The rights and privileges of our Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock are as follows:

Series A Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 3,500,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 800,000 of these shares shall be designated as Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2019, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.  

Voting and Dividends.  The holder of each share of Preferred Stock has the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock could then be converted. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends from legally available assets prior to any declaration or payment of dividends to Common Stock holders. Dividends on each share of Preferred Stock are initially at $0.06429 per year payable when and as declared by the Board and are non-cumulative. After payment of such dividends, any additional dividends or distributions are distributed among all holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be held by each holder if all shares of Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock at the then effective conversion rate. To date, no dividends have been declared.

Liquidation.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds resulting from such liquidation event to holders of the Common Stock, an amount equal to $1.07143 plus declared but unpaid dividends. If, upon occurrence of such liquidation event, the proceeds are insufficient to permit the payment of the aforementioned amount in full, then the entire proceeds shall be distributed ratably among all holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amount each holder would otherwise receive.

Conversion.  Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into such number of fully paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the original issue price of each share of Preferred Stock by the applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price per share is $1.07143. Adjustments to the initial conversion price may result from a recapitalization event or changes in the number of common shares outstanding. Each share of Preferred Stock automatically converts into shares of fully paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock, at the then applicable conversion rate, upon the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class on an as-converted basis.

Redemption.  Upon a majority vote of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, we may, at our discretion, redeem or purchase shares of Preferred Stock. We also have a first right of refusal to repurchase shares of the Preferred Stock arising from a holder's proposal to sell such Preferred Stock.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 31,500,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Voting and Dividends.  Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote except for matters related to potential amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation or matters that solely relate to the terms of one or more outstanding series of our Preferred Stock. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, dividends pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held. These dividend rights are junior to those of the Preferred Stock holders’ rights to dividends.

Liquidation.  Liquidation preference of the Common Stock holders is junior to that of the Preferred Stock holders.

Redemption.  The Common Stock is not redeemable.

Share Repurchase

On April 27, 2017 (the “Authorization Date”), our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $8.0 million of our common stock through April 28, 2018. During the program period, we used $1,818,541 to acquire 209,922 shares of our common stock. We retired to treasury all of the repurchased shares.
