Under the terms of the Preferred Stock, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, shares of its common stock or any shares of the Company that rank junior to, or on parity with, the Preferred Stock will be subject to certain restrictions in the event that the Company does not declare and pay (or set aside) dividends on the Preferred Stock for the last preceding dividend period. The terms of the Preferred Stock, including such restrictions, are more fully described in the Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, including a Certificate of Designations (the “Amendment”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 20, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference.
