Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management


Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.


Article IV of HII Technologies, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, issuable from time to time in or more series (“Preferred Stock”). On June 11, 2014, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) which sets forth the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”).  Three thousand (3,000) shares of Series A Preferred with a stated value of $1,000 per share were authorized under the Series A Certificate of Designation


Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designation, each share of Series A Preferred: (i)  is entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 10% out of any funds and assets of the Company legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend payable on the Common Stock, payable quarterly; (ii) is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of $1,000 divided by the conversion price then in effect, which is initially $0.70; (iii) votes generally with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis on all matters, other than those matters on which the Series A Preferred is entitled to vote as a separate class by law or as set forth in the Series A Certificate of Designation; (iv) is senior to the Common Stock upon a liquidation of the Company; (v) is automatically converted into Common Stock at the then applicable conversion price: (A) (1) if the underlying conversion shares are registered or such conversion shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 and (2) Company’s stock price is at least $1.60 for 40 trading days during a 60 trading day period with average daily volume of at least 50,000 shares during those 40 trading days; (B) upon the written consent of the holders of 50% of the Series A Preferred, or, (C) on June 30, 2017; and (vi) is entitled to anti-dilution adjustments in the event of a dividend, stock split, reclassification, reorganization, consolidation or merger.


The foregoing summary of the Series A Certificate of Designation is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series A Certificate of Designation, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
