On July 17, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State designating, 60,000 shares as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), each with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”).

Terms not otherwise defined in this item shall have the meanings given in the Certificate of Designation.
The following is a summary of the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock:
Dividends. At all times following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, while shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis and without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein or otherwise) to and in the same form as dividends (which shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation) actually paid on shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) when, as and if such dividends (which shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation) are paid on shares of the Common Stock.

Voting Rights. Subject to certain limitations described in the Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred Stock is voting stock. The issuance of preferred stock has limited voting power, such that the preferred stock would vote as if converted at the “Nasdaq Minimum Price” as defined in Listing Rule 5635(d)(1), on the date of issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be permitted to vote in excess of 19.99% until shareholder approval for the Series B Preferred Stock is obtained.
Liquidation. Upon any Liquidation (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all shares of Series B Preferred Stock as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation immediately prior to such Liquidation, without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the Certificate of Designation or otherwise.
Conversion. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designation, at the option of the holder, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into a number shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the Stated Value of each such share of Series B Preferred Stock by the conversion price of $0.392 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment, pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Amendment, in the event of stock dividends and stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions, and fundamental transactions.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Certificate of Designation, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company hereby affirms its commitment to maintaining shareholder value and compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. As part of this commitment, the Company has ceased all forms of dilutive financing and does not intend to engage in any such transactions moving forward. Management recognizes the impact that past dilutive financing activities may have had on shareholder equity and market perception, and has taken concrete steps to pursue alternative, non-dilutive funding strategies to support the Company's long-term growth and stability. The Company is fully committed to transparent and responsible capital management in alignment with the expectations of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
