DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ:DRIO), currently trading at $0.69 per share and down over 60% in the past year, has announced amendments to its preferred stock terms, extending the mandatory conversion period and implementing a new dividend policy. On Monday, the company filed updated certificates of designation for its Series C, Series C-1, and Series C-2 Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company is currently burning through cash rapidly, which may explain these strategic financial moves.

The amendments extend the mandatory conversion period for these preferred stocks from 15 to 24 months from the original issue date. Additionally, DarioHealth introduced a dividend policy where holders of the preferred stocks will receive a dividend equal to 15% of the Common Stock shares issuable upon conversion for each full quarter anniversary post-filing. While the company is making these changes to its preferred stock structure, InvestingPro data shows the company does not currently pay dividends to common shareholders and operates with a moderate debt level.

This strategic move did not involve the issuance or sale of additional securities. The company’s decision to amend the certificates of designation aims to adjust the terms of the preferred stock without altering the current number of shares.

DarioHealth, a Delaware-incorporated company with a market capitalization of approximately $29 million, specializes in surgical and medical instruments and apparatus. It operates under the name 08 Industrial Applications and Services and is headquartered in New York, NY. Despite challenging market conditions, the company has achieved notable revenue growth of 47% in the last twelve months.
