Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On February 16, 2018 we closed an offering of 17,979 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B preferred stock issued in the offering is convertible into shares of the company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share, which means that each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible into 2,500 shares of common stock without additional consideration.

 

From January 1, 2019 through March 6, 2019, we issued 2,715,000 shares of our common stock upon the conversion of 1,086 shares of our Series B preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock was convertible into 2,500 shares of common stock. We received no consideration upon the conversion of such shares of Series B preferred stock. We relied on the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
