of shares of Common Stock such that all Persons making or party to, or affiliated with any Person making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer, become collectively the beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (D) consummating a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more Persons whereby all such Persons, individually or in the aggregate, acquire, either (x) at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (y) at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated as if any shares of Common Stock held by all the Persons making or party to, or affiliated with any Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination were not outstanding; or (z) such number of shares of Common Stock such that the Persons become collectively the beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (E) reorganize, recapitalize or reclassify its Common Stock other than a stock split.

 

8.    Price Protection. Except for any Exempt Issuance (as hereinafter defined), in the event the Corporation issues or sells any securities including Options or Convertible Securities (or amends any outstanding securities of the Company), at an effective price of, or with an exercise or conversion price of less than the Conversion Price, then upon such issuance or sale, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the sale price or the exercise or conversion price of the securities issued or sold. “Exempt Issuance” shall mean any sale or issuance by the Corporation of its Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity (or any division or business unit thereof); (ii) the Corporation’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic supply, sale or license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital; (iii) the Corporation’s issuance of Common stock, restricted stock units or the issuances or grants of Options to purchase Common Stock to employees, officers or directors, under an equity incentive plan (or successor or superseding equity incentive plan) adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (limited to 40,000,000); (iv) securities issued upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Convertible Securities or other securities issued and outstanding on the date of the issuance of Series D to securities holders of the Corporation in exchange for other securities existing as of the date this

 

66

 

 

Certificate of Designations is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and securities issued upon exercise or conversion of the Series D or warrants issued with the Series D; (v) the conversion or exercise of any Company securities which are outstanding (and have not been amended after) on the date of this Certificate of Designation; or (vi) the issuance of securities by the Corporation in a public offering. In case any shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options are issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, each share of Common Stock underlying any such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be one additional share of Common Stock for the purposes of determining the effective price of the non-Exempt Issuance.

 

9.    Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by any reverse split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 9 occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

10.    Participation in Future Financing.

 

(a)    Until the 6 month anniversary of the issuance of the Series D to the Holder, upon any issuance by the Corporation of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration or a combination of units hereof in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Holders of the outstanding Series D shall have the right to participate in an amount equal to an aggregate of 30% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. At least twenty four hours prior to the expected announcement or closing of the Subsequent Financing (whichever is first), the Corporation shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the person or persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). If the Holder desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing it must provide written notice to the Company within twelve hours of the time the Subsequent Financing Notice is delivered to such Holder (the “Notice Termination Time”) that such Holder is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Holder’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Holder has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice, holds a number of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement equal to or greater than the number proposed to be purchased in the Subsequent Financing, and will not as a result of such purchase beneficially own more than 9.99% of shares of Common Stock, either individually or as part of a Group as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Company receives no such notice from a Holder as of such Notice Termination Time, such Holder shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Subsequent Financing” shall not include any greenshoe financing in connection with the offering of the Series D preferred shares.

 

67

 

 

(b)    If by the Notice Termination time, the Corporation receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Holders seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Holder shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the amount of Series D issued on the Initial Issuance Date to the Holder participating under this Section 10 and (y) the sum of the aggregate amount of Series D issued on the Initial Issuance Date to all Holders participating under this Section 10.

 

(c)    The Corporation must provide the Holders with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Holders will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 9, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

(d)    The Corporation and each Holder agree that if any Holder elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the securities held by it or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Holder.

 

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Holder, the Corporation shall either confirm in writing to such Holder that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Holder will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the 10th Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such 10th Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Holder, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Holder shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance or a public offering.

 

11.    Non-circumvention. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of any Series D above the Conversion Price then in effect, (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Series D and (c) shall, so long as any Series D are outstanding, and upon the filing of an amendment to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series D, two (2) times the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Series D then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein).

 

68

 

 

12.    Authorized Shares.

 

(a)    Reservation. So long as any Series D remain outstanding, the Corporation shall at all times reserve at least two times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Series D then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of the Series D held by each Holder (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Series D, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. If the Required Reserve Amount is not met at such time, any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series D shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series D, pro rata based on the number of the Series D then held by the Holders.

 

(b)    Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 12(a) and not in limitation thereof, while any of the Series D remain outstanding the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series D at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Corporation shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Corporation’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Corporation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Series D then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 120 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Corporation shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In lieu of a meeting of stockholders, the Corporation may effect such action by written consent in accordance with Section 14(c) of the 1934 Act. Except as provided in the first sentence of Section 12(a), in the event that the Corporation is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon any conversion due to the failure by the Corporation to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to such Holder, the Corporation shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock based upon the five Trading Days during the period commencing on the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Corporation and ending on the date of such issuance under this Section 12(b). Nothing contained in this Section shall limit any obligations of the Corporation under any provision of the Transaction Documents.

 

13.    Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Corporation, whether from capital or from earnings

 

69

 

 

available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior Stock, but pari passu with any Parity Stock then outstanding, an amount per share of Series D equal to the greater of (A) the Conversion Amount thereof on the date of such payment or (B) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Series D into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of Parity Stock, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Series D and all holders of shares of Parity Stock. To the extent necessary, the Corporation shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 13. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 13 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Corporation to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 13 applies.

