Stockholders’ Equity

 Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Board of Directors of the Company approved, on April 13, 2020, a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which every 50 shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be reverse split, reconstituted and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company submitted an Issuer Company Related Action Notification regarding the Reverse Stock Split to FINRA on April 14, 2020. To effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, the Company filed on April 21, 2020 a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada subject to FINRA approval. On June 8, 2020 FINRA advised the Company that such request is deficient due to the fact that a holder of an outstanding convertible note of the Company had entered into two settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission that related to securities laws violations but were in no way related to the Company. As a result, FINRA advised that it is necessary for the protection of investors, the public interest, and to maintain fair and orderly markets that documentation related to the Reverse Stock Split not be processed. The Company appealed the decision made by FINRA on June 15, 2020. On August 4, 2020, FINRA notified the Company that its appeal had been denied. On October 25, 2021 FINRA approved the Reverse Stock Split and on October 26, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1 for 50 reverse stock split.

In July 7, 2022 the Company filed a preliminary information statement to the stockholders of record (the “Record Date”) in connection with certain actions to be taken by the written consent by stockholders holding a majority of the voting stock of the Company, dated as of June 28, 2022.

● To amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company from 2,000,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares. This action concluded on August 11, 2022.

● (i) authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to effect, in its sole discretion, a reverse stock split of the Common Stock in a ratio of up to 1-for-500 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and (ii) authorize the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to implement the Reverse Stock Split and any other action deemed necessary to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, without further approval or authorization of stockholders, at any time prior to December 31, 2023. This action was not commenced yet by the Company’s board.

● Of 5,500,000 Shares issued for cash of $231,866; and

● Of 500,000,000 Shares issued to Metaverse for certain equity method investment. The value of the shares of $5,000 was determined based on the FV of the Company’s common stock; and

Series B Preferred Shares

The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $30 per share representing 30 posts split common shares. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock votes on an as converted basis and carries standard anti-dilution rights. These rights were subsequently removed, except in cases of stock dividends or splits.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares outstanding.

Series C Preferred Shares

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of GV, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The Conversion Price for each share is equal to a 50% discount to the average of the lowest three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 10-day trading period prior to the conversion with a minimum conversion price of $0.02. The stated value is $11 per share (the “Stated Value”). The Series C Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into. GV has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Series C Preferred Stock and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

On December 17, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), GBT Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an equity financing agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”), pursuant to which GHS shall purchase from the Company, up to that number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) for $10,000,000, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Financing Agreement from time to time over the course of 24 months after an effective registration of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC (the “Contract Period”).

The Equity Financing Agreement grants the Company the right, from time to time at its sole discretion (subject to certain conditions) during the Contract Period, to direct GHS to purchase shares of Common Stock on any business day (a “Put”), provided that at least ten trading days has passed since the most recent Put. The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock contained in a Put will be 90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten consecutive trading days preceding the receipt by GHS of the applicable Put notice. Such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, during the Contract Period. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Equity Financing Agreement, on each Put the Company will deliver an number of Shares equaling 110% of the dollar amount of each Put. The maximum dollar amount of each Put will not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume for the Company’s Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the Trading Day that GHS receives a Put. No Put will be made in an amount equaling less than $10,000 or greater than $500,000. Puts are further limited to GHS owning no more than 4.99% of the outstanding stock of the Company at any given time. The Equity Financing Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, obligations, rights, warranties, agreements and conditions of the parties. The Equity Financing Agreement terminates upon any of the following events: when GHS has purchased $10,000,000 in the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement; on the date that is 24 calendar months from the date the Equity Financing Agreement was executed.

Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not receive any proceeds from the equity purchase agreement.
