Commencing June 30, 2016, the shares of Series G Preferred are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at the rate of one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share of Series G Preferred so converted (the “Conversion Ratio”). No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Series G Preferred, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. If the Corporation at any time after the issuance date of a share of Series G Preferred subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time after the issuance date of a share of Series G Preferred combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
4. Redemption. The shares of Series G Preferred are not redeemable without the prior express written consent of the holders of the majority of the then outstanding shares of such Series G Preferred. In the event any shares of Series G Preferred shall be redeemed pursuant to this section, the shares so redeemed shall automatically be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.
5. Voting Rights. The Series G Preferred shall have voting rights same as Shareholder of common stock at a ratio of 1:1,000 (each share of the Series G Preferred has 1,000 shares of voting right as each share of common stock).
6. Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of the Series G Preferred then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its Shareholder, an amount per share equal to the Stated Value.
7. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series G Preferred are outstanding, the Corporation shall not without first obtaining the written approval of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of such Series G Preferred (i) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series G Preferred, or (ii) increase or decrease the total number of authorized shares of Series G Preferred Stock.
8. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of the Series G Preferred shall be entitled to rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class of the Corporation, whether now or hereinafter authorized, or of bonds or debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused these Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to be duly executed by its Chief Executive Officer as of this 10th day of February 2016.
