Business Overview

 

On March 25, 2019, we announced that we were shifting our primary corporate focus to the transportation/ridesharing industry with the signing of a fleet agreement with the rideshare platform, Ridesharerental.com (http://www.Ridesharerental.com) (the “Rideshare Platform”). As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company’s operating business segments will be primarily focused on our Fleet Agreement with Rideshare rental.com and the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be made commercially available for rent to rent to Uber and Lyft drivers in the South Florida Region (“Fleet Management”). Initially concentrating in the South Florida region, DNA Brands is the First fleet operator in the State of Florida with www.RideshareRentals.com and anticipates covering the whole state by years end.

 

The Company’s Fleet Management business focuses on the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles, to be subsequently rented directly to drivers in the ridesharing economy. The Fleet Management business and vehicles are made commercially available through the Rideshare Platform, which is available at www.ridesharerental.com. DNA Brands has obtained financing in order to begin the fleet purchase process. The company fully intends to continue adding cars to its fleet monthly. The most significant portion of the use of proceeds of this offering will be to add additional vehicles to our Fleet Management business.

 

The Company now has four vehicles in service.

 

The Ridesharing Industry

 

At the most basic level, real-time ridesharing is a service that arranges one-time shared rides on very short notice. The internet-connected, global positioning system (“GPS”) enabled device automatically detects your current location, takes the home location that you have programmed in previously and searches the database for drivers traveling a similar route and willing to pick up passengers. According to Wikipedia.org, “real-time” ridesharing is defined as “a single, or recurring Rideshare trip with no fixed schedule, organized on a one-time basis, with matching of participants occurring as little as a few minutes before departure or as far in advance as the evening before a trip is scheduled to take place”.

 

The growth of the ridesharing economy has resulted in increasing consumer demand for ridesharing services, provided by transportation network companies (“TNC”) such as Lyft, DIDI, VIA, Juno, Gett and Uber, that offer a ridesharing economy service through mobile applications. Ridesharing apps connect people who need a ride with people who have a vehicle and time to drive - notably, not necessarily people who are licensed taxi drivers. Companies like Lyft, DIDI, VIA, Juno, Gett and Uber provide a smartphone app that lets consumers hail a ride, set their destination, and pay without leaving the app itself. The benefits to the consumer is ease of use, availability of rides, and sometimes lower prices than traditional taxis. Many companies require at least some sort of certification for the drivers and take a portion of the drivers’ fares. Drivers can choose when they work (though they can receive bonuses for logging a certain number of hours) and provide their own vehicles. Early entrants in the TNC app space, like Uber and Flywheel, were founded around 2009. Overall, the industry has raised more than $10 billion in venture funding.

 

We believe that we have strong economic prospects by virtue of the following dynamics of the industry:

 

·Continued Growth in Ridesharing Market. The ridesharing services market has grown faster, gone to more places and has produced robust growth and consumer traffic figures since commercial introduction in approximately 2009. The pace of growth is also picking up. It has been reported that Uber took six (6) years before it reached a billion rides in December of 2015, but it took only six (6) months for Uber to get to two billion rides. In the U.S., the number of users of ridesharing services is estimated to increase from 8.2 million in 2014 to 20.4 million in 2020, producing a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 13.92% over the seven-year period.

 

·Globalization of Ridesharing. In the same vein, ridesharing which started as an experiment in California has grown into a global marketplace over a short period of time. Asia has emerged as a geographical territory to drive future growth. For example, Didi Chuang, the Chinese ridesharing company, completed 1.43 billion rides just in 2015 and it now claims to have 250 million users in 360 Chinese cities. Ridesharing is also acquiring deep roots in both India and Malaysia, and is making advances in Europe and Latin America, despite regulatory pushback.

 

·Expanding Choices. Consumer options in ridesharing are expanding to attract an even larger audience, such as carpooling and private bus services. The expansion of consumer options has also attracted mass transit customers to more expensive luxury options. In addition, it has been reported that dominant TNC businesses are experimenting with pre-scheduled rides and multiple stops on single trip gain to meet customer needs. Our Fleet Management business and fleet of rental vehicles are designed to put more certified ridesharing vehicles on the roadways to meet the increasing consumer demand of the availability of ridesharing services.

Our Opportunity

 

The increasing demand for ridesharing services has produced an increase in demand by TNC businesses for more ridesharing drivers and vehicles on the road at any given time. The growing demographic of ridesharing drivers, as determined on a global basis, has drawn ridesharing drivers to the ridesharing marketing to perform services for a host of private TNC businesses focused on ridesharing, such as Uber and Lyft. The Company believes that private ridesharing TNC businesses are hiring more than an estimated 50,000 drivers a month to keep pace with the current commercial demand for ridesharing services.

 

Complicating this matter further, many potential ridesharing drivers drawn to the ridesharing market are being rejected or turned away from driving for the private ridesharing TNCs on account of the fact that many potential ridesharing driver’s personal vehicles are failing to meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements imposed on all ridesharing drivers and vehicles by the private ridesharing TNCs. The Ridesharing Qualification Requirements include not only certain requirements on all ridesharing drivers and their respective vehicles (the “Driver Qualification Requirements”) but also additional vehicle safety tests, inspections and precautions on all ridesharing vehicles to be utilized by drivers under employment with the private ridesharing TNCs. Generally, the vehicle safety tests, inspections and precautions require all vehicles to pass a standard vehicle inspection test administered by the respective TNC employer (the “Vehicle Qualification Requirements”, together with the Driver Qualification Requirements, the “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”). For more information see “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”. The Company estimates that approximately 30%-50% of potential ridesharing drivers do not own or have access to a car or vehicle that will meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. Further, the Company believes that this issue surrounding the Ridesharing Qualifications Requirements are exacerbating the problem and resulting in a shortfall of ridesharing drivers on the road at any given time. Private ridesharing TNCs have responded to this issue by actively pursuing programs to get eligible ridesharing drivers into qualified cars that meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. The Company believes that the TNC line of business and immense capital requirements in developing a fleet management business to service the growing ridesharing industry on such a large scale will restrict the ability of the private ridesharing TNCs to dominate the ridesharing vehicle rental market. Additionally, under the general rules being enforced by the leading TNCs, TNCs are restricted from owning a fleet of vehicles or partaking in the fleet management business. Further, despite the financial resources and scale of the dominant TNCs in the ridesharing business, the Company believes that third-party vehicle rental providers are a necessity to the growth and service of a robust ridesharing market.

 

Our Concurrent and Recent Financing Activities.

 

DNA Brands Inc., Recent Financing Activities

 

In February 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum and carries an annual transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

In July and August 2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In February 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lender 280,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures were offered by the Company’s officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black- Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company’s financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On April 9, 2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY (“CMI”), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a “best efforts” basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a “best efforts” basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of $187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

 

In July 2012, the Company received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash or the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not less than $0.15. In the event that the Company offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15, the floor conversion price will adjust to the new lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debentures. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from our current expectations. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the context of this Offering Circular.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

 

We have a limited operating history in the rideshare industry on which to judge our business prospects and management.

 

We have limited operating history as a rideshare company upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. You must consider the risks and difficulties we face as a small operating company with limited operating history.

 

On March 25, 2019, we announced that we were shifting our primary corporate focus in the transportation/ridesharing industry towards the vehicle rental business with a focus on the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be made commercially available for rent to rideshare drivers. We have limited operating history in the vehicle rental, fleet management and transportation industry.

 

If we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely harmed. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and we cannot assure you that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by small operating companies with limited operating history, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Operating results will depend upon many factors, including our success in attracting and retaining motivated and qualified personnel, our ability to establish short term credit lines or obtain financing from other sources, such as the contemplated Regulation A+ offering, our ability to develop and market new products, control costs, and general economic conditions. We cannot assure you that the Company will successfully address any of these risks.

 

We will need but may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

 

We have relied upon cash from financing activities and in the future, we hope to rely more predominantly on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate significant cash from our operating activities in the future to funds our continuing operations. Future financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any investor interest in its securities.

 

 

 

 

 13 
 

 

We have a history of losses and we expect significant increases in our costs and expenses to result in continuing losses for at least the foreseeable future.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we generated a loss of approximately ($622,915), bringing the accumulated deficit to approximately ($2,430,455) at December 31, 2018. Increases in costs and expenses may result in a continuation of losses for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that we will be commercially successful.

 

We have outstanding debt and lease commitments, which is secured by our assets and it may make it more difficult for us to make payments on the notes and our other debt and lease obligations.

 

As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding indebtedness totaling approximately $1,943,146. Our debt commitments could have important consequences to you. For example, they could:

 

·make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing in the future for our acquisitions and operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service or other general corporate requirements;

 

·require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the repayment of our debt and the interest associated with our debt rather than to other areas of our business;

 

·limit our operating flexibility due to financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, creating liens on our properties, making acquisitions or paying dividends;

 

·make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;

 

·place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

 

·make us more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business.

 

Our ability to meet our debt service and lease obligations depends on our future financial and operating performance, which will be impacted by general economic conditions and by financial, business and other competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors could include operating difficulties, increased operating costs, competition, regulatory developments and delays in our business strategies. Our ability to meet our debt service and lease obligations may depend in significant part on the extent to which we can successfully execute our business strategy and successfully operate our business segments. We may not be able to execute our business strategy and our business operations may be materially impacted.

 

If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or future sufficient borrowings are not available to us under our credit agreements or from other sources we might not be able to service our debt and lease commitments, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to service our debt and lease commitments, due to inadequate liquidity or otherwise, we may have to delay or cancel acquisitions, sell equity securities, sell assets or restructure or refinance our debt. We might not be able to sell our equity securities, sell our assets or restructure or refinance our debt on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms or at all. In addition, the terms of our agreements with original equipment manufacturers or debt agreements may prohibit us from pursuing any of these alternatives.

 

 

 

 

 14 
 

 

To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

 

Our ability to make payments on our debt, and to refinance our debt and fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This ability, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

 

We do not believe that our cash flow from operating activities and our existing capital resources, including the liquidity provided by our credit agreements and lease financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our operations and commitments for the next twelve months. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to pay our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance some or all of our debt on or before maturity, sell assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures or seek additional equity financing. We cannot assure you that efforts to refinance any of our debt will be successful.

 

Our debt and other commitments expose us to a number of risks, including:

 

Cash requirements for debt and lease obligations. A significant portion of the cash flow we generate must be used to service the interest and principal payments relating to our various financial commitments, $1,943,146 of long-term debt as of December 31, 2018. A sustained or significant decrease in our operating cash flows could lead to an inability to meet our debt service requirements or to a failure to meet specified financial and operating covenants included in certain of our agreements. If this were to occur, it may lead to a default under one or more of our commitments. In the event of a default for this reason, or any other reason, the potential result could be the acceleration of amounts due, which could have a significant and adverse effect on us.

 

Availability. Because we finance the majority of our operating and strategic initiatives using a variety of commitments, including $1,943,146 in total notes payable and loan facilities, we are dependent on continued availability of these sources of funds. If these agreements are terminated or we are unable to access them because of a breach of financial or operating covenants or otherwise, we will likely be materially affected.

 

Interest rate variability. The interest rates we are charged on a substantial portion of our debt, including the Second Note payable, are variable, increasing or decreasing based on changes in certain published interest rates. Increases to such interest rates would likely result in significantly higher interest expense for us, which would negatively affect our operating results. Because many of our customers finance their vehicle purchases, increased interest rates may also decrease vehicle sales, which would negatively affect our operating results.

 

We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices.

 

The vehicle rental and used-vehicle sale industries are highly competitive and are increasingly subject to substitution. We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the vehicle rental market and that technology has enabled cost-conscious customers, including business travelers, to more easily compare rates available from rental companies. If we try to increase our pricing, our competitors, some of whom may have greater resources and better access to capital than us, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. In addition, our competitors may reduce prices in order to, among other things, attempt to gain a competitive advantage, capture market share, or to compensate for declines in rental activity. To the extent we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors’ pricing, our revenues and results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. If competitive pressures lead us to match any of our competitors’ downward pricing and we are not able to reduce our operating costs, then our margins, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Further, we may in the future develop and launch other products or services that may be in direct competition with thevarious players in the ridesharing industry, such as Uber and Lyft, and all of whom have greater resources than us. There are low barriers to entry, and we expect that competition will intensify in the future. We believe that numerous factors, including price, offerings, reliability, client base, brand name and general economic trends will affect our ability to compete successfully. Our existing and future competitors may include many large companies that have substantially greater market presence and financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. There can be no assurance that we will have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing and support capabilities to compete successfully. Increased competition could result in significant competition, which in turn could result in lower revenues, which could materially adversely affect our potential profitability.

