Pursuant to the agreement, Stein Riso is to pay the company three million dollars ($3,000,000), and return to the company ten million (10,000,000) shares of the company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share both of which occurred in October, 2020. Stein Riso entered into the Settlement Agreement without any admission of liability. The parties will be filing a Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice as to all claims asserted or which could have been asserted in the lawsuit. The agreement also contains standard mutual general release and confidentiality provisions. Effective September 24, 2020, Applied Energetics, Inc. entered into a Settlement Agreement with George P. Farley, its former CEO, and AnneMarieCo, LLC (“AMC”) as to which a Stipulation and Final Judgment was entered by the Delaware Court of Chancery on September 28, 2020. Under the agreement, 20,000,000 of the 25,000,000 shares originally issued to Farley (20,000,000 of which were transferred to AMC) were invalidated, the remaining 5,000,000 shares being deemed valid under Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The agreement calls for the company to repurchase the remaining 5,000,000 shares at a price of $0.30 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000 of which $1,000,000 was paid on September 29, 2020. The agreement also provides for the release of funds in the amount of $582,377.26 securing the bond posted by the company in favor of Farley and AMC in connection with the litigation as previously disclosed. The bond, plus accrued interest of $13,852 was released and returned in October, 2020. The agreement also contains standard mutual general release and confidentiality provisions. In the first two weeks of October, 2020, we paid off three notes payable with total principal balance of $650,000. Effective November 5, 2020, the company and the holders agreed to convert all outstanding principal and interest outstanding on its 2020 10% Promissory Notes into shares of the company’s common stock. The notes were converted at a price per share of $0.30, resulting in the issuance to the noteholders of 18,386,174 shares in the aggregate. All of these converting noteholders are accredited, sophisticated investors, and neither the issuance of the notes nor their conversion were in connection with any public offering, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Additionally, as of November 5, 2020, the company repaid all principal of $390,000, plus interest thereon, of the remaining outstanding on its 10% Promissory Notes from 2019. The company’s management has evaluated subsequent events occurring after September 30, 2020, the date of our most recent balance sheet, through the date our financial statements were issued.
