CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION

OF RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS OF

SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK OF

DIGITAL POWER CORPORATION

 

 

We, Amos Kohn and Daniel B. Eng, hereby certify that we are the President and Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, respectively, of Digital Power Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (“Corporation”), and further do hereby certify:

 

That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors on April __, 2017 (“Effective Date”) adopted the following resolution creating a series of 10,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as Series E Preferred Stock, none of which shares have been issued:

 

RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Corporation designates the Series E Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series, and fixes the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series in addition to any set forth in the Articles of Incorporation as follows:

 

Section 1.     Designation and Amount. Ten thousand (10,000) shares of the preferred stock of the Corporation, no par value, shall constitute a class of preferred stock designated as “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). The relative rights, preferences and limitations of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be in all respects identical, share for share, to the Common Stock of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided herein. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to forty-five dollars ($45.00) per share (the “Stated Value”).

 

Section 2. Dividend Rights.

 

2.1         Series E Dividends. The holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends.

 

Section 3. Voting Rights.

 

3.1.       No Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the Series E Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

 

Section 4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Bankruptcy.

 

If the Corporation: (i) adopts a plan of liquidation or of dissolution; (ii) commences a voluntary proceeding under the federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; (iii) consents to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under such law; (iv) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property; (v) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (vi) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; and on account of any such event the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, and in that event, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock, the Corporation’s Series A Preferred Stock, or to the holders of any other junior series of preferred stock, by reason of their ownership thereof and subject to the rights of the Corporation’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Corporation stock subsequently issued that ranks senior to the Series E Preferred Stock (“Senior Stock”), an amount per share in cash or equivalent value in securities or other consideration equal to $0.01 per share (“Series E Preference Amount”) ratably with any class or series ranking on a parity with the Series E Preferred Stock (“Series E Parity Stock”) in proportion to the respective preference amounts each such holder of Series E Parity Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive. The Corporation’s Series D Preferred Stock shall be deemed Series E Parity Stock. If the amount of such distribution after payment to any Senior Stock is insufficient to permit full payment of the Series E Preference Amount to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock, then such distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and Series E Parity Stock in proportion to the respective preference amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive.

Section 5. Conversion of Series E Preferred Stock; Redemption By the Corporation.

 

5.1     Conversion. Subject to the shareholders of Common Stock of the Corporation approving the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of Microphase Corporation (“Microphase”) common stock and for purposes of compliance with Rule 713 of the NYSE MKT, then each share of Series E Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder into sixty(60) shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Ratio”) of the Corporation.

 

5.2     Adjustment to Series E Preferred Stock Conversion Ratio. The Conversion Ratio as to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a)     In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time declare a dividend, or make a distribution, on the outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, and in each case,

 

(1)     the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible shall be adjusted so that the holder of each share thereof shall be entitled to receive, upon the conversion thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of a share of Series E Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such share been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier; and

 

(2)     an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 5.2(a) shall become effective (i) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or (ii) in the case of any such subdivision, reclassification or combination, at the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

 

5.3     No Fractional Shares. In connection with the conversion of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock, no fractions of a share of Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof the Corporation at its sole election and discretion shall make a cash payment equal to the then fair market value of such fractional share as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

5.4      Notice of Conversion. Each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall give written notice to the Corporation at least ten (10) calendar days prior to any conversion. Following the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, the holder of the Common Stock shall be subject to any terms and conditions contained in the notice of conversion.

The Corporation shall at all times in good faith take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Series E Preferred Stock against improper dilution or other impairment.

 

5.6     Optional Redemption. The Corporation, at its option, may redeem for cash, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon written notice to the holder of the shares, at a cash redemption price equal to (x) the Stated Value multiplied by (y) the number of shares being redeemed by the holder at such time. Any such optional redemption by the Corporation under this Section 5.6 shall be credited against that certain promissory note, dated April __, 2017 (the “Promissory Note”), in the principal amount $450,000 issued by Microphase to in favor of Lucosky Brookman LLP,

All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation and may be reissued as part of another series of preferred stock of the Corporation.

In the event of (i) the declaration by the Corporation of a record date for the holders of any class or series of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution or (ii) any reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Corporation or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall send, in accordance with Section 5.4, at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or other distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the time, if any is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Series E Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
