November 15, 2017 Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional investors (the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Company issued on November 16, 2017 for a purchase price of $3,000,000, $3,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Existing Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into approximately 670,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at $5.00 per share and five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 536,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share. 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.

 

On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into two separate Amendment and Exchange Agreements (“Exchange Agreements”) with the Buyers for new senior convertible notes (“New Notes”) in exchange for existing notes. Each New Note is identical in all material respects to the Existing Note, except that (i) the New Note was not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) until April 20, 2018; (ii) all future cash installment payments under such New Note will be made at a redemption price equal to 112% of the applicable installment amount; (iii) the Company’s existing obligation to initially deliver pre-delivery shares of its common stock to the holder of such New Note was deferred until April 20, 2018; and (iv) at any time on or before June 20, 2018, the Company had the right, at its option, to redeem all, or any part, of the amounts then outstanding under such New Note in cash at a redemption price equal to 125% of such amounts then outstanding under such New Note. 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 (14th) month anniversary date of issue.

    

On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment which extended the maturity dates of the notes to February 1, 2019. On April 24, 2018, 670,001 pre-delivery shares were issued. On January 7, 2019 and February 5, 2019, 465,625 and 108,417 pre-delivery shares, respectively, were cancelled upon full payment of both notes. Eighty-five (85%) percent of any cash proceeds received by the holders of the Notes from the sale of pre-delivery shares issued as collateral shall be applied against the particular installment amount then due. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness which includes $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under the above described Synthesis loan agreements, plus a defined amount of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions. The Company evaluated the debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the Existing Notes were written off and the New Notes were recorded at fair value as of February 20, 2018. The Company wrote off the remaining principal balance of $2,871,429 of the Existing Notes along with the remaining $2,596,838 of debt discounts related to the Existing Notes of which $1,140,711 was a reduction to additional paid-in-capital representing the intrinsic value of the existing beneficial conversion feature. The Company recorded the New Notes in the amount of $3,216,000 and a total debt discount of $3,216,000 in relation to the intrinsic value of the new beneficial conversion feature of $2,880,000 and an original issue discount of $336,000. This resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,464,698 and additional net equity related to the beneficial conversion feature of $1,739,289.

 

The New Notes were not convertible until April 18, 2018 pursuant to the February 20, 2018 amendment. Beginning April 20, 2018, the Holder may convert the New Notes 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 of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $1,140,711 to debt discount, of which $405,743 was amortized through February 19, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the remaining debt discount was written off and the Company recorded a new debt discount as discussed above.

 

On December 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Third Amendment and Exchange Agreement (“Third Exchange Agreement”) with the Buyers whereby the existing 536,000 warrants issued to such investors in connection with the November 15, 2017 Securities Purchase Agreement were retired in exchange for 727,683 new warrants. Additionally, the investors agreed to convert $1,333,333 of the debt related to the September 4, 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement at a reduced conversion price of $3.478. The Company issued those 383,363 shares on December 13, 2018. The Third Exchange agreement was considered to be an inducement to conversion and accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20. Accordingly, the Company recorded a modification expense of $1,778,952 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were principal conversions in the amount of $432,419 and the Company repaid principal on the New Notes in the amount of $2,680,000, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the New Notes as of December 31, 2018 was $103,610. The Company repaid this remaining balance in the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The Company recorded a total of $3,350,000 of debt discounts related to the above Existing Notes in the year ended December 31, 2017. A total of $360,890 was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2017 and an additional $392,272 related to the debt discount of the Existing Notes was amortized through February 19, 2018. As a result of the Exchange Agreement discussed above, the debt discounts of the Existing Notes were written off and a total of $3,216,000 of debt discounts were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018. The debt discounts are being amortized over the term of the debt. Amortization of the debt discounts of the New Notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $3,170,386. The additional $45,613 was amortized in the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

September 4, 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On September 4, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two institutional investors (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Company issued for a purchase price of $2,000,000, $2,233,333 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “September 2018 Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into 372,223 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share at $6.00 per share (with the exception of the conversion related to the Third Exchange Agreement), and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 357,334 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share (the “Warrants”). The Notes contained an original issue discount of $233,332. Of the $2,000,000 purchase price, $140,000 went directly to financing costs (see below) and $15,000 went directly to legal fees such that the Company received net proceeds of $1,845,000.

     

The September 2018 Notes provide that the Company will repay the principal amount of Notes in equal monthly installments including a 5% installment fee, which is recorded as interest expense, beginning on November 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until May 1, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $31,905 in installment fees. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $13,097 in installment fees.

