Withdrawal of Designation
On April 11, 2025, we filed a Withdrawal of Designation relating to the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Withdrawal of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and terminated the designation of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. At the time of the filing of the Withdrawal of Designation, no shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding. The Withdrawal of Designation was effective upon filing and eliminated from the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, all matters set forth in the previously-filed Certificate of Designation with respect to the previously designated Series F Convertible Preferred Stock.
