In a recent move, AYRO, Inc. has modified the rights of its security holders and awarded equity to its board members. The company, which has seen its stock decline over 60% in the past year and currently maintains a market capitalization of just $5.08 million, has filed an 8-K form with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report these changes. According to InvestingPro data, AYRO holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, with a healthy current ratio of 6.55.
On Monday, AYRO entered into an agreement to amend the Certificate of Designations for its Series H-7 Convertible Preferred Stock. This amendment was made effective the same day after being filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware.
The adjustments were agreed upon with the Required Holders, as defined in the original document, and include the reclassification of Director Equity Grants as "Excluded Securities" under the initial transaction documents.
This amendment is significant as it also involves a waiver by the Required Holders regarding certain provisions of the transaction documents with respect to the Director Equity Grants. These grants were approved by AYRO's board on Monday, based on the Compensation and Human Resources Committee's recommendation.
The equity awards consist of 562,992 fully vested restricted shares of AYRO's common stock and 375,328 fully vested cash-settled restricted stock units, both priced at $0.76 per share or unit, which was the closing price on the grant date.
The Director Equity Awards are part of the AYRO, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan and are subject to the terms outlined in the Plan and each Director Award Agreement. The cash-settled restricted stock units were immediately converted into a cash payment to satisfy the directors' tax obligations related to these awards.