 

We face competition that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices.

 

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and are increasingly subject to substitution. We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the vehicle rental market and that the internet has enabled cost-conscious customers, including business travelers, to more easily compare rates available from rental companies. If we try to increase our pricing, our competitors, some of whom may have greater resources and better access to capital than us, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. In addition, our competitors may reduce prices in order to attempt to gain a competitive advantage, capture market share, or to compensate for declines in rental activity. To the extent we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors’ pricing, our revenues and results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. If competitive pressures lead us to match any of our competitors’ downward pricing and we are not able to reduce our operating costs, then our margins, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.

 

We face risks related to liabilities and insurance.

 

Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of the vehicles rented by us, and for employment-related injury claims by our employees. We cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to uninsured liability potentially resulting in multiple payouts or otherwise, liabilities in respect of existing or future claims exceeding the level of our insurance, availability of sufficient capital to pay any uninsured claims or the availability of insurance with unaffiliated carriers maintained on economically reasonable terms, if at all. While we have insurance for many of these risks, we retain risk relating to certain of these perils and certain perils are not covered by our insurance.

 

Regulatory issues. We are subject to a wide variety of regulatory activities, including:

 

Governmental regulations, claims and legal proceedings. Governmental regulations affect almost every aspect of our business, including the fair treatment of our employees, wage and hour issues, and our financing activities with customers. We could also be susceptible to claims or related actions if we fail to operate our business in accordance with applicable laws.

 

Vehicle Requirements. Federal and state governments in our markets have increasingly placed restrictions and limitations on the vehicles sold in the market in an effort to combat perceived negative environmental effects. For example, in the U.S., vehicle manufacturers are subject to federally mandated corporate average fuel economy standards which will increase substantially through 2025. Furthermore, numerous states, including California, have adopted or are considering requiring the sale of specified numbers of zero-emission vehicles. Significant increases in fuel economy requirements and new federal or state restrictions on emissions on vehicles and automobile fuels in the U.S. could adversely affect prices of and demand for the new vehicles that we sell.

 

Environmental regulations. We are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations, including those governing: discharges into the air and water; the operation and removal of storage tanks; and the use, storage and disposal of hazardous substances. In the normal course of our operations we use, generate and dispose of materials covered by these laws and regulations. We face potentially significant costs relating to claims, penalties and remediation efforts in the event of non-compliance with existing and future laws and regulations.

Accounting rules and regulations. The Financial Accounting Standards Board is currently evaluating several significant changes to generally accepted accounting standards in the U.S., including the rules governing the accounting for leases. Any such changes could significantly affect our reported financial position, earnings and cash flows. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission is currently considering adopting rules that would require us to prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which could also result in significant changes to our reported financial position, earnings and cash flows.

 

Changes in ridesharing Vehicle Requirements. Federal and state governments in our markets have increasingly placed restrictions and limitations on the vehicles sold in the market in an effort to combat perceived negative environmental effects. For example, in the U.S., vehicle manufacturers are subject to federally mandated corporate average fuel economy standards which will increase substantially through 2025. Furthermore, numerous states, including California, have adopted or are considering requiring the sale of specified numbers of zero-emission vehicles. Significant increases in fuel economy requirements and new federal or state restrictions on emissions on vehicles and automobile fuels in the U.S. could adversely affect prices of and demand for the new vehicles that we sell.

 

Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to taxes, automobile related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, licensing and franchising, automotive retail sales, cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

 

We are subject to a wide variety of U.S. laws and regulations and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter our business practices and materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, including our profitability. Those changes may come about through new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations.

 

Any new, or change in existing, U.S. law and regulation with respect to optional insurance products or policies could increase our costs of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenue and profitability. If customers decline to purchase supplemental liability insurance products from us as a result of any changes in these laws or otherwise, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

 

Certain proposed or enacted laws and regulations with respect to the banking and finance industries, including the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (including risk retention requirements) and amendments to the SEC's rules relating to asset-backed securities, could restrict our access to certain financing arrangements and increase our financing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

 

Inadequacy of capital.

 

The expected gross offering proceeds of a maximum of $2,500,000 may never be realized. While we believe that such proceeds will capitalize and sustain us to allow for the continued execution and operation of our business segments, if only a fraction of this Offering is sold, or if certain business segments financially underperform expectations, we may have inadequate funds to fully develop our business. Although we believe that the proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to help sustain our development process and business operations, there is no guarantee that we will raise all the funds needed to adequately fund the operations of our business segments.

 

We may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue our operations.

 

We will need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. This capital will be necessary to our Fleet Management business. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

 

 

 

 

 17 
 

 

We may pursue strategic transactions which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.

 

Any future strategic acquisition or disposition of assets or a business could involve numerous risks, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty integrating the acquired business or segregating assets and operations to be disposed of; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection with the acquisition or disposition or against any business we may acquire; (iv) changing our business profile in ways that could have unintended negative consequences; and (v) the failure to achieve anticipated synergies.

 

If we enter into significant strategic transactions, the related accounting charges may affect our financial condition and results of operations, particularly in the case of an acquisition. The financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. A material disposition could require the amendment or refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness or a portion thereof.

 

We rely on our management team, which has little experience working together.

 

We depend on a small number of executive officers and other members of management to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and operating business segments, and to manage employees and consultants. Our success will be dependent on the personal efforts of Howard Ullman and Adrian McKenzie, our president and CEO respectively, and such other key personnel. Any of our officers or employees can terminate his or her employment relationship at any time, and the loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. Our management team has worked together for only a very short period of time and may not work well together as a management team.

 

Raising additional capital by issuing additional securities may cause dilution to our current and future shareholders.

 

We will need to, or desire to, raise substantial additional capital in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among others:

 

·Our degree of success in generating rental and fees from our Fleet Management business;
·The costs of establishing or acquiring sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities for our services;
·The extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies, and other strategic relationships; and
·The costs of financing unanticipated working capital requirements and responding to competitive pressures.

 

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, we will reduce the percentage of ownership of the then-existing shareholders, and the holders of those newly-issued equity or convertible debt securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those possessed by our then-existing shareholders. Additionally, future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities in the public market could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our Common Stock at any given time.

 

If our management is unable to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the number and mix of vehicles used in our rental operations accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could suffer.

 

Because vehicle costs typically represent our single largest expense and vehicle purchases are typically made weeks or months in advance of the expected use of the vehicle, our business is dependent upon the ability of our management to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and consumer preferences with respect to the mix of vehicles used in our rental operations. To the extent we do not purchase sufficient numbers of vehicles, or the right types of vehicles, to meet consumer demand, we may lose revenue to our competitors. If we purchase too many vehicles, our vehicle utilization could be adversely affected and we may not be able to dispose of excess vehicles in a timely and cost-effective manner. If our management is unable to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and determine the appropriate mix of vehicles used in our rental operations, including because of changes in the competitive environment or economic factors outside of our control, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could suffer.

Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers and Employees.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:

 

·breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
·act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
·unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
·transactions for which the directors derived an improper personal benefit.

 

These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability in our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

Risks of borrowing.

 

If we incur additional indebtedness, a portion of our future revenues will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. Adefault under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to our rights. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of our assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, ability to generate revenue, operating results or financial condition.

 

Unanticipated obstacles to the operations of our business segments.

 

Many of our potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. The Board of Directors believes that the chosen operations and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of our principals and advisors. The Board of Directors reserve the right to make significant modifications to our stated strategies depending on future events.

 

Risks of operations.

 

Our operating results may be volatile, difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which may be outside of our control. Due to the nature of our target market, we may be unable to accurately forecast our future revenues and operating results. There are no assurances that we can generate significant revenue or achieve profitability. We anticipate having a sizeable amount of fixed expenses, and we expect to incur losses due to the execution of our business strategy, continued development efforts and related expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues while containing costs and operating expenses if we are to achieve profitability. We cannot be certain that we will ever achieve sufficient revenue levels to achieve profitability.

 

 

 

 

 19 
 

 

Minimal employees or infrastructure.

 

We will have a small number of employees and we don’t have any operational infrastructure or prior operating history. We intent to rely on our management team, our advisors, third-party consultants, outside attorneys, advisors, accountants, auditors, and other administrators. The loss of services of any of such personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and there can be no assurance that if any or all of such personnel were to become unavailable, that qualified successors can be found, on acceptable terms.

 

Limitation on remedies; indemnification.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, provides that officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates shall only be liable to the Company and its shareholders for losses, judgments, liabilities and expenses that result from the fraud or other breach of fiduciary obligations. Additionally, we intend to enter into corporate indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors consistent with industry practice. Thus, certain alleged errors or omissions might not be actionable by the Company. Our governing instruments also provide that, under the broadest circumstances allowed under law, we must indemnify its officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates for losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Company, including liabilities under applicable securities laws.

 

No dividends or return of profits.

 

We have not had any profits from any operations to date. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our operations. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We may fail to respond adequately to changes in technology and customer demands.

 

In recent years our industry has been characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. For example, in recent years, industry participants have taken advantage of new technologies to improve vehicle utilization, decrease customer wait times and improve customer satisfaction. Our industry has also seen the entry of new competitors whose businesses and efforts continue to introduce various types of self-driving vehicles. Our ability to continually improve our current processes, products and offerings in response to changes in technology is essential in maintaining our competitive position and maintaining current levels of customer satisfaction. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhanced product offerings.

 

Force Majeure.

 

Our business is uniquely susceptible to unforeseen delays or failures that are caused by forces of nature and related circumstances. These factors are outside and beyond our control. Delay or failure may be due to any act of God, fire, war, terrorism, flood, strike, labor dispute, disaster, transportation or laboratory difficulties or any similar or dissimilar event beyond our control. We will not be held liable to any shareholder in the event of any such failure.

 

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

 

Our growth is expected to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. As the number of our users, partners and other business partners grows, we must increasingly manage multiple relationships with various customers, strategic partners and other third parties. There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations or that our management will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully grow and scale our services, products and offerings. Our operating results will also depend on our ability to expand sales and marketing commensurate with the growth of our business and the ridesharing industry. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

 

 

 

 

 20 
 

 

Maintaining favorable brand recognition is essential to our success, and failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

 

Our business is heavily dependent upon the favorable brand recognition that our “DNA Brands” brand names have in the markets in which they participate. Factors affecting brand recognition are often outside our control, and our efforts to maintain or enhance favorable brand recognition, such as marketing and advertising campaigns, may not have their desired effects. In addition, it may be difficult to monitor or enforce such requirements, particularly in foreign jurisdictions and various laws may limit our ability to enforce the terms of these agreements or to terminate the agreements. Any decline in perceived favorable recognition of our brands could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

 

Changes in U.S., global or regional economic conditions.

 

A decrease in economic activity in the United States or in other regions of the world in which we plan to offer our Fleet Management offerings and related services could adversely affect demand, thus reducing our ability to generate revenue. A decline in economic conditions could reduce our users interest in utilizing our products and services. In addition, an increase in price levels generally, or in price levels in a particular sector such as the fuel sector, could result in a shift in consumer demand away from ridesharing services, which could also adversely affect our revenues and, at the same time, increase our costs.

 

In the car rental business, a decline in economic activity typically results in a decline in both business and leisure travel and, accordingly, a decline in the volume of car rental transactions. In the equipment rental business, a decline in economic activity typically results in a decline in activity in non-residential construction and other businesses in which our equipment rental customers operate and, therefore, results in a decline in the volume of equipment rental transactions. In the case of a decline in car or equipment rental activity, we may reduce rental rates to meet competitive pressures, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. A decline in economic activity also may have a material adverse effect on residual values realized on the disposition of our revenue earning cars and/or equipment.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

 

If our efforts to attract prospective customers to our Fleet Management business are not successful, or we fail to retain customers or continue attracting existing customers to our products and services, our growth prospects and revenue will be adversely affected.

