On July 13, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series Q Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State to designate 200,000 preferred shares as Series Q Preferred Stock, such series having a par value of $0.0001 per share. Series Q Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of such share and prior to notice of redemption of such share of Series Q Preferred Stock by the Company, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing the Series Q Conversion Value by the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such share.

The per share “Series Q Conversion Value,” as defined in the Certificate of Designation, shall be calculated by the Company at least once each calendar quarter as follows: The per share Series Q Conversion Value shall be equal to the quotient of the “Core Q Holdings Asset Value” divided by the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series Q Preferred Stock. The “Core Q Holdings Asset Value” shall equal the value, as calculated and published by the Company, of all assets that constitute Core Q Holdings which shall include such considerations as the Company designates and need not accord with any established or commonly employed valuation method or considerations. “Core Q Holdings” consists of all proceeds received by the Company on the sale of shares of Series Q Preferred Stock and all securities, acquisitions, and business acquired from such proceeds by the Company. The Company shall periodically, but at least once each calendar quarter, identify, update, account for and value, the assets that comprise the Core Q Holdings.

Preferred Stock (continued)

The “Conversion Price” of the Series Q Preferred Stock shall be at the product of 105% and the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on a date designated and published by the Company. The Series Q Preferred Stock is intended to allow for a pure play investment in cannabis companies that have the potential to go public. The Series Q Preferred Stock will be available only to accredited, institutional or qualified investors.

The Company sold and issued 11 shares of Series Q Preferred Stock on May 30, 2018, at a price of $10,000 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $110,000 (“Series Q Purchase Price”). The Company invested the Series Q Purchase Price as capital in Partner II to purchase equipment to be leased to Pueblo West. Therefore, the Core Q Holdings at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include this interest. The Core Q Holdings Asset Value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $17,455 and $16,207 per share, respectively. There is no contingent liability for the Series Q Preferred Stock conversion at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Series Q Preferred Stock could have been converted at the Conversion Price of $0.112 and $0.085, respectively, into an aggregate of 1,714,319 and 2,097,358 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively. Because there were net losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, these shares were anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in the weighted average share calculation for these periods.
