This Offering Circular Supplement No. 1 (the “Supplement”) relates to the Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 4 of RDE, Inc. (the “Company”), dated November 17, 2020 and qualified on November 24, 2020 (the “Offering Circular”), relating to the Company’s public offering under Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for Tier 2 offerings, pursuant to which the Company is currently offering shares of common stock of our company on a “best efforts” basis. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Offering Circular and is qualified by reference to the Offering Circular except to the extent that the information contained herein supplements or supersedes the information contained in the Offering Circular and may not be delivered without the Offering Circular, including any amendments or supplements thereto.

 

This Supplement is being filed to provide updated disclosure to reflect that, effective December 2, 2020, the Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC as its broker of record for the offering of shares of our common stock. This Supplement also is being filed to include additional information regarding the full or partial payoff of certain institutional and individual convertible debt holders of the Company as set forth below.

 

INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ AND CONSIDER THE “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 7 OF THE OFFERING CIRCULAR.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if the Offering Circular or this Supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this Supplement No. 1 to Offering Circular is December 14, 2020.

 

Effective December 2, 2020, we have engaged Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore Group”) to serve as our broker of record to assist in the sale of our shares of common stock pursuant to Regulation A. Dalmore Group will receive compensation for sales of our common stock offered hereby at a fixed fee rate of 1% of the gross proceeds we receive with respect to each share of Common Stock sold in for which Dalmore Group acts as broker of record. See “Plan of Distribution.” All capitalized items used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Offering Circular.

(1) The offering price is based on the Company having a $30 million valuation or 2.9 times its 2019 revenue compared to comparable companies trading between 6-9 times their revenues and its view that the current $0.60 per share price on the OTC:QB is an artificially low price based upon the absence of an active public and shareholder relations effort, a thinly traded stock and what it expects to be the temporary depressing impact on the restaurant business from the COVID-19 pandemic.
   
(2) See “Plan of Distribution” for details of the compensation payable to Dalmore Group. Dalmore Group will act as our broker/dealer of record for this Offering. We will pay Dalmore Group a cash fee of 1% of the gross proceeds we receive with respect to the sale of our shares of common stock in this Offering.
   
(3) The Company expects to spend approximately $140,000 in expenses relating to this Offering, including legal, accounting, travel, printing and other miscellaneous expenses, not including state filing fees.

Common Stock Outstanding 8,904,365 as of December 10, 2020

Risk Factors You should carefully consider the information set forth in this Offering Circular and, in particular, the specific factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 7 of this Offering Circular before deciding whether or not to invest in our common stock.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Currently, we plan to have our directors and executive officers sell the shares in this Offering. They will receive no discounts or commissions. Our executive officers will deliver this Offering Circular to those persons who they believe might have interest in purchasing all or a part of this offering. We may generally solicit investors, including, but not limited to, the use of social media, newscasts, advertisements, roadshows and the like.

 

Our directors and officers will not register as broker-dealers under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the Offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. The conditions are that:

 

the person meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (i) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (ii) is not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and (iii) does not participate in selling and Offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

 

 

 

Our officers and directors are not statutorily disqualified, are not being compensated, and are not associated with a broker-dealer. They are and will continue to hold their positions as officers or directors following the completion of the Offering and have not been during the past 12 months and are currently not brokers or dealers or associated with brokers or dealers. They have not nor will they participate in the sale of securities of any issuer more than once every 12 months.

 

Our Common Stock is not listed on any national securities exchange or the NASDAQ stock market. However, our stock is quoted on the OTC:QB Venture Market under the symbol “RSTN.” While our Common Stock is on the Venture Market, there has been limited trading volume. There is no guarantee that an active trading market will develop in our securities. Accordingly, our shares should be considered highly illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.

 

Upon this Offering Circular being qualified by the SEC, the Company may offer and sell shares from time to time until all of the shares registered are sold; however, this Offering will terminate one year from the qualification date of this amended Offering Circular, unless extended or terminated by the Company. The Company may terminate this Offering at any time and may also extend the Offering term by 90 days.

 

There can be no assurances that we will sell any or all of the securities. All shares will be offered on a “best efforts” basis.

 

All of the foregoing and following may affect the marketability of our securities. Should any fundamental change occur regarding the status or other matters concerning the selling shareholders or us, we will file an amendment to this Offering Circular disclosing such matters.

 

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this Offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

 

We are offering up to 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for $3.50 per share, for a total of up to $7,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, assuming all securities are sold. There is no minimum investment established for investors and no minimum Offering amount. We may sell significantly fewer shares of common stock than those offered hereby. All accepted subscription funds will be immediately available for our use. We may, in our sole discretion, choose to accept the cancelation of debt owed by us as consideration for shares of common stock offered hereby. Any shares of Common Stock sold for debt cancellation shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as other shares sold hereunder, including the purchase price for such shares.

 

All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable until accepted or rejected by the Company and should be delivered to us at the address provided in the subscription agreement. A subscription agreement executed by a subscriber is not binding on us until it is accepted on our behalf by our CEO or by specific resolution of our Board of Directors. We may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion.

