Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Convertible Promissory Note
On August 21 and 22, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, to date the Company sold the Purchasers to date in this offering: (i) convertible notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,050,000, (the “Notes”) upon maturity convertible into up to 5,857,142 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), warrants to initially acquire up to an aggregate of 2,928,571 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.4375 per Warrant Share. The Warrants are exercisable for CASH ONLY. The Company has received gross proceeds of $2,050,000 in connection with the closing of the financing. The conversion price of the Notes is $0.35 per share. The Company intends to close the offering over multiple tranches.
The maturity date of the Notes is September 1, 2029. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Notes accrues at 9% per annum which may be converted into shares or payable in arrears on a semi-annual basis on January 1st and July 1st until the note reaches maturity. Subject to the conversion of the Notes, any accrued interest outstanding is payable in full on the maturity date of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to customary events of default including the failure to pay principal and interest when due or bankruptcy by the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the unpaid portion of the principal amount will bear simple interest from the date of the event of default at a rate equal to 12% per annum, for the duration from such event of default until the cure of such default or the repayment date of the entire outstanding balance of the Note.
The Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance until the five (5) year anniversary of their respective issuance date, at an exercise price of $0.4375 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustments as provided in the Warrants. The Warrants are exercisable for cash only.
The Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the shares of 50% of the common stock underlying the Note and 100% of common stock underlying the Warrants within eighteen (18) months after the receiving the purchase price of the Note and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective. Additionally, within a two (2) year period of the anniversary of receiving the purchase price of the Note, the Company will file an additional registration statement to register the remaining 50% of common stock underlying the Note, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within the aforementioned two (2) year period.
