$10,000,000 for GBT Technologies S. A. acquisition

In accordance with the acquisition of GBT-CR the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $10,000,000. The convertible note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of the holder, the convertible note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share). The convertible note is convertible into common stock at a fixed price that was higher than the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, therefore, this convertible note does not contain a beneficial conversion feature. Due to stock split (See Note 1) the conversion feature is substantially not in the money. The parties are in negotiations to address the issue per the Note holder demands to mitigate its damages. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in resolving this issue.

Glen Eagles Acquisition LP

On July 8, 2019, the Company entered a Consulting Agreement with Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“Glen”) as consultant to provide services in connection with the Company’s acquisition of 25% of GBT Technologies, S.A., a Costa Rican corporation (“GBT-CR”). Consultant will provide analysis, interaction with related professional and other services as requested by the Company to integrate and expand capabilities between GBT-CR and the Company. The Company shall pay Glen $1,000,000 through the issuance of a 6% Convertible Note. At the election of Glen, the Convertible Note can be converted into a maximum of 2,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share). The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible into. In addition, the Company entered into an Amendment of a Common Stock Purchase Warrant held by Glen to acquire nine million shares of common stock that had been assigned to Glen by Guardian Patch LLC. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company agreed to provide that the Common Stock Purchase Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis and provided a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. On or about June 23, 2020, the Company and AltCorp entered into agreements with SURG and Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“Glen”) into series of agreements regarding the $4,000,000 SURG Note. (See Note 4) Glen converted in full its $1,000,000 convertible note that was issued by the Company on July 8, 2019 plus $50,000 of accrued interest, into $1,050,000 of a SURG Note via an assignment of a portion ($1,050,000 of a $4,000,000 face value) of the $4,000,000 SURG Note. In addition, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Glen for which the Company shall pay to Glen $200,000 via an assignment of a portion ($200,000 of a $4,000,000 face value) of the $4,000,000 SURG Note. Glen in turn will convert all its $1,250,000 considerations received into 2,500,000 SURG shares (See Note 17).

Stanley Hills LLC

The Company entered into a series of loan agreements with Stanley Hills LLC (“Stanley”) pursuant to which it received more than $1,000,000 in loans (the “Debt”) since May 2019 up to December 2019. On February 26, 2020, in order to induce Stanley to continue to provide funding, the Company and Stanley entered into a letter agreement providing that the current note payable balance due to Stanley (See Note 9) in the amount of $1,214,900 may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 85% multiplied by the lowest one trading price for the common stock during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Since the conversion price will vary based on the Company’s stock price, the beneficial conversion feature associated with this note is accounted for as a derivative liability. Stanley has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Debt and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. During 2020, Stanley converted $583,889 of its convertible note into 67,282,583 shares of the Company’s common stock, and during 2020, Stanley loaned the Company an additional $547,097. The balance of the Stanley debt at December 31, 2020 was $1,009,469. The Stanley debt is secured via a pledge agreement on the SURG shares (See Note 4).

Iliad Research and Trading, L.P.

On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with a third-party investor - Iliad Research and Trading, L.P.(“Iliad”), pursuant to which the Company issued a promissory note for the original principal amount of $2,325,000. The promissory note had an original issue discount of $300,000 and the inventor paid consideration of $2,025,000 to the Company, of which $25,000 was paid for legal expenses. The outstanding balance of the promissory note is to be paid on the one-year anniversary of the issuance of the note. Interest on the note accrues at the rate of 10% per annum compounding daily. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the note at any time in an amount in cash equal to 120% of the amount repaid. In connection with transactions that generate less than $1,000,000 in proceeds, the Company has agreed to not issue any debt instrument or incurrence of any debt other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business, any securities or agreements to sell common stock with anti-dilution or price reset/reduction features or any securities that are or may be become convertible or exercisable into common stock with a price that varies with the market price of the common stock (collectively, “Restricted Issuance Transaction”). The outstanding balance of the Note will be increased by 5% in the event the Company enters into a Restricted Issuance Transaction that is approved by Iliad. The original issue discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the promissory note.

On February 27, 2020, the Company and Iliad entered into an Amendment to the Iliad Note (See Note 9) pursuant to which the maturity date of the Iliad Note was extended to August 27, 2020, provided that the Debt may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 80% multiplied by the lowest trading daily VWAP for the common stock during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date, provided for the payment by the Company to Iliad of an extension fee equal to 7.5% of the outstanding balance of the Iliad Note resulting in a new balance of the Iliad Note of $2,765,983 and provided that the Company’s failure to deliver shares of common stock within three trading days of a conversion would result in an event of default. Since the conversion price will vary based on the Company’s stock price, the beneficial conversion feature associated with this note is accounted for as a derivative liability. Iliad has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Iliad Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. On July 20, 2020 the Company and Iliad entered into agreement to extend the maturity of the Iliad Note until February 27, 2021 in consideration of an extension fee of $1,000. During 2020, Iliad converted $539,000 of its convertible note to 53,175,795 shares of the Company’s common stock. The balance of the Iliad debt at December 31, 2020 was $2,446,746, including accrued interest of $14,905. (See Note 17 for additional extension of this note)
