On November 24, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of withdrawal of the Company’s certificate of designation of Series V preferred stock, and filed a certificate of designation for a new series of Series V preferred stock (the “Series V”), with the Secretary of State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Series V COD, the Company designated 3,000 shares of preferred stock as Series V. The Series V has a stated value of $100,000 per share, and holders will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata and pari passu basis, annual distribution of 25% of annual net profits of newly established, Company wholly-owned, Water On Demand subsidiaries, designated by each Holder, paid within 3 months of subsidiary’s accounting year-end. The Series V will not be entitled to any voting rights except as may be required by applicable law. The Series V will be convertible into common stock of the Company pursuant to the Series V COD, provided that, the Series V may not be converted into common stock to the extent such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (which may be increased up to 9.99% upon 61 days’ written notice). The Company will have the right (but no obligation) to redeem the Series V at any time at a redemption price equal to, if paid in cash, the stated value plus any accrued but unpaid distributions of 25% of subsidiary’s annual net profits.
