The elimination was effective upon filing. No shares of the Series G Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding at the time of filing. A copy of the Certificate of Elimination is included as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8‑K (filed Sep 25, 2026).

Key Details

• Filing date: Certificate of Elimination filed with the State of Delaware on September 24, 2026 (effective upon filing).
• Security affected: Series G Non‑Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.
• Outstanding shares: No Series G shares were issued or outstanding at filing.
• Exhibit: Certificate of Elimination filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8‑K.

Why It Matters
