Insights

Shareholders cleared potential conversion-related issuances; impact depends on future conversions.

The approvals under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) allow common stock to be issued upon conversion of convertible notes due 2031 and the automatic conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The language permits outcomes that could exceed 19.99% of pre-issuance shares, satisfying exchange rules for significant issuances tied to these instruments.

These votes do not trigger immediate issuance; any effect depends on holder conversion decisions and applicable terms. The strong support (e.g., 89.6M–91.5M votes for) suggests broad authorization, but potential dilution would occur only if conversions happen per the instruments’ conditions.
