Filing Explained

The reported 57.7% stake includes shares issuable upon conversion, with those counts calculated using an assumed conversion price.

A Schedule 13D amendment updates a holder’s disclosed ownership above 5%. In this Amendment No. 16, filed on August 31, 2026, Ault & Company reports beneficial ownership of 186,963,677 Class A shares against 137,528,431 Class A shares outstanding.

The filing’s 57.7% figure includes Class A shares issuable upon conversion of Series C, G and H preferred stock and upon warrant exercise, so it describes beneficial ownership on an as-converted or as-exercisable basis rather than only shares already outstanding.

Accordingly, Item 5(a)’s preferred-stock share counts are conversion-based amounts, not an issuance reported by this amendment; a filing reporting an actual conversion would establish the resulting common-share issuance and quantity.

beneficially owned financial
"The aggregate amount beneficially owned by each reporting person 186,963,677.00"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"166,666,669 Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of 50,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock"
Series C convertible preferred stock is a class of investment shares issued in a later private financing round that combine safety and upside: they usually pay ahead of ordinary shares if a company pays dividends or is sold, but can be converted into common stock to share in future growth. For investors this acts like a VIP ticket with a safety net—offering priority protection while preserving the option to participate in a successful exit.
volume weighted average price financial
"105% of the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock"
The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.
senior secured convertible promissory note financial
"were issued in connection with a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal face amount"
A senior secured convertible promissory note is a formal IOU a company issues that is backed by specific assets (secured), given higher priority for repayment than other debts (senior), and can be exchanged for company shares instead of cash (convertible). For investors this means the loan is safer than unsecured debt because it has collateral and repayment priority, but it also carries the potential for dilution if the lender converts the note into equity — like holding a mortgage-backed IOU that can later be swapped for ownership stakes.
voting power financial
"beneficial ownership of Shares represents 16.76% and 16.92%, respectively, of the Issuer's total voting power"
Voting power is the ability shareholders have to influence a company's major decisions—like electing the board, approving mergers, or changing corporate rules—based on the voting rights attached to the shares they hold. For investors it matters because greater voting power is like holding more keys to a building: it gives you a stronger say over management choices and the company’s strategy, which can affect future value and risk.
