Effective August 21, 2013, the Series A Preferred Shareholders (the “Series A Shareholders”) of Wizard World, Inc. (the “Company”) converted all outstanding Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) into approximately 9.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). In addition, the Series A Shareholders and certain other shareholders exchanged approximately 8.0 million outstanding Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants for approximately 4.0 million shares of Common Stock.
