Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On
March 25, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“Yorkville”),
pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the
aggregate principal amount of USD$4,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common
Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible
Debenture”) in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be
issued within 1 business day following the initial closing, a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture”)
in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued within 1 business
day following the satisfaction of conditions for a second closing and a secured convertible debenture (the “Third Convertible
Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture and the Second Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible
Debenture”) in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Third Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be
issued within 1 business day following satisfaction of conditions for a third closing (the first closing, second closing and third
closing are each referred to as a “Closing” or collectively as the “Closings) and (collectively, the First Convertible
Debenture Purchase Price, the Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price and the Third Convertible Debenture Purchase Price shall
collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price”) (the “Yorkville Transaction”). Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, so long as any portion of the Convertible Debentures is outstanding, Yorkville maintains the right of first
refusal with the respect to any issuance or sale by the Company of common stock or securities exercisable into shares of common
stock to raise additional capital.
Each
Convertible Debenture shall mature twelve (12) months after the date of issuance and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
The principal must be paid in cash, but the Company has the right to extend the maturity date by 30 days, during which time interest
will continue to accrue, upon written notice of same to the holder. Interest shall be provided in cash, unless certain conditions
as specified in the Convertible Debenture are satisfied, in which case the company has the right to pay interest in shares of
common stock at the then applicable conversion price on the trading day immediately prior to the pay date. The debenture holder
may convert each Convertible Debenture into shares of common stock at any time after issuance at a price equal to 80% of the lowest
volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date they
convert the debenture; provided, however if the Company’s Common Stock is uplisted to the Nasdaq, the conversion price shall
not be less than 20% of the conversion price used in the first conversion thereunder. The debenture holder may not convert the
Convertible Debenture if such conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of in excess of 4.99% of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest,
unless waived by the holder with at least 65 days prior notice to the Company (the “Ownership Cap”). The Company also
has the option to redeem, in part or in whole, the outstanding principal and interest under a Convertible Debenture prior to the
maturity date. The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium equal to
15% of the outstanding principal amount plus outstanding and accrued interest. The Convertible Debenture also provides for certain
purchase rights if the Company issues certain securities. Standard events of default are included in the Convertible Debenture,
pursuant to which the holder may declare it immediately due and payable. During an event of default, the interest rate shall increase
to 15% per annum until the event of default is cured; the holder also has the right to convert the Convertible Debenture into
shares of common stock during an event of default.
The
Convertible Debentures are secured by all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to (i) that certain security agreement
by and between Yorkville, the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries (all such security agreements shall be referred to
as the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries agree to provide Yorkville
a security interest in Pledged Property (as this term is defined in the Security Agreement), (ii) the intellectual property security
agreement by and between Yorkville, the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries referenced therein dated the date hereof
(all such security agreements shall be referred to as the “IP Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries agree to provide Yorkville a security interest in the intellectual property collateral (as this
term is defined in the IP Security Agreement), and (iii) the global guaranty by and between Yorkville, the Company and the Company’s
subsidiaries dated as of the first Closing (the “Guaranty” and collectively with the Security Agreement and the IP
Security Agreement shall be referred to as the “Security Documents”). Pursuant to the Guaranty, the Company’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, in favor of Yorkville with respect to all of the Company’s obligations under the Convertible Debentures,
Warrants and related transaction documents, agreed to guaranty the payment and performance of all of the Company’s obligations
under all such documents.
Contemporaneously
with the first closing, the Company will issue Yorkville a warrant (the “Yorkville Warrant”) to purchase 8,000,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Yorkville Warrant has a term of five (5) years
and is initially exercisable at $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment and can be exercise via cashless exercise. If the Company
issues or sells securities at a price less than the exercise price, the exercise price shall be reduced to such lower price. The
Yorkville Warrant also has the same Ownership Cap as set forth in the Convertible Debenture.
In
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the following shares: 160,875,161 Conversion Shares, all of the Warrant Shares
issuable pursuant to the Warrant, 35,750,036 Conversion Shares issuable under the A&R Convertible Debenture (as hereinafter
defined), 3,125,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the warrant issued by the Company on December 11, 2020 and (ii) with
respect to subsequent Registration Statements at least such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal up to 300% of the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Convertible Debenture then outstanding (assuming for
purposes hereof that (x) such Convertible Debenture are convertible at $0.12432 per share, and (y) any such conversion shall not
take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Convertible Debenture set forth therein, in each case subject to any
cutback set forth in the registration rights agreement and all of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.
Upon
signing the letter of intent for the Yorkville Transaction, the Company paid Yorkville $10,000.
As
part of the Yorkville Transaction, the parties agreed to amend and restate the $1,000,000, thirteen-month (13), unsecured, 10%
convertible note that was issued on December 11, 2020 to Yorkville (the “A&R Convertible Debenture”). Delivery
of the A&R Convertible Debenture is in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of the debenture issued in December (the
“December Debenture”); all interest that has accrued on the December Debenture shall be deemed to have accrued on
the A&R Convertible Debenture. The A&R Convertible Debenture removes all reference to installment payments and therefore
the entire amount of that debenture is due and payable on January 11, 2022 and also provides that it shall be secured by the Security
Documents.
When
the Company issued the December Debenture, it also issued a five-year warrant to purchase up to 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock (the “December Warrant”). We agreed the register the shares of common stock underlying the December Warrant.
The
Purchase Agreement also contains customary representation and warranties of the Company and the Investor, indemnification obligations
of the Company, termination provisions, and other obligations and rights of the parties.
