The Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock will have a fixed annual interest rate of 10.00% cumulatively accruing dividends. The regular dividends of the Perpetual Preferred Stock will be paid quarterly when declared by the Strategy board of directors and paid out of legally available funds for payment, on March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st of each year, starting on June 30, 2025.