 

Our ability to grow our business and generate revenue depends on retaining and expanding our total customer base, increasing revenue by effectively increasing the number of customers to our Fleet Management business. We must convince prospective customers of the benefits of our ridesharing vehicle rental services and equipment offerings and our existing users of the continuing value of our products and services. Our ability to attract new users and customers, retain existing users and customers. If we fail to keep pace with competing offerings or technological advancements to the ridesharing industry or our partner fails to offer compelling product offerings and state-of-the-art delivery for its Rideshare Platform to meet consumer demands, our ability to grow or sustain the reach of our product and service offerings, attract and retain users and customers may be adversely affected.

 

We have no control over the Vehicle Registration Requirements or such other ridesharing vehicle requirements imposed by the major TNC providers, and our business may be adversely affected in the event that TNC providers restrict or limit prospective ridesharing drivers from utilizing or registering rental vehicles with the TNC.

 

We rely on the major TNC businesses that drive and service the ridesharing economy, over whom we have no control, to impose the Vehicle Registration Requirements and permit prospective ridesharing drivers to utilize lease or rental vehicles, such as our product offerings, under their employment with the major TNC ridesharing services. We cannot guarantee that each major TNC business will always permit prospective ridesharing drivers to use third-party lease or rental vehicles under their employment agreement with the TNC.

 

 

 

 

 21 
 

 

Our business may be adversely affected if our ability to rent vehicles maintained under our Fleet Management business is limited, impaired or delayed because of a modification to the Vehicle Registration Requirements or any similar prohibition that prevents prospective ridesharing drivers from renting our Fleet Management vehicles or other third-party vehicle rentals for use under the terms of the prospective ridesharing drivers agreement with such TNC businesses.

 

We face risks of increased costs of cars and of decreased profitability, including as a result of limited supplies of competitively priced cars.

 

Certain car manufacturers, such as Ford, have adopted strategies to de-emphasize sales to the car rental industry which they view as less profitable due to historical sales incentive and other discount programs that tended to lower the average cost of cars for fleet purchasers such as us. Reduced or limited supplies of equipment together with increased prices are risks that we also face in our equipment rental business. We cannot offer assurance that we will be able to pass on increased costs of cars or equipment to our rental customers. Failure to pass on significant cost increases to our customers would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Fluctuations in fuel costs or reduced supplies could harm our business.

 

We could be adversely affected by limitations on fuel supplies, the imposition of mandatory allocations or rationing of fuel or significant increases in fuel prices. A severe or protracted disruption of fuel supplies or significant increases in fuel prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, either by directly interfering with our normal activities or by disrupting the air travel on which a significant portion of our car rental business relies.

 

The concentration of our reservations, accounting and information technology functions at a limited number of facilities in Florida creates risks for us.

 

We have concentrated our reservations functions for the United States in one office location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and we have concentrated our accounting functions for the United States in one office location in Los Angeles. In addition, our major information systems are centralized in our office location in Fort Lauderdale. A disruption of normal business at any of our principal office location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, whether as the result of localized conditions (such as a fire or explosion) or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (such as an earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service, accounting and systems activities.

 

We face risks arising from our heavy reliance on communications networks and centralized information systems.

 

We rely heavily on information systems to accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our fleets of cars and equipment, account for our activities and otherwise conduct our business. We have centralized our information systems in one office location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and we rely on communications service providers to link our systems with the business locations these systems serve. A simultaneous loss of both facilities, or a major disruption of communications between the systems and the locations they serve, could cause a loss of reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our fleet, slow rental and sales processes and otherwise materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively. Our systems back-up plans, business continuity plans and insurance programs are designed to mitigate such a risk, not to eliminate it. In addition, because our systems contain information about individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold, whether the result of our own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation or give rise to legal liabilities leading to lower revenues, increased costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations.

 

 

 

 

 22 
 

 

The misuse or theft of information we possess could harm our reputation or competitive position, adversely affect the price at which shares of our common stock trade or give rise to material liabilities.

 

We possess non-public information with respect to individuals, including our customers and our current and former employees, and businesses, as well as non-public information with respect to our own affairs. The misuse or theft of that information by either our employees or third parties could result in material damage to our brand, reputation or competitive position or materially affect the price at which shares of our Common Stock trade. In addition, depending on the type of information involved, the nature of our relationship with the person or entity to which the information relates, the cause and the jurisdiction whose laws are applicable, that misuse or theft of information could result in governmental investigations or material civil or criminal liability. The laws that would be applicable to such a failure are rapidly evolving and becoming more burdensome.

 

If we acquire any businesses in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, or have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

We intend to pursue growth primarily through internal growth, but from time to time we may consider opportunistic acquisitions which may be significant. Any future acquisition would involve numerous risks including, without limitation:

 

·potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;

 

·difficulty integrating the acquired business; and

 

·exposure to unknown liabilities, including litigation against the companies we may acquire.

 

If we make acquisitions in the future, acquisition-related accounting charges may affect our balance sheet and results of operations. In addition, the financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. We may not be successful in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions.

 

We are subject to a number of risks related to other payment solution providers.

 

We will accept payments through various payment solution providers, such as telco integrated billings and prepaid codes vendors. These payment solution providers provide services to us in exchange for a fee, which may be subject to change. Furthermore, we rely on their accurate and timely reports on sales and redemptions. If such accurate and timely reports are not being provided, it will affect the accuracy of our reports to our licensors, and also affect the accuracy of our financial reporting.

 

Our business is seasonal in Florida, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Certain significant components of our expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, utilities, maintenance and other facility- related expenses, the costs of operating our information systems and minimum staffing costs, are fixed in the short-run. Seasonal changes in our revenues do not alter those fixed expenses, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher and lower profitability in periods when our revenues are lower. The Company believes that the second and third quarters of the year will be stronger quarters due to their increased levels of leisure travel and construction activity. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during the second or third quarters could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our liquidity and/or results of operations.

 

 

 

 

 23 
 

 

Governmental regulation and associated legal uncertainties could limit our ability to expand our product offerings or enter into new markets and could require us to expend significant resources, including the attention of our management, to review and comply with such regulations.

 

Elements of the ridesharing industry are currently or will be regulated by Federal, state, city and/or local governments, and our ability to provide these services is and will continue to be affected by government regulations. The implementation of unfavorable regulations or unfavorable interpretations of existing regulations by courts or regulatory bodies with respect to the ridesharing industry or “Transportation Network Companies” (“TNC”) could require us to incur significant compliance costs, cause the development of the affected markets to become impractical and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, in the future, we may elect to add services or products to our business plan that compete directly with ridesharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, which could expose us to additional regulations, compliance obligations and legal challenges. In addition, our business strategy involves expansion into regions around the world, many of which have different legislation, regulatory environments, tax laws and levels of political stability. Compliance with foreign legal, governmental, regulatory or tax requirements will place demands on our time and resources, and we may nonetheless experience unforeseen and potentially adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences. It is intended that our business will assist with the processing of customer credit card transactions which would result in us receiving and storing personally identifiable information. This information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world. This legislation and regulation is generally intended to protect the privacy and security of personal information, including credit card information, that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction. We could be adversely affected if government regulations require TNCs, and as a result, us to significantly change our business practices with respect to this type of information.

 

Manufacturer safety recalls could create risks to our business.

 

Our Fleet Management vehicles may be subject to safety recalls by their manufacturers. The Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act of 2015 prohibits us from renting vehicles with open federal safety recalls and to repair or address these recalls prior to renting or selling the vehicle. Any federal safety recall with respect to our vehicles would require us to decline to rent recalled vehicles until we can arrange for the steps described in the recall to be taken. If a large number of vehicles are the subject of a recall or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, we may not be able to rent recalled vehicles for a significant period of time. Those types of disruptions could jeopardize our ability to fulfill existing contractual commitments or satisfy demand for our vehicles and could also result in the loss of business to our competitors. Depending on the severity of any recall, it could materially adversely affect our revenues, create customer service problems, reduce the residual value of the recalled vehicles and harm our general reputation.

 

If we are unable to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles and the cost of the vehicles we purchase increases, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

 

The price and other terms at which we can acquire vehicles vary based on market and other conditions. For example, certain vehicle manufacturers have in the past, and may in the future, utilize strategies to de-emphasize sales to the vehicle rental industry, which can negatively impact our ability to obtain vehicles on competitive terms and conditions. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we can purchase a sufficient number of vehicles at competitive prices and on competitive terms and conditions. If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of vehicles, or if we obtain less favorable pricing and other terms when we acquire vehicles and are unable to pass on any increased costs to our customers, then our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

 

If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property, it may result in costly litigation.

 

We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim our current or future products or services infringe their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could cause costly litigation that could consume significant management time. As the number of product and services offerings in the ridesharing industry increases and functionalities increasingly overlap, companies such as ours may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Such claims also might require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If required, we may not be able to obtain such royalty or license agreements or obtain them on terms acceptable to us.

Failure to comply with federal and state privacy laws and regulations, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new privacy laws or regulations, could adversely affect our business.

 

A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. Further, several states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self- regulatory principles could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards or with our own privacy policies and practices could adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party web “cookies” for behavioral advertising. The regulation of these cookies and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business.

 

Our business model is entirely dependent on the continued success and viability of the ridesharing industry and “transportation network companies”, and we may become subject to government regulation and legal uncertainties that could reduce demand for our products and services or increase the cost of doing business, thereby adversely affecting our ability to generate revenues.

 

The past year has seen a boom in the number of ridesharing companies that allow customers to order rides on demand using apps on their smartphones. Private drivers use their personal automobiles to pick up the customers and drive them to the desired destination in exchange for a negotiated fee. The passengers then write reviews, similar to other peer-to-peer online services. Large amounts of venture capital and private equity has been invested in a handful of these new companies, which have the potential to disrupt the traditional transportation industry. However, the ridesharing marketplace has come under increased scrutiny from governments and various interested groups (such as taxi drivers, taxi companies, environmentalists, etc.) have continuously opposed the proliferation of ridesharing services in recent years. Despite opposition from many of these interested groups and governmental agencies, on September 19, 2013, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) voted unanimously to allow these ridesharing services to operate in California as a new category of business called “transportation network companies” (“TNC”).

 

In many states and possibly Florida, licenses will be issued to qualifying TNCs, subject to new regulations that require drivers to undergo criminal background checks and vehicle inspections, receive driver training, follow a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol, and carry insurance policies with a minimum of $1 Million in liability coverage. Some of the companies that are expected to receive new TNC licenses include Lyft (www.lyft.me), SideCar (www.side.cr) and UberX (www.uber.com). The CPUC has responded to rapidly evolving disruptive technology and its decision will likely set an example for cities and states across the country. Its decision is also expected to preempt ongoing efforts by some California cities to regulate or ban peer-to-peer ridesharing under their authority to license taxi companies. The City of Los Angeles, however, is currently considering a possible appeal of the CPUC decision and implementing additional regulations to TNC drivers, which have been referred to as “Bandit cabs” by some on the City Council. Other cities across the country are also now looking at new regulations for Rideshare companies.

As can be gleaned from these recent events around the ridesharing industry, this new business model is not without its opponents. Some raise concerns about public safety and the potential for abuse or unintended consequences, while others question whether the new regulations require additional enforcement capability. The taxi industry, which is less than pleased to see this new competition, has criticized these ridesharing apps as operating essentially like unlicensed taxi cabs. Since the new technology uses GPS to measure the distance of a ride and the corresponding fee, the taxi industry believes that it works similarly to a taxi meter and should therefore comply with local taxi ordinances. Some of the primary concerns raised by skeptics include how liability will be allocated between the TNC and its independent contractor driver, and how the insurance industry will adapt to this new business. Proper hiring practices, training and oversight by the TNC also will be necessary to ensure public safety. The extent to which the TNCs will be inspected and the new regulations enforced is still unclear, but this will be an important means by which the public may judge the safety of this new industry. Based on the direction states and cities are heading with respect to the governance of TNCs or ridesharing services, and the ever increasing popularity and use of ridesharing services and TNCs, it is likely that a number of laws and regulations will become applicable to us or the TNCs which we rely upon for the operation of products and related services or may be adopted in the future with respect to mobile applications and/or TNCs covering issues such as: (i) liability, (ii) unionization, (iii) rules and standards for drivers, vehicles, and passenger safety, (iv) licensing and insurance requirements, and (v) environmental concerns, among others. It is difficult to predict how existing laws will be applied to our business and the new laws and regulations to which we and/or ridesharing services will likely become subject. If ridesharing services are not able to comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could be directly harmed, and we may be forced to implement new measures to sustain our operating business segments. We anticipate that scrutiny and regulation of the ridesharing industry will increase and we will be required to devote legal and other resources to addressing such regulation, either directly or indirectly. Changes to these laws intended to address these issues, including some recently proposed changes, could create uncertainty in the marketplace. Such uncertainty could reduce demand for our services or increase the cost of doing business due to increased costs of litigation or increased service or operating costs.

