The Company has accrued interest of $232,472 (December 31, 2019 - $220,472) related to one of these promissory notes.

If more than 50% of the Company’s stock or assets are sold, Mr. Chan will be compensated for entering into non-compete agreements based on the selling price of the Company or its assets as follows:

-5% of sales price in excess of $200,000,000.

 

ii)On June 13, 2018, Mr. Sidney Chan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company accepted a proposal from the Board of Directors of the Company to purchase the $5,000,000 convertible debenture financing (the “Financing”). The Note will be convertible for a period of 5 years, will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and will be repayable in four equal semi-annual instalments starting 42 months after its issuance until maturity. The Note will be transferable or saleable by the Chairman or other holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to the Company.

 

On September 20, 2018, the parties agreed to increase the proposed Financing from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. On October 25, 2018, the parties agreed to increase the proposed Financing from $7,000,000 to $8,500,000 (the “Amended Financing”). The Amended Financing will continue to be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at $0.05 per share. On December 11, 2019, the parties agreed to increase the proposed Financing from $8,500,000 to $10,300,000. The Company has reserved up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with respect to the possible exercise of the Note.

 

The Company and the Chairman are continuing discussions on a definitive agreement to implement the Note with the customary terms, conditions and representations of a commercial lending agreement. The closing of the Amended Financing and sale of the Note will not occur until such time that is 30 days subsequent to the confirmation of the Company’s first commercial sale of its diabetes management software program, which has not yet occurred.
