General
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held at all meetings of stockholders.
The Company’s initial certificate of incorporation authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. In October 2016, the Board and a majority of the holders of the Company’s common stock approved an amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation which, in part, eliminated the authorized preferred stock (“First Amended and Restated Charter”). In August 2018, the Board approved a second amendment and restatement of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Second Amended and Restated Charter”) to, in part, increase the Company’s authorized capital to a total of 110.0 million shares, including 10.0 million shares of newly created preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), remove the deemed liquidation provision, as such term is defined in the First Amended and Restated Charter, authorize the Board to fix the designation and number of each series of Preferred Stock, and to determine or change the designation, relative rights, preferences, and limitations of any series of Preferred Stock. The Second Amended and Restated Charter was approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders in September 2018, and was filed with the State of Delaware in November 2018.
On May 30, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Charter (“2023 Amendment”), increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000. The Company’s Board approved the amendment on March 17, 2023, and the Company obtained the approval of the 2023 Amendment by written consent of its stockholders holding greater than 50% of the voting securities of the Company on April 5, 2023.
On October 20, 2025, the Company filed the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Super League Enterprise, Inc. (the “Third Amended Certificate”). The Third Amended Certificate amended the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Charter to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 400,000,000 to 750,000,000; and (ii) to allow the vote of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock to amend their respective preferred stock certificates of designations, without requiring the approval of the holders of all voting securities of the Company. The Third Amended Certificate was also restated to include all amendments to the prior charters made pursuant to Certificates of Amendment after the filing of the Second Amended and Restated Charter. As of December 31, 2025, 3,517,835 shares of Common Stock were reserved for future issuance pursuant to outstanding unvested RSUs and stock options under the Company’s 2025 Plan, common stock purchase warrants and convertible preferred stock outstanding, as disclosed at Note 2.
Reverse Stock Splits
On January 16, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended Certificate, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-12 (the “2026 Reverse Split”) (the “2026 Amendment”). The 2026 Amendment became effective on January 23, 2026. As a result of the 2026 Reverse Split, every 12 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The 2026 Reverse Split was approved by the Company’s Board on January 2, 2026, and approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 9, 2025.
On June 17, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “June 2025 Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective as of June 23, 2025, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-40 (the “2025 Reverse Split”). As a result of the 2025 Reverse Split, every 40 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The 2025 Reverse Split was approved by the Company’s Board on June 2, 2025, and approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 9, 2025.
All references to common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the 2026 Reverse Split (and all other reverse splits described herein) for all periods presented.
Bylaw Amendment
On June 4, 2024, the Board approved an amendment (the “2024 Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective June 4, 2024, to reduce the number of shares that are required to be present at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders (a “Meeting”) for purposes of establishing a quorum. Prior to the 2024 Amendment, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock was required to establish a quorum for the transaction of business at a Meeting. As approved in the 2024 Amendment, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of not less than one-third () of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a Meeting.
The Board adopted the 2024 Amendment to more practically obtain a quorum and conduct business at a Meeting. The Board based its decision on the increasing prevalence of brokerage firms opting to forgo discretionary or proportionate voting of the shares held by them in street name, which is making it increasingly difficult for companies with a large retail stockholder base to obtain a quorum of the majority. The change to the quorum requirement was made to improve the Company’s ability to hold Meetings when called.

