Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Specified Articles of Incorporation and By-laws Provisions Preferred Stock.The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable the Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to gain control of Petros by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of us or stockholders, the Board could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, the Articles of Incorporation grant the Board broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of Petros. Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws provide that stockholders may take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not take action by written consent. Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of the Board or by our chief executive officer or, if the office of chief executive officer is vacant, our president.