 

14.    Distribution of Assets. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 and 9, if the Corporation shall declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (the “Distributions”), then each Holder, as holders of Series D, will be entitled to such Distributions as if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series D (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the conversion of the Series D) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for such Distributions (provided, however, that to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times, if any, such Holder shall be granted such rights (and any rights under this Section 13 on such initial rights or on any subsequent such rights to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

15.    Vote.

 

(a)    To Change the Terms of or Issue Series D. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or the written consent without a meeting, of a Majority, voting together as a single class, the Corporation shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of shares of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series D, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series D; (c) without limiting any provision of Section 2, create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares

 

70

 

 

that has a preference over or is on a parity with the Series D with respect to dividends or the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; (d) pay dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of any capital stock of the Corporation junior in rank to the Series D; (e) issue any Series D other than as provided in Section 2; or (f) without limiting any provision of Section 8 and 9, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series D, circumvent a right of the Series D.

 

16.    Transfer of Series D. A Holder may transfer some or all of its Series D without the consent of the Corporation subject to compliance with securities laws.

 

17.    Reissuance of Preferred Certificates.

 

(a)    Transfer. If any Series D are to be transferred, the applicable Holder shall surrender the applicable Series D Certificate to the Corporation, whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new Series D Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)), registered as such Holder may request, representing the outstanding number of Series D being transferred by such Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding number of Series D is being transferred, a new Series D Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)) to such Holder representing the outstanding number of Series D not being transferred. Such Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of the Series D Certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 5(c)(i) following conversion of any of the Series D, the outstanding number of Series D represented by the Series D may be less than the number of Series D stated on the face of the Series D Certificate.

 

(b)    Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Series D Certificate. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Series D Certificate (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Corporation in customary and reasonable form without the requirement to post a bond or other security and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Series D Certificate, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new Series D Certificate (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the applicable outstanding number of Series D.

 

(c)    Series D Certificate Exchangeable for Different Denominations. Each Series D Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the applicable Holder at the principal office of the Corporation, for a new Series D Certificate or Series D Certificate(s) (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding number of the Series D in the original Series D Certificate, and each such new certificate will represent such portion of such outstanding number of Series D from the original Series D Certificate as is designated by such Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

(d)    Issuance of New Series D Certificate. Whenever the Corporation is required to issue a new Series D Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, such new Series D Certificate (i) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Series D Certificate, the number of Series D remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Series D Certificate being issued pursuant to Section 17(a) or Section 17(c), the number of Series D designated by such Holder which, when added to the number of Series D represented by the other new Series D Certificates issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Series D remaining outstanding under the original Series D Certificate immediately prior to such issuance of new Series D Certificate), and (ii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Series D Certificate, which is the same as the issuance date of the original Series D Certificate.

 

71

 

 

(e)    Book Entry. If the Corporation’s Transfer Agent issues the Series D in book entry format, all provisions of this Certificate of Designations as to delivery of Series D certificates shall be disregarded, and the Transfer Agent shall make entries in the stock transfer records in connection with conversions and transfers, as appropriate.

 

18.    Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches, and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Corporation covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion, and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Corporation (or the performance thereof). The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Corporation therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Corporation shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Corporation’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations.

 

19.    Attorneys Fees.

 

(a)    If (i) any shares of Series D are placed in the hands of an attorney to enforce the provisions of this Certificate of Designations or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Corporation or other proceedings affecting Corporation creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Certificate of Designations, then the Corporation shall pay the costs incurred by such Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

(b)    In addition to the obligations under Section 19(a), in connection with the removal of restrictive legends from shares of Series D, the Corporation shall pay the reasonable attorney’s fees of counsel to any Holder in any amount not to exceed $750 per opinion of counsel. Such payment(s) shall be made within one Trading Day after receipt of a Conversion Notice or other notice from a Holder.

 

20.    Construction; Headings. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Corporation and the Holders and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Certificate of Designations. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Certificate of Designations instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Certificate of Designations.

 

72

 

 

21.    Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 22 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 19.

 

22.    Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)    In the case of a dispute relating to the Closing Sale Price, a Conversion Price or a fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of a Conversion Rate, (including a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Corporation or the applicable Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party via electronic mail (A) if by the Corporation, within two Trading Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such Holder at any time after such Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If such Holder and the Corporation are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price or such fair market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion Rate, at any time after the second Trading Day following such initial notice by the Corporation or such Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Corporation or such Holder (as the case may be), then such Holder may, at its sole option, select an independent, reputable investment bank to resolve such dispute.

 

(b)    Such Holder and the Corporation shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 23(a) and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) by the fifth Trading Day immediately following the date on which such Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either such Holder or the Corporation fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Corporation and such Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Corporation nor such Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

 

(c)    The Corporation and such Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Corporation and such Holder of such resolution no later than 10 Trading Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Corporation, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

The Corporation shall provide each Holder of Series D with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 8(e) of the Exchange Agreements or in accordance with any other instructions provided by the Holder to the Corporation. The Corporation shall provide each Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason, therefore. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation shall give written notice to each Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least 4 days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder. All notices shall be by email or recognized overnight delivery service, next Trading Day delivery using the addresses of the Corporation as provided to the Holders and the addresses of any Holder as provided by such Holder to the Corporation. The Corporation and the Holders may change their addresses by notice by the Corporation to all Holders or any Holder to the Corporation.

 

24.    Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Certificate of Designations shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Certificate of Designations shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Except as otherwise required by this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein (i) shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Corporation in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Corporation’s obligations to such Holder, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Holder or (ii) shall limit, or shall be deemed or construed to limit, any provision of Section 21. The Corporation and each Holder hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Certificate of Designations or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

 

74

 

 

25.    Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Designations so long as this Certificate of Designations as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid, or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid, or unenforceable provision(s).

 

26.    Amendment. This Certificate of Designations or any provision hereof (other than Section 5(d)) may be modified or amended, or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Corporation and the Holders of 50.1% of the outstanding shares of Series D at the time of the waiver. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
