Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The Crypto Company (the “Company”) borrowed funds pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “AJB SPA”) entered into with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB”), and issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $36,500 (the “AJB Note”) to AJB in a private transaction for a purchase price of $32,850, each fully executed on December 19, 2024. In connection with the sale of the AJB Note, the Company also paid certain fees and expenses of AJB. After payment of the fees and expenses, the net proceeds to the Company were $27,850, which will be used for working capital, to fund potential acquisitions or other forms of strategic relationships, and other general corporate purposes.
The maturity date of the AJB Note is June 4, 2025. The AJB Note bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per calendar year from the date of issuance. The interest shall accrue on a monthly basis and is payable on the maturity date or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The Company may prepay the AJB Note at any time without penalty. Under the terms of the AJB Note, the Company may not issue additional debt that is not subordinate to AJB, must comply with the Company’s reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and must maintain the listing of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Market or other exchange, among other restrictions and requirements. The Company’s failure to make required payments under the AJB Note or to comply with any of these covenants, among other matters, would constitute an event of default. Upon an event of default under the AJB SPA or AJB Note, the AJB Note will bear interest at the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum amount permitted under law, AJB may immediately accelerate the AJB Note due date, AJB may convert the amount outstanding under the AJB Note into shares of Company common stock at a discount to the market price of the stock, and AJB will be entitled to its costs of collection, among other penalties and remedies.
The Company provided various representations, warranties, and covenants to AJB in the AJB SPA. The Company’s breach of any representation or warranty, or failure to comply with the covenants would constitute an event of default.
The Company also entered into a Security Agreement with AJB pursuant to which the Company granted to AJB a security interest in all of the Company’s assets to secure the Company’s obligations under the AJB SPA and AJB Note.
The foregoing descriptions of the AJB SPA, AJB Note, and Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the forms of the AJB SPA, AJB Note, and Security Agreement which will be filed as exhibits to a subsequent quarterly report to be filed by the Company.
The offer and sale of the AJB Note was made in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on exemptions afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
