On March 27, 2024, Vemanti Group, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the "Company") filed a certificate of designation of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the "Series B Preferred Stock") with the Nevada Secretary of State (the "Series B Certificate of Designation"). Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") established, fixed, and designated Ten Million (10,000,000) of the authorized but unissued shares of the Company's Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred Stock, with rights, preferences and limitations as described in the Series B Certificate of Designation. The below summary of the Series B Certificate of Designation is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series B Certificate of Designation, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Dividends

No dividends shall accrue or be paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock prior to uplisting any of the Company's securities to a senior securities exchange. After any such uplisting, dividends shall accrue and be paid solely at the discretion of the Board and upon the terms declared by the Board.

Ranking

All shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (i) junior to any class or series of Preferred Stock or other capital stock of the Company created after the date of the Series B Certificate of Designation (with the unanimous written consent of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, specifically ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock), and (ii) senior to all of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), the Company's currently existing Series A Preferred Stock and any other class of securities that is specifically designated junior to the Series B Preferred Stock ("Junior Securities").

Liquidation

In the event of any Liquidation, the holders of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock are entitled, but are not required, to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any other amounts from the Company after they have received their full liquidating distribution.

Conversion

Upon written election to the Company, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert each outstanding share (partial conversions of individual shares are not permitted) of Series B Preferred Stock into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing (a) the Liquidation Value of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted by (b) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such conversion. The Company shall at all times when any shares of Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation. Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Company shall not effect any conversions of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders shall not have the right to convert any portion of Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

Accordingly, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote for each whole share of Common Stock into which their Series B Preferred Stock is then-convertible on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

The Series B Preferred Stock also has special voting rights in relation to specified corporate actions, such as issuing any series of stock ranked senior to the Series B Preferred Stock. For these corporate actions, listed in detail in the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Company cannot act without the approval of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock voting separately as a single class.