 

The Notes were convertible at any time by the Holder into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $6.00 per share (with the exception of the conversion pursuant to the Third Exchange Agreement described below), subject to full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). According to the original terms of the agreement, the Company was to pre-deliver up to 372,222 shares of common stock to the Buyers. Eighty-five percent (85%) of any cash proceeds received by the Buyers from the sale of the Pre-Delivery Shares would then be applied against the particular installment amount due on such Installment Date under the Note. The Company had three months to deliver the Pre-Delivery shares, however the debt was repaid prior to the opportunity to deliver those shares. The Registration Statement (No. 333-227813) covering 150% of the number of shares underlying the Notes and warrants was declared effective on November 1, 2018. Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), 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 then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $934,922 to debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

 

Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for this transaction equal to seven (7%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering, or $140,000, and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase seven (7%) 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 26,056 shares; and will receive seven (7%) 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 March 4, 2019, at $6.00 per share and were valued at a fair value of $157,969 which was fully expensed during the year ended December 31, 2018. The $140,000 cash commission was recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the Notes.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were principal conversions in the amount of $1,333,333 at a conversion price of $3.478 pursuant to the Third Exchange Agreement and the Company repaid principal of $638,095, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Notes as of December 31, 2018 was $261,903.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repaid the remaining principal balance in the amount of $261,903, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Notes as of December 31, 2019 is zero.

 

The Company recorded a total of $2,233,332 of debt discounts related to the above Notes during the year ended December 31, 2018. The debt discounts are being amortized over the term of the debt. Amortization of the debt discounts for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2,049,232. As a result of the final payment of the Notes, the remaining debt discount of $184,100 was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement executed on May 15, 2019

 

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”). Upon the closing of this financing, on May 17, 2019, the Company issued for a purchase price of $1,500,000 in principal amount a Senior Convertible Note (the “May 2019 Note”) to the Buyer.

 

The May 2019 Note provided that the Company will repay the principal amount of the May 2019 Note on or before March 15, 2020.

    

On March 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”).

 

The Agreement provides that the Buyer will (a) forbear (i) from taking any action with respect to the Existing Default and (ii) from issuing any demand for redemption of the Note on the basis of the Existing Default until the earlier of: (1): (September 16, 2020 (or, if earlier, such date when all amounts outstanding under the Note shall be paid in full or converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance therewith) and (2) the time of any breach by the Company of the Agreement or the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not an Existing Default (the “Forbearance Expiration Date”), (b) during the Forbearance Period waive the prepayment premium to any Company Optional Redemption, and (c) during the Forbearance Period, waive the repayment in full of the Note other than the Required Payments (as defined) prior to September 16, 2020. The Scheduled Required Prepayments are $100,000 upon signing the Agreement and five (5) monthly payments thereafter aggregating $200,000 with all amounts outstanding under the Note due on September 16, 2020. In addition, there are mandatory prepayments in the event the Company completes a Subsequent Placement (as defined) or long-term debt (other than from the Buyer or from officers and directors and advisors of the Company) or factoring and purchase order indebtedness, the Company shall effect a Company Optional Redemption amount equal to 50% of the gross proceeds (less reasonable expenses of counsel and any investment bank) together with all Scheduled Required Payments.

 

On September 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”). The Note was due to be paid in full on or before September 16, 2020 and was not paid (the “Existing Default”). The Note provides that upon an Event of Default, the Buyer may, among other things, require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Note at a redemption premium of 120%, multiplied by the product of the conversion rate ($6.00per share) and the then current market price.

 

The Agreement provides that the Buyer will (a) forbear (i) from taking any action with respect to the Existing Default and (ii) from issuing any demand for redemption of the Note on the basis of the Existing Default until the earlier of: (1): June 16, 2021 (or, if earlier, such date when all amounts outstanding under the Note shall be paid in full or converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance therewith) and (2) the time of any breach by the Company of the Agreement or the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not an Existing Default (the “Forbearance Expiration Date), (b) during the Forbearance Period (as defined) waive the prepayment premium to any Company Optional Redemption (which will result in  the 120% redemption premium effectively replaced with 100%), and (c) during the Forbearance Period, waive the repayment in full of the Note other than the Required Payments (as defined) prior to June 16, 2021. The Scheduled Required Prepayments are $63,000 upon signing the Agreement and eight (8) monthly payments thereafter aggregating $480,000 with the remaining $607,000 outstanding under the Note due on June 16, 2021. In addition, there are mandatory prepayments in the event the Company completes a Subsequent Placement (as defined) or long-term debt (other than from the Buyer or from officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders of the Company) or factoring and purchase order indebtedness, the Company shall effect a Company Optional Redemption amount equal to 50% of the gross proceeds (less reasonable expenses of counsel and any investment bank) together with all Scheduled Required Payments.

