Item 5.03. Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 29, 2014, Minerco Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Designation to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada setting forth the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”). The following is a summary of material provisions of the Series B Shares as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. The number of shares constituting Series B Preferred is 2,000,000.
Dividends
The Series B Shares accrue dividends at the rate per annum equal to 8% of the Stated Value which initially is ten dollars per share payable in cash; provided that after an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock the dividends may be paid at the option of the Company in cash or additional shares of common stock.
Conversion
Subject to adjustment, each Series B Share is currently convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Common Stock. Each Series B Share (together with any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon) is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time at a conversion price per share equal to the sum of the Stated Value a divided by the Conversion Price, subject to adjustment as described below. The initial Conversion Price shall be equal to .02. The Series B Shares automatically convert to common stock immediately prior to the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering for gross offering proceeds of at least $10,000,000 or upon the consent of two-thirds of the holders of Series B Shares.
Redemption
The Company has the right to redeem the Series B Shares at any time at a price per share equal to the Stated Value multiplied by 125%.
Liquidation
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and other Liquidation Events as defined in the Certificate of Designations, holders of Series B Shares are entitled to receive from proceeds remaining after distribution to the Company’s creditors and prior to the distribution to holders of Common Stock but junior to the Series A Preferred Stock the (x) Stated Value (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) held by such holder and (y) all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares.
Anti-Dilution
The Series B Shares are entitled to weighted average anti-dilution protection under certain circumstances specified in the Certificate of Designations.
Voting
Except as otherwise required by law and except as set forth below, holders of Series B Shares will, on an as-converted basis, vote together with the Common Stock as a single class. Each holder of Series B Shares is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to five times the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Shares could be converted at the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
