Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (which description is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02), 8,064,516 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”) were issued to Rob Glaser, Founder, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and significant shareholder of the Company in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $10 million.
The Series B Shares were sold by the Company to Mr. Glaser in a private placement without registration in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the 1933 Act.
Each of the Series B Shares is subject to the rights, preferences, limitations and powers as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, and is convertible into one share of Common Stock, provided, however, that no conversion is permitted in the event that such conversion would cause Mr. Glaser’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock to exceed the 38.5% threshold set forth in the Rights Plan.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted the Certificate of Designation, effective February 10, 2020, effectuating an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”). The Amendment functions to amend the Articles to set forth the rights, preferences, limitations and powers of the Series B Preferred Stock, which include, among other provisions, the right to proportional adjustment and the right to any dividends or distributions declared with regard to the Common Stock, no voting rights nor consent requirement for the taking of
corporate action, and limitations on transferability of the Series B Preferred Stock. Further, the Certificate of Designation provides that each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock, provided, however, that no conversion is permitted in the event that such conversion would cause Mr. Glaser’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock to exceed the 38.5% threshold set forth in the Rights Plan.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation is a summary, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the actual Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
