SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

ITEM 1.01 - ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On April 17, 2019, CleanSpark, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an otherwise unaffiliated third-party institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investor a $10,750,000 face value Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Promissory Note (the “Debenture”) with a 7.5% original issue discount, 2,150 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock with a 7.5% original issue discount, a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis to acquire up to 2,300,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of our common stock (our “Common Stock”) and 1,250,000 shares of our Common Stock.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Debenture, the Series B Preferred Stock the Warrant and the Common Stock is $20,000,000.

 

At the first closing, which occurred on April 18, 2019, we sold the Debenture, the Common Stock and the Warrant for $10,000,000. At the second closing, we plan to sell 1,075 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $5,000,000 upon approval of our shareholders: (1) to increase our authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, to 200,000,000 shares, and (2) to approve the Agreement and the issuance of the Debenture, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Warrant, the Common Stock and the shares underlying the Debenture and the Series B Preferred Stock and the Warrant Shares. We have also agreed to submit an application for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market within 45 days of executing the Agreement. Within 30 days of approval of the above corporate actions and upon listing with the Nasdaq Capital Market, we have an option to sell the remaining 1,075 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $5,000 per share with a 7.5% OID for the sum of up to $5,000,000.

 

The Debenture has a maturity date two years from the issuance date and the Company has agreed to pay compounded interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Debenture at the rate equal 7.5% per annum. Interest is payable on the date the applicable principal is converted or on maturity. The interest must be paid in cash and, in certain circumstances, may be paid in shares of common stock.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell the above securities pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No 333-228063), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2018, and a related prospectus supplement thereto.

 

Prior to the maturity date, provided that no trigger event has occurred, the Company will have the right at any time upon 30 trading days’ prior written notice, in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem all or any portion of the Debenture then outstanding by paying to the Investor an amount equal to 145% of the of the portion of the Debenture being redeemed.

 

The Investor may convert the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 90% of the mathematical average of the 5 lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices of the common stock, less $0.075 per share, during the period beginning on the issuance date and ending on the maturity date. There is a floor price of $1.00 per share until we complete the above corporate actions and then $0.35 per share. In the event certain equity conditions exist, the Company may require that the Investor convert the Debenture. In no event shall the Debenture be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates would exceed 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock may convert into Common Stock and has other features as noted in the Certificate of Designation we filed with the State of Nevada, which is made an exhibit to this Current Report. The Warrant is exercisable for a term of three years on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $3.50 per share with respect to 2,000,000 Warrant Shares, $4.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares, $5.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares, $7.50 with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares and $10.00 with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares.

 

As part of the transaction, our shareholders owning and controlling more than 51% of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock were required to execute Voting Agreements that required those shareholders to vote in favor of the Purchase Agreement and issuance of the securities covered thereby.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the above transactions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of such agreements, the forms of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
