NOTE 14—CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

On October 8, 2021, the Company and each of its subsidiaries 1847 Asien, 1847 Wolo, 1847 Cabinet, entered into a note purchase agreement with two institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company issued to these purchasers secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $24,860,000. The notes contain an aggregate original issue discount of $497,200. As a result, the total purchase price was $24,362,800. After payment of expenses of $617,825, the Company received net proceeds of $23,744,975, of which $10,687,500 was used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets. In addition, as consideration for the financing, the Company granted the financing agent warrants for the purchase of 187,500 common shares with a fair value of $956,526 and 7.5% interest in High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets which had a fair value of $1,146,803. The agent fees were reflected as a discount against the convertible note payable with the warrants being included in additional paid in capital and the equity interest being including within noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining principal balance of the convertible notes at December 31, 2022 is $22,432,803, net of debt discounts of $2,427,197, and an accrued interest balance of $500,702.

The notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 4.75% plus the U.S. Prime Rate that appears in The Wall Street Journal from time to time or (ii) 8%; provided that, upon an event of default (as defined in the notes), such rate shall increase to 24% or the maximum legal rate. Payments of interest only, computed at such rate on the outstanding principal amount, will be due and payable quarterly in arrears commencing on January 1, 2022 and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter through and including the maturity date, October 8, 2026.

The Company may voluntarily prepay the notes in whole or in part upon payment of a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 10% of the principal and interest paid in connection with such prepayment. In addition, immediately upon receipt by the Company or any subsidiary of any proceeds from any issuance of indebtedness (other than certain permitted indebtedness), any proceeds of any sale or disposition by the Company or any subsidiary of any of the collateral or any of its respective assets (other than asset sales or dispositions in the ordinary course of business which are permitted by the note purchase agreement), or any proceeds from any casualty insurance policies or eminent domain, condemnation or similar proceedings, the Company must prepay the notes in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by the Company or a subsidiary in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-affiliates).

The holders of the notes may, in their sole discretion, elect to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the notes, and any accrued but unpaid interest on such portion, into common shares at a conversion price equal to $4.20 (subject to standard adjustments, including a full ratchet antidilution adjustment); provided that the notes contain certain beneficial ownership limitations.

Pursuant to the terms of the notes, until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the issuance date of the notes, the holders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any securities offering other than a permitted issuance (as defined in the note purchase agreement) in an amount of up to the original principal amount of the notes. In addition, the holders shall have the right of first refusal to participate in any issuance of indebtedness until the notes have been terminated; provided, however, that this right of first refusal shall not apply to permitted issuances.

The note purchase agreement and the notes contain customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative financial and other covenants and events of default for loans of this type. The notes are guaranteed by each subsidiary and are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

6% Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes

On October 8, 2021, a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets was paid by the issuance of 6% subordinated convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,880,345 by 1847 Cabinet to the H&I Sellers.

The notes bear interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum and are due and payable on October 8, 2024; provided that upon an event of default (as defined in the notes), such interest rate shall increase to ten percent (10%) per annum. 1847 Cabinet may prepay the notes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice to the holders of the notes.

At any time prior to October 8, 2022, the holders may, in their sole discretion, elect to convert up to twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount of the notes and all accrued, but unpaid, interest into such number of shares of the common stock of 1847 Cabinet determined by dividing the amount to be converted by a conversion price determined by dividing (i) the fair market value of 1847 Cabinet (determined in accordance with the notes) by (ii) the number of shares of 1847 Cabinet outstanding on a fully diluted basis. In addition, on October 8, 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the holders, pursuant to which the Company granted them the right to exchange all of the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under the notes or any portion thereof for a number of common shares to be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by an exchange price equal to the higher of (i) the 30-day volume weighted average price for the common shares on the primary national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which the common shares are traded over the thirty (30) trading days immediately prior to the applicable exchange date or (ii) $10.00 (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions).

The notes contain customary events of default, including in the event of a default under the secured convertible promissory notes described above. The rights of the holders to receive payments under the notes are subordinated to the rights of the purchasers under secured convertible promissory notes described above.

On July 26, 2022, the Company and 1847 Cabinet entered into a conversion agreement with the H&I Sellers, pursuant to which they agreed to convert an aggregate of $3,360,000 of the convertible notes into an aggregate of 800,000 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $4.20 per share. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,280,000. The remaining principal balance of the convertible notes at December 31, 2022 is $2,234,996, net of debt discounts of $285,350, and an accrued interest balance of $381,426.
