On April 5, 2024, Digital Ally, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada an Elimination of Certificate of Designations of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Elimination Certificate”) and Elimination of Certificate of Designations of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Elimination Certificate”) in order to eliminate and cancel all designations, rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). In December 2022, all 1,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that had originally been issued pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”) and all 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that had originally been issued pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have resumed the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company.
Prior to the filing of the Series A Elimination Certificate, none of the 1,400,000 authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock or 100,000 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, and no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock were to be issued subject to the Series A Certificate of Designations or Series B Certificate of Designations. The Series A Elimination Certificate and Series B Elimination Certificate became effective upon their filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
The foregoing description of the Series A Elimination Certificate and Series B Elimination Certificate is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series A Elimination Certificate and Series B Elimination Certificate, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and 3.2, and incorporated herein by reference.
