NOTE 7 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT

November 15, 2017 Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain third party investors (the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue for a purchase price of $3,000,000, $3,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into 670,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 536,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”.) The Notes contained an original issue discount of $350,000. Of the $3,000,000 purchase price, $240,000 went directly to financing costs (see below) and $74,000 went directly to legal fees such that the Company received net proceeds of $2,686,000.

 

The Notes provide that the Company will repay the principal amount of the Notes in equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until the fourteenth month anniversary date of issuance (each a “Installment Date”), and, subject to the Blocker (as defined below), the Company shall pre-deliver up to 670,000 shares of Common Stock to the Buyers in connection therewith (the “Pre-Delivery Shares”). Eighty-five (85%) percent of any cash proceeds received by the Buyers from the sale of Pre-Delivery Shares shall be applied against the particular installment amount due on such Installment Date under the Note. No interest will accrue under the Notes unless and until an Event of Default (as defined) has occurred and is not cured. As of December 31, 2017 and as of the date of filing, no such event of default has occurred and no shares have been issued.

 

The Notes are convertible at any time by the Holder into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $5.00 per share. In the event of an issuance of Common Stock for a consideration less than the Conversion Price (other than Excluded Securities, as defined) the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price of the dilutive issuance, (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (as defined), the Buyers may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature at intrinsic value and has recorded $1,140,711 to debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

 

The Notes are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company except Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), including $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under an existing senior loan agreement, plus defined amounts of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions.

 

The Notes include customary Events of Default and provide that the Buyers may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether the Event of Default has been cured) all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent, multiplied by the greater of the conversion rate and the then current market price. The Buyers may also require redemption of the Notes upon a Change of Control (as defined) at a premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent.

 

The Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable into 536,000 shares of Common Stock beginning May 16, 2018 or six months after the issue date. The Warrants are exercisable at $7.50 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection (see above). As of December 31, 2017 and through the date of filing, there were no anti-dilution trigger events. The Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis if a registration statement is not effective covering the resale of the underlying Warrant Shares. The Company calculated the warrants at relative fair value of $1,545,288, which was recognized as a discount to the Notes and is being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Notes.

 

Conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants are each subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting or exercising, as applicable, the Notes or the Warrants, into shares of Common Stock if its beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would exceed 4.99% (subject to adjustment not to exceed 9.99%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (each, a “Blocker”).

 

The Company filed, within thirty (30) days of the Closing, a registration statement covering one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the maximum number of shares, underlying the Notes and Warrants pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the Buyers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

 

As a condition to the closing of the Financing, each Buyer, severally, will be required to execute a leak-out agreement (each, a “Leak-Out Agreement”) restricting such Buyer’s sale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants on any Trading Day to not more than such Buyer’s pro rata allocation of the greater of (x) sales with net proceeds of an aggregate of $20,000 or (y) twenty-five (25%) percent of the daily average trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock. If after the closing of the Financing there is no Event of Default under the Notes, the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for three (3) trading days is less than $1.50 per share, the Company may further restrict the Buyers from selling at less than $1.50 per share; provided that the portion of the Notes subject to redemption on each Installment Date shall thereafter double.

 

On November 15, 2017 in connection with the $3,350,000 Securities Purchase Agreement, Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for the transaction equal to eight (8%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering, or $240,000 and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase eight (8%) percent of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in this offering (excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any warrants issued to investors), or 53,600 shares; and, will receive eight (8%) percent of any cash proceeds received from the exercise of any warrants sold in the offering with an expiration equal to or less than twenty-four (24) months. The warrants are exercisable six months after the issue date or May 16, 2018 and were valued at a fair value of $386,003 which was fully expensed during the year ending December 31, 2017. The $240,000 cash commission was recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the Notes.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no principal conversions and the Company repaid principal in the amount of $239,286, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Notes as of December 31, 2017 is $3,110,714.

 

The Company recorded a total of $3,350,000 of debt discounts related to the above Notes during the year ended December 31, 2017. The debt discounts are being amortized over the term of the debt. Amortization of the debt discounts for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $360,890.
