Vislink Announces Distribution of Series A Preferred Stock to Holders of its Common Stock


Mt. Olive, NJ., Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vislink Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: VISL) (“Vislink” or the “Company”), a global technology leader in the capture, delivery and management of high quality, live video and associated data in the media & entertainment, law enforcement and defense markets, today announced that as of November 9, 2022, its Board of Directors declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock held of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 21, 2022. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are expected to be distributed to such recipients at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 22, 2022. The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a reverse stock split, and will not be entitled to vote on any other matter, except to the extent required under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Subject to certain limitations, each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock will have 1,000,000 votes per share (or 1,000 votes per one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock).

All shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are not present in person or by proxy at the meeting of stockholders held to vote on the reverse stock split as of immediately prior to the opening of the polls at such meeting will automatically be redeemed by the Company. Any outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been so redeemed will be redeemed if such redemption is ordered by the Company’s Board of Directors or automatically upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation effecting the reverse stock split at such meeting.

The Series A Preferred Stock will be uncertificated, and no shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be transferable by any holder thereof except in connection with a transfer by such holder of any shares of the Company’s common stock held by such holder. In that case, a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be transferred by such holder would be transferred to the transferee of such shares of common stock.

Additional details regarding the Series A Preferred Stock will be contained in a report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Further details regarding a special meeting of shareholders of the Company to consider a reverse stock split are anticipated to be contained in a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A to be filed by the Company with the SEC. This special meeting will be separate and apart from the previously announced 2022 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company scheduled to be held on December 27, 2022. The special meeting will relate solely to a proposal to potentially effect a reverse stock split. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be eligible to participate in the 2022 annual meeting.