Common Stock Issuances - Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025
October 2025 PIPE Transaction
On October 22, 2025, October 24, 2025 and October 27, 2025, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “PIPE Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), relating to the Company’s offering of an aggregate of (a) 332,084 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price per share equal to $12.00 and (b) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,334,584 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a price per PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant equal to same price as that for PIPE Shares minus $0.00001, and the remaining exercise price of each PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant will equal $0.00001 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $20,000,000, before deducting offering costs and expenses (“October 2025 PIPE”). For each one PIPE Share or PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant purchased in the Offering, each Purchaser also received Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“PIPE Warrants”), to purchase one share of Common Stock (“PIPE Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $144.00 per share. The PIPE Shares, PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants and PIPE Warrants sold in the Offering are sometimes hereafter referred to as, the “PIPE Securities.” The October 2025 PIPE, which was comprised of three separate closings, had a final close date of October 27, 2025. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for repayment of existing indebtedness totaling $1.5 million, implementation of a new corporate strategy, general corporate purposes and working capital. In connection with the consummation of the October 2025 PIPE, as described below, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 766,667 shares of common stock to certain designees of the Lead Investor (as defined in the PIPE Placement Agreement) (“PIPE Lead Warrants”), as approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Under the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant, which percentage may be changed at the holder’s election to a higher or lower percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice to the Company. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, a holder of PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received had they exercised the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to the fundamental transaction. As of December 31, 2025, PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,187,500 shares of Common Stock were outstanding.
The Company and the Purchasers also executed a registration rights agreement (the “PIPE RRA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the PIPE Shares, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “PFW Shares”), and the PIPE Warrant Shares within thirty (30) days following the date of the issuance of the PIPE Securities, and to cause the PIPE RRA to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), no later than 90 days after the date on which the Purchase Agreements were entered. The related registration statement was declared effective on December 12, 2025.
The PIPE Warrants entitle the holders to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (or PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants) purchased in the Offering. The PIPE Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, expire five years from the date of issuance, and have an initial exercise price of $12.00 (the “Initial Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment in the event of any Warrant Dilutive Issuance (as defined below), or any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events (the Initial Exercise Price as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Warrant is referred to as, the “Exercise Price”).
The anti-dilution adjustments to the Exercise Price set forth that if the Company sells any shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, for effective consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such sale (the foregoing a “Warrant Dilutive Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of such Warrant Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the higher of (i) the New Issuance Price or (ii) the Warrant Floor Price (as defined below), provided, however, that no Exempt Issuance (as defined in the PIPE Warrants) shall be considered a Warrant Dilutive Issuance. The “Warrant Floor Price” means $6.84, such amount representing 20% of the Nasdaq Minimum Price of $34.20 on the date the Purchase Agreements were executed (the “PIPE Purchase Date”) (which price shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction).
The PIPE Warrants also contain a call feature, whereby, after the Company has registered the PIPE Warrant Shares on an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, and in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the PIPE Warrant from the Holder at a price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock underlying the PIPE Warrant (the “Call Option”), in the event the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock, as listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, is at or above $36.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days (the “Call Trigger”). The Company’s right to exercise the Call Option will begin on the day immediately following the Call Trigger until the day that is thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, by way of delivery of a notice to exercise the Call Option to the holders of the PIPE Warrants.
On October 22, 2025, the Company and Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “PIPE Placement Agreement”), pursuant to which Aegis acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the October 2025 PIPE. Pursuant to the PIPE Placement Agreement, the placement commission will be (I) (a) 2.0% for investments made by the Lead Investor (as defined in the PIPE Placement Agreement), and (b) 9.0% for all PIPE Securities placed by Aegis, excluding Lead Investor; (II) if investments placed by Aegis equal $5 million or more, the Company will pay Aegis an additional fee of $125,000; (III) Aegis will also receive a fee of 9.0% of the proceeds from the cash exercise of any warrants purchased by investors, excluding the Lead Investor, in each case payable on exercise; and (IV) as additional compensation for Aegis’s services, the Company shall issue to Aegis or its designees at the consummation of the October 2025 PIPE, warrants (the “PIPE Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of PIPE Shares and PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Placement other than to the Lead Investor. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable at any time beginning and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the five (5) years commencing on the commencement of sales in the Placement, at a price per share equal to 100.0% of the offering price per share of the PIPE Securities sold in the October 2025 PIPE and such Placement Agent Warrants shall be exercisable on a cash basis or cashless basis.
The Company allocated the proceeds between the PIPE Securities based on the relative fair values of the PIPE Securities in accordance with ASC 505, “Equity.” The fair value of the common stock was based on the Company’s closing stock price on the respective closing dates, ranging from $22.20 per share to $31.20 per share.
