Since initiated in June 2018, the Series Q Preferred Shares have delivered an average 11.03% compound annual rate of return for its accredited investors over that almost seven-year period. There is a 5% load added to exit by conversion into Mentor Common shares that can then be sold according to public market regulations. The changing common share conversion closing price is based on a date periodically specified by management, which is currently September 17, 2024. This calculates out to a conversion of preferred to common at 10.5 cents per common share.
