Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On June 4, 2020, Scott W. Absher, the Chief Executive Officer of ShiftPixy, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”), exercised 12,500,000 options (the “Preferred Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), for $0.0001 per share. As previously disclosed, the Preferred Options were granted to the Company’s founding shareholders in September 2016 (the “Option Shareholders”), based upon the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) held by the Option Shareholders at that time. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

 

Immediately following the exercise of the Preferred Options described above, Mr. Absher elected to convert 12,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock into 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Furthermore, the 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock are subject to a 24-month lock-up period during which they may not be traded.
