Company Redemption. The Company may redeem all, or any portion, of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock for cash, at a price per share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Series B-2 Certificate of Designations) being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined in the Series B-2 Certificate of Designations) and (ii) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Series B-2 Certificate of Designations) with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Series B-2 Certificate of Designations) of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (as defined in the Series B-2 Certificate of Designations) and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under the Certification of Designation.

Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are prohibited from converting shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.
Voting Rights. The holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall have no voting power and no right to vote on any matter at any time, either as a separate series or class or together with any other series or class of share of capital stock, and shall not be entitled to call a meeting of such holders for any purpose nor shall they be entitled to participate in any meeting of the holders of Common Stock, except as expressly provided in the Series B-2 Certificate of Designations and where required by the DGCL.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor “provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements regarding the Company’s or Evofem’s future results of operations and financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of the respective management teams of the Company and Evofem and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company and Evofem.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to, the following risks relating to the proposed transactions: (1) the risk that the proposed transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the Company’s securities; (2) the failure to satisfy the conditions to closing, including the approval by the stockholders of the Company; (3) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions; and (4) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s public filings with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s and Evofem’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and other documents we filed, or will file, including the proxy statement/prospectus, with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither the Company nor Evofem presently know, or that the Company or Evofem currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s and Evofem’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and Evofem anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s and Evofem’s assessments to change. However, while the Company and Evofem may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company and Evofem specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as otherwise required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s and Evofem’s assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