 

We may be subject to a number of risks related to credit card payments, including data security breaches and fraud that we or third parties experience or additional regulation, any of which could adversely affect our business financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be subject to a number of risks related to credit card payments, including data security breaches and fraud that we or third parties experience or additional regulation, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We anticipate accepting payment from our users primarily through credit card transactions and certain online payment service providers. The ability to access credit card information on a real time-basis without having to proactively reach out to the consumer each time we process an auto-renewal payment or a payment for the purchase of a premium feature on any of our dating products is critical to our success. When we or a third party experiences a data security breach involving credit card information, affected cardholders will often cancel their credit cards. In the case of a breach experienced by a third party, the more sizable the third party's customer base and the greater the number of credit card accounts impacted, the more likely it is that our users would be impacted by such a breach. To the extent our users are ever affected by such a breach experienced by us or a third party, affected users would need to be contacted to obtain new credit card information and process any pending transactions. It is likely that we would not be able to reach all affected users, and even if we could, some users' new credit card information may not be obtained and some pending transactions may not be processed, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if our users are not directly impacted by a given data security breach, they may lose confidence in the ability of service providers to protect their personal information generally, which could cause them to stop using their credit cards online and choose alternative payment methods that are not as convenient for us or restrict our ability to process payments without significant user effort. Additionally, if we fail to adequately prevent fraudulent credit card transactions, we may face civil liability, diminished public perception of our security measures and significantly higher credit card-related costs, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Finally, the passage or adoption of any legislation or regulation affecting the ability of service providers to periodically charge consumers for recurring membership payments may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on the continued growth and reliability of the internet, global positioning systems, ridesharing services and apps.

 

The recent growth in the use of apps and ridesharing services may cause periods of decreased performance for many ridesharing services, internet providers, apps and related service providers. If app and ridesharing usage continues to grow rapidly, the infrastructure these services are reliant upon (i.e. the internet, global positioning systems, and telecommunications networks and devices) may not be able to support these demands and therefore performance and reliability may decline. Decreased performance with respect to some or all of these critical components of our business model has also been attributed to illegal attacks by third parties. If outages or delays occur frequently or increase in frequency, or businesses are not able to protect themselves adequately from such illegal attacks, the market for mobile apps, ridesharing services and related technologies could grow more slowly or decline, which may reduce the demand for our Rideshare Platform and related services.

 

Our business is dependent upon consumers renting our Fleet Management vehicles, and using the related services of our partner’s Rideshare Platform and if we fail to obtain broad adoption, our business would be adversely affected.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to monetize our fleet of vehicles, which depends on our partner’s Rideshare Platform being fully functional and reliable as intended, and our customers adopting it as a ridesharing vehicle rental service provider. We do not know if the products and services will be successful over the long term and market acceptance may be hindered if our Rideshare platform doesn’t function efficiently and/or our user experience isn’t compelling and financially beneficial to our users. If consumers do not adopt and use our Rideshare Platform and related services, we will not be able to generate revenues and our financial condition will suffer as a result.

 

No assurances of protection for proprietary rights; reliance on trade secrets.

 

In certain cases, we may rely on trade secrets to protect intellectual property, proprietary technology and processes, which we have acquired, developed or may develop in the future. There can be no assurances that secrecy obligations will be honored or that others will not independently develop similar or superior products or technology. The protection of intellectual property and/or proprietary technology through claims of trade secret status has been the subject of increasing claims and litigation by various companies both in order to protect proprietary rights as well as for competitive reasons even where proprietary claims are unsubstantiated. The prosecution of proprietary claims or the defense of such claims is costly and uncertain given the uncertainty and rapid development of the principles of law pertaining to this area. We may also be subject to claims by other parties with regard to the use of intellectual property, technology information and data, which may be deemed proprietary to others.

 

We currently have a small sales and marketing organization. If we are unable to expand our direct sales force in Florida to promote our services and related products, the commercial appeal and brand awareness for our products and services may be diminished.

 

We currently have a small sales and marketing organization. The Company may expand the core sales and marketing team to oversee the sales and marketing of our “DNA Brands!” business. We will incur significant additional expenses and commit significant additional management resources to expand and grow our sales force. We may not be able to build on the expansion of these capabilities despite these additional expenditures. If we elect to rely on third parties to sell our products in the U.S., we may receive less revenue than if we sold our products directly. In addition, although we would intend to diligently monitor their activities, we may have little or no control over the sales efforts of those third parties. In the event we are unable to develop and expand our own sales force or collaborate with a third party to sell our products, we may not be able to operate our products and/or services which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue. We may not be able to enter into any marketing arrangements on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to enter into a marketing arrangement for our products, we may not be able to develop an effective sales force to successfully operate our products and/or services. If we fail to enter into marketing arrangements for our products and are unable to develop an effective sales force, our ability to generate revenue would be limited.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

  

Our Offering differs significantly from an underwritten initial public offering.

 

This is not an underwritten initial public offering. This listing differs from an underwritten initial public offering in several significant ways, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·There are no underwriters. Consequently, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery;
·There can be no assurance that we will be able to stay current with OTC Bulletin Board Pink Current Information requirements;
·There may be low trading volume of our Common Stock limiting their liquidity;
·We are not currently working with a market maker, therefore is no underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares to help stabilize, maintain, or affect the public price of our Common Stock;
·Given that there will be no underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares or otherwise underwriters in engaging in stabilizing transactions, there could be greater volatility in the public price of our Common Stock during the period immediately following qualification of this Offering; and
·We will not conduct a traditional “roadshow” with underwriters prior to the qualification of this Offering. As a result, there may not be efficient price discovery with respect to our ordinary shares or sufficient demand among investors immediately after our listing, which could result in a more volatile public price of our ordinary shares.

 

Such differences from an underwritten initial public offering could result in a volatile market price for our Common Stock and uncertain trading volume and may adversely affect your ability to sell your Common Stock.

 

The public price of our Common Stock may be volatile, and could, following a sale decline significantly and rapidly.

 

As this Offering is taking place via a process that is not an underwritten initial public offering, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery with respect to the opening trades on securities exchange markets. Following this Offering, the public price of our Common Stock on the OTCPNK exchange may lead to price volatility.

 

No minimum capitalization.

 

We do not have a minimum capitalization and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. It is possible we may only raise a minimum amount of capital, which could leave us with insufficient capital to operate our business segments, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

 

 

 

 28 
 

 

We may not be able maintain a listing of our Common Stock.

 

To maintain our listing on the OTCPNK exchange, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate the maintenance requirements for continued listing of our Common Stock, our Common Stock may be delisted. In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our Common Stock from the OTCPNK Market may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. In addition, in order to maintain our listing, we will be required to, among other things, file our regular quarterly reports on otcmarkets.com. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no guarantee that such amendment will be qualified promptly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification amendment may cause a delay in the trading of offering Shares. For all of the foregoing reasons, you may experience a delay between the closing of your purchase of shares of our Common Stock and the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock. In addition, the delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.

 

There may be significantly less trading volume and analyst coverage of, and significantly less investor interest in, our Common Stock, which may lead to lower trading prices for our Common Stock.

 

This Offering has not been reviewed by independent professionals.

 

We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision to purchase our Shares, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Shares.

 

There has been no public market for our Common Stock prior to this Offering, and an active market in which investors can resell their shares may not develop.

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this Offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market price of our Common Stock. The initial offering price of our Common Stock in this offering is based on a number of factors, including market conditions in effect at the time of the offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares will trade following the completion of this offering. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial offering price.

 

 

 

 

 

 29 
 

 

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

The offering price for our Common Stock is based on a number of factors. The price of our Common Stock may decline following this Offering. The stock market in general, and the market price of our Common Stock, will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects. Our financial performance, our industry’s overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price includes:

 

·actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;
·increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our Common Stock to demand a higher yield;
·changes in earnings estimates;
·changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·actions or announcements by our competitors;
·adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
·additions or departures of key personnel;
·actions by stockholders;
·speculation in the press or investment community; and
·our intentions and ability to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing.

 

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.

 

Sales of our Common Stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock.

 

In general, persons holding “restricted securities,” including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six (6) months, may not sell more than one percent (1%) of the total issued and outstanding shares in any ninety (90) day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. However, Rule 144 will only be available for resale in the ninety (90) days after the Company files its semi-annual reports on Form 1-SA and annual reports on Form 1-K, unless the Company voluntarily files interim quarterly reports on Form 1-U, which the Company has not yet decided to do. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.

 

Our failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us.

 

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

 30 
 

 

Management discretion as to the actual use of the proceeds derived from this Offering.

 

The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use of Proceeds.” However, we reserve the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently contemplated which we deem to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the Board of Directors with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors who purchase our Common Stock will be entrusting their funds to our Board of Directors, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend.

 

The offering price of our Common Stock was arbitrarily determined and does not reflect the value of the company, our assets or our business.

 

The offering price of our Common Stock was arbitrarily determined by our management and is not based on book value, assets, earnings or any other recognizable standard of value. We arbitrarily established the offering price considering such matters as the state of our business development and the general condition of, and opportunities present in, the industry in which we operate. No assurance can be given that our Common Stock Shares, or any portion thereof, could be sold for the offering price or for any amount. If profitable results are not achieved from our operations, of which there can be no assurance, the value of our Common Stock sold pursuant to this Offering will fall below the offering price and become worthless. Prospective investors should not consider the offering price of the Common Stock as indicative of their actual value. The offering price bears little relationship to our assets, net worth, or any other objective criteria.

 

General securities investment risks.

 

All investments in securities involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that an investor will receive a return of its capital. The value of our Common Stock can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including development problems, regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, government intervention, industry developments and trends, and general business and economic conditions.

 

Multiple securities offerings and potential for integration of our offerings.

 

We are currently and will in the future be involved in one or more additional offers of our securities in other unrelated securities offerings. Any two or more securities offerings undertaken by us could be found by the SEC, or a state securities regulator, agency, to be “integrated” and therefore constitute a single offering of securities, which finding could lead to a disallowance of certain exemptions from registration for the sale of our securities in such other securities offerings. Such a finding could result in disallowance of one or more of our exemptions from registration, which could give rise to various legal actions on behalf of a federal or state regulatory agency and the Company.

  

Offering not reviewed by independent professionals.

 

We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision to purchase our Common Stock, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

 31 
 

 

We cannot guarantee that we will sell any specific number of Common Stock shares in this Offering.

 

There is no commitment by anyone to purchase all or any part of the Common Stock Shares offered hereby and, consequently, we can give no assurance that all of the Common Stock shares in this Offering will be sold. Additionally, there is no underwriter for this Offering; therefore, you will not have the benefit of an underwriter's due diligence efforts that would typically include the underwriter being involved in the preparation of this Offering Circular and the pricing of our Common Stock shares offered hereunder. Therefore, there can be no assurance that this Offering will be successful or that we will raise enough capital from this Offering to further our development and business activities in a meaningful manner. Finally, prospective investors should be aware that we reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify this Offering at any time without notice, to reject any subscription in whole or in part, or to allot to any prospective purchaser fewer Common Stock Shares than the number for which he or she subscribed.

 

Investors will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment, and will experience additional dilution in the future.

 

If you purchase our Common Stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution because the price you pay will be substantially greater than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire. Since we will require funds in addition to the proceeds of this Offering to conduct our planned business, we will raise such additional funds, to the extent not generated internally from operations, by issuing additional equity and/or debt securities, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders (including purchasers of our Common Stock in this Offering).

 

We may be unable to meet our current and future capital requirements from capital raised by this Offering.

