Preferred Stock

 

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock, of which 250,000 were designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Shares. As of October 31, 2025 and 2024 there were no Series A Convertible Preferred shares outstanding.

 

In May 2025, the Company designated 750,000 shares as Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares for a private placement of the A-1 stock for a maximum of $15 million. As of October 31, 2025 and 2024, 35,000 and 0 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

The following is a summary of the rights and preferences of the Preferred A-1 Stock:

 

The holders of the Preferred A-1 Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference with respect to the Preferred A-1 Stock in the amount of $20 per share (“Stated Value”), subordinate to the stated value of any outstanding shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the Preferred A Stock, pari passu with the stated value of the series A-1 Preferred Stock, and senior to the rights of the holders of common stock.

 

The holders of the Preferred A-1 Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 8% based on the Stated Value per share, payable on the maturity date, which is five years from the date of issuance. Dividends are payable in the form of shares of common stock valued at $4.00 per share.

 

The Preferred A-1 Stock may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time by notice to the holders. In the event of redemption, the Company shall be obligated to pay to each holder the Stated Value per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

 

The Preferred A-1 Shares are convertible into common stock at $4.00 per share and may be converted at the discretion of the holder. The Preferred A-1 Stock shall automatically convert into the Company’s common stock if (a) (i) the common stock into which the Preferred A-1 Shares are convertible is registered with the SEC, (ii) there exists a public trading market for the common stock, and (iii) the trading price of the Company’s common stock has equaled or exceeded 200% of the conversion price as then in effect for ten or more consecutive trading days or (b) the Company effects a merger, consolidation or sale of assets and is not the surviving entity.

 

The holders of the Preferred A-1 Shares have the right to vote with the holders of the common stock on any matters presented to the stockholders at any regular or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company on an “as-converted” basis. The holders of the Series A-1 Stock are also entitled to vote as a class in the event the Company intends to create and/or issue shares of preferred stock that are senior to the Series A-1 Stock or if the Company attempts to amend its Articles of Incorporation to alter or amend the powers, privileges, rights, restrictions or conditions of the Series A-1 Stock.
