Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 23, 2019, the Company completed an additional closing of a previously disclosed Private Placement pursuant to which the Company has sold and issued an additional 12.0% Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “2019 Notes”) in the principal amount of $775,000, together with five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire 775,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Together with the 2019 Notes and Warrants sold in prior closings (the first of which occurred on June 18, 2019), the Company has completed such Private Placement and sold and issued to accredited investors 2019 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,600,000, together with Warrants to acquire 2,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company, which Warrants may be exercised on a cash or cashless basis at an exercise price of $0.70 per share.

 

The 2019 Notes have a term of five years, bear interest at 12.0% per annum and are convertible at the option of the holder into one share of common stock of the Company with an initial conversion ratio equal to $0.50 per share. The Company shall have the right to force conversion of the 2019 Notes in the event the stock price of the Company’s common stock closes above $1.50 for ten consecutive trading days. The 2019 Notes shall be entitled to a profit participation preference (the “Profit Share”) equal to 1.0 times the original principal amount of the 2019 Notes. The Profit Share is “non-recourse” and shall only be derived from Net Litigation Proceeds (as defined in the 2019 Notes). The Profit Share, if not paid in full on or before the maturity date of the 2019 Notes, shall remain subject to the terms of the 2019 Notes until full and final payment. Upon conversion of the 2019 Notes, the Company shall have no further liability with respect to the payment of any Profit Share.

 

The securities have been issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), provided under Section 4(a)(2) thereof and pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D only to “accredited investors” (as defined under Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act) based in part on the representations and warranties of the Investors.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The securities described herein have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