 

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the rate and success of our development efforts, marketing efforts, market acceptance of our products and services and other related services, our ability to establish and maintain our agreements with the ridesharing services currently operating, our ability to maintain and expand our user base, the rate of expansion of our user community, the level of resources required to develop and operate our products and services, information systems and research and development activities, the availability of software and services provided by third-party vendors and other factors. The capital requirements relating to development of our technology and the continued and expanding operations of our business segments will be significant. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of such capital requirements. However, we are dependent on the proceeds of this Offering as well as additional financing that will be required in order to operate our business segments and execute on our business plans. However, in the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient to operate our business segments, we would be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders (including those purchasing shares pursuant to this Offering), and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated business plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

There may be little to no volume in the trading of our common stock, and you may not be able to resell your Common Stock at or above the initial public offering price.

 

There can no assurance that our Common Stock shares will maintain a sufficient trading market sufficient for the shares in this offering. If no active trading market for our Common Stock is sustained following this Offering, you may be unable to sell your shares when you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider attractive or satisfactory. The lack of an active market may also adversely affect our ability to raise capital by selling securities in the future or impair our ability to license or acquire other product candidates, businesses or technologies using our shares as consideration.

 

 

 

 

 32 
 

 

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors in our Common Stock may lose all or a part of their investment.

 

If a market for our Common Stock develops following this Offering, the trading price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The market prices for securities of transportation ridesharing companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

 

·actual or anticipated adverse results or delays in our research and development efforts;
·our failure to operate our business;
·unanticipated serious safety concerns related to our business;
·adverse regulatory decisions;
·legal disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our intellectual property, government investigations and the results of any proceedings or lawsuits, including patent or stockholder litigation;
·changes in laws or regulations applicable to our business and the ridesharing industry;
·our dependence on third parties;
·announcements of the introduction of new products by our competitors;
·market conditions in the ridesharing or transportation sectors;
·announcements concerning product development results or intellectual property rights of others;
·future issuances of our Common Stock or other securities;
·the addition or departure of key personnel;
·actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
·announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;
·our failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;
·issuances of debt or equity securities;
·trading volume of our Common Stock;
·sales of our Common Stock by us or our stockholders in the future;
·overall performance of the equity markets and other factors that may be unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors, including changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·failure to meet or exceed any financial guidance or expectations regarding development milestones that we may provide to the public;
·ineffectiveness of our internal controls;
·general political and economic conditions;
·effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events;
·other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control; and
·publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts.

  

 

 

 33 
 

 

Further, price and volume fluctuations result in volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our Common Stock. Price volatility of our common stock might worsen if the trading volume of our Common Stock is low. The realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these “Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

A sale of a substantial number of shares of the Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued in connection with the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business. The stock markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the Common Stock of pharmaceutical companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of a company’s securities. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation often is expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.

 

Our semi-annual operating results may fluctuate significantly.

 

We expect our operating results to be subject to semi-annual fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:

 

·variations in the level of expenses related to our business segments;
·any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved;
·regulatory developments affecting our business and industry; and
·our execution of any collaborative, licensing or similar arrangements, and the timing of payments we may make or receive under these arrangements.

  

If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially.

 

Our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitation.

 

Generally, a change of more than fifty percent (50%) in the ownership of a company’s stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the period prior to the change. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability for us.

 

The number of securities traded on an ATS may be very small, making the market price more easily manipulated.

 

While we understand that many ATS platforms have adopted policies and procedures such that security holders are not free to manipulate the trading price of securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for our Common Stock because the ATS we choose may be a closed system that does not have the same breadth of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no assurance that the efforts by an ATS to prevent such behavior will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation.

The preparation of our financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.

 

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.

 

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

Our management has broad discretion as to the use of certain of the net proceeds from this Offering.

 

We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this Offering (if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated for use as working capital or for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

Our Common Stock could be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission if it were publicly traded and may be difficult to sell.

 

Our shares of Common Stock are considered to be “penny stocks” because they are not registered on a national securities exchange or listed on an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association, pursuant to Rule 3a51- 1(a) under the Exchange Act. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and that the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, which sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

The market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.

 

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

·control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
·manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
·boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
·excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
·the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.

  

The foregoing risk factors are not to be considered a definitive list of all the risks associated with an investment in our Offered Shares. This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections about our business, our industry, and the industry of our clients. When used in this Offering Circular, the words “expects,” anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The cautionary statements made in this Offering Circular should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Offering Circular.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Assuming the sale by us of the Maximum Offering of $2,500,000 and no estimated expenses, the total net proceeds to us would be $2,500,000, which we currently intend to use as set forth below. We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used, although we currently are not planning or negotiating any such transactions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of Common Stock. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds, if any. The following table represents management’s best estimate of the uses of the net proceeds received from the sale of Common Stock assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Common Stock shares offered for sale in this Offering.

 

Percentage of Offering Sold

 

    100%     75%     50%     25  
Marketing & Customer Acquisition Incentives   $ 250,000     $ 187,500     $ 125,000     $ 62,5000  
Professional Services     375,000       281,250       187,5000       93,750  
Strategic Partnerships/Acquisitions     250,000       187,500       125,000       62,500  
Leased Vehicle Purchases     1,250,000       937,5000       625,000       312,500  
Miscellaneous Operating Expenses     375,000       281,250       187,5000       93,750  
TOTAL   $ 2,500,000     $ 1,875,000     $ 1,250,000     $ 625,000  

  

The amounts set forth above are estimates, and we cannot be certain that actual costs will not vary from these estimates. Our management has significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds received in this Offering. We cannot assure you that our assumptions, expected costs and expenses and estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays will not occur that would require us to seek additional debt and/or equity funding, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. See “Risk Factors.”

 

This expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current financial condition, results of operations, business plans and conditions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this Offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.

 

We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the investment in strategic partnerships and possibly the acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies, although we have no present commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions or investments. Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this Offering.

Overview

 

DNA Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®, Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato.

 

Our business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”). Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation (“DNA Beverage”). Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).

 

Effective July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of the common stock of DNA Beverage’s wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”) in exchange for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance. As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to “DNA Brands, Inc.”

 

Grass Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands Inc has been the surviving

entity.

Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the Company ended December 31, 2018. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the unaudited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Summary of Results

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Prior to March 25, 2019, the Company derived revenues solely from the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products. Revenue is recognized when all of the following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv)legal title to the products has transferred to the customer; (v) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization phase and has minimal to no revenue.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate market rates.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but that include embedded derivative features.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.

 

The recognition of the fair value of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

 

 

 

 

 40 
 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company will bill its customers after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.

 

Inventory

 

No Inventory at present or for Fiscal year 2018

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company’s management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required. The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

None at present or for fiscal year 2018

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

None at present or for fiscal year 2018

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

 

No events or changes in circumstances have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Company’s long- lived assets reported at December 31, 2017 and 2018.

Financings and Securities Offerings

 

DNA Brands, Inc., Equity Offerings

 

In February 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum and carries an annual transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In July and August 2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In February 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lender 280,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures were offered by the Company’s officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company’s financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On April 9, 2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY (“CMI”), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a “best efforts” basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a “best efforts” basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of $187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

 

In July 2012, the Company received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash or the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not less than $0.15. In the event that the Company offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15, the floor conversion price will adjust to the new lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debentures. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

On August 7, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture does not bear interest. As an inducement, the Company agreed to issue the lender 20,000 shares of its common stock. The common shares were valued at their trading price on the date of the agreement and recorded as interest expense in the Company’s results of operations. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. During the second quarter of 2013, the conversion terms of this note were modified and the note was converted into 1,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

On September 25, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture bears interest at 6% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the four previous trading days prior to and day of conversion, but not less than $0.0001. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. During the second quarter of 2013, the lender converted $23,000 of principal into 919,403 shares of common stock in accordance with the conversion terms of the debenture.

 

On November 1, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $80,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 70% of the average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the 30 previous trading days prior to the day of conversion. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black- Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $56,286, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $65,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of three convertible debentures. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash at the time of maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity into 216,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lenders 216,667 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on February 28, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $69,455 and recorded as a discount up to the principal amount of the debentures. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, two of the debentures totaling $35,000 in principal value were converted into 316,667 shares of common stock. Some of the original conversion terms were modified prior to the notes’ conversions. The remaining $30,000 debenture is in default, as its maturity date was April 25, 2013.

On September 17, 2013, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture bears interest at 6% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the four previous trading days prior to and day of conversion, but not less than $0.0001. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture.

Current Plan of Operations

 

Our plan of operations is currently focused on the development of our Fleet business. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the potential operations of our business segments and ongoing internal research and development. At this time, we cannot reliably estimate the nature, timing or aggregate amount of such costs. We intend to continue to build our corporate and operational infrastructure and to build interest in our product and service offerings and as such are unable to project those costs at this time.

 

As noted above, the pivot to this plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital immediately. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of shares offered for sale in this Offering Circular we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months.

 

We continually evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to our stockholders.

 

Even if we raise additional capital in the near future, if our operating business segments fail to achieve anticipated financial results, our ability to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operating business segments would likely be seriously impaired. If in the future we are not able to demonstrate favorable financial results or projections from our operating business segments, we will not be able to raise the capital we need to continue our then current business operations and business activities, and we will likely not have sufficient liquidity or cash resources to continue operating.

 

Because our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations. At present, we have no committed external sources of capital, and do not expect any significant product revenues for the foreseeable future. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Credit Facilities

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had notes payable of $1,943,146 in convertible notes payable, other current liabilities of $482,848 and accounts payable of $107,752. Other than the foregoing, and to vendors and service providers in the ordinary course of our business, we do not have any other credit facilities or other access to bank credit.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any derivative financial instrument or other off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

OUR BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

DNA Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®, Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato.

 

Our business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”). Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation (“DNA Beverage”). Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).

 

Effective July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of the common stock of DNA Beverage’s wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”) in exchange for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance. As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to “DNA Brands, Inc.”

 

Grass Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands Inc. has been the surviving entity.

 

Our mailing address is DNA Brands, Inc., 6245 N. Federal Highway, Suite 504, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308 and our telephone number is (561) 654-5722. Our website address is, www.dnabrandsinc.com.

Business Overview

 

Although We own All the IP for our 2 time award winning Energy drink. On March 25, 2019, we announced that we were shifting our primary corporate focus to the transportation/ridesharing industry with the signing of a fleet agreement with the rideshare platform, Ridesharerental.com (http://www.Ridesharerental.com) (the “Rideshare Platform”). As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company’s operating business segments will be primarily focused on the development and maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be made commercially available for rent to rent to Uber and Lyft drivers in the South Florida Region (“Fleet Management”). Initially concentrating in the South Florida region, DNA Brands is the First fleet operator in the State of Florida with www.RideshareRentals.com and anticipates covering the whole state by years end.

 

The Company’s Fleet Management business will focus on the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles, to be subsequently rented directly to drivers in the ridesharing economy. The Fleet Management business and vehicles will be made commercially available through the Rideshare Platform, which is available at www.ridesharerental.com. The company fully intends to continue adding cars to its fleet monthly. The most significant portion of the use of proceeds of this offering will be to add additional vehicles to our Fleet Management business.

 

The Company now has four vehicles in service.

Fleet Management Business

 

The Company’s Fleet Management business will maintain a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be subsequently rented directly to drivers in the ridesharing economy through the Rideshare Platform. The Company’s fleet of vehicles, as well as other third-party vehicles will be made commercially available for rental bookings on the Rideshare Platform as well as on other third-party e-commerce booking platforms and/or through strategic partnerships and relationships. The Company will seek to provide drivers in the ridesharing economy with full-service vehicle rentals and fleet contract maintenance solutions for commercial standard passenger vehicles.

 

The Company’s material operations for the Fleet Management business will be primarily conducted solely in the State of Florida pursuant to its agreement with Ridesharerental.com. As a provider of comprehensive, integrated vehicle rental and fleet management solutions, the Fleet Management business markets and manages short and long-term vehicle rentals to ridesharing economy drivers located in southern Florida with plans to expand to the entire state within 12 months.

