Authorized Shares Increased to 600M
Proposal No. 4 now seeks to increase authorized common stock from 90M to 600M shares (up from 400M in the September 25 proxy), plus preferred stock from 1M to 2M shares. With 5.7M shares outstanding, this authorizes over 100x the current float.
-
Series D Conversion Cap Removal Sought
Proposal No. 2 asks stockholders to approve issuance of Series D conversion shares and warrant shares exceeding the 19.99% Nasdaq cap. The Series D converts at 95% of the lowest VWAP over 5 days with a $1.80 floor, and the warrant covers 926,748 shares at $10.81.

Equity Plan Expansion
Proposal No. 3 would add 1,000,000 shares to the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, which currently has 425,827 shares available. The plan also has an evergreen provision adding up to 250,000 shares annually through 2034.

Going Concern Context
The company reported a $6.8M net loss and $27.5M of overdue debt in its August 10-Q, with a going concern warning. The expanded authorization provides the board with tools to raise capital through highly dilutive means.
Analysis · BGDE · Crypto Assets
The amended proxy raises the proposed authorized common share count from 400 million to 600 million — a 50% increase over the already-dilutive proposal filed two weeks ago. With only 5.7 million shares outstanding, this would give the board authority to issue over 100 times the current float without further stockholder approval. The company is simultaneously seeking approval to lift the 19.99% Nasdaq exchange cap on its Series D convertible preferred stock, which carries a floating conversion price at 95% of the lowest VWAP with a $1.80 floor. Combined with the going-concern warning and $27.5M of overdue debt disclosed in the August 10-Q, this signals a board preparing for massive future dilution to fund operations.
