Amendment of Existing Senior Convertible Promissory Notes and Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into several agreements with an accredited investor (the “Lender”) that holds the promissory notes under the 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement. The amendments, among other things, (1) extended the maturity date of the June 2019 Note from January 26, 2021 to December 31, 2021 and (2) extended the maturity date of the October 2019 Note from April 21, 2021 to December 31, 2021. In connection with the Note Amendments, the Company issued to the Lender warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Old Note Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Old Note Warrants are exercisable at any time before the close of business on June 25, 2026. The Old Note Warrants contain cashless exercise provisions and, to the extent not previously exercised, will be automatically exercised via cashless exercise on June 25, 2026.

 

In conjunction with the above amendments, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers $3,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”), exercisable at any time before the close of business on June 25, 2026. The Warrants are comprised of 15,000,000 “A Warrants” with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and 15,000,000 “B Warrants” with an exercise price of $0.2284 per share.

 

The Notes, which are convertible into common stock at any time at the discretion of the respective Purchasers at a conversion price of $0.175 per share of common stock, will bear an interest rate of 3%. The Notes mature on or about July 24, 2022 unless accelerated due to an event of default. The Company has the right to prepay the Notes at any time upon 10 days’ prior notice to the Purchasers. If the Company elects to prepay the Notes, the Company must pay the respective Purchasers an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the sum of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by (ii) (x) 110%, if the prepayment date is within 90 days of the original issue date, (y) 115%, if the prepayment date is between 91 days and 180 days following the original issue date or (z) 125%, if the prepayment date is after the 180th day following the original issue date.

 

The Company can demand that the Purchasers convert the Notes at any time, on five calendar days’ notice, that (i) the daily dollar volume-weighted average price for the Company’s common stock for the prior five consecutive trading days is $0.30 or more and (ii) (1) the shares underlying the Notes have been registered with the SEC or (2) there is a fundamental transaction that has been announced by the Company.

 

The Notes contain standard and customary terms concerning events of default. Events of default include, among other things, any failure to make payments when due, failure to observe or perform material covenants or agreements contained in the Notes, a material default under the Securities Purchase Agreement or related transaction documents or any other material contract to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, the breach of any representation or warranty in the Notes or the Securities Purchase Agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company’s common stock not being eligible for listing or quotation on a trading market and not eligible to resume listing or quotation for trading within 5 trading days, the Company’s failure to meet the current public information requirements under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company’s failure to file required reports with the SEC, and the Company’s failure to maintain sufficient reserved shares for issuance upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants. If any event of default occurs, subject to any cure period, the full principal amount, together with interest (including default interest of 18% per annum) and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration shall become, at the Purchaser’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.

Management performed an analysis to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of the above transactions and concluded (1) a troubled debt restructuring had not occurred, and (2) as the total change in cash flows was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt, the transactions should be treated as a debt extinguishment for accounting purposes. A loss on extinguishment equal to the difference between the carrying value of the old debt and the reacquisition price was recognized in current period earnings.

 

Note Termination and Exchange Agreement

 

On July 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Termination and Exchange Agreement with Arthur Chan, pursuant to which the Company issued to Mr. Chan 4,548,006 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.23 per share as payment in full of the principal, interest and fees payable under the Secured Promissory Note issued by the Company to Mr. Chan on January 10, 2020 in the original principal amount of $1.00 million. As a result, the Secured Promissory Note is no longer outstanding. Contemporaneously with the execution of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Chan a Promissory Note in the amount of $2.50 million. The New Note bears an interest rate of 8% and matures on July 26, 2024.
