Securities Purchase Agreement – December 31, 2018

On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with an otherwise unaffiliated third-party institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor a Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate face value of $5,250,000. The note was secured by all assets of the Company. The Debenture has a maturity date of two years from the issuance date and the Company 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.

 

The transactions described above closed on December 31, 2018. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company issued to the Investor 10,000 shares of common stock and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire up to 308,333 shares of common stock for a term of three years (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $20.00 per share with respect to 125,000 Warrant Shares, $25.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares, $50.00 with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares and $75.00 with respect to 33,333 Warrant Shares. The warrants and shares issued were fair valued and a debt discount of $4,995,000 was recorded as a result of the issuance of the warrants and shares and the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature on the Debenture. The Company also paid a $5,000 due diligence fee prior to receiving the funding which was also recorded as a debt discount.

 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Investor agreed to tender to the Company the sum of $5,000,000, of which the Company received the full amount as of the closing.

 

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 140% 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 95% of the mathematical average of the 5 lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices of the common stock, less $0.50 per share, during the period beginning on the issuance date and ending on the maturity date subject to certain floor price restrictions. 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 affect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company.

 

While the note is outstanding if Triggering Events occur the conversion rate may be decreased by 10% and the interest rate increased by 10% for each Triggering Event which may result in the issuance of additional shares.

 

On March 4, March 13, and May 1, 2020 the Company entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) with the Investor.

  1) A Floor Price of $1.50 per share of Common Stock was placed on conversions by the Investor under the Debenture, with the Floor Price on the First Debenture not applying in the occurrence of an event of default;
  2) Lowered the closing price of the Common Stock which may trigger an event of default from $5.00 per share to $1.75 per share for 5 consecutive trading days provided that any event of default will not be triggered, if at all, until after September 29, 2020;