The October 2025 PIPE proceeds, and related offering costs were allocated to the PIPE Securities issued as follows:
The amount allocated to the PIPE Shares was recorded in Common Stock (par value) and Additional Paid-In Capital in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. The amounts allocated to the PIPE Pre-Funded warrants and PIPE Warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital as the PIPE Warrants and PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants are equity-classified.
Offering costs, including placement agent fees, legal fees and accountant related expenses were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in proportion to the allocation of proceeds between the equity instruments issued, as summarized above.
Additional financing costs incurred in connection with the October 2025 PIPE, included the issuance of the following additional common stock purchase warrants.
The fair value of the PIPE Warrants, PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, PIPE Lead Warrants and PIPE Placement Agent Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

On May 30, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May III Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors, which provided for the sale and issuance by the Company in a registered direct offering (the “May III Offering”) of an aggregate of (i) 6,646 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $57.60 per share (the “May III Shares”), and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 4,987 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $57.48 per pre-funded warrant (the “May III Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the May III Shares, the “May III Securities”), which represents the per share price for the May III Shares less the exercise price of $0.00001 per share. The May III Offering closed on June 2, 2025. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the May III Offering were approximately $670,000, before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses.

On May 29, 2025, the Underwriter delivered notice to the Company that it elected to exercise the May II Option with respect to an aggregate of 869 May II Option Securities. The closing of the sale of the May II Option Shares occurred on May 30, 2025.

The term of the YP Equity Purchase Agreement began on the YP Execution Date and ends on the earlier of (i) the date on which Yield Point shall have purchased shares of common stock issued, or that the Company shall be entitled to issue, per any applicable Put Notice in accordance with the terms and conditions of the YP Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Put Stock”) equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount (as defined in the YP Equity Purchase Agreement), (ii) the date that is thirty-six (36) months from the date the registration statement is declared effective, (iii) written notice of termination by the Company to Yield Point (which shall not occur at any time that Yield Point holds any of the shares of Put Stock, or within 30 days of the sale to Yield Point of Put Stock), or (iv) written notice of termination by Yield Point to the Company (the “Commitment Period”).
During the Commitment Period, the Company may direct Yield Point to purchase shares of Put Stock by delivering a notice (a “Put Notice”) to Yield Point. The Company shall, in its sole discretion, select the number of shares of Put Stock requested by the Company in each Put Notice. However, such amount may not exceed the Maximum Put Amount (as defined in the YP Equity Purchase Agreement). The purchase price to be paid by Yield Point for the shares of Put Stock will be ninety-two percent (92%) of the lowest VWAP for a trading day on the Principal Market during the Valuation Period (as defined in the YP Equity Purchase Agreement).
In consideration for Yield Point’s execution and delivery of, and performance under the YP Equity Purchase Agreement, on the Execution Date, the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock (the “YP Pre-Funded Warrant”) to Yield Point in a form acceptable to Yield Point in its sole discretion and having an exercise price per share of $0.001 (the “Commitment Stock”) having a value of $600,000 based on closing price of the common stock on July 9, 2025.

Hudson Equity Line of Credit
On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Hudson Global Ventures, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Hudson”). Pursuant to the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Hudson, and Hudson is obligated to purchase, up to $2.9 million of newly issued shares (the “Hudson Total Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock, from time to time during the term of the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions (the “Hudson Offering” or “Hudson ELOC”). As consideration for Hudson’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Hudson Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Hudson 625 shares of common stock, valued at $159,000, following the execution of the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Hudson Commitment Shares”).
