The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000,000.00 in cash (the “Transaction”) and are initially convertible in the aggregate into a maximum of 21,778,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.002 per share (the “Common Stock”). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and sold to NVIDIA in a private placement relying upon the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a transaction not involving a public offering.

 

Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On March 31, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”) in connection with the Transaction. The Certificate of Designation provides for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The following is a description of the material terms of the Certificate of Designation.

Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $1,000 and will convert into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of approximately $91.8355 per share of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible (i) at the option of the holder, subject to, if applicable, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period (or any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or (ii) automatically immediately before the closing of a bona fide sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Company or a non-affiliate of NVIDIA.

Dividends. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends in the same manner as holders of Common Stock, as determined on an as-converted basis, as if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have converted pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation as of immediately prior to the record date of the applicable dividend.

Voting Rights. Other than with respect to the election of directors, for which the Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will vote together with holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis. The Company may not alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation without the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. In connection with a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, distributions to the stockholders of the Company will be made among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro rata in proportion to number of shares held by each such holder. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be treated as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation immediately prior to such event.

No Preemptive or Redemption Rights. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no preemptive or redemption rights.

The foregoing description of the Series A Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Section 4. Voting Rights.

(a) The Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation.

(b) Other than with respect to the election of directors of the Corporation, for which Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote, Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters to be voted on by holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis (assuming all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation as of immediately prior to the record date of the vote (or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which record holders of Common Stock entitled to vote is to be determined)).

Section 5. Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, including a change of control transaction in which the assets of the Corporation are distributed, or Deemed Liquidation Event (any such event, a “Liquidation”), the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all shares of Series A Preferred Stock as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation immediately prior to such Liquidation, without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein or otherwise and without regard as to whether sufficient shares of Common Stock are available out of the Corporation’s authorized but unissued stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 6. Conversion.

(a) Conversion at the Option of the Holders. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, each Holder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder into a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio; provided that, if applicable, no Holder shall have the right to exercise such conversion right until the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) Conversions Upon Qualified Sale. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified Sale of such share into a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the Holder.

 

4


(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) Delivery of Shares Upon Conversion. As soon as practicable on or after each Conversion Date, but in any event within one (1) Business Day thereof, the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder, in the case of a conversion pursuant to subsection (a), or to the purchaser in the Qualified Sale, in the case of a conversion pursuant to subsection (b), a book-entry notation which will contain or be deemed to contain appropriate restrictive legends and trading restrictions, as applicable, representing the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver any book-entry notation required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company (including the DWAC system) or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (b), above, are not sold within two (2) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date, such shares shall ipso facto be deemed to have been converted back into Series A Preferred Stock. The “Conversion Date” means the date on which a Holder delivers to the Corporation (a) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 6(a), written notice of conversion, or (b) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 6(b), sale documentation of a Qualified Sale.

(ii) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual or contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(iii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Instead, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder based upon the Last Reported Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

(iv) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of book-entry notations for Conversion Shares shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such book-entry notation, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such book-entry notation upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such book-entry notation unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

(d) Status as Stockholder. Subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 6(c)(i), upon each Conversion Date in which shares of the Series A Preferred Stock convert into Common Stock: (i) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock; and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, other than the right of the Holder to receive shares of Common Stock and payment in lieu of any fraction of a share issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

5


The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator will be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately after such event and of which the denominator will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) will become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and will become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

(b) Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for below and other than a change of control transaction or Deemed Liquidation Event with respect to which Section 5 shall apply), then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable, upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 7), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 7 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 7 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Ratio, as applicable) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

6


(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

(e) Notice to the Holders. Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of a majority of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless a higher percentage is required by the DGCL, in which case the written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage shall be required, or unless the consent or vote of another class of capital stock is required by the DGCL, in which case the consent of such other class shall also be required.

(b) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

(c) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

7


(e) Status of Converted Series A Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall take such action as is required such that such converted shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation and shall no longer be designated as Series A Preferred Stock.
