Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Preferred Stock Transaction
On October 13, 2022, Digital Ally, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("the "Company"),
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with
certain institutional investors (the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Company
agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the "Offering"), 1,400,000
shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and 100,000 shares of
the Company's Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001
per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock", and together with the Series A
Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock"), at an offering price of $9.50 per
share, representing a 5% original issue discount to the stated value of $10.00
per share, for gross aggregate proceeds of $15 million in the Offering, before
the deduction of discounts, fees and offering expenses. The shares of Preferred
Stock will, under certain circumstances, be convertible into shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at the
option of the holders of the Preferred Stock and, in certain circumstances, by
the Company. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements by the Company and the Investors, and customary
conditions to closing. The Offering closed on October 19, 2022.
The Company intends to call an annual meeting of stockholders to consider
amendments (the "Amendments") to the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the
"Charter"), (i) to authorize an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
that the Corporation is authorized to issue under the Charter (the "Authorized
Share Increase Amendment") and (ii) to effect a reverse stock split of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock by a ratio to be determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company within a range to be specified in the proposal put to
the stockholders for approval (the "Reverse Stock Split Amendment," together
with the Authorized Share Increase Amendment, the "Amendments"). The Investors
have agreed in the Purchase Agreement to not transfer, offer, sell, contract to
sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction
which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the
disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due
to cash settlement or otherwise)) any shares of Preferred Stock until the date
on which the Authorized Share Increase Amendment becomes effective under the
Nevada Revised Statutes ("Authorized Share Increase Date"), to vote the shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased in the Offering in favor of the
Amendments and to vote the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock purchased in
the Offering in a manner that "mirrors" the proportions on which the shares of
Common Stock (excluding any shares of Common Stock that are not voted) and
Series A Preferred Stock are voted on the Amendments.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed on October 17, 2022
certificates of designation (the "Certificates of Designation") with the
Secretary of the State of Nevada designating the rights, preferences and
limitations of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock. The Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock provides,
in particular, that the Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights
other than the right to vote on the Amendments on an
as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis. The Certificate of Designation for the
Series B Preferred Stock provides, in particular, that the Series B Preferred
Stock will have no voting rights other than the right to vote on the Amendments
and each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof the right
to cast 2,500 votes on the Amendments.
The holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends, on an as-if
converted-to-Common-Stock basis, equal to dividends actually paid, if any, on
shares of Common Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the
holders and, in certain circumstances, by the Company, into shares of Common
Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The conversion price can be
adjusted pursuant to the Certificates of Designation for stock dividends and
stock splits, subsequent rights offering, pro rata distributions of dividends or
other distribution of its assets, or the occurrence of a fundamental transaction
(as defined in the applicable Certificate of Designation).
The holders of the Series A and Series B preferred stock have the right to
require the Company to redeem their shares of the relevant series at a price per
share equal to 105% of the stated value of such shares commencing (i) after the
