Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 9, 2025, Avalon GloboCare Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an exchange agreement (the “Agreement”) with Wenzhao Lu (“Lu”), the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which Lu exchanged 9,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company for 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exchange”). Upon consummation of the Exchange, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company outstanding.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The securities described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On January 6, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of designations of preferences, rights, and limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Certificate of Designations”) with the Department of State, Division of Corporations, of the State of Delaware, which provides for the designation of 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the Series D Certificate of Designations. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”).

 

The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company created hereafter, the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series shall rank junior to the Series D Preferred Stock, (ii) pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the Company created hereafter specifically ranking, by its terms, on par with the Series D Preferred Stock, (iii) pari passu with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) with respect to its rights, preferences and restrictions, and (iv) pari passu with the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

 

Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock have no voting power except as otherwise required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders, (i) after and subject to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the holders of another class or series of stock of the Company ranking on liquidation prior and in preference to the Series D Preferred Stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) ratably with any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock and (iii) in preference and priority to the holders of the shares of Common Stock, an amount equal to 100% of the Stated Value of the Series D Preferred Stock, in proportion to the full and preferential amount that all shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive.

 

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion per share equal to $2.41, at the option of the holder, at any time after the Company has obtained shareholder approval for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. In addition, the holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock if, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the respective Conversion Shares.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Series D Certificate of Designations, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series D Certificate of Designations filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
