SECTION 1 REGISTRANTS BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On December 11, 2014, World Moto Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Company) issued Debentures to certain accredited investors (the Investors) in the aggregate principal amount of $543,378 for a purchase price of $500,000 (8% original issue discount). The Debentures were issued pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated April 4, 2014, between the Company and the Investors. The Debentures accrue interest at the rate of 12% annually and have a maturity date of December 11, 2015. The Company is obligated to make amortization payments beginning on the six month anniversary of the issuance date of the Debentures and continuing monthly thereafter. The Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at any time at the discretion of the Investors at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 70% of the lowest traded price per share of the common stock during the twenty five (25) trading days prior to the date of conversion.
The conversion price of the Debentures is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection upon the occurrence of stock dividends, stock splits, sales of securities of the Company, rights offerings, certain pro rata distributions or a certain fundamental transactions as defined in the Debentures. The Company also has a right of redemption with respect to some or all of the outstanding principal balance under the Debentures.
The Debentures include customary events of default, such as defaults in payment, breaches of covenants or agreements, or changes in control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding principal and interest (which shall accrue at 18% per annum after the event of default) under the Debentures will be due and shall also be convertible at the lesser of the conversion price and 60% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the five (5) trading days in the preceding twenty (20) trading days that have the lowest VWAP during such period.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors previously entered into a Security Agreement granting the collateral agent named in the Security Agreement, on behalf of the Investors, a lien on all of the assets of the Company (the Collateral). In the event of a default as defined in the Debentures, the Investors may among other things, collect or take possession of the Collateral, proceed with the foreclosure of the security interest in the Collateral or sell, lease or dispose of the Collateral.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Debenture, filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
