Convertible Promissory Note

Convertible Promissory Note

On March 1, 2019, Inuvo entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with three accredited investors for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of $1,440,000 of principal of Original Issue Discount Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Notes due September 1, 2020 (the “Calvary Notes”) to fund working capital and additional expenses resulting from the delay in closing of the Mergers associated with the government shut down. The initial conversion price of the Calvary Notes was $1.08 per share which would have made the Calvary Notes then convertible into 1,333,333 unregistered shares of Inuvo’s common stock upon conversion. The Calvary Notes were issued in a private placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion are restricted, subject to resale under Rule 144. The proceeds to Inuvo from the offering were $1,200,000. Inuvo did not pay any commissions or finders fees in connection with the sale of the Calvary Notes and Inuvo utilized the proceeds for working capital. The Calvary Notes are reported net of unamortized original issue discounts and initial value attributed to the bifurcated embedded conversion feature.

Effective April 20, 2020, the Company and the holder of the remaining Calvary Notes due September 1, 2020 in the principal amount of $315,000 as modified under that certain Note Modification and Release Agreement effective November 11, 2019, agreed to amend the note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2020 and reduce the conversion price to $0.175 per share. On April 21, 2020, the noteholder converted $200,000 principal amount due under the note into 1,142,857 shares of our common stock. On May 5, 2020, the noteholder converted the final $115,000 principal amount due under the note into 657,143 shares of our common stock, thereby satisfying the note in full.

Consideration of Down Round Price Adjustment

The Calvary Notes contained certain triggers that created adjustments to the conversion ratio, which provided down round protection to the holders. Because the conversion feature has been bifurcated as an embedded derivative and is marked to fair value at each reporting period, the actual occurrence of a trigger and the resulting adjustment to the conversion rate did not require any additional accounting treatment at the time of the price adjustment. Rather, the next fair value computation reflects the new terms of the conversion feature.

On July 15, 2019, we closed on an underwritten public offering of 13,750,000 shares at an offering price of $0.30 per share. As a result, this triggered a corresponding adjustment to the conversion ratio in the Calvary Notes to $0.30. The fair value of the embedded derivative reflected these terms at December 31, 2019.

Modifications/Extinguishment

On November 11, 2019 we entered into Note Modification and Release Agreements with the holders of $1,080,000 principal amount of the Calvary Notes. Under the terms of the Note Modification and Release Agreement, the parties agreed that in consideration of such noteholder’s agreement to convert a minimum of 50% of the outstanding amount of the note (the “First Conversion Amount”) that the conversion price for the First Conversion Amount would be $0.265 per share and that the conversion price for any remaining amount due under the note would be $0.30 per share, subject to future adjustments under the terms of the note including dilutive issuances at a price below $0.30 per share, subject to a floor of $0.23 per share. The agreement contains mutual general releases. These holders converted an aggregate of $765,000 due under the Calvary Notes into 2,886,792 shares of our common stock. Immediately prior to the conversion, the carrying value of the derivative was marked-to-market. Upon converting, the issued shares were recorded at their fair value of $0.29 per share. This resulted in a loss on extinguishment. Both the loss due to the marking to market and the loss on extinguishment totaling approximately $193,000 were recorded to other income, net.

In January 2020, a noteholder of a $360,000 principal amount Calvary note converted the note into 1,200,000 shares of our common stock. The carrying value of the bifurcated derivative was marked-to-market immediately prior to the conversion. Upon conversion, the issued shares were recorded at their fair value. Both the loss due to the marked-to-market and loss on extinguishment of approximately $69,000 were recorded to other income, net.

Upon the April 2020 conversion, we relieved a proportional amount ($200,000 of $315,000 or 63.49%) of the adjusted carrying values of bifurcated conversion option and the debt host, and recorded the issued shares at their fair value of $0.22 per share. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of $9,258 and was recorded to other income, net.

Upon the May 2020 conversion, we relieved the remaining amount ($115,000 of $115,000 or 100%) of the adjusted carrying values of bifurcated conversion option and the debt host, and recorded the issued shares at their fair value of $0.31 per share. This resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $6,201 other income, net.
