7.00% Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2031 financial
"The Issuer's 7.00% Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2031 (the "Notes") are convertible, in whole or in part, at any time"
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"shares of the Issuer's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B 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 D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"shares of the Issuer's Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred Stock")"
conversion price financial
"at a conversion price of $1.026988 per share (24.343042 common shares for each $25.00 of principal amount)"
The conversion price is the fixed price at which a convertible security, like a bond or preferred stock, can be exchanged for shares of common stock. It acts like a set rate that determines how many shares an investor can receive if they choose to convert their investment. This helps investors understand the value and potential benefits of converting their securities into company shares.
pecuniary interest financial
"Joseph Stilwell disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities reported as owned indirectly except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"
beneficial ownership financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities reported as owned indirectly"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
