Series A Preferred Stock
Effective as of November 9, 2022, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Vislink Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), to stockholders of record at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 21, 2022 (the “Record Date”).
General; Transferability. Shares of Series Preferred Stock will be uncertificated and represented in book-entry form. No shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be transferred by the holder thereof except in connection with a transfer by such holder of any shares of Common Stock held by such holder, in which case a number of one one-thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock to be transferred by such holder will be automatically transferred to the transferee of such shares of Common Stock.
Voting Rights. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to 1,000,000 votes per share (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock will have a ratable number of votes). Thus, each one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock would entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes. The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as a single class exclusively with respect to any proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock at a ratio specified in or determined in accordance with the terms of such amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote on any other matter, except to the extent required under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Unless otherwise provided on any applicable proxy or ballot with respect to the voting on the Reverse Stock Split, the vote of each share of Series A Preferred Stock (or fraction thereof) entitled to vote on the Reverse Stock Split, the Adjournment Proposal or any other matter brought before any meeting of stockholders held to vote on the Reverse Stock Split will be cast in the same manner as the vote, if any, of the share of Common Stock (or fraction thereof) in respect of which such share of Series A Preferred Stock (or fraction thereof) was issued as a dividend is cast on the Reverse Stock Split or such other matter, as applicable, and the proxy or ballot with respect to shares of Common Stock held by any holder on whose behalf such proxy or ballot is submitted will be deemed to include all shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or fraction thereof) held by such holder. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not receive a separate ballot or proxy to cast votes with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock on the Reverse Stock Split or any other matter brought before any meeting of stockholders held to vote on the Reverse Stock Split.
Dividend Rights. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock, as such, will not be entitled to receive dividends of any kind.
Liquidation Preference. The Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock as to any distribution of assets upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (a “Dissolution”). Upon any Dissolution, each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, prior and in preference to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to $0.00001 per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock.
Redemption. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are not present in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders held to vote on the Reverse Stock Split and the Adjournment Proposal as of immediately prior to the opening of the polls at such meeting (the “Initial Redemption Time”) will automatically be redeemed in whole, but not in part, by the Company at the Initial Redemption Time without further action on the part of the Company or the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Initial Redemption”). Any outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been redeemed pursuant to an Initial Redemption will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion or (ii) automatically upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split at any meeting of the stockholders held for the purpose of voting on such proposal.
2 |
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed in any redemption described above will be redeemed in consideration for the right to receive an amount equal to $0.10 in cash for each ten thousand (10,000) whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are “beneficially owned” by the “beneficial owner” (as such terms are defined in the certificate of designation with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”)) thereof as of the applicable redemption time and redeemed pursuant to such redemption, payable upon receipt by the Company of a written request submitted by the applicable holder to the corporate secretary of the Company (each a “Redemption Payment Request”) following the applicable redemption time. Such Redemption Payment Request shall (i) be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the holder at the applicable redemption time and include evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company regarding the same, and (iii) set forth a calculation specifying the amount in cash owed to such Holder by the Company with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were redeemed at the applicable redemption time. However, the redemption consideration in respect of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or fractions thereof) redeemed in any redemption described above: (i) will entitle the former beneficial owners of less than ten thousand (10,000) whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed in any redemption to no cash payment in respect thereof and (y) will, in the case of a former beneficial owner of a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or fractions thereof) redeemed pursuant to any redemption that is not equal to a whole number that is a multiple of ten thousand (10,000), entitle such beneficial owner to the same cash payment, if any, in respect of such redemption as would have been payable in such redemption to such beneficial owner if the number of shares (or fractions thereof) beneficially owned by such beneficial owner and redeemed pursuant to such redemption were rounded down to the nearest whole number that is a multiple of ten thousand (such, that for example, the former beneficial owner of fifteen thousand (15,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to any redemption will be entitled to receive the same cash payment in respect of such redemption as would have been payable to the former beneficial owner of ten thousand (10,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to such redemption).
The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund. The Series A Preferred Stock is not subject to any restriction on the redemption or repurchase of shares by the Company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.
The
Certificate of Designation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and became effective on November 9, 2022. The foregoing description
of the Series A Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation,
which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Certificates of Elimination
On April 25, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware designating 5,000,000 shares out of the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of its preferred stock as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”). On December 21, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware designating 5,000 shares out of the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of its preferred stock as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Series E Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, no shares of Series D Preferred Stock and no shares of Series E Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.
On November 9, 2022, the Company filed Certificates of Elimination for each of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock (the “Certificates of Elimination”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which, effective upon filing, eliminated all matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series D Preferred Stock and Certificate of Designation of Series E Preferred Stock previously filed by the Company. Pursuant to the Certificates of Elimination, the shares that were previously designated as Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company, issuable from time to time, in one or more series, pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation.
The foregoing description of the Certificates of Elimination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificates of Elimination, which are filed as Exhibit 3.2 and Exhibit 3.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

