Item 1.          Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

 

Workhorse Group Inc., a Nevada company (the “Company”) authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The following is a summary of the rights of the Company’s common and preferred stock and some of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to the reader. For a complete description you should refer to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as the relevant provisions of Nevada General Corporation Law.

 

As of January 5, 2016, there are 18,204,923 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company has 119 stockholders of record. As of January 5, 2016, there were outstanding options to purchase 2,197,184 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 9,187,420 shares of common stock.

 

Voting Rights.   Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of common stock. The affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock, voting as a single class, will be required to amend certain provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, including provisions relating to removal of directors, director liability, vacancies on our board, special meetings, stockholder notices, actions by written consent and exclusive jurisdiction.

 

Dividends.   Subject to preferences applicable to preferred stock, if any, each share of common stock is entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time out of funds legally available therefor.

 

Liquidation.   In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment in full of all of the Company’s creditors and payment of the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock.

 

Rights and Preferences.   Holders of the Company’s common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that the Company may designate in the future.

  

We have authorized 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share.  These shares may be issued in series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors.  There are presently no outstanding shares of preferred stock outstanding.
