Officer Promissory Notes

 

In May 2018, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer began advancing funds to the Company in order to meet minimum operating needs. Such advances were made pursuant to promissory notes that were due on demand, with interest at the minimum applicable federal rate, which was approximately 2.51% at September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018, the total principal amount of advances outstanding, including accrued interest of $6,853, was $966,389.

 

8% Promissory Notes

 

On June 6, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with L2 Capital, LLC (“L2”), pursuant to which L2 purchased from the Company a convertible promissory note (the “8% Promissory Notes”), issuable in tranches, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,681,668 for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000, with interest at 8% per annum and the maturity date for each tranche funded is seven months from the date of issuance. The 8% Promissory Notes required an increasing premium for any prepayment from 20% for the first 90 days to 38% after 181 days, an increased conversion rate to a 40% discount if in default, a default rate of 18% plus a repayment premium of 40%, plus 5% for each additional default, and liquidated damages in addition to the default rates, ranging from 30% to 100% for certain breaches of the 8% Promissory Notes, subject to mandatory prepayment, including the above described premiums, equal to 50% of new funds raised by the Company in excess of $11,600,000 in the private placement of its securities.

 

On June 11, 2018, a first tranche of $570,556, which included $15,000 of L2’s legal expenses, was purchased for a price of $500,000, reflecting an original issue discount and debt discount of $70,556. On June 15, 2018, a second tranche of $555,556 was purchased for a price of $500,000, an original issue discount of $55,556. In connection with the first and second tranche, the Company issued warrants to L2, exercisable for 216,120 and 210,438 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 and $1.20 per share, respectively (the “L2 Warrants”).

 

L2 had the sole discretion to purchase additional promissory notes, in certain circumstances, which expired. The promissory notes and any accrued but unpaid interest were convertible into common stock, at any time, at a conversion price equal to the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the ten trading day period ending on the issue date of the note. As a result of the closing of the 10% Debenture offering on June 15, 2018 (refer to 10% Convertible Debentures below), L2 no longer has the right to invest in the Company under the securities purchase agreement.

 

The warrants included a reset provision which provided that the number of shares issuable under the warrants shall increase by the quotient of 50% of the face value of the respective tranche and 110% multiplied by the VWAP of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the funding date of the respective tranche (see Note 14).

 

The Company accounted for the warrants and embedded conversion features of the promissory notes as derivative liabilities, as the Company was required to adjust downward (a reset provision) the exercise price of the warrants (floor price of $0.50 per share) and the conversion price of the promissory note under certain circumstances, which required the Company carry such amounts in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as liabilities at fair value, as adjusted at each period-end. Upon issuance, the Company recognized a derivative liability of $760,499 ($600,898 for the warrants and $159,601 for the embedded conversion feature). The derivative liability was treated as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the debt and upon extinguishment of the debt the Company recognized a gain for the embedded conversion feature derivative liability of $129,741 for the change in fair value during the three months ended September 30, 2018 (see Note 11).

 

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest of $56,857 and $71,218, respectively, was charged to expense, which consisted of $40,073 and $50,232, respectively, from the accretion of original issue discount and debt discount and $16,784 and $20,986, respectively, from the accrual of interest payable.

 

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $241,682 and $309,211, respectively, was charged to interest expense from the amortization of debt discounts.

 

On September 6, 2018, the Company repaid the 8% Promissory Notes. The total amount borrowed was $1,000,000, and under the terms of the loan agreement the Company repaid $1,351,334 to satisfy the debt obligation. A loss on extinguishment of the debt in the amount of $722,619 was recorded upon repayment which is reflected in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

10% Convertible Debentures

 

On June 15, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with four accredited investors to purchase an aggregate of $4,775,000 in principal amount of the Company’s 10% Convertible Debenture, due on June 30, 2019 (the “10% Convertible Debentures”). Included in the aggregate total of $4,775,000 is $1,025,000 from two of the Company’s executives. The 10% Convertible Debentures were convertible into an aggregate of 3,698,110 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion price of $1.2912 per share. The 10% Convertible Debentures were interest bearing at the rate of 10% per annum, that was payable in cash semi-annually on December 31 and June 30, beginning on December 31, 2018. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the holders of the 10% Convertible Debentures were also entitled to receive an additional payment, if necessary, to provide the holders with a 20% annual internal rate of return on their investment. The Company had the option, under certain circumstances, to redeem some or all of the outstanding principal amount for an amount equal to the principal amount (plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon) or the option to cause the holders to convert their debt at a certain conversion price, otherwise, the Company was not permitted to prepay any portion of the principal amount without the prior written consent of the debt holders.

 

Additionally, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the purchase agreement, the Company agreed to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the 10% Convertible Debentures for resale by the holders of the 10% Convertible Debentures. The Company had committed to file the registration statement by no later than 45 days after June 15, 2018 and to cause the registration statement to become effective by no later than 120 days after June 15, 2018 (or, in the event of a full review by the staff of the SEC, 150 days following June 15, 2018). The registration rights agreement provided for Liquidated Damages upon the occurrence of certain events up to a maximum amount of 6% of the aggregate amount invested by such holders. Liquidated Damages were waived as part of the roll-over of the 10% Convertible Debentures into Series H Preferred Stock.

 

The securities purchase agreement also included a provision that required the Company to maintain its periodic filings with the SEC in order to satisfy the public information requirements under Rule 144(c) of the Securities Act. If the Company failed for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement, then the Company would have been obligated to pay to each holder a cash payment equal to 1.0% of the amount invested as partial Liquidated Damages, up to a maximum of six months. Such payments were subject to interest at the rate of 1.0% per month until paid in full. The 10% Convertible Debentures was rolled over into Series H Preferred Stock before the due date for the commencement of the Liquidated Damages.

 

Upon issuance, the Company accounted for an embedded conversion feature of the 10% Convertible Debentures as a derivative liability totaling $471,002, as the Company was required to adjust downward the conversion price of the debt under certain circumstances, which required that the Company carry such amount in its consolidated balance sheet as a liability at fair value, as adjusted at each period-end. The derivative liability was treated as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the debt and upon extinguishment of the debt the Company recognized a loss for the embedded conversion feature derivative liability of $570,998 for the change in fair value during the three months ended September 30, 2018 (see Note 11).

 

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest of $49,076 and $69,920, respectively, was charged to expense from the accrual of interest payable.

 

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $45,860 and $64,452, respectively, was charged to interest expense from the amortization of debt discounts.

 

On August 10, 2018, the 10% Convertible Debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $4,775,000 plus obligations of $955,000 were converted into 5,730 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. A loss on extinguishment of the debt in the amount of $249,630 was recorded upon conversion which is reflected in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
