2022 Unrelated Notes

 

On April 1, 2022, we sold $2,364,500 in 12% Subordinated Notes (“2022 Unrelated Notes”) to unrelated accredited investors. The entire outstanding principal and unpaid interest of the 2022 Notes are due and payable on March 30, 2025. Interest on the 2022 Unrelated Notes accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly in cash, beginning on September 30, 2022. Any accrued but unpaid quarterly installment of interest will accrue interest at the rate of 14.0% per annum. Any overdue principal and accrued and unpaid interest at the maturity date will accrue a mandatory default penalty of 20% of the outstanding principal balance and an interest rate of 14% per annum from the maturity date until paid in full. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement offering to finance the acquisition of Yellow Folder and the remaining net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

2020 Notes

 

On March 2, 2020, we sold 2,000 units, at an offering price of $1,000 per unit, to accredited investors in a private placement offering, with each unit consisting of $1,000 in 12% Subordinated Notes (“2020 Notes”) and 40 shares of our common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000. The entire outstanding principal and unpaid interest of the 2020 Notes were initially due and payable on February 28, 2023. On December 1, 2022, we paid the note holders an amount totaling $1,019,550 as a prepayment of principal. On February 28, 2023, we paid the note holders an amount totaling $262,950 as a payment of principal. In December 2022, a majority of the note holders signed an amendment to extend the maturity date for $717,500 of the remaining 2020 Notes to August 31, 2023. Interest on the 2020 Notes accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly in cash, beginning on June 30, 2021. Any accrued but unpaid quarterly installment of interest will accrue interest at the rate of 14.0% per annum. Any overdue principal and accrued and unpaid interest at the maturity date will accrue a mandatory default penalty of 20% of the outstanding principal balance and an interest rate of 14% per annum from the maturity date until paid in full. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement offering to finance the acquisitions of Graphic Sciences and CEO Image and the remaining net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. We recognized a debt discount of $320,000 for the 80,000 shares issued in conjunction with the units. The amortization of the debt discount, which will be recognized over the life of the 2020 Notes as interest expense, was $11,378 and $26,666, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
