"could have voluntarily elected to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the 8% unsecured convertible promissory note"
A convertible is a type of investment that starts as a loan or preferred stake (like a bond or preferred share) but can be exchanged for common shares of the company at a set price or under certain conditions. It matters to investors because it offers a mix of steady income and downside protection like a loan, plus the upside of stock ownership if the company does well—similar to holding a coupon that you can trade for a full ticket if the event becomes valuable.
Certificate of Designation regulatory
"in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation for the Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock"
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.
