Certificate of Designation regulatory
"filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office"
A certificate of designation is a formal document that spells out the specific rights and rules attached to a particular class or series of stock, usually preferred shares. Think of it as a rulebook or menu that lists dividend terms, liquidation priority, conversion or redemption rights and any special voting protections; investors use it to judge how much income, control or downside protection those shares will provide compared with other securities.
pari passu financial
"pari passu with all holders of parity securities and in preference"
An instruction that different claims, securities, or creditors are treated equally and share rights or payments on the same priority level. For investors, it means their position will be paid or have voting power alongside others in the same class rather than being favored or subordinated—think of several people standing in one bus line who all get on together rather than some cutting ahead. That parity affects expected recovery in reorganizations, dividend order, and relative risk.

"series N senior convertible preferred stock, series X senior convertible preferred stock"

Item 3.03Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

On August 31, 2026, Cardiff Lexington Corporation (the “Company”) filed a certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office to establish a new series of the Company’s preferred stock designated as series A-1 preferred stock. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 2 shares of its preferred stock as series A-1 preferred stock. Following is a summary of the material terms of the series A-1 preferred stock:

 

·Ranking. The series A-1 preferred stock ranks, with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, (i) senior to all common stock and to each other class or series of capital stock that is not expressly made senior to or on parity with the series A-1 preferred stock; (ii) on parity with the Company’s series A preferred stock and to each other class or series of capital stock that is not expressly subordinated or made senior to the series A-1 preferred stock; and (iii) junior to the Company’s series F-1 preferred stock, series L preferred stock, series N senior convertible preferred stock, series X senior convertible preferred stock, series Y senior convertible preferred stock and to each other class or series of capital stock that is expressly made senior to the series A-1 preferred stock, as well as to all indebtedness and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Company.
   
·Dividend Rights. The series A-1 preferred stock is not entitled to participate in any distributions or payments to the holders of common stock or any other class of stock and shall have no economic interest in the Company.
   
·Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, a merger or consolidation of the Company wherein the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the holders of the series A-1 preferred stock shall be entitled to receive from any distribution of assets of the Company an amount per share equal to the stated value of $250, which amount shall be paid after payment is made to the holders of senior securities, pari passu with all holders of parity securities and in preference to the holders of junior securities, including the common stock. Once the holders receive the foregoing from any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders shall not participate with the common stock or any other class of stock.
   
·Voting Rights. Each share of series A-1 preferred stock shall have a number of votes at any time equal to (i) 25% of the number of votes then held or entitled to be made by all other equity securities of the Company, including, without limitation, the common stock, plus (ii) one (1). The series A-1 preferred stock shall vote on any matter submitted to the holders of common stock, or any other class of voting securities, for a vote, and shall vote together with the common stock, or any other class of voting securities, as applicable, on such matter; provided that the series A-1 preferred stock shall not have the right to vote on any matter as to which solely another series of preferred stock is entitled to vote.
   
·Transfer. Upon the transfer of any share of series A-1 preferred stock, except for a transfer by the holder to an affiliate, whether such transfer is voluntary or involuntary, such share of series A preferred stock shall automatically, and without any action being required by the Company or the holder, be converted into one (1) share of common stock.
   
·Other Rights. Holders of series A-1 preferred stock do not have any conversion (except as set forth above) or redemption rights.
