Healthier Choices Management Provides Update on Recent Conversions of its Series C Preferred Stock
HOLLYWOOD, FL, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Healthier Choices Management Corp. (the “Company”) wishes to provide an update on the conversions of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Stock”) and other recent stock issuances.
As per the Company’s previous filings, on August 16, 2018, the Company entered into Warrant Exchange Agreements with certain holders of its Series A Warrants to exchange 46,048,318 Series A Warrants for 20,722 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Stock”). The Series A Warrants acquired by the Company in that exchange represented approximately 92% of the outstanding Series A Warrants and would have been convertible into 460,483,180,000 shares of Company common stock if exercised as of the date of the Warrant Exchange Agreements. This exchange reduced the amount of common stock to be converted from the Series A Warrants from 460,483,180,000 to 207,220,000,000 – an approximate 45% savings in dilution for the company and its common stock shareholders.
As further disclosed in previous filings, on September 25, 2020, the Company agreed to issue 20,150 Shares of the Series C Stock pursuant to Exchange Agreements with holders of its Series B Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding Series B Stock, none of which had previously been converted to common stock.
Since the issuance of 20,150 shares of Series C Stock, 19,234 shares have been converted into common stock, leaving only 916 shares of Series C Stock left for conversion. Approximately 95% of the Series C Stock has now been converted and cancelled.
In addition, since September 30, 2020, 625,000,000 stock options of the Company have been exercised into common stock. Finally, 2,250,000,000 shares of restricted stock has been issued pursuant to contractual agreements with the Company’s officers and directors.
The current outstanding share count of the Company’s common stock as of March 2, 2021 is 300,334,508,856.

The Company also sells vitamins and supplements on the Amazon.com marketplace through its wholly owned subsidiary Healthy U Wholesale, Inc. The Company markets its Q-Cup™ technology under the vape segment. This patented technology is based on a small, quartz cup called the Q-Cup™, which a customer can purchase already filled by a third party in some regions, or can partially fill themselves with either cannabis or CBD concentrate (approximately 50mg), also purchased from a third party. The Q-Cup™ can then be inserted into the patented Q-Unit™, which heats the cup from the outside without coming in direct contact with the solid concentrate. This Q-Cup™ and Q-Unit™ technology provides significantly more efficiency and an “on the go” solution for consumers who prefer to vape concentrates either medicinally or recreationally. The Q-Cup™ can also be used in other devices as a convenient micro-dosing system.
