Note 11 – Mezzanine Equity and Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors is authorized to establish and designate different series of preferred stock and to fix and determine their voting powers and other rights and terms. The Company has 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Of this total, 49,626 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 800,000 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). There were nil shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and there were 419,959 and nil shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into ten shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Company may, at its option at any time after notice, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock that is outstanding, subject to conversion rights of the holder. The Series B Preferred Stock does not entitle the holders to voting rights, except with respect to certain actions which will require the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or as required by law.

The Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holders to cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 1.5% of the original issuance price, payable quarterly in cash. As of September 30, 2025, total accumulated and unpaid preferred dividends were $24,670. There were no accrued preferred dividends as of December 31, 2024.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will have the right upon the occurrence of certain triggering events that are not all solely within the control of the Company, as defined in the certificate of designation, to require the Company to redeem all or part of their Series B Preferred Stock for cash at a price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

Because the Series B Preferred Stock contains redemption features that are not solely within the control of the Company and may be triggered by events outside the Company’s control, the Series B Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity, in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A (SEC guidance on redeemable securities).

On September 3, 2024, Vuzix entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Quanta Computer Inc. (“Quanta”), for the sale by the Company to Quanta of (i) $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in two tranches.

second closing under the SPA resulting in the issuance of 189,717 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $26.35 per share.

The third closing under the SPA, for the sale of $5,000,000 of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock occurred on September 19, 2025, when the Company demonstrated the achievement of milestones required to complete the third closing under the SPA resulting in the issuance of 230,242 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $21.72 per share.