From and after the initial satisfaction of the conditions to the Company’s right to commence sales to Hudson under the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement (such event, the “Hudson Commencement,” and the date of initial satisfaction of all such conditions, the “Hudson Commencement Date”), the Company was able to direct Hudson to purchase shares of common stock at a purchase price per share equal to the lesser of (i) 92% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as listed on Nasdaq, on the trading day immediately preceding the respective Put Date (the “Hudson Initial Purchase Price”), or (ii) 92% of the lowest closing price of the Company’s common stock, as listed on Nasdaq, on any trading day during the period beginning on the Put Date (as defined in the Hudson Purchase Agreement) and continuing through the date that is three trading days immediately following the Clearing Date (as defined in the Hudson Purchase Agreement) associated with the applicable Hudson Put Notice (such three trading day period is the “Hudson Valuation Period”, and the price is the “Hudson Market Price”), on such date on which the Hudson Purchase Price is calculated in accordance with the terms of the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement. The Company controlled the timing and amount of any such sales of common stock to Hudson.

Preferred Stock
Filing of Certificates of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Convertible Preferred Stock – For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Series AAAA Junior Preferred Stock. On July 11, 2025, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations (“COD”) of the Series AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock (the “AAAA Jr. COD”), designating 3,775,047 shares of Series AAAA Jr. Convertible Preferred Stock (the “AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock”) in connection with the entry into the SB Exchange Agreements.
Each share of AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations and primary market limitations as set forth in each AAAA Jr. COD, into such number of shares of the Common Stock, equal to the number of AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $1.00, divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion (the initial conversion price is equal to the Nasdaq Minimum Price, plus $0.01, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions). Holders of the AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, payable in the form of that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 60% of the shares of Common Stock underlying the AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock upon issuance, provided that the holder holds at least 1% of the AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock on January 1, 2026. In addition, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, holders of AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a holder’s right to participate in any dividend in shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled would result in such holder exceeding the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, then such holder shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend to such extent and the portion of such shares that would cause such holder to exceed the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such holder until such time, if ever, as such holder’s beneficial ownership thereof would not result in such holder exceeding the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations). Subject to certain limitations as more specifically set forth in the AAAA Jr. COD, the holders of Series AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class, on an as-converted basis.
Series B Preferred Stock. On September 12, 2025, the Company filed the COD of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B COD”), designating 16,426 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) in connection with the entry into the 2025 AB Exchange Agreements, as described below.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible (i) at the sole discretion of the Company at any time, (ii) mandatorily on February 11, 2026, and/or (iii) at the option of the holder, each conversion method being subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations and primary market limitations as set forth in the Series B COD, into such number of shares of the Common Stock, equal to the number of Preferred Stock to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $1,000, divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion (the initial conversion price equal to $84.00, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions). Holders of Series B Preferred will be entitled to receive dividends, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a holder’s right to participate in any dividend in shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled would result in such holder exceeding the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, then such holder shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend to such extent and the portion of such shares that would cause such holder to exceed the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such holder until such time, if ever, as such holder’s beneficial ownership thereof would not result in such holder exceeding the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations. Subject to certain limitations as more specifically set forth in the Series B COD, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class, on an as-converted basis.
The Series B Preferred Stock, with respect to distributions of assets and rights upon the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company rank senior to the Common Stock, the Series AA Preferred, the Series AAA Preferred, and Series AAA Jr. Preferred, but junior to any future series of Preferred Stock issued by the Company.
Series C Preferred Stock. On October 22, 2025, the Company filed the COD of the Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C COD”), designating 4,700 shares of Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series C Preferred”), in connection with the YP Exchange Agreement (as defined above). Pursuant to the Series C COD, the Series C Preferred Stock, among other terms: (i) ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, senior to all classes of Common Stock and each other class or series of equity security of the Company which is not expressly senior or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock ; (ii) the Series C Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding until the Series C Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock either optionally by the holder or automatically pursuant to its terms described below, and will automatically be converted into Common Stock on the eighteen-month anniversary of effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock ; (iii) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock when converted, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, will have a conversion price of $12.00, with a stated value of $1,000; and (iv) subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series C COD, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class, on an as-converted basis.
The Series C COD includes a beneficial ownership limitation such that a holder thereof does not have the right to convert any portion of the Series C Preferred if such holder (together with its affiliates or any other persons acting together as a group with such holder) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series C Preferred, or, upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred.
