On February 26, 2025, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Lightbridge Corporation (the “Company”) designated one share of its undesignated preferred stock as Series X Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series X Preferred Stock”). On February 27, 2025, the Company issued one share of the Series X Preferred Stock to Jesse Funches (the “Purchaser”), the chair of the Company’s Audit Committee and an independent member of the Board, in a private placement, for an aggregate purchase price of $100. The share of Series X Preferred Stock was issued to the Purchaser in connection with the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to vote on a proposal to increase the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from 25,000,000 to 100,000,000 (the “Authorized Stock Increase”).

The Series X Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights except with respect to the proposal on the Authorized Stock Increase. Each share of Series X Preferred Stock will be entitled to 25,000,000 votes on such proposal, voting together with the holders of our common stock. The votes by the holder of Series X Preferred Stock will be cast at the Annual Meeting automatically in the same “mirrored” proportion as the aggregate votes cast “for” and “against” the proposal by the holders of our common stock who vote on such proposal (excluding abstentions, broker non-votes and shares of common stock that are not voted “for” or “against” such proposal). The voting power attributable to the Series X Preferred Stock will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

The Series X Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to a subscription and investor representation agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Company and the Purchaser. The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnification provisions for agreements of this type. The terms of the Series X Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designation of Series X Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on February 26, 2025.

The Series X Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The Series X Preferred Stock has no rights with respect to any distribution of assets of the Company, including upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, change of control, dissolution or winding up of the Company, in each case whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The Series X Preferred Stock will not entitle its holder to receive dividends of any kind.

The outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock will be redeemed in whole upon the earlier of (i) the order of the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective at such date and time as is determined and specified by the Board in its sole discretion, and (ii) automatically and effective immediately after the publishing or announcement by the Company of the final results of a stockholder vote on the Authorized Stock Increase. Upon such redemption, the holder of the Series X Preferred Stock will receive aggregate consideration of $100 (i.e., an amount equal to the original purchase price).

The foregoing description of the Series X Preferred Stock, Subscription Agreement and Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the Subscription Agreement and Certificate of Designation, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 3.1, respectively.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. The Series X Preferred Stock was issued to the Purchaser in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.