 

The May 2019 Note is convertible at any time by the Holder into 250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share at the rate of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), the Buyer may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company considered the need for the conversion feature to be bifurcated under ASC 815 and determined that it does not meet the requirements. Additionally, the Company determined the effective conversion rate under ASC 470-20 and determined that the instrument is out of the money and no beneficial conversion feature was recorded.

 

The May 2019 Note is senior in right of payment to all other existing and future indebtedness of the Company except Permitted Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the May 2019 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 May 2019 Note includes customary Events of Default and provides that the Buyer may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether the Event of Default has been cured) all or a portion of the Note at a redemption premium equal to the greater of: (i) the product of the redemption premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent, multiplied by the conversion amount, and (ii) the product of the conversion rate ($6.00 per share) multiplied by the product of 125% multiplied by the then current market price. The Buyer may also require redemption of the May 2019 Note upon a Change of Control (as defined) at a premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent. The Company has the right to redeem the May 2019 Note at any time, in whole or in part, in cash at a price equal to 120% of the then outstanding conversion amount.

    

Conversion of the May 2019 Note is subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting the May 2019 Note into shares of common stock if its beneficial ownership of the common stock would exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a principal balance $1,500,000 on the May 2019 Note and the Company had accrued $25,334 in interest expense. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repaid $593,000 such that as of December 31, 2020, the Company had a principal balance $907,000 on the May 2019 Note and the Company had accrued $15,420 in interest expense.

 

Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for this transaction equal to six (6%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering. This 6% fee or $90,000 was recorded as debt discount along with the $30,000 in legal fees associated with the May 2019 Note. These fees will be amortized over the term of the note. The Company amortized $90,491 in the year ended December 31, 2019 and the remaining $29,509 was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

December 21, 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On December 21, 2020 (the “Issue Date”), Cosmos Holdings, Inc. (“Cosmos”, the “Borrower” or the “Company”) entered into a convertible promissory note with Platinum Point Capital, LLC (the “Holder”, “Lender” or “Platinum”).

 

The Company issued the $540,000 Note in exchange for $500,000 in cash and included a $40,000 Original Issue Discount (“OID”) and paid $3,000 in financing costs. The principal amount together with interest at the rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum, compounded annually (the “Interest Rate”), will be paid to the Lenders on or before the Maturity Date (December 31, 2021 or as defined below). Accrued interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event that on or before the Maturity Date, the Note either (i) have not been converted or have not been otherwise satisfied in full or (ii) an Event of Default occurs, then the applicable rate of interest on the outstanding amount of the Note since inception shall be the Interest Rate plus eighteen percent (18.0%), the Default Interest. Unless previously converted, the principal and accrued interest on the Note is due and payable in cash (USD) upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, (ii) a Change of Control (as defined below) or (iii), an Event of Default (as defined below) (collectively, the “Maturity Date”).

 

The Note may be prepaid in whole or part beginning from the issue date until a date not later than 180 days thereafter, the Company shall have the right to prepay the full amount outstanding under the Note (principal and accrued interest), in full by making a payment to the Holder in an amount equal to one hundred twenty (120%) multiplied by the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Note plus (y) Default Interest, if any.

 

The Holder shall have the right at any time from the Issue Date to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Note into Common Stock at the Conversion Price of as defined below.

  

 

a)

The Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (subject to stock splits, dividends, rights offerings or similar events) shall mean seventy-five percent (75%) multiplied by the Market Price defined as the average of the three (3) lowest trading prices for common stock during the fifteen (15) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.

 

 

 

 

b)

Conversion upon Qualified Financing. If the Company engaged in a registered offering resulting in an “uplisting” to a higher-tiered trading market (a “Qualified Financing”), the Holder has the option to convert any outstanding debt due under this Note at seventy-five (75%) of the per share offering price.

 

 

 

 

c)

Conversion Price During Major Announcements. In the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other Company (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing Company and its capital stock is unchanged or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase fifty percent (50%) or more of the Borrower's Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the announcement date shall be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect.

      

The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a beneficial conversion feature and a derivative liability which is accounted for separately. The Company measured the beneficial conversion feature’s intrinsic value on December 16, 2020 and determined that the embedded derivative was valued at $456,570 which was recorded as a debt discount, and together with the original issue discount and transaction expenses of $43,000, in the aggregate of $499,570, is being amortized over the life of the loan. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the derivative liability was $460,728 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company recorded a loss of $4,158 from the change in fair value of derivative liability as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
