The company eliminated all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock by exchanging it for new Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with key investors, BoltRock Holdings and TC Special Investments. While this move streamlines the capital structure, it also grants substantial governance rights, including board representation and consent rights, to these preferred holders.