Fiscal Year 2024 and Prior Filings of Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Convertible Preferred Stock – General

Conversion Feature. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of preferred shares to be converted, multiplied by the applicable stated value, divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, certain fundamental transactions and future issuances of equity securities, as described herein. The conversion price is equal to the “Minimum Price,” as defined in NASDAQ Rule 5635(d)(1), on the Preferred Stock Offering closing date.
Voting Rights. Each individual series of preferred stock shall vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis, and not as a separate class, subject to the primary market limitations, except that holders of each individual series of preferred stock shall vote as a separate class with respect to (a) amending, altering, or repealing any provision of the respective series’ COD in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the series, (b) increasing the number of authorized shares of the series, (c) authorizing or issuing an additional class or series of capital stock that ranks senior to or pari passu with the existing series with respect to the distribution of assets on liquidation, or (d) entering into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

Holders of the Series AAA Junior Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, payable in the form of that number of shares of common stock equal to 20% of the shares of common stock underlying the Series AAA Junior Preferred Stock then held by such holder on the 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day anniversaries of the filing Date.

Registration Rights. The Company and Yield Point in the Preferred Stock Offerings (including the Exchange) also executed separate registration rights agreements, pursuant to which the Company filed applicable registration statements on Form S-3.
The following additional terms vary across the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock as follows:
Convertible Preferred Stock
On the dates set forth in the table below, the Company entered into subscription agreements with accredited investors in connection with the sale of newly designated Series of Convertible Preferred Stock, each series having a $0.001 per share par value and a $1,000 per share purchase price (except for Series AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock which have a stated value of $1.00 per share), hereinafter collectively referred to as “Convertible Preferred Stock, and the individual offerings of preferred stock referred to by the combination of “Series” and the specific letter designation of each series (i.e., “Series A Preferred Stock Offering” refers to the Series A preferred stock offering, and “Series A Preferred Stock” refers to Series A convertible preferred stock), and each series of Convertible Preferred Stock issued, collectively referred to as “Preferred Stock Offerings,” as follows (rounded to the nearest thousands, except preferred share and conversion price data):
Placement Agent Fees. The Company sold and/or exchanged the shares of preferred stock pursuant to placement agency agreements (the “Placement Agency Agreements”) with Aegis Capital Corporation, a registered broker dealer, which acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for each series of the Preferred Stock Offerings and the Exchange (as described below). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreements, in connection with the Preferred Stock Offerings and the Exchange, the Company paid the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee and non-accountable expense allowance as described in the table above by series, and have or will issue to the Placement Agent or its designees warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase common stock at the amounts and conversion prices disclosed in the table above. With respect to shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Exchange, the Placement Agent exchanged previously issued placement agent warrants to purchase 185 shares of common stock of the Company that were issued in connection with the Series A and Series AA Preferred Stock offerings, at exercise prices ranging from $3,648.00 to $6,436.80 per share, for new placement agent warrants to purchase a total of 724 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $803.52 per share and 417 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $820.80 per share.
Exchange of Series AA, AAA and AAA Junior Preferred Stock for Series B Preferred Stock
On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended & Restated Exchange Agreement, Consent and Waiver (the “2025 AB Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders (the “2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders”) of the Company’s Series AA, AAA and AAA Junior Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“2025 Exchanged Preferred Stock”), pursuant to which the Company and the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders agreed that in exchange for the shares of 2025 Exchanged Preferred Stock held by the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders, the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders were granted shares of the Company’s newly issued Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“2025 Exchange”). Up to an aggregate of 16,426 shares of Series B Preferred stock is issuable pursuant to the 2025 AB Exchange Agreements.
