portion of the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock at any time based on the then-applicable liquidation preference (as determined in accordance with the Series A-3 Certificate of Designations) divided by the
applicable conversion price (the “Conversion Ratio”). The ordinary conversion price of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock is $6.83 per share and is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, certain distributions or similar events.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Series A-3 Certificate of Designations, if based on the Issuer’s financial statements for any fiscal quarter and a reserve report as of the same date, as of such date: (x) the PDP PV-20 value (as
determined in accordance with the Series A-3 Certificate of Designations) divided by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis is equal to or exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price, then the Issuer may,
from time to time until such time that the foregoing conditions are no longer satisfied or a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Series A-3 Purchase Agreement) has occurred since the date of the most financial statements that met the
foregoing conditions, cause the conversion of all or any portion of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock into Common Stock using the then-applicable Conversion Ratio. The shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock are also subject to redemption by the Issuer
at any time following the closing date of the issuance of shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A-3 Certificate of Designations. In the event of a change of control transaction, the shares of Series A-3
Preferred Stock are subject to redemption or conversion in accordance with the terms of the Series A-3 Certificate of Designations.