 

The Company will be focused on operating, developing and investing in its vehicle rental business with a focus on marketing directly to the peer-to-peer car sharing and ridesharing industry professionals. The Company will be capable of meeting customers’ needs, including but not limited to a guaranty that all vehicles maintained under the Fleet Management business will comply with and pass the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. Our Fleet Management product and service offering will include full-service vehicle rental(s) and contract maintenance, along with distribution center management and transportation management service. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company’s customer base is primarily ridesharing drivers located within Broward County that are operating and performing driving services on behalf of a host of the private ridesharing TNCs (primarily Lyft and Uber). Per our agreement with ridesharerental.com, our Fleet Management business is limited to the State of Florida. We are presently operating just in Broward county, Florida, however the Company intends to aggressively expand our Fleet Management services and product offerings to the entire state.

 

The Company believes that customers will rent vehicles offered by our Fleet Management business in order to reduce the complexity, cost and total capital associated with vehicle ownership. Further, we believe that due to our market focus on the ridesharing industry and the additional imposition of the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements imposed on ridesharing vehicles by the dominant private ridesharing TNCs, customers will be further incentivized to rent our Fleet Management vehicles to guarantee compliance with the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements.

 

Under a full-service rental agreement, the Company provides and fully maintains the vehicle, which is generally specifically configured to meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. The services provided under full-service rental and contract maintenance agreements generally include preventive and regular maintenance, advanced diagnostics, emergency road service, fleet services, and safety programs, through our company-operated facilities.

 

Fleet Management Software

 

The Company has entered into an agreement with ridesharerental.com to use its Rideshare Platform for its Fleet Management business, which we believe will ensure that the Company’s fleet of vehicles meet and comply with the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements and transmit relevant data our customers, the Company has fit its Fleet Management vehicles with fleet management GPS solution software, providing open platform fleet management solutions to businesses of all sizes. These full-featured solutions help the Company manage their drivers and vehicles by extracting accurate and actionable intelligence from real-time and historical location trip data. The telematics solutions for fleet optimization provide our Fleet Management vehicles with fitted software analytics and data involving (i) fuel efficiency; (ii) management of vehicle maintenance and (iii) prevention of vehicle wear and tear.

The Ridesharing Industry

 

At the most basic level, real-time ridesharing is a service that arranges one-time shared rides on short notice. Traditionally, ridesharing arrangements between two or more unrelated individuals for commuting purposes have been relatively inflexible, long- term arrangements. These commuting arrangements will establish reasonably fixed departure time schedules and driving responsibilities. The complexity of work and social schedules and the perceived increase in vehicle trip complexity, such as trip chaining, has made this type of commuting arrangement much less desirable. “Real-time” ridesharing attempts to provide added flexibility to ridesharing arrangements by allowing drivers and passengers to partake in occasional shared rides. The internet- connected, global positioning system (“GPS”) enabled device automatically detects your current location, takes the home location that you have programmed in previously and searches the database for drivers traveling a similar route and willing to pick up passengers. According to Wikipedia.org, “real-time” ridesharing is defined as “a single, or recurring ridesharing trip with no fixed schedule, organized on a one-time basis, with matching of participants occurring as little as a few minutes before departure or as far in advance as the evening before a trip is scheduled to take place”.

 

A number of TNCs located in San Francisco premiered apps for real-time ridesharing in early 2010, several TNCs were introduced that were advertising as ridesharing, but in fact dispatched commercial operators similar to a taxi service. Transportation industry experts have frequently referred to these services as “ridesourcing” to clarify that drivers do not share a destination with their passengers. Rather, the “ridesourcing” app simply outsources rides to available commercial drivers. In 2013 an agreement was reached with California Public Utilities Commission creating a new category of service called “Transportation Network Companies” or “TNCs” to cover both real-time and scheduled ridesharing companies. Transportation Network Companies have faced regulatory opposition in many other cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C, among others.

 

Ridesharing” has been controversial, variously criticized as lacking adequate regulation, insurance, licensure, and training. One of the main so-called ridesharing (but actually ridesourcing) firms, Uber, was banned in Berlin and a number of other European cities. Opposition may also come from taxi companies and public transit operators because they are seen as alternatives. Early real- time ridesharing projects are believed to have begun in the 1990s, but they faced obstacles such as the need to develop a user network and a convenient means of communication. Gradually the means of arranging the ride shifted from telephone to internet, email, and smartphone; and user networks were developed around major employers and universities. As of 2006, the goal of taxi-like responsiveness still generally eluded the industry; “next day” responsiveness was generally considered the state of the art.

 

The term “ridesharing” was starting to become a misnomer, they’re a lot more like successful private cab or taxi businesses that cater to a smartphone-toting clientele and actively rival traditional cab or taxi companies and having reliable and affordable door- to-door transportation in general can help expand car-free living. Given the fast rise of smartphone adoption globally, ridesharing’s success doesn’t come as a surprise. But there are many reasons why customers prefer to book those services versus taxis. Among those are a clear overview of pricing prior to booking, the ease and convenience of “one-tap” rides, the ability to monitor and follow drivers on map displayed on the user’s smartphone, the convenience of a cashless transaction, fare splitting, and feedback options. The premier and probably most well know ridesharing service, Uber, was born when its founders became annoyed that they could not get a taxi in Paris. By eliminating the antiquated taxi dispatch system through technology (call and book taxi, call to request driver’s location, call when taxi doesn’t arrive), the founders of Uber created an innovative technology alternative to the traditional taxi dispatch system that has been widely adopted by users worldwide. By eliminating a key piece of the supply chain and streamlining efficiencies for the users, Uber was able to completely disrupt a century-old taxi industry. In essence, Uber & Lyft are really the two companies that dominate the market and Uber so far has won across the board: access, driver experience, customer experience, brand and funding.

 

The growth of the ridesharing economy has resulted in increasing consumer demand for ridesharing services, provided by Transportation Network Companies (“TNCs”) such as Lyft, Gett and Uber, that offer a ridesharing economy service through mobile applications.

Ridesharing apps connect people who need a ride with people who have a vehicle and time to drive - notably, not necessarily people who are licensed taxi drivers. Ridesharing TNCs like Lyft, Gett and Uber provide a smartphone app that lets consumers hail a ride, set their destination, and pay without leaving the app itself. The benefits to the consumer is ease of use, availability of rides, and sometimes lower prices than traditional taxis. Many companies require at least some sort of certification for the drivers and take a portion of the drivers’ fares. Ridesharing drivers can choose when they work (though they can receive bonuses for logging a certain number of hours) and provide their own vehicles. In the United States, ridesharing companies argue that the work-when-you-want arrangement qualifies drivers as contractors, not employees. Despite legal battles and controversy over surge pricing, ridesharing companies have exploded in popularity, both in the U.S. and internationally. Early entrants in the TNC app space, like Uber and Flywheel, were founded around 2009. Overall, the industry has raised more than $10 billion in venture funding.

 

We believe that we have strong economic prospects by virtue of the following dynamics of the industry:

 

·Continued Growth in Ridesharing Market. The ridesharing services market has grown faster, gone to more places and has produced robust growth and consumer traffic figures since commercial introduction in approximately 2009. The pace of growth is also picking up. It has been reported that Uber took six (6) years before it reached a billion rides in December of 2015, but it took only six (6) months for Uber to get to two billion rides. In the U.S., the number of users of ridesharing services is estimated to increase from 8.2 million in 2014 to 20.4 million in 2020, producing a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 13.92% over the seven-year period.

 

·Globalization of Ridesharing. In the same vein, ridesharing which started as an experiment in California has grown into a global marketplace over a short period of time. Asia has emerged as a geographical territory to drive future growth. For example, Didi Chuang, the Chinese ridesharing company, completed 1.43 billion rides just in 2015 and it now claims to have 250 million users in 360 Chinese cities. Ridesharing is also acquiring deep roots in both India and Malaysia, and is making advances in Europe and Latin America, despite regulatory pushback.

 

·Expanding Choices. Consumer options in ridesharing are expanding to attract an even larger audience, such as carpooling and private bus services. The expansion of consumer options has also attracted mass transit customers to more expensive luxury options. In addition, it has been reported that dominant TNC businesses are experimenting with pre-scheduled rides and multiple stops on single trip gain to meet customer needs. Our Fleet Management business and fleet of rental vehicles are designed to put more certified ridesharing vehicles on the roadways to meet the increasing consumer demand of the availability of ridesharing services.

  

Regulation of the Ridesharing Industry

 

In the current ridesharing marketplace, often times the TNCs (such as Uber or Lyft) generally takes the place of government in enforcing standards for drivers and vehicles, though two (2) states and the District of Columbia now have basic driver background and minimum insurance requirements in place for TNCs. Each TNC has its own regulations at the corporate level. However, in many instances, state, local or federal governments are beginning to seriously assess the ridesharing industry and it is likely that regulations and mandated standards are imminent. For more information see section “Vehicle Registration Requirements.”

 

Our Opportunity

 

The increasing demand for ridesharing services has produced an increase in demand by TNC businesses for more ridesharing drivers and vehicles on the road at any given time. The growing demographic of ridesharing drivers, as determined on a global basis, has drawn ridesharing drivers to the ridesharing marketing to perform services for a host of private TNC businesses focused on ridesharing, such as Uber and Lyft. The Company believes that private ridesharing TNC businesses are hiring more than 50,000 drivers a month to keep pace with the current commercial demand for ridesharing services.

 

 

 

 53 
 

 

Complicating this matter further, many potential ridesharing drivers drawn to the ridesharing market are being rejected or turned away from employment by the private ridesharing TNCs on account of the fact that many potential ridesharing driver’s personal vehicles are failing to meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements imposed on all ridesharing vehicles by the private ridesharing TNCs. Private ridesharing TNCs impose certain vehicle safety tests and precautions on all ridesharing vehicles to be utilized by drivers under employment with the private ridesharing TNCs. Generally, the TNCs impose certain standard requirements on all ridesharing drivers and their respective vehicles (the “Driver Qualification Requirements”) as well as additional vehicle safety tests, inspections and precautions on all ridesharing vehicles to be utilized by drivers under employment with the private ridesharing TNCs (the “Vehicle Qualification Requirements”, together with the Driver Qualification Requirements, the “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”). For more information see “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”. The Company estimates that approximately 30%-50% of potential ridesharing drivers do not own or have rights or access to a car or vehicle that will meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. Further, the Company believes that this issue surrounding the Ridesharing Qualifications Requirements are exacerbating the problem and resulting in a shortfall of ridesharing drivers on the road at any given time. Private ridesharing TNCs have responded to this issue by actively pursuing programs to get eligible ridesharing drivers into qualified cars that meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. The Company believes that the TNC line of business and immense capital requirements in developing a fleet management business to service the growing ridesharing industry on such a large scale will restrict the ability of the private ridesharing TNCs to dominate the ridesharing vehicle rental market. Further, despite the financial resources and scale of the dominant TNCs in the ridesharing business, the Company believes that third-party vehicle rental providers are a necessity to the growth and service of a robust ridesharing market.

 

Ridesharing Qualification Requirements

 

The TNCs generally impose a host of requirements on potential ridesharing driver applicants seeking employment with TNCs such as Uber and/or Lyft. For example, prior to becoming a ridesharing driver, Uber and Lyft impose similar uniform requirements on all ridesharing vehicles and drivers. Generally, the ridesharing driver must meet the following standard requirements (collectively, the “Driver Qualification Requirements”):

 

·The ridesharing driver must obtain a minimum age of 21 years old;
·The ridesharing driver’s vehicle must be a four-door car made in year 2007 or newer (in most cities- 2002 or newer for Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco);
·The ridesharing driver must have in-state auto insurance with the driver’s name on the policy;
·The ridesharing driver must have an in-state driver’s license, licensed in the US for at least one year;
·The ridesharing driver must have in-state plates with a current registration (commercial plates are acceptable as well);
·The ridesharing driver must have a clean driving record;
·The ridesharing driver must pass on the background check;
·The ridesharing driver’s vehicle must pass the Cosmetic Qualification Requirements.

 

For example, prior to becoming an Uber driver, the company requires all potential ridesharing drivers of UberX, UberXL and UberPlus/UberSelect to meet the following vehicle requirements:

 

·Access to a four-door car that is year 2007 or newer (in most cities- 2002 or newer for Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco);
·The vehicle is in good physical condition with no cosmetic damage;
·No marketing or commercial branding is being outwardly displayed on the vehicle;
·Passing score on the vehicle inspection.

