ACTION TAKEN

 

This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the action approved by the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Majority Stockholders.

 

APPROVAL OF (I) EXERCISE OF SERIES B WARRANTS AND SERIES C WARRANTS ON AN ALTERNATIVE CASHLESS EXERCISE BASIS BY USING A VWAP IN THE CALCULATION OF SUCH EXERCISE THAT IS BELOW TWENTY PERCENT (20%) OF THE PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK IN THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND (II) EXERCISE OF EACH SERIES B WARRANT AND SERIES C WARRANT TO BE EXERCISABLE AT ANY EXERCISE PRICE BELOW $8.5000 PER SHARE TO BE DECIDED BY THE BOARD.

 

Pursuant to its initial public offering (the “IPO”), the Company issued 1,400,000 units (the “Units”), each consisting of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”); (ii) one Series A Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock; and (iii) one Series B Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (a “Series B Warrant”).

 

Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company also issued 495,076 Series C Warrants (each, a “Series C Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock each to certain holders. The Series C Warrants have the same terms and conditions of the Series B Warrants, except that the Series C Warrants will not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and will not be listed on any stock exchange.

 

The holders of a Series B Warrant and the holders of a Series C Warrant may, at any time and in their sole discretion, exercise such Series B Warrants or Series C Warrants in whole or in part by means of an “alternative cashless exercise” in which a holder shall be entitled to receive, without the payment of additional consideration, a number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise that will equal the product of (a) the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of such warrant in accordance with the terms of such warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise and (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the exercise price minus the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the ten trading days immediately prior to the applicable exercise date by (ii) 50% of the lowest VWAP during the ten trading days immediately prior to the applicable exercise date. The Series B Warrants and the Series C Warrants may not be exercised on an alternative cashless exercise basis by using a VWAP in the calculation of such exercise that is below twenty percent (20%) of the public offering price of the common stock in the IPO (the “Floor Price”) until such lower VWAP is approved by the stockholders of the Company.

 

Our Common Stock’s listing on the Cboe BZX Exchange subjects us to Cboe BZX Exchange Rules. The issuance of shares of Common Stock in a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable Common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock triggers Exchange Rule 14.10(i)(4) requiring prior stockholder approval to maintain our listing.

 

On February 26, 2024, the Board approved the following (“Actions”):

 

(1)Exercise of the Warrants on an alternative cashless basis using a VWAP in the calculation of such exercise that is below the Floor Price.

 

(2)Exercise of each Warrant at any exercise price below $8.5000 per share (which was 200% of IPO price per Unit of 4.2500 per Unit) to be by the Board.

 

Section 17-16-724 of the Wyoming Statutes and our bylaws provide that actions requiring a vote of the stockholders may be approved by written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The approval by at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of our voting securities is required to approve the Reverse Stock Split and the decrease in the authorized shares of common stock.
