Insights

Sow Good raises $3M via preferred stock while overhauling leadership and board.

Sow Good issued 1,500,000 Series AAA Convertible Redeemable Preferred shares for $3,000,000, adding a new class of equity with conversion, dividend, liquidation and redemption features. Each share initially converts into 250 common shares and carries a liquidation entitlement of at least $2.00 per share.

The Series AAA Preferred ranks ahead of common stock in a dissolution and shares dividends on an as-converted basis, while generally lacking voting rights except on changes that adversely affect the series or its authorization. The company may redeem these shares at $200 per share plus accrued dividends, which could influence future cash needs if exercised.

On the same March 31, 2026, the company saw the resignation of its CEO and CFO and five directors, with Yisroel Goldberg appointed as both CEO and CFO and four new directors joining the board and its committees. This marks a substantial governance transition that concentrates executive roles and refreshes board and committee leadership, with future performance depending on the new team’s execution.

"exempt from registration under Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act"
Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.

Dissolution financial
"as to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (each, a “Dissolution”)"
Dissolution is the formal process of ending a company's legal existence, closing its operations, selling off assets, settling debts, and distributing any remaining money to owners. For investors it matters because dissolution can wipe out stock value or produce a final payout after creditors are paid; think of it like closing a store, selling the inventory to pay bills, and giving whatever is left to the owners.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On March 31, 2026, the Company sold and issued 1,500,000 shares of Series AAA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series AAA Preferred Stock”) pursuant to the previously announced Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 31, 2026, by and between the Company and David Lazar, as amended by the Amendment Agreement, dated February 18, 2026 (together, the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). Prior to closing, Mr. Lazar assigned the rights to purchase the Series AAA Preferred Stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement to a Panamanian holding company (“PanamaCo”) on March 24, 2026, pursuant to a rights purchase agreement (the “Rights Transfer”). PanamaCo subsequently transferred some of the rights to a number of investors who together with PanamaCo paid the purchase price of the Series AAA Preferred Stock of $3,000,000. The Company intends on using the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and working capital.

 

On March 31, 2026 (the “Filing Date”), the Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series AAA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series AAA Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series AAA Preferred Stock are set forth in the Series AAA Certificate of Designations. Each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 250 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) (subject to adjustment as provided in the Series AAA Certificate of Designations) at any time at the option of the holder. The Series AAA Certificate of Designations provides certain conversion limitations based on ownership thresholds.

 

The Series AAA Preferred Stock shall rank:

 

senior to all of the Common Stock;

 

senior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company created after the Filing Date specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Series AAA Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”);

 

on parity with any other class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series AAA Preferred Stock;

 

in each case, as to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (each, a “Dissolution”).

 

In the event of a Dissolution, subject to any prior or superior rights of the holders of Senior Securities, holders of the Series AAA Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any distributions to the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of Junior Securities and pari passu with any distributions to the holders of Parity Securities, an amount per share of Series AAA Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) $2.00 (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, combination or reclassification), plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock (without regard to any restrictions on conversion) immediately prior to such Dissolution. Shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-Common Stock basis), and in the same form and manner as, dividends actually paid on shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of any doubt, neither a change in control of the Company, the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity, nor the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets shall, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a Dissolution.

 

Shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights, except to the extent provided by applicable law, and except that the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock will be required to (i) alter, repeal or change the powers, preferences or rights of the Series AAA Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series AAA Certificate of Designations so as to adversely affect the Series AAA Preferred Stock, (ii) supplement, amend, restate, repeal, or waive any provision of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or file any certificate of amendment, certificate of designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series AAA Preferred Stock, regardless of whether any of the foregoing actions shall be by means of amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion or otherwise, (iii) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock; or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. The Series AAA Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company at a price of $200 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The foregoing description of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series AAA Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Series AAA Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Based in part upon the representations of the Investor in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the offering and sale of the Placement Shares will be exempt from registration under Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The sale of the Placement Shares by the Company in the Private Placement will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The sale of such shares will not involve a public offering and will be made without general solicitation or general advertising. In the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor represented, among other things, that it is a “non-U.S. person” as defined under Regulation S, that it is not acquiring the Placement Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person and that it is acquiring the Placement Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to any immediate resale, distribution or other disposition of the Placement Shares.
