FAQs

When and where are Knightscope’s shares listed?

Knightscope’s Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under ticker symbol “KSCP”. No other class of securities of Knightscope are listed on Nasdaq.

When will Preferred stockholders be able to start trading shares purchased during prior Regulation A Offerings and/or Private Placements?

Stockholders holding shares of Preferred Stock of Knightscope will first need to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Class A common stock before trading or moving shares out of a Computershare account to a brokerage account. See “STOCK CONVERSION – Did my Preferred Stock automatically convert to Class A common stock when Knightscope was publicly listed?” below. You can also buy shares of Knightscope’s Class A common stock in the open market on most trading platforms such as Robinhood, Fidelity, E-Trade, or whatever your favorite broker might be.

How many classes of shares does the Company have?

Knightscope presently has three classes of stock, designated Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Preferred Stock. The Company has issued eight different series of Preferred Stock. Only the Class A common stock is listed for trading on Nasdaq.

Does Knightscope pay dividends?

Not at this time. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board, subject to, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition and other considerations.

What is a transfer agent?

Transfer agents maintain a record of ownership, including contact information, of an issuer’s registered stockholders or bonds.

You may, in general, deposit any Class A common shares with a broker. If you currently hold Preferred Stock, those shares must first be converted into Class A common stock before the shares can be transferred to a brokerage account. Until you deposit your shares in a brokerage account, the transfer agent will maintain the record of your ownership. Once you deposit your shares with a broker, the broker will maintain that record. (Please see the section below for more information on “How do I move my shares to a brokerage account after the stock is listed on NASDAQ?”

Who are Knightscope’s transfer agents?

For all equity holdings, Computershare is Knightscope’s transfer agent.

For bonds, Great Lakes Fund Solutions Inc. serves as the depositary, paying agent, and registrar.

How do I trade my stock if I don’t own Class A common stock?

Effective November 1, 2021, Computershare now serves as Knightscope’s transfer agent. All accounts previously held at Carta, the former transfer agent, were moved to Computershare.

Please Note: When shares were migrated from Carta to Computershare, Carta marked all shares as ‘cancelled’ on its platform. However, that does not mean your shares were cancelled – they are held at Computershare.

Stockholders who purchased Class B common stock or any series of Preferred Stock are able to convert their shares into Class A common stock by submitting a Conversion Notice to Computershare. The form can be found here.

Once converted, stock that was purchased in one of our prior Regulation A offerings will be freely tradable through your Investor Center account at Computershare, (www.computershare.com/investor) once you’ve registered your account online, or by using the broker of your choice. Stock that was purchased in one of our prior private placements will be freely tradable through your Computershare account or the broker of your choice, subject to certain conditions (generally, that the stock has been held for more than one year (or 6 months after we have been an SEC reporting company for 90 days) and that the stockholder is not an “affiliate” of Knightscope within the meaning of the SEC’s rules and regulations). This means that investors who purchased stock in one of our prior private placements may not be able to immediately trade those shares until restrictive legends are removed.

How do I access the Investor Center?

At the end of 2021, stockholders of record were advised about Knightscope’s change of transfer agents, from Carta to Computershare. Computershare’s Investor Center will provide you access to your account details and statements.

To log into Computershare, please visit: www.computershare.com/investor.

You can register your account with or without your account code. However, it should be a faster process to register using your account code. To protect our stockholders, some extra steps are required to access the Investor Center.

To access the Investor Center, stockholders will be required to properly answer questions only they may know and, thereafter, an access code will be mailed through the U.S. Post Office to the stockholder. Immediate access to the Investor Center will not be granted if the security process cannot be successfully completed. Do not be alarmed if the security questions you are asked do not apply to you. It is simply a security verification process.

What happens to my stock if the Company cannot contact me?

State law governs the Company’s obligations to surrender stock to the state if it cannot locate a stockholder after a period of time. Thus, stockholders are encouraged to keep their addresses up to date with the transfer agent.

What if I hold a paper stock certificate?

