Common Stock
On February 6, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split was effected on February 10, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. At the effective time, every 10 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were converted into one share of common stock. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole post-split share and no shareholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The par value of each share of common stock remained unchanged. The reverse stock split proportionately reduced the number of shares of authorized common stock from 400,000,000 to 40,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split also applied to common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s then outstanding warrants and stock options. The reverse stock split did not affect the authorized preferred stock of 10,000,000 shares. Unless noted, all references to shares of common stock and per share amounts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
As of June 30, 2023, the total number of authorized shares of common stock was 40,000,000.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 35,054,573 and 31,918,552 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 404,251 shares of common stock for services. Included in the issued shares were 400,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.0 million, or $2.47 per share, issued to the Company's lawyers and recorded as a prepaid retainer fee within Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The prepaid fee is reduced as the Company incurs lawyer fees. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining prepaid expense balance was $0.7 million.
Preferred Stock
The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our shareholders, to issue from time-to-time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Wow, certain eligible Canadian shareholders, noteholders and optionholders of Wow elected to receive the Exchangeable Shares in the capital of the Wow Exchange Co. Inc. (“ExchangeCo”) instead of shares of the Company’s common stock to which they were otherwise entitled.
The shares of ExchangeCo are exchangeable into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with their terms. Holders of the ExchangeCo shares are entitled to defined voting rights (the “Voting Rights”) in the Company pursuant to a voting and exchange trust agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) dated April 6, 2022 among the Company, ExchangeCo, 1329258 B.C. Ltd. and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Voting Trustee”). The Voting Trustee holds a single share of Series B Preferred Stock in the capital of the Company (the “Special Voting Share”), which grants the Voting Trustee that number of votes at the meetings of the Company’s shareholders as is equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that at such time have not been delivered pursuant to the tender of ExchangeCo shares. The Voting Trustee is required to exercise each vote attached to the Special Voting Share only as directed by the relevant holder of the underlying Company shares of common stock and, in the absence of any instructions, will not exercise voting rights with respect to the applicable shares.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 0 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was 1 share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 5,865 shares of common stock with a cost of $15,930 were withheld to cover taxes owed by certain employees, all of which were included as treasury stock outstanding and recorded at cost within Treasury Stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