In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders, among other things, (i) agreed to terminate their additional investment rights, or AIRs, granted to them in their respective subscription agreements; (ii) waived any issuances by the Company of securities below the respective prior conversion price floors prior to the Exchange; (iii) waived any incurrence of indebtedness by the Company prior to the Exchange; (iv) agreed, for a period of six months following the date of the Exchange Agreements, to attend any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders and vote their shares in accordance with management’s recommendation; and (v) provided a general release of the Company from any obligations that may exist under the terms of the Preferred Stock.
The 2025 Exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2025 Exchanged Preferred Stock, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the new / modified preferred stock and the carrying value of the original preferred stock, totaling 7,685,000, was recognized as a decrease to accumulated deficit and a decrease in additional-paid-in capital in the balance sheet, as a deemed dividend.
On October 20, 2025, the Company issued certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 194,422 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrants”) to the holders of shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Holders”) (“Series B Preferred Modification”). Each Series B Warrant has an exercise price per share equal to $12.00 (the “Series B Exercise Price”). The Series B Warrants will be available for exercise only upon the first trading day following the one year anniversary of the Company’s issuance of the Series B Warrants, unless prior written approval is received from the Company during such one-year period, as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Warrant Stockholder Approval” and the first trading day following the one year anniversary of the Company’s receipt of Warrant Stockholder Approval being, the “Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date”).
Each Series B Warrant offered will become exercisable beginning on the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date at the Series B Exercise Price, and will expire on the date that is one year from the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date, subject to the right to exercise during such one-year period with the prior written approval of the Company; provided that holders of the Series B Warrants will have the right to exercise their Series B Warrants during the time beginning on date the Company receives the Warrant Stockholder Approval and the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date in the event of a change of Control or other fundamental change (each as defined in the Series B Warrant).
The Series B Preferred Modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the new / modified preferred stock and the carrying value of the original preferred stock, totaling $6,296,000, was recognized as an increase to accumulated deficit and an increase in additional paid-in capital in the balance sheet, as a deemed dividend.
Direct costs incurred in connection with the Series B Preferred Modification included the issuance of 29,167 common stock purchase warrants to the placement agent, with terms and conditions identical to PIPE Warrants, with a fair value of $945,000, which are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
Exchange of Series A and AA for Series AAA Preferred Stock
In November and December 2023, in connection with the closing of the Series AAA Preferred rounds, the Company entered into certain Series A Exchange Agreements (the “Series A Agreements”) and Series AA Exchange Agreements (the “Series AA Agreements”, and collectively with the Series A Agreements, the “Series Exchange Agreements”), with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, and Series AA Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the Holders exchanged an aggregate of 6,367 shares of Series A Preferred and/or Series AA Preferred, for an aggregate of 6,367 shares of Series AAA Preferred (the “Exchange”). The Exchange closed concurrently with the closing of the Series AAA Preferred Stock Offerings.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants – Liability Classified
Series AAA Junior-3 and Series AAA Junior-4 Warrants. The Series AAA Junior-3 and Series AAA Junior-4 subscription agreements entered into in September 2024, included the sale of an aggregate of 1,096 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of newly designated Series AAA-3 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock or Series AAA-4 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock, as reflected in the table above, and (ii) a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,096,000.
The Investor Warrants are exercisable at $480.00 per share at the option of the holder, subject to adjustment, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire three years from the respective issue dates of the Units, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. The Investor Warrants contain customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other corporate events, and contain price-based anti-dilution protections. Any price-based anti-dilution adjustments were conditioned on, and subject to, stockholder approval, which was received on June 9, 2025.
The September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrant agreements also contain a provision that states that, upon exercise of the warrant by an investor, if for any reason the Company fails to deliver the shares by the settlement date, the investor can require the Company to make a cash payment (“Buy-In Provision”). The cash payment would be based on the amount (if any) that the investor lost by having to purchase shares in the open market because of the Company’s failure to deliver the shares.
As a result of the Buy-In Provision, the ability to deliver shares upon exercise of the Investor Warrants in some circumstances may not be generally within the control of the Company as contemplated by the accounting standards, and thus, a partial cash settlement may be required outside of the Company’s control. As such, the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants do not meet the requirements for equity classification, and therefore, the fair value of the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheets and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Refer to the table below.
