Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 15, 2022 (“Closing Date”), BIGtoken., Inc. (“the Company”) entered into a simple agreement for future equity (the “SAFE”) with SRAX, Inc. (“SRAX”), its former parent company. Pursuant to the SAFE, SRAX agreed to invest one million dollars ($1,000,000) in the SAFE of which it has funded three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) on the Closing Date. SRAX is expected to fund an additional $700,000 within 60 days of the Closing Date. The amount funded into the SAFE at a given time is referred to herein as the “SAFE Amount”.
Pursuant to the terms of the SAFE, at any time that the Company sells its securities (a “Financing”) prior to the termination of the SAFE, SRAX may, at its option, convert the SAFE into: (i) the number of shares of non-voting Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) equal to such (a) SAFE Amount divided by (b) the lowest price per share of equity securities sold in any Financing (prior to the termination of the SAFE) multiplied by eighty percent (80%) (the “Conversion Price”) and (ii) such number of warrants to purchase Series D Preferred Stock (the “Warrants”) equal to the SAFE Amount divided by the Conversion Price. Upon issuance, the Warrants will (i) have a term of five (5) years, (ii) an exercise price equal to the Conversion Price, and (iii) contain price protection provisions for subsequent financings.
The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting (except as required by law), subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (up to 9.99% on 61 days’ notice) and otherwise on parity with the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) with regard to its rights, preferences and limitations. There are 252,078 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding that are convertible into 149,562,566,584 shares of Common Stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, all of which are held by SRAX.
Upon certain “Liquidity Events” as defined in the SAFE, including but not limited to a “Change of Control”, as defined in the SAFE, SRAX will automatically be entitled to receive a portion of the proceeds due and payable upon such Liquidity Event equal to the greater of, at the election of SRAX: (i) the SAFE amount, (ii) the amount payable on the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the SAFE amount divided by the Conversion Price, or (iii) such number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants equal to the SAFE Amount divided by the Conversion Price.
Upon a dissolution or bankruptcy (a “Dissolution Event”), as described in the SAFE, SRAX will be entitled to (subject to liquidation prior of indebtedness and creditor claims), receive a portion of the proceeds qual to the SAFE Amount.
The SAFE automatically terminates immediately following the earliest to occur of (i) the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock to SRAX pursuant to the full conversion of the SAFE Amount or (ii) payment of amounts due pursuant to a Liquidity Event or Dissolution Event.
The foregoing summary of the SAFE is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, a copy of the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.01, and which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
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 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.

THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN THIS SAFE AND UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
BIGTOKEN, INC.
SAFE
(Simple Agreement for Future Equity)
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, in exchange for the payment by SRAX, Inc. (the “Investor”) of $[*] (the “Purchase Amount”) on or about February 10, 2022, BIGtoken, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), issues to the Investor the right to certain securities of the Company’s, subject to the terms described below.
The “Discount Rate” is 80%.
The “Warrant Coverage” is 100%.
See Section 2 for certain additional defined terms.
1. Events
(a) Financing. At any time there is a Financing prior to the termination of this Safe, this Safe may be converted, at the option of the Investor, into: (i) the number of shares of Safe Preferred Stock equal to the applicable Purchase Amount divided by the Discount Price and (ii) Warrants to purchase such number of shares of Safe Preferred Stock equal to the applicable Purchase Amount divided by the Discount Price. Provided that upon conversion of the Safe, in no event will the number of Warrants held by Investor exceed such number of shares equal to the applicable Purchase Amount divided by the Discount Price.
In connection with the conversion of this Safe into shares of Safe Preferred Stock and Warrants, the Investor will execute and deliver to the Company all of the transaction documents related to the Financing; provided, that such documents (i) are the same documents to be entered into with the purchasers of the Financing, with appropriate variations for the Safe Preferred Stock if applicable, and (ii) have customary exceptions to any drag-along applicable to the Investor, including (without limitation) limited representations, warranties, liability and indemnification obligations for the Investor.
(b) Liquidity Event. If there is a Liquidity Event before the termination of this Safe, this Safe will automatically be entitled (subject to the liquidation priority set forth in Section 1(d) below) to receive a portion of Proceeds, due and payable to the Investor immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the consummation of such Liquidity Event, equal to, at the election of the Investor, the greater of (i) the Purchase Amount (the “Cash-Out Amount”), (ii) the amount payable on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Discount Price or (iii) such number of shares of Safe Preferred Stock and Warrants equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Discount Price (the “Conversion Amount”). If any of the Company’s securityholders are given a choice as to the form and amount of Proceeds to be received in a Liquidity Event, the Investor will be given the same choice, provided that the Investor may not choose to receive a form of consideration that the Investor would be ineligible to receive as a result of the Investor’s failure to satisfy any requirement or limitation generally applicable to the Company’s securityholders, or under any applicable laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Change of Control intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, the Company may reduce the cash portion of Proceeds payable to the Investor by the amount determined by its board of directors in good faith for such Change of Control to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that such reduction (A) does not reduce the total Proceeds payable to such Investor and (B) is applied in the same manner and on a pro rata basis to all securityholders who have equal priority to the Investor under Section 1(d).
(c) Dissolution Event. If there is a Dissolution Event before the termination of this Safe, the Investor will automatically be entitled (subject to the liquidation priority set forth in Section 1(d) below) to receive a portion of Proceeds equal to the Cash-Out Amount, due and payable to the Investor immediately prior to the consummation of the Dissolution Event.
(d) Liquidation Priority. In a Liquidity Event or Dissolution Event, this Safe is intended to operate like standard non-participating Preferred Stock. The Investor’s right to receive its Cash-Out Amount is:
(i) Junior to payment of outstanding indebtedness and creditor claims, including contractual claims for payment and convertible promissory notes (to the extent such convertible promissory notes are not actually or notionally converted into Capital Stock);
(ii) On par with payments for other Safes and/or Preferred Stock, and if the applicable Proceeds are insufficient to permit full payments to the Investor and such other Safes and/or Preferred Stock, the applicable Proceeds will be distributed pro rata to the Investor and such other Safes and/or Preferred Stock in proportion to the full payments that would otherwise be due; and
(iii) Senior to payments for Common Stock.
The Investor’s right to receive its Conversion Amount is (A) on par with payments for Common Stock and other Safes and/or Preferred Stock who are also receiving Conversion Amounts or Proceeds on a similar as-converted to Common Stock basis, and (B) junior to payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) above (in the latter case, to the extent such payments are Cash-Out Amounts or similar liquidation preferences).
(e) Termination. This Safe will automatically terminate (without relieving the Company of any obligations arising from a prior breach of or non-compliance with this Safe) immediately following the earliest to occur of: (i) the issuance of all Safe Preferred Stock to the Investor pursuant to the conversion of the entire Purchase Price of this Safe under Section 1(a); or (ii) the payment, or setting aside for payment, of amounts due the Investor pursuant to Section 1(b) or Section 1(c).
