OCZ TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC.
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
OF THE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
OF THE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
(Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)
The undersigned officer of OCZ TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. (the Corporation), organized and
existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the General Corporation
Law), in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 thereof, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:
That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of
Incorporation of the said Corporation, as amended, the said Board of Directors on November 4, 2009,
adopted the following resolution creating a series of two million (2,000,000) shares of Preferred
Stock designated as Series A Preferred Stock.
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation
in accordance with the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation the Series A Preferred Stock
of the Corporation be, and it hereby is, created, and that the designation and amount thereof and
the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the
shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:
1. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:
(a) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be
converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at 5:00 p.m. New York
time, on the sixtieth (60th) trading day following the commencement of trading of shares of
the Companys Common Stock on a public stock exchange, including without limitation, the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) and the NASDAQ Stock Market (the Mandatory
Conversion). The number of shares of the Companys Common Stock issuable upon Mandatory
Conversion shall be determined by dividing the Numerator Price (as defined below) and the
Denominator Price (as defined below). The Numerator Price shall initially be set at $5.00.
The Denominator Price shall be determined as follows: If the sixty (60) day per share
average closing price of the Companys Common Stock on such public stock exchange (the 60
Day Average) is:
(i) $5.00 or greater, the Denominator Price shall be $5.00;
(ii) $3.00 or lower, the Denominator Price shall be $3.00; and
(iii) if between $3.00 and $5.00 per share, then the Denominator Price shall be the 60 Day
Average.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the event specified in
Section 1(a) above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted
automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not
the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer
agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless either the
certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Corporation or
its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer
agent that such certificates have been lost,
stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to
indemnify the Corporation against any loss incurred by it in connection with such
certificates.
(c) Adjustments to Conversion Price.
(i) Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock. In the event
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided, combined or
consolidated, by stock split, reverse stock split or similar event, into a greater
or lesser number of shares of Common Stock after the date hereof, the Numerator
Price and the Denominator Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision,
combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
subdivision, combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted.
(ii) Recapitalizations and Reorganizations. In the case of any capital
recapitalization or reorganization (other than a subdivision, combination or other
recapitalization provided for Section 1(c)), or the fixing of any record date for
determination of holders of Common Stock affected by such recapitalization or
reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive, upon conversion thereof, the type and number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise that they
would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on
the date of such event (or on the record date with respect thereto, if such record
date is fixed) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event to and including the date of conversion, retained such shares of stock or
other securities or property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period,
subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 1
with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
(d) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Numerator Price and Denominator Price pursuant to this Section 1, the
Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of a share of such series of
Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation
shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a Preferred Stock, furnish or
cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments
and readjustments, (ii) the Numerator Price and Denominator Price at the time in effect for
the series of Preferred Stock held by such holder and (iii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received
upon the conversion of a share of such series of Preferred Stock.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the
holder of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal
to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as
determined by the Board of Directors. The number of whole shares issuable to each holder of
a series of Preferred Stock upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the total number of shares of
such series being converted into Common Stock by such holder at that time.
2
(f) No Impairment. Without obtaining such consent of the holders of Preferred Stock as
may be required hereunder, the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out
of all the provisions of this Section 1 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of
Preferred Stock against impairment.
(g) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of its
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of
all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as
may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
2. Voting Rights. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal
to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such holders shares of Preferred Stock
could then be converted and, except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, shall have
voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. Each holder of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with the
Bylaws of the Corporation and shall be entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock with
respect to any matter upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, except as
otherwise provided herein or those matters required by law to be submitted to a class vote.
3. Dividends and Other Rights, Preferences and Privileges. Each holder of Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to any dividend or distribution declared by the Companys Board of Directors as
payable to the Common Stock. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall be accorded the same rights,
preferences and privileges afforded a holder of Common Stock, unless otherwise superseded by the
provisions of this Certificate of Designation.
4. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the
holders of a majority of the voting power represented by the then outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, voting together as a class:
(a) modify the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Preferred Stock
so as to adversely affect the Series A Preferred Stock; or
(b) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner
that adversely affects the Series A Preferred Stock.
5. Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock. In the event any shares of Preferred Stock shall be
converted pursuant to Section 1 hereof, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, the shares so
converted or acquired shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation, and the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the
corresponding reduction in the Corporations authorized capital stock.
6. Residual Rights. All rights accruing to the outstanding shares of the Corporation not
expressly provided for to the contrary herein shall be vested in the Common Stock.
