Note 7 - Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of September 30, 2023, we had 1,983,250 designated shares of preferred stock and 5,146 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, we had no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

As of the filing of this report, the Company has 2,278 shares of Series F Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. See Note 12 - Subsequent Events for further information.

Series F Preferred Stock

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a Private Placement (i) 6,550 shares of our newly designated Series F Preferred Stock, (ii) Preferred Warrants to acquire 32,750 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and (iii) Common Warrants to acquire up to 3,830,417 shares of Common Stock. Please refer to Note 6 - Capital Stock for further discussion on the Common Warrants. The terms of the Series F Preferred Stock are as set forward in the Certificate of Designations of Series F Preferred Stock of Oblong, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”), which was filed and became effective with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2023. The Private Placement closed on March 31, 2023, in exchange for gross and net proceeds of $6,386,000 and $5,435,000, respectively.

All of the Preferred Shares and Investor Warrants were issued at the Closing, but part of the purchase price equivalent to $4,000,000 was placed into an escrow account with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow”), to be released upon our obtaining stockholder approval permitting the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock at less than the Minimum Price (as defined under the Nasdaq Rules) in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards and as otherwise may be required (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Company received the Stockholder Approval via a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on May 18, 2023, and the funds were released from escrow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $5,435,000 in net proceeds. The financing fees associated with the Purchase Agreement were $951,000.

The Series F Preferred Shares are convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.71 (the “Conversion Price”). The holders of the Series F Preferred Shares may also elect to convert their shares at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the applicable Conversion Price as in effect on the date of the conversion, (ii) 80% of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the conversion notice, and (iii) the greater of (a) the Floor Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and (b) the quotient of (x) the sum of the five lowest Closing Bid Prices (as defined in the
Certificate of Designations) for trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, divided by (y) five. The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combination recapitalization, or other similar transactions involving the Common Stock, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a full ratchet basis, in the event of any issuances of our common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions).

On October 6, 2023, the Company and Investors holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock agreed to waive any and all provisions, terms, covenants and obligations in the Certificate of Designations or Common Warrants to the extent such provisions permit the conversion or exercise of the Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants, respectively, to occur at a price below $0.2792. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, each of the “Alternate Conversion Price” and the “Floor Price” as set forth in the Certificate of Designations shall in no event be less than $0.2792 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events).

Under the Certificate of Designations, the Series F Preferred Shares have an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”). The holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 9% per annum, which will be payable in arrears quarterly. Accrued dividends may be paid, at our option, in cash and if not paid, shall increase the stated value of the Series F Preferred Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Series F Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 20% per annum (the “Default Rate”). The Series F Preferred Shares have no voting rights, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series F Preferred Shares. On matters with respect to which the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares have a right to vote, holders of the Preferred Shares will have voting rights on an as-converted basis.

Our ability to settle conversions is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Further, the Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares.

The Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), including, among other things, (i) the failure to file and maintain an effective registration statement covering the sale of the holder’s securities registrable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares when due, and (iii) if Peter Holst ceases to be the chief executive officer of the Company other than because of his death, and a qualified replacement, reasonably acceptable to a majority of the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares, is not appointed within thirty (30) business days. In connection with a Triggering Event, the Default Rate is triggered. We are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, acquisition transactions, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designations), maintenance of properties and the transfer of assets, among other matters.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 1,229 and 1,404 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, plus accrued dividends, were converted to 1,964,750 and 2,111,337 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. There were 5,146 shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding and accrued dividends of $235,502 as of September 30, 2023. Series F Preferred Stock transactions are summarized in the table below:

Series F Preferred Stock Warrants

The Preferred Warrants are exercisable for Series F Preferred Shares at an exercise price of $975. The exercise price is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combination recapitalizations or other similar transactions involving the Common Stock. The Preferred Warrants expire three years from the date of issuance and are exercisable for cash. For each Preferred Warrant exercised, the Investors shall receive Common Warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock the Investors would receive if the Series F Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant were converted at the applicable Conversion Price. The fair value of the Preferred Warrants was recorded within additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, no Preferred Warrants have been exercised.
