Series H Convertible Preferred Stock

Under the terms of the Series H Certificate of Designation, each share of the Company’s Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) has a stated value of $154 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to the stated value divided by the conversion price of $184.80 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or dividends). The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially own more than 9.99%, in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon such conversion. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock are entitled, pari passu with the holders of common stock, to receive a payment in the amount the holder would receive if such holder converted the Series H Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of such payment. As of September 30, 2020, such payment would be calculated as follows:

Number of Series H Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020		8
Multiplied by the stated value	$	154
Equals the gross stated value	$	1,232
Divided by the conversion price	$	184.80
Equals the convertible shares of Company Common Stock		7
Multiplied by the fair market value of Company Common Stock as of September 30, 2020	$	2.96
Equals the payment	$	21

Series H-3 Convertible Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the Series H-3 Certificate of Designation (as defined below), the holders of the Company’s Series H-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H-3 Preferred Stock”) are entitled to elect up to two members of a seven member Board, subject to certain step downs; pursuant to the Series H-3 securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to effectuate the appointment of the designees specified by the Series H-3 investors as directors of the Company.

Under the terms of the Series H-3 Certificate of Designation, each share of the Series H-3 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $138 and is convertible into shares of common stock, equal to the stated value divided by the conversion price of $165.60 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and dividends). The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series H-3 Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.99%, in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series H-3 Preferred Stock.

In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Series H-3 Preferred Stock are entitled, pari passu with the holders of common stock, to receive a payment in the amount the holder would receive if such holder converted the Series H-3 Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of such payment. As of September 30, 2020, such payment would be calculated as follows:

Number of Series H-3 Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020		2,189

Multiplied by the fair market value of Company Common Stock as of September 30, 2020	$	2.96

Series H-6 Convertible Preferred Stock

On February 5, 2020, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock (the “Series H-6 Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing and designating the rights, powers and preferences of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock. The Company designated up to 50,000 shares of Series H-6 Preferred Stock and each share has a stated value of $72.00 (the “H-6 Stated Value”). Each share of Series H-6 Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into a number of shares of common stock of the Company determined by dividing the H-6 Stated Value by the initial conversion price of $3.60 per share, which was then further reduced to $2.50 under the anti-dilution adjustment provision, subject to a 9.99% blocker provision. The Series H-6 Preferred Stock has the same dividend rights as the common stock, except as provided for in the Series H-6 Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law. The Series H-6 Preferred Stock also has the same voting rights as the common stock, except that in no event shall a holder of Series H-6 Preferred Stock be permitted to exercise a greater number of votes than such holder would have been entitled to cast if the Series H-6 Preferred Stock had immediately been converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $3.60. In addition, a holder (together with its affiliates) may not be permitted to vote Series H-6 Preferred Stock held by such holder to the extent that such holder would beneficially own more than 9.99% of our common stock. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution, the Series H-6 Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock in the distribution of assets, to the extent legally available for distribution.

The holders of Series H-6 Preferred Stock are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable conversion price of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock. If any such dilutive issuance occurs prior to the conversion of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock, the conversion price will be adjusted downward to a price that cannot be less than 20% of the exercise price of $3.60.

In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock are entitled, pari passu with the holders of common stock, to receive a payment in the amount the holder would receive if such holder converted the Series H-6 Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of such payment. As of September 30, 2020, such payment would be calculated as follows:

Number of Series H-6 Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020		50
Multiplied by the stated value	$	72
Equals the gross stated value	$	3,600
Divided by the conversion price	$	2.50
Equals the convertible shares of Company Common Stock		1,440
Multiplied by the fair market value of Company Common Stock as of September 30, 2020	$	2.96
Equals the payment	$	4,262

In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided (by stock split, stock dividend, reverse split or otherwise), the shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock will be adjusted ratably to maintain each share’s ownership percentage. The Series Seed Preferred Stock Stockholders are entitled to equal voting rights to common stockholders on an as-converted basis and receive preference to common stockholders upon liquidation.

The Series I Warrants transferred to AYRO as a result of the Merger and have an exercise price of $69.00 per share. If at any time (i) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock exceeds $138.00 for not less than the mandatory exercise measuring period; (ii) the daily average number of shares of Common Stock traded during the mandatory exercise measuring period equals or exceeds 25,000; and (iii) no equity conditions failure has occurred as of such date, then the Company shall have the right to require the holder to exercise all or any portion of the Series I Warrants still unexercised for a cash exercise.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Series H-3 Warrants are immediately exercisable from the issuance date and will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the issuance date.

Exercise of Series H-4 Warrants and Issuance of Series J Warrants

Series H-4 Warrants

The Series H-4 Warrants transferred to AYRO as a result of the Merger and have an exercise price of $15.60. The Series H-4 Warrants contain anti-dilution price protection that was trigger and cannot be less than $15.60 per share.

The terms of the Series J Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Series H-4 Warrants except that (i) the exercise price is equal to $30.00, (ii) the Series J Warrants may be exercised at all times beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the issuance date on a cash basis and also on a cashless basis, (iii) the Series J Warrants do not contain any provisions for anti-dilution adjustment and (iv) the Company has the right to require the Holders to exercise all or any portion of the Series J Warrants still unexercised for a cash exercise if the volume-weighted average price (as defined in the Series J Warrant) for the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $45.00 for not less than ten consecutive trading days.

If at any time (i) the VWAP of the Common Stock exceeds $9.00 for not less than the mandatory exercise measuring period; (ii) the daily average number of shares of Common Stock traded during the mandatory exercise measuring period equals or exceeds 25,000; and (iii) no equity conditions failure has occurred as of such date, then the Company shall have the right to require the holder to exercise all or any portion of the Series J Warrants still unexercised for a cash exercise.

Series H-5 Warrants

The Series H-5 warrants were transferred to AYRO as a result of the Merger and have an exercise price of $2.50. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the H-5 Warrants will be exercisable beginning six months from the issuance date and will be exercisable for a period of five years from the initial exercise date.

The H-5 Warrants are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable exercise price (subject to a floor of $0.792 per share). An anti-dilution adjustment was triggered resulting in an adjusted exercise price per share from $3.96 to $2.50, resulting in an issuance of an additional 173,091 warrants that are exercisable at $2.50.

The Company considers the change in price due to the anti-dilution trigger related to the Series H-5 Warrants to be of an equity nature, as the issuance allowed the warrant holders to exercise warrants in exchange for common stock, which represents an equity for equity exchange. Therefore, the change in the fair value before and after the effect of the anti-dilution triggering event and the fair value of the Series H-5 warrants will be treated as a deemed dividend in the amount of $432,727. Cash received upon exercise in excess of par is accounted through additional paid in capital. The Company valued the deemed dividend as the difference between: (a) the modified fair value of the Series H-5 Warrants in the amount of $967,143 and (b) the fair value of the original award prior to the modification of $534,416. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of the modification and issuance using the following assumptions: (a) fair value of common stock $2.77, (b) expected volatility of 89.96%, (c) dividend yield of 0%, (d) risk-free interest rate of 0.24%, and (e) expected life of 5 years.

The Series H-5 warrants were exercisable beginning June 6, 2020.