 

We will deliver stock certificates to the purchasers within five days from request by a shareholder; otherwise shareholders’ shares may be noted and held in our corporate shareholder register.

 

Effective December 2, 2020, Dalmore Group has agreed to act as our broker of record in connection with the sale of our Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of a Broker-Dealer Agreement dated December 2, 2020. Pursuant to the agreement, Dalmore Group’s role in the offering is limited to serving as the broker of record, including providing investor qualification recommendations (e.g., “Know Your Customer” and anti-money-laundering checks) and coordinating with third-party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance. Dalmore Group will have access to the subscription information provided by investors and will serve as broker of record for the Offering. Dalmore Group will not solicit any investors on our behalf, act as underwriter or provide investment advice or investment recommendations to any investor.

 

 

 

 

Dalmore Group is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA and SIPC and will be registered in each state where we sell shares of our Common Stock. Dalmore Group will receive a brokerage fee but will not purchase any interests and, therefore, will not be eligible to receive any discounts, commissions or any underwriting or finder’s fees in connection with this Offering.

 

We agreed to pay Dalmore Group a consulting fee of $20,000, of which $10,000 will be due and payable immediately after FINRA issues a No Objection Letter and the remaining $10,000 will be due and payable within 30 days after FINRA issues a No Objection Letter, as well as an advance of $5,000 for expenses and $1,550 for the FINRA corporate filing fee. In addition, we agreed to indemnify Dalmore Group and each of its affiliates and their respective representatives and agents for any loss, liability, judgment, arbitration award, settlement, damage or cost (which we refer to as losses) incurred in any third-party suit, action, claim or demand (which we refer to, collectively, as a proceeding) to the extent they are based upon our breach of any provision of Broker-Dealer Agreement, our wrongful acts or omissions or this offering. Dalmore Group agreed to indemnify us and each of our affiliates and their and our representatives and agents from any losses arising out of any proceeding to the extent they are based upon Dalmore Group’s breach of the agreement or the wrongful acts or omissions of Dalmore Group or Dalmore Group’s failure to comply with any applicable federal, state or local laws, regulators or codes in the performance of its obligations under the agreement.

 

The Broker-Dealer Agreement has a 12-month term beginning December 2, 2020 and will renew automatically for successive 12-months terms unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Additionally, the agreement may be terminated by either party for breach, misrepresentation, failure to comply with legal requirements or insolvency.

 

RECENT FINANCINGS

 

We received in December 2020 $1,102,700 from a number of existing shareholders in return for the issuance of Common Stock to these investors for the purpose of paying past due amounts to certain institutional convertible note holders and one individual as well. As a result, we paid (i) EMA Financial $200,000 in return for it cancelling both its August 15, 2019, senior convertible note in the principal amount of $112,750, bearing interest at 8% per annum and with a 12-month maturity date, which note was past due, and a warrant to purchase 18,667 shares of RDE’s common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share for an exercise period of three years from August 15, 2019, (ii) FirstFire Global $150,000 in return for FirstFire Global cancelling both its senior convertible note dated November 13, 2018, in the principal amount of $220,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum, and with a 12-month maturity date, which note was past due, and a warrant to purchase 35,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share for an exercise period of three years from November 13, 2018, and will either issue 110,000 shares of Common Stock that FirstFire Global agreed that it would not sell until February 7, 2021, and for an additional 90 days thereafter agreed not to exceed 20% of the monthly trading volume in RDE’s common stock or pay the convertible note in full; and (iii) Auctus $300,000, with an additional $400,000 due on or before January 31, 2021, in return for it cancelling two senior convertible notes and two warrants, the first convertible note dated April 9, 2019, in the principal amount of $277,500, bearing interest of 8% per annum with a maturity date of April 9, 2020, which note was past due, and a warrant exercisable for three years to purchase 46,667 shares at an exercise price of $9.00 per share, and a convertible note dated July 30, 2019, in the principal amount of $277,500, bearing interest of 8% per annum with a maturity date of July 22, 2020, which note was past due, and a warrant exercisable for three years to purchase up to 46,667 shares at an exercise price of $9.00 per share.

 

We also settled outstanding litigation with an individual who held a promissory note that we had issued. On April 24, 2020, a lawsuit styled Tyler Anderson v. uBid Holdings, Inc. and Ketan Thakker, Case No. 2020L004611, was brought in the Cook County Circuit Court in the State of Illinois. The plaintiff was the holder of a promissory note that we issued in the principal amount of $275,000 due May 2, 2019, plus accrued and unpaid interest at an annual interest rate of 2%. We entered into a settlement agreement in which we agreed to pay a total of $306,934.50 to have the case dismissed with prejudice through a series of payments as follows: $65,000 that was paid upon execution of the settlement agreement, $25,000 to be paid on December 15, 2020, January 15, 2021, February 15, 2021 and March 15, 2021, with the balance to be paid on March 31, 2021.
