6. Preferred Stock

The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, which may have such preferences and priorities over the Company’s common stock and other rights, powers and privileges as the Board may establish in its discretion.

In January 2022, the Company filed a “Certificate of Designation of Series “B” Preferred Stock of SPAR Group, Inc.” (the “Preferred Designation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which created a series of 2,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock designated as “Series B” convertible preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share. In January 2022, 2,000,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock were issued to the majority stockholders and related parties pursuant to the Change of Control, Voting and Restricted Stock Agreement. See Note 8.

Shares of Series B convertible preferred stock do not carry any voting or dividend rights and upon vesting, are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-to-1.5.  See Note 8. The holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock have a liquidation preference over the Company’s common stock and vote together for matters pertaining only to the Series B convertible preferred stock where only the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote. The holders of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock do not have the right to vote for directors or other matters submitted to the holders of the Company’s common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 204,753 shares of Series B convertible preferred stockconverted to 307,130 shares of the Company’s common stock.  As of September 30, 2023, 650,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock were outstanding, which upon vesting, will convert to 975,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. 

Following the remaining Series B convertible preferred stock shares converting to common stock and when there are no more shares of Series B convertible preferred stock outstanding, the Company may change or cancel the authorized Series B convertible preferred stock, and to the extent it reduces such authorization without issuance, the Company can create other series of preferred stock with potentially different dividends, preferences and other terms.