 

 

 

 54 
 

 

In addition, the TNCs may impose cosmetic guidelines on all ridesharing vehicles providing ridesharing services on behalf of the private ridesharing company. Certain cosmetic features may prevent a potential ridesharing driver’s vehicle from qualifying under the vehicle inspection on account of the following: (i) the vehicle includes a full-body wrap containing advertisements, or any large ads; (ii) the vehicle has holes or damage to the exterior; (iii) the vehicle has taxi decals or taxi-style paint; (iv) the vehicle has significant damage to the interior (including any torn seats, large permanent stains, strong permanent odors); (v) the vehicle has paint oxidation; or (vi) the vehicle has different colored hoods/doors; (vii) the vehicle has objectionable aftermarket modification (collectively, “Cosmetic Qualification Requirements”).

 

In addition to the Driver Qualification Requirements, private ridesharing companies also require all potential ridesharing drivers to undergo a vehicle inspection test on all personal driver vehicles to be used by the potential ridesharing driver to perform ridesharing services on behalf of the private ridesharing company. In order to become a Uber or Lyft driver, a potential ridesharing driver’s vehicle generally must pass the 19-point vehicle inspection to confirm that it meets the private ridesharing companies requirements (the “Vehicle Qualification Requirements”, together with the Driver Qualification Requirements, the “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”).

 

A 19-point inspection is a standard vehicle inspection procedure to check a car in 19 specific areas to ensure that it conforms to safety and operational requirements. While the 19 points are the same for different companies, their procedures differ slightly. The process also varies based on the geographical location where the inspection is performed. The 19 points of the vehicle checked for inspection include headlights, tail-lights, indicator lights, stop lights, foot brakes, emergency/parking brake, steering mechanism, windshield, heat and air conditioning, front, rear and side windows, front seat adjustment mechanism, door controls (open, close, lock), horn, speedometer, body condition/ damage, muffler and exhaust system, condition or tires, interior and exterior rear-view mirrors and safety belts for driver and passengers. Any vehicle having a problem or issue with any of the inspection points will generally not pass the vehicle inspection and will be refused the opportunity to become a ridesharing driver for the private ridesharing company.

 

Company Growth Strategy

 

Our long-term strategy is focused on four priorities: expanding and diversifying our revenues; improving our operating effectiveness; enhancing the customer experience; and disciplined capital management.

 

Expand and Diversify Revenues—Our strategy to achieve ongoing growth is driven by initiatives that expand and diversify our revenues through customer- and market-focused initiatives. We are actively working to expand our Fleet Management business, and diversify our equipment rental fleet with a broader mix of vehicles to increase in the range of customer options and markets we serve. In addition, we seek to grow our Fleet Management business which seeks to connect the owners and/or operators of standard passenger vehicles to existing or prospective ridesharing drivers. We will continue to offer a comprehensive equipment rental fleet to achieve market leadership. We plan to expand our footprint in Florida, with a focus on increasing the following:

 

(i)   the number of major geographical markets in the state served by our partner’s Rideshare Platform; (ii) the number of vehicles maintained and managed under the Company’s Fleet Management business; and (iii) to continue to reconfigure existing locations with fleet and expertise tailored to local markets. Our footprint expansion will include locations served under the Rideshare Platform and Fleet Management business to better support our growing ridesharing rental business. We will continue to pursue initiatives that allow us to drive sales through our existing locations and geographical territories.

 

Disciplined Asset Management—We manage our vehicle rental fleet to optimize the timing of fleet rentals, repairs and maintenance, while at the same time satisfying our customers' needs. Through continued use and development of our disciplined approach to efficient fleet management, we seek to maximize our utilization and return on investment.

 61 

 

 

Any holder of a share or shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock desiring to convert such Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the share or shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock so to be converted, duly endorsed to the Company, or in blank, at the principal office of the Company, and shall give written notice to the Company at said office that he elects to convert the same, and setting forth the name or names (with the address or addresses) in which the shares of Common Stock are to be issued.

 

Conversion of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to the following additional terms and provisions:

 

As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of any Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder of such Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as indicated on the Company’s stock ledger (or such other place as may be designated by the holder), to or upon the written order of the holder of such Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as such holder may direct. Shares of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock for conversion, as provided above, and the rights of the holders of such Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall cease at such time, and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time; provided, however, that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open.

 

In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine in a greater or lesser number of shares the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased in the case of subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, effective in either case at the close of business on the date when such subdivision or combination shall become effective.

 

In the event that the Company shall be recapitalized, consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, or shall sell or convey to any other corporation all or substantially all of its property as entirety, provision shall be made as part of the terms of such recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance so that any holder of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock may thereafter receive in lieu of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to him upon conversion of his Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, but at the conversion ratio stated in this subdivision (e), the same kind and amount of securities or assets as may be distributable upon such recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, with respect to the Common Stock of the Company.

In the event that the Company shall at any time pay to the holders of Common Stock a dividend in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the record date for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividend.

 

Such adjustments shall be made successively if more than one event listed in subdivisions (e)(3)(B), (C) and (D) hereof shall occur.

 

No adjustment of the conversion ratio shall be made by reason of the purchase, acquisition, redemption or retirement by the Company of any shares of the Common Stock or any other class of the capital stock of the Company, except as provided in subdivision (e)(3)(B); or the issuance, other than as provided in subdivisions (e)(3)(B) and (D), of any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or of any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or of any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or of any other securities of the Company, provided that in the event the Company offers any of its securities, or any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities, to the holders of its Common Stock pursuant to any preemptive or preferential rights granted to holders of Common Stock by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, or pursuant to any similar rights that may be granted to such holders of Common Stock by the Board of Directors of the Company, at least 20 days prior to the expiration of any such offer the Company shall mail written notice of such offer to the holders of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock then of record; or any offer by the Company to redeem or acquire shares of its Common Stock by paying or exchanging therefore stock of another corporation or the carrying out by the Company of the transactions contemplated by such offer, provided that at least 20 days prior to the expiration of any such offer the Company shall mail written notice of such offer to the holders of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock then of record.

 

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series H Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge for any tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of record of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Company the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not due and payable.

 

Redemption. The Board of Directors, at its discretion, shall be authorized to redeem any and all shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock at any time. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to redeem any and all shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock by delivering to the holders of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock a notice of redemption, and from and after the date of giving such notice (the “Redemption Date”), the shares called for redemption (each, a “Redeemed Share”) shall cease to be outstanding, shall not be transferred on the books of the Corporation, and the holder thereof shall cease to be entitled to all rights with respect to each Redeemed Share, excepting only the right to receive payment by the Corporation of the redemption price for such shares as set forth below. The redemption price for each Redeemed Share shall be ten cents ($0.10) per share (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price for each Redeemed Share shall be payable to the holder thereof in cash after the holder has surrendered the Redeemed Share to the Corporation for redemption.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., 3200 Cherry Creek Drive South, Suite 430, Denver, CO 80209, telephone 303-282-4800, www.corporatestock.com. The transfer agent is registered under the Exchange Act and operates under the regulatory authority of the SEC and FINRA.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker- dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We plan to retain any earnings for the foreseeable future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Before this Offering, there has not been a public market for shares of our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, in the public market after this Offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our Common Stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

After this Offering, we will have outstanding 147,046,361 shares of our Common Stock, assuming that all 125,000,000 shares are sold in the Offering and no exercise of outstanding options or warrants. The shares that we are selling in this Offering may be resold in the public market immediately following our initial public offering.

 

 

 

 

 

 72 
 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The shares are being offered by us on a “best-efforts” basis by our officers, directors and employees, with the assistance of independent consultants, and possibly through registered broker-dealers who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and finders.

 

There is no aggregate minimum to be raised in order for the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on a “rolling basis.” This means we will be entitled to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering expenses, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

 

We may pay selling commissions to participating broker-dealers who are members of FINRA for shares sold by them, equal to a percentage of the purchase price of the Common Stock shares. We may pay finder’s fees to persons who refer investors to us. We may also pay consulting fees to consultants who assist us with the Offering, based on invoices submitted by them for advisory services rendered. Consulting compensation, finder’s fees and brokerage commissions may be paid in cash, Common Stock or warrants to purchase our Common Stock. We may also issue shares and grant stock options or warrants to purchase our common stock to broker- dealers for sales of shares attributable to them, and to finders and consultants, and reimburse them for due diligence and marketing costs on an accountable or non-accountable basis. We have not entered into selling agreements with any broker-dealers to date, though we may engage a FINRA registered broker-dealer firm for offering administrative services. Participating broker-dealers, if any, and others may be indemnified by us with respect to this offering and the disclosures made in this Offering Circular.

 

We expect to commence the offer and sale of the Shares as of the date on which the Form 1-A Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part (the “Offering Circular”) is qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC” or the “Commission”).

 

Our Offering will expire on the first to occur of (a) the sale of all 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, (b) February 15 , 2020, subject to extension for up to one hundred-eighty (180) days in the sole discretion of the Company, or (c) when our board of directors elects to terminate the Offering.

 

Offering Period and Expiration Date

 

This Offering will start on or immediately prior to the date on which the SEC initially qualifies this Offering Statement (the “Qualification Date”) and will terminate on the Termination Date.

Company Overview and History

 

DNA Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as ''us," "our," ''we," the "Company" or "DNA " ) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®, Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato.

 

Our business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots"). Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation ("DNA Beverage"). Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).

 

Effective July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of the common stock of DNA Beverage's wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots") in exchange for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance. As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to "DNA Brands, Inc." Grass Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands Inc has been the surviving entity.

 

Effective on or about March 15 2019 the company signed a Fleet agreement with Ridesharerental.com to acquire and rent cars to Transportation Network Providers (TNP's), such as Uber and Lyft. This is the core focus of the business at this time .

Use of Estimates

  

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

  

The Company derives revenues from the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products. Revenue is recognized when all of the following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv)legal title to the products has transferred to the customer; (v) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization phase and has minimal revenue.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate market rates.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but that include embedded derivative features.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.

 

The recognition of the fair value of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company will bill its customers after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.

 

Inventory

No Inventory at present or for Fiscal year 2018

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company's management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required. The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering Inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

Company owns a fleet of cars. that it rents out

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

None at present or for fiscal year 2019

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

 

No events or changes in circumstances have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets reported at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Stock-Based Compensation for fiscal year 2017-2019

 

On or about October 18th 2017, the company issued 1,533,200,000 shares of common stock to Consultant Howard Ullman

 

On November 5th 2018, Company issued 500K, shares to Adrian McKenzie DBA PBDC LLC

2/19/19-Howard ullman - 500K Shares issued

2/19/19- PBDC LLC(Adrian McKenzie) 1 Million shares issued

4/16/19 Adrian McKenzie-80 Million shares

 

Stock compensation arrangements with non-employee service providers are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, using a fair value approach. The compensation costs of these arrangements are subject to re-measurement over the vesting terms as earned.

 

Stock Purchase Warrants

All Prior Warrants issued have expired worthless as of Dec 31 2016

  

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has recorded continual significant net losses Annually for the trailing 5 years. These matters raise a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business. Additionally the Company is working on generating new sales from additional retail outlets, distribution centers or through sponsorship agreements; and allocating sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

In accordance with ACS 810- 10-55, the Company considered its relationship with, and the terms of its interest in, Beverage LLC and determined that it was a VIE that should be consolidated into its financial statements. The Company's involvement with Beverage LLC is that it serves as an entity to obtain inventory financing for DNA.

As of December 31, 2013 and December 2012 the amounts included in the consolidated liabilities, which are reported in loans payable (before discount) total $530,000 and $-0- respectively, relating to Beverage LLC. The loans payable bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and are scheduled to be repaid to the lenders in equal installments of 66.67% of the original principal on September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014. The aggregate value of the repayment installments totals $530,000 plus interest and penalties. September and December installment payments were not made. The loan is in default and the default interest rate of 10% per annum.

 

Convertible Note Debentures

 

In February 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum and carries an annual transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company's common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In July and August 2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company's common stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

In February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures were offered by the Company's officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company's common stock.

 

On April 9, 2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY ("CMI"), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a "best efforts" basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a "best efforts" basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of$187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

 

In July 2012, the Company received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement.

