- F2Each share of Series B entitles the holder to 1,000 votes at any meeting where corporate matters are brought before the shareholders for a vote. The Series B is restricted, unregistered stock which is not convertible until the second annual anniversary after the date of issue, after which each share is freely convertible into 1,000 restricted, unregistered shares of common stock. In the event of a sale or change of control of the Corporation, the Series B shall become immediately convertible. The anti-dilution award of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. Coates was determined to be the number of shares of Series B required to restore Mr. Coates' ownership percentage of outstanding common stock on a pro forma basis to 80.1%, assuming all of the Series B shares were converted into common stock.
