The closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 6, 2023, as reported by Nasdaq, was $8.84 per share, so the Warrants in respect of the initial advance under the Note were exercisable for up to 452,489 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrants had an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the common stock of the Company on the date of the issuance of the Note, or $8.84 per share and a term of five- and one-half (5½) years following the initial exercise date. The initial exercise date of the Warrants would be the date stockholder approval was received and effective allowing exercisability of the Warrants under Nasdaq rules. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, an additional advance of $600,000 could be made to the Company under the Note. The Company’s obligations under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The Company measured the warrants granted on January 6, 2023 at $3,715,557, and discounted the note payable to $0 and recorded a derivative expense of $1,715,557.

 

On October 11, 2023, the Company entered into a loan and security modification agreement (the “Loan and Security Modification Agreement”) with the Lenders and the Agent amending the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated January 6, 2023 (the “LSA”) by and among the Company, the Lenders and the Agent to make an additional loan of $1,000,000 (the “New Loan”) and modify the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement to reflect the New Loan. The modification of the original January 6, 2023, loan represented a material modification, and the original loan was extinguished, and the New Loan in the amount of $3,000,000 was recorded. As a result of the extinguishment, the Company recognized there was no gain or loss recognized as all of the discounts associated with the original notes were fully amortized. On October 11, 2023, the Company recognized a discount related to the issuance of the warrants noted below that would be amortized through the maturity date of the New Loan, April 11, 2024.

 

In addition, on October 11, 2023, the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase up to 8,460 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $138 per share (the “October Warrants”).

 

The Company recorded a derivative liability related to the warrants granted with the October 11, 2023 amendment in the amount of $290,514. This discount is being amortized over the life of the note.

 

On December 6, 2023, the Company entered into an inducement offer letter agreement (the “Inducement Letter”) with Armistice with regard to certain of the Company’s existing warrants to purchase up to a total of 248,611 shares of Common Stock, consisting of: (i) 70,508 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued on September 28, 2022 each at an exercise price of $35.46 per share with a term of five year (the “September 2022 Five Year Warrants”); (ii) 155,479 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued on September 28, 2022 each at an exercise price of $70.92 per share with a term of seven and one half years (the “September 2022 Seven and a Half Year Warrants”); and (iii) 22,625 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued on January 6, 2023 (the “January 2023 Warrants” and, together with the September 2022 Five Year Warrants and the September 2022 Seven and a Half Year Warrants, the “2022 and 2023 Warrants”).

 


 

Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, Armistice agreed to exercise for cash the 2022 and 2023 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 248,611 shares of Common Stock at a reduced exercise price of $5.88 per share in consideration of the Company’s agreement to issue common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 497,221 shares of Common Stock (the “December Warrants”). The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,461,827.68 from the exercise of the 2022 and 2023 Warrants by the Holder, before deducting offering expenses payable by it. The transaction closed on December 7, 2023.

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company and the Lenders and the Agent agreed to modify the Loan and Security Agreement such that the Note became convertible into up to 499,584 shares of Common Stock based on the agreed to conversion price of $6.40. The Company believed that the $6.40 conversion price met the definition of “Minimum Price” in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

 

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Lenders and the Agent agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to voluntarily convert all amounts owed under the Note on or prior to the last trading day before the trading day on which the next meeting of the Company’s shareholders would take place.

 

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company and the Lenders and the Agent agreed that following shareholder approval, which the Company obtained on May 15, 2024, the October Warrants and December Warrants have been amended to lower the exercise price of such warrants to $3.20 per share.

 

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company agreed that Slinger Bag Americas Inc., a Delaware subsidiary of the Company (“Slinger”) would, within ten (10) business days of the six month anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 registering the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Note (the “Effectiveness Date”), pay in cash to the Lenders and the Agent the difference, if any, between (i) $6 million (the “Guaranteed Amount”) and (ii) the combined gross proceeds realized by the Lenders and the Agent from its sale of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to (a) conversions of the Note and (b) exercises of the October Warrants and December Warrants(the “Realized Amount”). Slinger is obligated to fund an escrow account with $2 million within ten (10) weeks of February 21, 2024. The Company and the Lenders and the Agent also agreed that if, due to a Force Majeure Event, the Lenders and the Agent had not fully converted the Note prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Date, the Company would repurchase the Note and the October Warrants and December Warrants by paying in cash to the Lenders and the Agent the difference, if any, between the Guaranteed Amount and the Realized Amount.

 

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company and the Lenders and the Agent agreed that once the Note was fully repaid (either via a combination of cash payments and conversions into shares of Common Stock or just via conversions into shares of Common Stock) all liens and security interests of the Lenders and the Agent in any and all of the property of the Company and the Guarantors (as defined in the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement) would be automatically released and terminated, including without limitation, any liens and security interests evidenced by Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.

 

 

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 registering the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Note with the SEC within five (5) business days of February 21, 2024 and use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practical thereafter and, in any event, within thirty (30) calendar days of February 21, 2024. A registration statement was filed and became effective on March 1, 2024 in compliance with this obligation.

 

On April 15, 2024, the Company acknowledged and agreed to the entrance into a warrant purchase agreement (the “Morgan WPA”) by Armistice and Morgan Capital LLC (“Morgan”) pursuant to which Armistice sold the October and December 2023 Warrants to Morgan for $2,500,000 in cash.

In addition, pursuant to the Morgan WPA, Armistice agreed that the obligation of Slinger Bag Americas to maintain an escrow account with its counsel in the amount of no less than $2,000,000 would be terminated and of no further effect and force. Armistice further agreed that any and all liens and security interests of Armistice in any and all of the property of the Company and the Guarantors (as such terms are defined in the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement) would be automatically released and terminated, including without limitation, any liens and security interests evidenced by Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.
