Series F Preferred Stock

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) (i) 6,550 shares of our newly designated Series F Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), (ii) preferred warrants (the “Preferred Warrants”) to acquire 32,750 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and (iii) common warrants (“Common Warrants” and with the Preferred Warrants the “Investor Warrants”) to acquire up to 3,830,417 shares of Common Stock. See Note 4 - Capital Stock for additional detail regarding the Common Warrants. The terms of the Series F Preferred Stock are as set forward in the Certificate of Designations of Series F Preferred Stock of Oblong, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”), which was filed and became effective with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2023. The Private Placement closed on March 31, 2023, in exchange for gross and net proceeds of $6,386,000 and $5,364,000, respectively. The financing fees associated with the Purchase Agreement were $1,022,000.

The Series F Preferred Shares are convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.71 (the “Conversion Price”). The holders of the Series F Preferred Shares may also elect to convert their shares at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the applicable Conversion Price as in effect on the date of the conversion, (ii) 80% of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the conversion notice, and (iii) the greater of (a) the Floor Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and (b) the quotient of (x) the sum of the five lowest Closing Bid Prices (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) for trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, divided by (y) five. The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combination recapitalization, or other similar transactions involving the Common Stock, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a full ratchet basis, in the event of any issuances of our common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions).

On October 6, 2023, the Company and Investors holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock agreed to waive any and all provisions, terms, covenants and obligations in the Certificate of Designations or Common Warrants to the extent such provisions permit the conversion or exercise of the Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants, respectively, to occur at a price below $0.2792. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, each of the “Alternate Conversion Price” and the “Floor Price” as set forth in the Certificate of Designations shall in no event be less than $0.2792 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events).

Under the Certificate of Designations, the Series F Preferred Shares have an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”). The holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 9% per annum, which will be payable in arrears quarterly. Accrued dividends may be paid, at our option, in cash and if not paid, shall increase the stated value of the Series F Preferred Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Series F Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 20% per annum (the “Default Rate”). The Series F Preferred Shares have no voting rights, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series F Preferred Shares. On matters with respect to which the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares have a right to vote, holders of the Preferred Shares will have voting rights on an as-converted basis.

Our ability to settle conversions is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Further, the Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares.

The Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), including, among other things, (i) the failure to file and maintain an effective registration statement covering the sale of the holder’s securities registrable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares when due, and (iii) if Peter Holst ceases to be the chief executive officer of the Company other than because of his death, and a qualified replacement, reasonably acceptable to a majority of the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares, is not appointed within thirty (30) business days. In connection with a Triggering Event, the Default Rate is triggered. We are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, acquisition transactions, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designations), maintenance of properties and the transfer of assets, among other matters.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 2,111 and 3,033shares of Series F Preferred Stock, plus accrued dividends, were converted to 7,955,743 and 11,558,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. There were 545 shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding and accrued dividends of $4,000 as of June 30, 2024.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 1,648 Series F Preferred Shares were issued upon exercise of 1,648 Preferred Warrants. The Company received gross and net proceeds of $1,607,000 and $1,478,000, respectively. 

One of our directors, Jonathan Schechter, is currently a partner at The Special Equities Group ("SEG"), a division of Dawson James Securities, Inc. In March 2023, prior to Mr. Schechter's appointment to our board in May 2023, SEG acted as placement agent in connection with our March 31, 2023 Purchase Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, pursuant to the terms of our engagement later with Dawson James Securities, Inc., we paid SEG a cash fee equal to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the exercise of the 1,648 Series F Preferred Warrants.  This fee was approximately $129,000. Mr. Schechter did not receive any of the fees paid.

The Preferred Warrants are exercisable for Series F Preferred Shares at an exercise price of $975. The exercise price is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combination recapitalizations or other similar transactions involving the Common Stock. The Preferred Warrants expire three years from the date of issuance and are exercisable for cash. For each Preferred Warrant exercised, the Investors shall receive Common Warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock the Investors would receive if the Series F Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant were converted at the applicable Conversion Price. The fair value of the Preferred Warrants was recorded within additional paid-in capital upon issuance.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 42 RSAs became fully vested and were delivered in shares of the Company's common stock.

Note 7 - Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or unvested Restricted Stock. 

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options, preferred stock, warrants, and unvested Restricted Stock, to the extent they are dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all such common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per share as the effect to net loss per share would be anti-dilutive (due to the net loss).

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):