For the avoidance of any doubt, but without limiting the foregoing, neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, nor the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets shall, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a Dissolution.
4.2. Upon any Dissolution, each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, prior and in preference to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to $0.00001 per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock.

Such Redemption Payment Request shall (i) be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the holder at the applicable Redemption Time and include evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation regarding the same, and (iii) set forth a calculation specifying the amount in cash owed to such Holder by the Corporation with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were redeemed at the applicable Redemption Time.

As used herein, “Person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity, and shall include any successor (by merger or otherwise) to such entity.

5.4. From and after the time at which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are called for redemption (whether automatically or otherwise) in accordance with Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, and the only right of the former holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as such, will be to receive the applicable redemption price, if any. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to this Certificate of Designation shall not be reissued as shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall take all action necessary to restore such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, and for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or fraction thereof) that have been redeemed pursuant to an Initial Redemption shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of voting or determining the number of votes entitled to vote on any matter submitted to stockholders (including the Reverse Stock Split or any other matter brought before any meeting of stockholders held to vote on the Reverse Stock Split) from and after the time of the Initial Redemption. Notice of any meeting of stockholders for the submission to stockholders of any proposal to approve the Reverse Stock Split shall constitute notice of a redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to an Initial Redemption and result in the automatic redemption of the applicable shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and/or fractions thereof) pursuant to the Initial Redemption at the Initial Redemption Time pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof. Notice by the Corporation of the approval by the Corporation’s stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split, whether by press release or a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, shall constitute a notice of redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a Subsequent Redemption and result in the automatic redemption of the applicable shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and/or fractions thereof) pursuant to the Subsequent Redemption at the Subsequent Redemption Time pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof. In connection with the filing of this Certificate of Designation, the Corporation has set apart funds for payment for the redemption of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Redemptions and shall continue to keep such funds apart for such payment through the payment of the purchase price for the redemption of all such shares.
3 |
6. Transfer. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be uncertificated and represented in book-entry form. No shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be transferred by the holder thereof except in connection with a transfer by such holder of any shares of Common Stock held thereby, in which case a number of one one-thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock to be transferred by such holder shall be automatically transferred to the transferee of such shares of Common Stock. Notice of the foregoing restrictions on transfer shall be given in accordance with Section 151 of the DGCL.
7. Fractional Shares. The Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in whole shares or in any fraction of a share that is one one-thousandth (1/1,000th) of a share or any integral multiple of such fraction, which fractions shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, participate in distributions upon a Dissolution and have the benefit of any other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
8. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions hereof.

In that case, a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be transferred by such holder would be transferred to the transferee of such shares of common stock.
Additional details regarding the Series A Preferred Stock will be contained in a report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Further details regarding a special meeting of shareholders of the Company to consider a reverse stock split are anticipated to be contained in a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A to be filed by the Company with the SEC. This special meeting will be separate and apart from the previously announced 2022 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company scheduled to be held on December 27, 2022. The special meeting will relate solely to a proposal to potentially effect a reverse stock split. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be eligible to participate in the 2022 annual meeting.
This communication does not constitute a solicitation of any vote or approval of any matter. Investors will be able to obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement for the separate 2022 annual and special meetings, when available, and other relevant documents filed by Vislink with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
