Note 16:

  Series A Preferred Stock

On August 18, 2017, the Company acquired GeoTraq by way of merger, the result of which GeoTraq became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with this transaction, the Company tendered to the owners of GeoTraq $200, issued to them an aggregate of 288,588 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and entered into one-year unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $800.

To accomplish the designation and issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota. On November 9, 2017, we filed a Certificate of Correction with the Minnesota Secretary of State. In connection with the Reincorporation, we filed Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on March 12, 2018, and a Certificate of Correction with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on August 7, 2018 (collectively, the “Nevada Articles of Incorporation”).  On June 21, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Series A-1 Certificate of Designation”) of Powers, Preferences, and Rights of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) with the Nevada Secretary of State. The following summary of the Nevada Articles of Incorporation and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to the Nevada Articles of Incorporation and the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2018, as Exhibit 3.1. to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018, and Exhibit 3.8 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 24, 2019.

The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was designated pursuant to guidance received from Nasdaq and has virtually all of the same rights, characteristics, and attributes as the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, except as required by the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (i.e., Section 3.2.5 in respect of voting rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Section 3.2.1(f) in respect of a Triggering Event, as such term is defined therein, and the formula to be applied in connection therewith), with respect to each of which requirements the Company has already been in compliance. The filing of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors on June 18, 2019. The affirmative approval of a majority of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for the exchange of such shares into shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock occurred on or about June 19, 2019. The three holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were deemed to have exchanged their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for an equivalent number of shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, or an aggregate of 259,729 shares.  

Except as described above, the rights, characteristics, and attributes of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock are the same as described below. Except as described above and as set forth below, references below to “Series A Preferred Stock” include and shall be deemed to refer to “Series A-1 Preferred Stock” on and after June 19, 2019.

Dividends

We cannot declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of our capital stock unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required by our Articles of Incorporation) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend in the aggregate amount of $1.00, regardless of the number of then-issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Any remaining dividends allocated by the Board of Directors shall be distributed in an equal amount per share to the holders of outstanding common stock and Series A Preferred Stock (on an as-if-converted to common stock basis pursuant to the Conversion Ratio as defined below).

Conversion

The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of our common stock except as described below.

Subject to the third sentence of this paragraph, each holder of a share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock has the right, exercisable at any time and from time to time (unless otherwise prohibited by law, rule or regulation, or as restricted below), to convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock at the conversion ratio. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, the “conversation ratio” per share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is a ratio of 1:20, meaning one share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, if and when converted into shares of our common stock, converts into 20 shares of our common stock. One share of Series A-1 Preferred stock converts into 20 shares of our common stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designation, a holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may not convert any of such holder’s shares and we may not issue any shares of our common stock in connection with a conversion that would trigger any Nasdaq requirement to obtain shareholder approval prior to such conversion or issuance in connection with such conversion that would be in excess of that number of shares of common stock equivalent to 19.9% of the number of shares of common stock as of August 18, 2017; providedhowever, that holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock may effectuate any conversion and we are obligated to issue shares of common stock in connection with a conversion that would not trigger such a requirement. The foregoing restriction is of no further force or effect upon the approval of our stockholders in compliance with Nasdaq’s shareholder voting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Certificate of Designation, the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock may not effectuate any conversion and we may not issue any shares of common stock in connection with a conversion until the later of (x) February 28, 2018 or (y) sixty-one days following the date on which our stockholders have approved the voting, conversion, and other potential rights of the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock described in the Certificate of Designation in accordance with the relevant Nasdaq requirements. On October 23, 2018, at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders approved of the future conversion of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock.
