During March 2020, the Company ceased operations at Digital Farms, Inc. (“Digital Farms”), the Company’s blockchain mining subsidiary, and I.AM, Inc. (“I.AM”). Management determined that the permanent closing of the restaurant operations at I.AM, which owned and operated the Prep Kitchen brand restaurants located in the San Diego area, met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the restaurant operations segment are presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and are excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. On March 14, 2019, pursuant to the authorization provided by the Company’s stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “COI Amendment”) to effectuate a reverse stock split of the of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, $0.001 par value per share, (“Common Stock”) by a ratio of one-for-twenty (the “First Stock Split”). At the Company’s 2019 reconvened Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal permitting the Board to effectuate a second reverse stock split (the “Second Stock Split”) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Thereafter, on July 23, 2019, the Board approved the Second Stock Split with a ratio of one-for-forty. The Second Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock or their par value per share. As a result of the Second Stock Split, each forty shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Second Stock Split were converted into one share of common stock. The Second Stock Split became effective in the State of Delaware on August 5, 2019. All share amounts in these financial statements have been updated to reflect these reverse stock splits. On January 19, 2021, the Company changed its name from DPW Holdings, Inc., to Ault Global Holdings, Inc. The Name Change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated January 7, 2021. The merger and resulting name change do not affect the rights of security holders of the Company. The Common Stock continues to be listed on the NYSE American and trades under the symbol “DPW”.
