As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company had 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001, respectively. Of this amount, 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are authorized and outstanding, 5,000 shares Series B Preferred Stock are authorized and no shares outstanding; 5,000 shares Series D Preferred Stock are authorized with none outstanding; 10,000 shares Series E Preferred Stock are authorized with 1,656 and 1,670 outstanding, respectively; 750,000 shares Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred stock are authorized with 750,000 shares outstanding, and 10,000 shares of Series G preferred stock are authorized with 445 outstanding, respectively.

 

 

Series E Preferred Stock

 

On April 14, 2021, the Board authorized the issuance of 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock and has filed a Certificate of Designation (“COD”) of Preferences of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with the State of Nevada. The shares of Series E Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,200 per share and are convertible into shares of common stock at the election of the holder of the Series E Preferred Stock at any time at a price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Series E Stated Value (plus any and all other amounts which may be owing in connection therewith) by the Conversion Price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. Each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding and held by such holder, dividends at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, payable quarterly. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company on the date that is no later than one calendar year from the date of its issuance. The Series E Preferred Stock are also redeemable at the Company’s option, at percentages ranging from 115% to 125% for the first 180 days, based on the passage of time. The holders of Series E Preferred Stock rank senior to the Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Series E Designation) with respect to payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation and will vote together with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, on each matter submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock (whether at a meeting of shareholders or by written consent). Based upon a subsequent financing, the holder has the option to exchange (in lieu of conversion), all or some of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock then held for any securities or units issued in a subsequent financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the holder has the option to request that the Company or the successor entity shall purchase the Preferred Stock from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value. Upon any triggering event as set forth in the COD, including a change in control or the Company shall fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of common stock to issue to such holder upon a conversion, each holder shall have the right, exercisable at the sole option of such holder, to require the Company to redeem all of the Series E Preferred Stock then held by such holder for a redemption price, in cash, equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount (150% of the Stated Value and all accrued but unpaid dividends and all liquidated damages, late fees and other costs), and increase the dividend rate on all of the outstanding Preferred Stock held by such Holder to 18% per annum thereafter. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing for each share of Preferred Stock, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders shall be ratably distributed among the holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

 

On November 22, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA”) for 1,500 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock, at a price of $1,000 per share and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price equal to $0.75, which expires in five years, for a purchase price of $1,500,000. The warrant had a fair value of $561,000, estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.38; a risk-free interest rate of 1.33%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%. The Company also issued 267,429 warrants as placement agent fees, with a fair value of $101,000, estimated with the same assumptions. All of the warrants were classified as a liability, as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares to be issued upon settlement. The Company accreted the carrying value, reflecting the discount of $300,000 between the stated value and purchase price and the fair value of the warrants issued of $662,000, of the Series E Preferred Stock in temporary equity up to the redemption value over the period until its redemption which was fully accreted as of March 31, 2023.

 

On April 14, 2021, the Company, entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with a holder of the Series D Preferred Stock, whereby, at the closing of the Offering, the Holder agreed to exchange an aggregate of 3,600 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share into 3,739.63 shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). The exchange was completed on April 15, 2021.

 

On June 16, 2022, one of the holders of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock chose to exercise their right, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation relating to the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, to receive the rights extended to the convertible noteholder, of 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. As the exercise of the conversion price adjustment was similar to a down round, and the Company has not yet adopted ASU 2020-06, the accounting treatment of ASU 2017-11 was applied, whereby the adjustment was treated as a contingent beneficial conversion feature recognized as of the triggering date. As of June 16, 2022, this holder held 940 shares of the Series E preferred stock. The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”, and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company as compared to the conversion price, determined there was a $99,000 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which was fully amortized as there is no remaining redemption date to their Series E Preferred Stock. The additional rights of the convertible note which were applied include the 10% increase in the outstanding balance if an uplist to a national exchange was not consummated by the Company by March 1, 2022, for an increase of 130 Series E Preferred shares with a stated value of $156,000, as well as an exit fee of 15% to be recognized upon conversions of the Series E Preferred shares into shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2023, 170 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were outstanding to this holder.

