Series B Convertible Preferred Stock financial

"13 shares of the Issuer's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock"

Series B convertible preferred stock is a class of shares sold during a later-stage private financing that combines features of a loan and common stock: it usually pays priority dividends or has a priority claim if the company is sold, and it can be converted into common shares under predefined rules. Investors care because these shares affect ownership stakes and payout order—like having a reserved place in line and a ticket that can turn into regular ownership—so they influence potential returns and dilution for other shareholders.

Series B Warrants financial

"common stock purchase warrants (the "Series B Warrants") to initially acquire up to 837 shares"

Series B warrants are contracts issued alongside a company's Series B financing that give the holder the right to buy a set number of shares at a fixed price within a specified time. For investors, they matter because they can provide leveraged upside if the company grows, or they can dilute existing shareholders when exercised—like a coupon promising a future share at a known price that can add value or change ownership stakes.

Securities Purchase Agreement financial

"the Reporting Person entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with SHF Holdings, Inc."

A securities purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and a seller outlining the terms for buying or selling financial assets such as stocks or bonds. It specifies details like the price, quantity, and conditions of the transaction, similar to a shopping list with agreed-upon terms. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection when transferring ownership of these financial instruments.

Certificate of Designation regulatory

"in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock's Certificate of Designation"

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.

perpetual financial

"The Series B Preferred Stock is perpetual and therefore has no expiration date"

Perpetual describes a financial instrument or obligation that has no fixed end date and can continue indefinitely unless the issuer chooses to end it. For investors, that means there is no scheduled return of principal, so value depends on ongoing payments, issuer stability and market interest rates—similar to receiving rent from a property with no set sale date. Perpetual instruments often pay higher yields to compensate for that open-ended risk.
