Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company has 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share:

Series X1non-voting convertible preferred stock, 515,000 shares designated; 110,086 shares issued and outstanding, respectively, at each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023; and
Series X non-voting convertible preferred stock, 10,000 shares designated; 4,422 shares issued and outstanding, respectively, at each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Each share of the Series X1 or X non-voting convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) is convertible into 55.5556 shares of common stock, at the option of the holder at any time, subject to certain limitations, including, that the holder will be prohibited from converting the Preferred Stock into common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own a number of shares of common stock above a conversion blocker, which is initially set at 9.99% or 9.9% of the total common stock then issued and outstanding immediately following the conversion of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock or Series X1 Preferred Stock, respectively. The holder of the Preferred Stock is entitled to receive dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis and without regard to any beneficial ownership limitations) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock. No other dividends will be paid on shares of the Preferred Stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holder of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the Preferred Stock were fully converted to common stock, which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock. Shares of the Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of a majority of the holders of either series of outstanding Preferred Stock will be required to amend the terms of the such series.