 

 

During the year ended March 31, 2023, 1,300 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted into 14,458,127 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2023 there were 1,670 shares of Series E Preferred Stock remaining outstanding.

 

On November 5, 2022, the Company entered a restructuring agreement with the Series E Preferred Stockholders, whereby the Series E Preferred Stock and the warrants outstanding as of the Closing date shall have their terms adjusted. The outstanding warrants shall be a) cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the fair value of the warrants based on the Black Scholes model, with the exercise price to be adjusted to equal 80% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company common stock during the five trading day period immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjusted Exercise Price”); or (b) as of the Effective Time, canceled and treated as if exercised for that number of shares of the Company’s common stock calculated using the Black Scholes model fair value, the number of Warrant Shares on the Closing Date and the Adjusted Exercise Price, with the shares of the Company’s common stock that would have been due to Holder as a result of such exercise of the Warrant treated as if issued to Holder and then converted into the right to receive (i) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) plus (ii) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in the Merger Agreement. For the Series E Preferred Stock that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, they shall be canceled and treated as if converted into that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to (i) the stated value of $1,200 per share plus any unpaid dividends, multiplied by 1.25, divided by (ii) 80% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading day period immediately prior to the Closing Date. The shares of the Company’s common stock that would have been due to the holder as a result of the conversion of such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated as issued to holder and converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive (y) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration plus (z) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in the Merger Agreement. Due to the termination of the Merger Agreement (Note 13) this restructuring agreement is no longer effective.

 

On July 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the additional sale of 156 shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock, for a total of $156,000. The Series E Preferred Stock will earn a dividend of 12% per annum, for as long as the relevant Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted. Dividends are to be paid quarterly, and at the Company’s discretion, in cash or Preferred Stock calculated at the purchase price.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2024 the accretion for the Series E Preferred Stock was $27,900.

 

On May 1, 2023, one of the holders converted 600 Series E Preferred Stock into 23,989,570 shares of common stock. The conversion represented their remaining Series E Preferred Stock outstanding as of that date, including the 10% increase, accrued dividends in kind of $516,000 and the 15% Exit Fee of $108,000.

 

Series G Preferred Stock

 

On December 1, 2023, the Board authorized the issuance of 10,000 preferred shares to be designated as Series G Preferred Stock (“Series G Preferred Stock”). The Series G Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.0001, a stated value of $1,200 and bear dividends at the rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly, to be paid in cash or in-kind, at the discretion of the Company. The Series G Preferred Stock will vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis subject to the beneficial ownership limitations. The Series G Preferred Stock is required to be redeemed by the Company no later than one calendar year from the date of its issuance. The Series G Preferred Stock is also redeemable at the option of the Company at any time after the original issued date, upon 3 business days’ notice, at a premium rate which is (a) 1.15 if all of the Series G Preferred Stock is redeemed within 90 calendar days from the issuance date thereof; (b) 1.2 if all of the Series G Preferred Stock is redeemed after 90 calendar days and within 120 calendar days from the issuance date thereof; (c) 1.25 if all of the Series G PS is redeemed after 120 calendar days and within 180 calendar days from the issuance date thereof. The Company shall be permitted to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock at any time in cash upon 3 business days prior notice to the Holder or the Holder may convert the Series G Preferred Stock within 3 business days period prior to redemption. The Holder shall have the right to either redeem for cash or convert the Series G Preferred Stock into common stock within 3 business days following the consummation of a qualified offering. The conversion price is based on the discounted market price which is the lower of: (i) A fixed price equaling the closing bid price for the common stock on the trading day preceding the execution of the SPA ; or (ii) 100% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP)” for the common stock during 10 trading days preceding the conversion request, subject to adjustment.

 

 

As the redemption feature is mandatorily redeemable within one year of the issuance date, with a substantive conversion option, the Series G Preferred Stock would not fall under liability classification but is to be classified as mezzanine equity.

 

Series G Preferred Equity Offering

 

On December 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of 110 shares of Series G Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share of preferred stock, for a total of $110,000.

Following the initial closing, the Company and Purchaser shall mutually agree from time to time for the Company to sell and the Purchaser to purchase up to 400 shares of Series G Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share in separate closings .
