Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 21, 2016, Inventergy Global, Inc. (“Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Investors in a private placement 2,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), each having a stated value of $1,000, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.5 million. The Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into 1,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, at an initial conversion price equal to $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment. After July 26, 2016, the conversion price will be equal to the lesser of (a) the conversion price then in effect or (b) 65% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for ten consecutive days prior to the applicable conversion date. The Series C Preferred Stock contains provisions providing for an adjustment in the conversion price upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, dilutive equity issuances and fundamental transactions. The Company may redeem some or all of the Series C Preferred Stock for cash as follows: (i) on or prior to March 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 126% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding, (ii) after March 26, 2016 and on or prior to July 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 144% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding and (iii) after July 26, 2016, in an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding.

Each Investor also received a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 85% of such Investor’s subscription amount divided by $1.50. The Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years commencing six months after the closing of the transaction at a cash exercise price of $1.79 per share. In the event that the shares underlying the Warrants are not subject to a registration statement at the time of exercise, the Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis after six months from the issuance date. The Warrants also contain provisions providing for an adjustment in the exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, dilutive equity issuances (so long as the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding) and fundamental transactions. Notwithstanding the forgoing, until the Company obtains Shareholder Approval (as defined below), the exercise price may not be reduced as a result of a dilutive equity issuance below $1.79 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events (“Adjustment Floor”).

The Purchase Agreement requires the Company to hold a special meeting of stockholders to seek the approval of the holders of its common stock for the issuance of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock and the removal of the Adjustment Floor within 120 days of the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Shareholder Approval”).  Until the Company obtains the Shareholder Approval, the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock is limited to 19.99% of the currently outstanding common stock. Additionally, until the Series C Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding, the Investors may participate in future offerings for up to 50% of the amount of such offerings.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including covenants relating to public reporting, Shareholder Approval and the use of proceeds.  The closing of the transaction is anticipated to occur on or about January 26, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, including verbal approval of the NASDAQ Capital Market to list the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants.

Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) is acting as the sole placement agent for the offering. The Placement Agent will receive a commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering for an aggregate commission of $250,000. The Placement Agent will also be entitled to receive a cash fee from the exercise of the Warrants. The Company will pay for the Investors’ legal expenses in an amount up to $25,000.

The securities offered 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 or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

The foregoing summaries of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each such document. Copies of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and they are incorporated herein by reference.
