Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into a certain Technology License and Commercialization Agreement (the “GOLQ Licensing Agreement”) with GoLogiq, Inc. (“GOLQ”) whereby GOLQ grants the Company a worldwide, exclusive license (the “GOLQ License”) to the Company to develop its fintech technology (the “GOLQ Technology”) and sell products derived thereof, including its Createapp, Paylogiq, Gologiq, and Radix AI technology and products (the “Licensed Products”), for a term of 10 years, with automatic two (2) year renewals as further described therein (the “Term”).
On March 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and GOLQ entered into an Amendment to Technology License and Commercialization Agreement (the “Amendment”). Under the Amendment, the Company and GOLQ agreed to and added Section 3.3 to further detail technical assistance from GOLQ to the Company. In addition, Section 5.1 was amended such that the royalty was lowered from eight percent (8%) to five percent (5%) for which the Company agreed to grant GOLQ a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase two hundred ninety-two thousand (292,000) shares of Company Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) for a price equal to $0.01 per share (the “Exercise Price”).
On April 18, 2024, the Company issued the Warrant under the terms of the Amendment. GOLQ may exercise the Warrant upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions in the Warrant, at any time on or after October 18, 2024, (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on April 18, 2027 and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days following the tenth (10th) consecutive Trading Day whereby the closing sale price for the common stock of the Company has closed at or above $5.00 as reported on the Nasdaq National Market (the “Termination Date”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per common share, or via cashless exercise at the Termination Date. Further, the Amendment contains a beneficial ownership provision that limits shares issuable under the Warrant such that the shares beneficially owned by GOLQ does not exceed 4.99% or, upon election by GOLQ prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). Further, GOLQ shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the Warrant Shares together with the shares issuable under the GOLQ Licensing Agreement, exceed 19.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
The Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are being sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
The form of the Warrant is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summaries of the terms of this document is subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such document, which is incorporated herein by reference.