Placement Agent Warrants. The Placement Agent Warrants issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series AA Preferred Stock and Series AAA Preferred Stock (including the Exchange), described above, include provisions that are triggered in the event of the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the underlying warrant agreement, which contemplates the potential for certain transactions that result in a third-party acquiring more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company for cash or other assets. Given the existence of multiple classes of voting stock for the Company, as described above, the Fundamental Transaction provisions in the warrant agreements could result in a 50% or more change in ownership of outstanding common stock, without a 50% change in voting interests. As such, the Placement Agent Warrants are not eligible for the scope exception under ASC 815, and therefore, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheets and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Refer to the table below.
The fair value and change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities related to the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, measured using Level 3 inputs, and the related income statement impact was comprised of the following for the applicable periods presented, as of December 31:
The fair value of the warrants described above was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions for the applicable dates:
Preferred Stock Dividends
The Company paid or accrued common stock dividends on outstanding preferred stock for the periods presented as follows:
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025:
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024:
Dividend Acceleration
In connection with the 2025 AB Exchange Agreements, remaining Series AAA and AAA-2 Preferred Stock dividends totaling 7,407 shares of Common Stock, originally payable in November and December 2025, were accelerated as of the date of the exchange. The fair value of the accelerated dividends totaled $190,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on October 24, 2025, the date of issuance, which is reflected as a charge to accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025.
In June 2024, certain existing holders of Series A, AA and AAA Preferred Stock executed Series AAA Junior Preferred Stock Offering related dividend acceleration agreements (“June 2024 Dividend Acceleration Agreements”) pursuant to which, in exchange for participation in the Series AAA Junior Preferred Stock Offering at or above a predefined threshold, all applicable remaining common stock dividends related to their existing Series A, AA and / or AAA Preferred Stock holdings were accelerated. A total of 1,923 shares of common stock dividends were paid in July 2024 pursuant to the June 2024 Dividend Acceleration Agreements, with a fair value of $729,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, which was reflected as a charge to accumulated deficit.
Modifications to Series AA Additional Investment Rights
In June 2024, certain holders of Series AA Preferred Stock with outstanding Additional Investment Rights arising from the Series AA Preferred Stock Offering (“Series AA AIRs”), in exchange for certain Series AAA Junior Preferred Stock Offering related approvals, received (i) a six (6) month extension of the exercise period of such Series AA AIRs; and (ii) an adjustment to the conversion prices for such Series AA AIRs, to the existing conversion price floors for each respective subseries of Series AA Preferred Stock, as described in the table above. In addition, a -month extension to the term of the Additional Investment Rights issued to holders of Series AAA Preferred Stock (“Series AAA AIRs”) (the issuance of such Series AAA AIRs being subject to approval of stockholders), such that the Series AAA AIRs shall expire 21-months from the final closing of Series AAA Preferred Stock Offering.
The Company utilized an option pricing model, employing the back solve method for purposes of determining the implied common stock value of the Company for input into a Black Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the AIRs immediately before and after the modifications described above, using Level 3 inputs. Weighted average assumptions utilized in the Black Scholes option pricing model included a $412.80 implied common stock price, conversion prices ranging from $905.28 to $6,360.00 (based on the applicable original and modified preferred stock conversion prices), risk free interest rates ranging from 5.13% to 5.36%, terms ranging from 0.42 years to 0.92 years and volatility assumptions ranging from 79% to 91%.
In connection with the modification to the Series AA AIRs described above, Series AA AIRs with initial underlying common shares totaling 1,340, were modified as described above, resulting in an incremental increase in fair value totaling $294,000 which was charged to additional paid-in capital as a Series AAA Junior Preferred Stock Offering financing costs in June 2024. As a result of the reduction of the Series AA AIRs conversion price, total common shares underlying the modified Series AA AIRs increased to 6,699 shares.
All AIRs outstanding were canceled in connection with the 2025 AB Exchange Agreements.