If you hold a paper certificate, Computershare, upon request, will provide instructions on how to turn in your paper certificate and convert those shares into book form via the online conversion portal.

Does Knightscope issue 1099’s or K-1’s?

Knightscope is a C-Corp and, therefore, does not issue K-1’s. Computershare will issue 1099’s, as required by law, based on financial transactions related to any sales of the stock. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your tax ID has been certified. This can be done through your Investor Center account.

What number should my broker use to contact Computershare?

The Dedicated Broker Inquiry Specialist Team can be reached at
1-866-690-8162.

The number for international brokers is 1-781-575-4019.

Did my Preferred Stock automatically convert to Class A common stock when Knightscope was publicly listed?

No. There was not an automatic conversion of any class of stock upon listing the Class A common stock on Nasdaq. Your stock can be converted at any time at the discretion of the stockholder.

Below please find a summary of the conversion features of Knightscope’s various classes of stock.

Series A Preferred Stock convertible to Class B common stock
Series B Preferred Stock convertible to Class B common stock
Series m Preferred Stock convertible to Class A common stock
Series m-1 Preferred Stock convertible to Class A common stock
Series m-2 Preferred Stock convertible to Class B common stock
Series m-3 Preferred Stock convertible to Class A common stock
Series m-4 Preferred Stock convertible to Class A common stock
Series S Preferred Stock convertible to Class A common stock
Class B common stock convertible to Class A common stock

In order to ultimately convert your shares into Class A common stock, more than one conversion may be required. More specifically, if you hold shares of Preferred Stock that converts into Class B common stock and you wish to convert those shares into Class A common stock, you will need to first convert your shares of Preferred Stock into Class B common stock and then convert your shares of Class B common stock into Class A common stock.

Please note that there may be additional shares of Class A common stock issuable as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion ratio for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series m Preferred Stock, Series m-1 Preferred Stock, Series m-2 Preferred Stock, and Series S Preferred Stock. After applying the applicable conversion ratio to the conversion calculation, fractional shares may result. If this is the case, Computershare will refund you the value of those fractional shares, as determined by the Company. If you are interested in learning about the conversion ratio and calculation, please click here to view the Knightscope, Inc. Certificate As To Adjustments.

ATTENTION Non-US Investors:

All non-US investors must submit requests to convert shares via the Conversion Notice form.

I invested through SeedInvest. How do I go about getting my shares to be able to trade them?

The transfer from the custodian accounts to the beneficial owners was completed by Computershare in late December 2021. On or about December 29, 2021, holders of Series m Preferred Stock should have received an email from donotreply@knightscopeconversion.com with a new Computershare account code to be used to access your Investor Center account. Please check your email account under which your shares were registered (and your spam folder), as they contain important information, including your account code. Effective November 1, 2023, the online conversion portal will no longer be available and all conversions will be required to be submitted via written notice to Computershare via this form: https://ir.knightscope.com/static-files/659e9465-ef33-4b4c-bc34-194145eaa7c9.

International investors will need to submit the conversion form to Computershare in order to convert their Series m Preferred Stock. (See above: Will my Preferred Stock automatically convert to Class A Common Stock when Knightscope is publicly listed?)

I invested through StartEngine. How do I go about getting my shares to be able to trade them?

Shares purchased through StartEngine are held at our transfer agent (Computershare). You will be able to manage your shares directly through the transfer agent by registering the account code provided to you on November 19, 2021.

I invested through SeedInvest and StartEngine. Will my stock be converted automatically?

You can convert your Preferred Stock to Class A common stock, at your discretion, via written notice to Computershare using this form https://ir.knightscope.com/static-files/659e9465-ef33-4b4c-bc34-194145eaa7c9. Once converted, you will be able to deposit the Class A common stock into a brokerage account, if so desired.

If you purchased stock through SeedInvest, those shares, upon transfer into your name, were likely deposited into a separate Computershare account from your Series S Preferred Stock purchased through StartEngine.
