Common Stock

 

In the first nine months of 2019, the Company issued 2,591,152 shares of common stock upon conversion of $1,162,374 in principal and interest on senior convertible notes.

 

On August 14, 2019, the Company’s CEO Anthony Cataldo received as compensation a restricted stock award of 7,000,000 common shares and the Company’s CFO Steven Weldon received as compensation a restricted stock award of 4,500,000 common shares. Also, two Company consultants were paid as compensation a restricted stock award of 1,000,000 common shares each.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On September 1, 2017, the Company designated 2,000,000 shares of Series J Preferred Stock. Shares of Series J Preferred Stock will have the same voting rights as shares of common stock with each share of Series J Preferred Stock entitled to one vote at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation. Shares of Series J Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by our board of directors. The holders of the Series J Preferred Stock will participate, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock basis, in any dividends to the holders of common stock. Each share of the Series J Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder.

 

On the same day, the Board issued 1,513, 548 of those shares in exchange for the cancellation of debt.  In the first quarter of 2019, it was discovered that a certificate of designation with respect to the Series J Preferred Stock had never been filed with the Office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware.  Legal research determined that despite the fact the Company had issued shares of Series J Preferred Stock, those shares had, in fact, never existed.

 

To remedy the situation, on April 4, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Office of the Secretary State for the State of Delaware designating a series of preferred stock as Series J-1 Preferred Stock.  On April 19, 2019, the Company issued 2,353,548 of those shares.  The issuance was in lieu of the preferred stock that should have been issued on September 1, 2017, and in settlement for not receiving preferred stock until 20 months after the debt for which the stock was issued was cancelled. The Company reflected an expense in general and administrative costs in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaling $1,140,000.

 

The Shares are convertible into shares of common stock of the Registrant at the rate of $0.60 per share.  The issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) of the same Act since the issuance of the Shares did not involve any public offering.  

 

350,000 of the Series J shares of preferred stock had been previously converted into 350,000 shares of common stock in December 2017.