The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the average share price of the Company's common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not less than $0.15. In the event that the Company offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15, the floor conversion price will adjust to the new lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debentures. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

The common shares were valued at their trading price on the date of the agreement and recorded as interest expense in the Company's results of operations. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Company Overview and History

 

DNA Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA ) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®, Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo-Berry (a refreshing mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato.

 

Our business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”).  Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution in the State of Florida.  In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation (“DNA Beverage”). Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).

 

Effective July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of the common stock of DNA Beverage’s wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”) in exchange for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance.  As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to “DNA Brands, Inc.”

 

Grass Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands Inc. has been the surviving entity.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenues from the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products. Revenue is recognized when all of the following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv) legal title to the products has transferred to the customer; (v) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization phase and has minimal to no revenue.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate market rates.

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but that include embedded derivative features.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.

 

The recognition of the fair value of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company will bill its customers after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.

 

Inventory

 

No Inventory at present or for Fiscal year 2018

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company’s management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required.

 

The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

None at present or for fiscal year 2018

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

None at present or for fiscal year 2018

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

 

No events or changes in circumstances have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets reported at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Stock-Based Compensation for fiscal year 2017 and 2018

 

On or about October 18, 2017, the Company issued 1,533,200,000 shares of common stock to Consultant Howard Ullman.

 

On November 5, 2018, Company issued 500K, shares to Adrian McKenzie DBA  PBDC LLC

 

Stock compensation arrangements with non-employee service providers are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, using a fair value approach. The compensation costs of these arrangements are subject to re-measurement over the vesting terms as earned.

 

Stock Purchase Warrants

 

All Prior Warrants issued have expired worthless as of Dec 31 2016

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has recorded continual significant net losses  Annually for the trailing 5 years. These matters raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business. Additionally the Company is working on generating new sales from additional retail outlets, distribution centers or through sponsorship agreements; and allocating sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

9. Loans payable

 

The composition of loans payable up to December 31, 2018 are as follows:

 

In June 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Beverage LLC and received gross proceeds of $265,000. In accordance with ACS 810- 10-55, the Company considered its relationship with, and the terms of its interest in, Beverage LLC and determined that it was a VIE that should be consolidated into its financial statements. The Company’s involvement with Beverage LLC is that it serves as an entity to obtain inventory financing for DNA.

 

As of  December 31, 2013 and December 2012 the amounts included in the consolidated liabilities, which are reported in loans payable  (before discount) total $530,000 and $-0- respectively, relating to Beverage LLC. The loans payable bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and are scheduled to be repaid to the lenders in equal installments of 66.67% of the original principal on September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014. The aggregate value of the repayment installments totals $530,000 plus interest and penalties.  September and December installment payments were not made. The loan is in default and the default interest rate of 10% per annum.

  

Convertible Note Debentures

 

In February 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum and carries an annual transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In July and August 2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In February 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lender 280,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

In February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures were offered by the Company’s officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company’s financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On April 9, 2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY (“CMI”), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a “best efforts” basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a “best efforts” basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of $187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

 

In July 2012, the Company received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash or the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not less than $0.15.

Company Overview and History

 

DNA Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®, Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Carmel Macchiato.

 

Our current business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots"). Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation ("DNA Beverage"). Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).

 

Effective July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of the common stock of DNA Beverage's wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots") in exchange for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance. As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to "DNA Brands, Inc."

 

Grass Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands, Inc. has been the surviving entity.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenues from the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products. Revenue is recognized when all of the following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv) legal title to the products has transferred to the customer; (v) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization phase and has minimal to no revenue.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate market rates.

Derivative Instruments

  

The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but that include embedded derivative features.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.

 

The recognition of the fair value of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

  

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company will bill its customers after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.

 

Inventory

 

No Inventory at present or for Fiscal year 2017

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company's management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required.

 

The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering Inventory.

Property and Equipment

 

None at present or for fiscal year 2017

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

None at present or for fiscal year 2017

 

Long- lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

 

No events or changes in circumstances have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets reported at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Stock-Based Compensation for fiscal year 2017

 

On or about October 18th 2017, the company issued 1,533,200,000 shares of common stock to Consultant Howard Ullman

 

Stock compensation arrangements with non-employee service providers are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, using a fair value approach. The compensation costs of these arrangements are subject to re-measurement over the vesting terms as earned.

 

Stock Purchase Warrants

 

All Prior Warrants issued have expired worthless as of Dec 31, 2016

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has recorded net losses of $318,272 and $104,273 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These matters raise a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business. Additionally, the Company is working on generating new sales from additional retail outlets, distribution centers or through sponsorship agreements; and allocating sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

The composition of loans payable up to December 31, 2017 are as follows:

 

In June 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Beverage LLC and received gross proceeds of $265,000. In accordance with ACS 810-10-55, the Company considered its relationship with, and the terms of its interest in, Beverage LLC and determined that it was a VIE that should be consolidated into its financial statements. The Company's involvement with Beverage LLC is that it serves as an entity to obtain inventory financing for DNA.

 

As of December 31, 2013 and December 2012 the amounts included in the consolidated liabilities, which arc reported in loans payable (before discount) total $530,000 and $-0- respectively, relating to Beverage LLC. The loans payable bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and are scheduled to be repaid to the lenders in equal installments of 66.67% of the original principal on September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014. The aggregate value of the repayment installments totals $530,000 plus interest and penalties. September and December installment payments were not made. The loan is in default and the default interest rate of 10% per annum.

 

Convertible Note Debentures

 

In February 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum and carries an annual transaction fee of$30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company's common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

In July and August 2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company's common stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In February 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company's common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lender 280,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

In February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures were offered by the Company's officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company's common stock.

 

On April 9, 2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY ("CMI"), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a "best efforts" basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a "best efforts" basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of $187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

 

In July 2012, the Company received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash or the Company's common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the average share price of the Company's common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not less than $0.15. In the event that the Company offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15, the floor conversion price will adjust to the new lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debentures. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

On August 7, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture does not bear interest. As an inducement, the Company agreed to issue the lender 20,000 shares of its common stock. The common shares were valued at their trading price on the date of the agreement and recorded as interest expense in the Company's results of operations. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. During the second quarter of 2013, the conversion terms of this note were modified and the note was converted into 1,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

On September 25, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture bears interest at 6% per annum, which is payable in the Company's common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the four previous trading days prior to and day of conversion, but not less than $0.0001. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. During the second quarter of 2013, the lender converted $23,000 of principal into 919,403 shares of common stock in accordance with the conversion terms of the debenture.

 

On November 1, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $80,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company's common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 70% of the average closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the 30 previous trading days prior to the day of conversion. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $56,286, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

 

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $65,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of three convertible debentures. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash at the time of maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity into 216,667 shares of the Company's common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lenders 216,667 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on February 28, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $69,455 and recorded as a discount up to the principal amount of the debentures. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, two of the debentures totaling $35,000 in principal value were converted into 316,667 shares of common stock. Some of the original conversion terms were modified prior to the notes' conversions. The remaining $30,000 debenture is in default, as its maturity date was April 25, 2013.

 

On September 17, 2013, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000.

The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the four previous trading days prior to and day of conversion, but not less than $0.0001. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.

The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section l.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") determined as provided herein (a "Conversion"): provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Notice of Conversion"), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the "Conversion Date"). The term "Conversion Amount" means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder's option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder's option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder's option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

1.2Conversion Price.

 

(a)      Calculation of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower's securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 58% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 42%). "Market Price" means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. "Trading Price" means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the "OTCBB") as reported by a reliable reporting service ("Reporting Service") designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the "pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. "Trading Day" shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

(b)      Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation 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 50% or more of the Borrower's Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the "Announcement Date"), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), 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. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section l.2(a). For purposes hereof, "Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date" shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section l .2(b) to become operative.

 

1.3      Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the "Reserved Amount"). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower's obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.4Method of Conversion.

 

(a)       Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

 

(b)      Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(c)      Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder's account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

(d)      Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the "Deadline") (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.

 

(e)       Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower's obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

(f)       Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system.

 

(g)      Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder's right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

1.5      Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule 144") or (iv) such shares are transferred to an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

"NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES."

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.6Effect of Certain Events.

 

(a)       Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. " Person" shall mean any individual , corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b)      Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section l.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (I 5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c)       Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower's shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a "Distribution"), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

(d)      Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If , at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a "DilutiveIssuance"), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options") and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(e)      Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(f)       Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustmen,t (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

 

1.7      Trading Market Limitations. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the "Maximum Share Amount"), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower's ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

 

1.8      Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder' s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder's rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower's failure to convert this Note.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date which is thirty (30) days following the Issue Date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an "Optional Prepayment Notice") shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice.

If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the "Optional Prepayment Amount") equal to 115%, 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 this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the period beginning on the date which is thirty-one (31) days following the Issue Date and ending on the date which is sixty (60) days following the Issue Date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any Optional Prepayment Notice shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (I) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall make payment of the Second Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the "Second Optional Prepayment Amount") equal to 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 this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

4.3      Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term "Note" and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

4.10    Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

  Re: DNAX - DNA BRANDS, INC.
Asher Enterprises, Inc.
Free Trading Status under Section 4(a)(1) 400,000,000 Shares

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

I have been requested to render my opinion with respect to whether the total of 400,000,000 shares of DNA BRANDS, INC. ("the Company"), referenced above, in the name of Asher Enterprises, Inc. (the "Investor") are eligible to be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to an exempted transaction as authorized by Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act ("Section 4(a)(1)"). As discussed below, it is my legal opinion that the Shares are free trading, and may be sold by the Investor pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) without restriction.

 

Summary of the Shares

 

The shares ("Shares") which are the subject of this legal opinion are the result of the Investor's partial conversion of a Promissory Note dated March 17, 2014 (the "Note") under which the Investor loaned the Company $53,000.00. The Investor presented the Notice of Conversion to the Company for the subject shares on the date hereof.

 

As discussed below, it is my legal opinion that the Shares may be sold without restriction under Section 4(a)(1), as the Investor is not now and for greater than Ninety (90) days prior to the transaction was not an Affiliate of the Company. The holding period for the Shares began on April 17, 2014, the date of the wire transfer which funded the Note, which is greater than two (2) years old.

 

For purposes of this opinion, I have been furnished with and have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of all such records of the Company, agreements, and other instruments, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, certificates of public officials and other documents as I have deemed it necessary to require as a basis for the opinions hereafter expressed.

 

Pursuant to this engagement, I have examined the following specific documents (collectively, the "Reviewed Documents") or made the following inquiries:

 

1. A copy of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 17, 2014 (the "Purchase Agreement") between the Company and the Investor under which the parties agreed to the Investor's purchase of a Convertible Promissory Note in the face amount of $53,000.00 (the "Principal Amount");

 

2. A copy of the Note under which the Company promised to pay the investor the Principal Amount together with interest;

 

3. A copy of a Disbursement Authorization dated March 17, 2014 instructing the Investor to disburse the consideration for the Note;

 

4. A copy of the wire transfer confirmations dated April 17, 2014 showing the consideration paid for the Note in conformance with the Disbursement Authorization;

 

5. A copy of a Notice of Conversion dated as of the date hereof to convert a total of $24,000.00 of principal into the subject 400,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock; and

 

6. The Company's filings available on OTCMarkets.com and SEC.gov.

 

The opinion set forth in this letter is subject to the following qualifications;

 

The opinion set forth in this letter is based solely upon my review of (i) the records of the Company including all filings, agreements or other instruments, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company or other parties and other documents as I have deemed it necessary to require as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed; (ii) the United State Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and postings on OTC Markets made by the company throughout its existence (ii) such review of published sources of law and information as I have deemed necessary based solely upon my review of the above reviewed documents. As to questions of fact material to such opinions, I have, where relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon statements and information provided by other parties, where appropriate.

 

In addition, I have investigated such other matters and examined such other documents as I have deemed necessary in connection with the rendering of this opinion. I have assumed without any inquiry or other investigation (a) the due execution and delivery of the Reviewed Documents; (b) the accuracy, when made and on the date of this letter of each statement as to any factual matter contained in all documents; and (c) the genuineness of each signature on any of the reviewed documents, the authenticity of each of the Reviewed Documents submitted to me as an original, the conformity to the original of each of the Reviewed Documents submitted to me as a copy, the authenticity of the original of each of the Reviewed Documents submitted to me as a copy and the genuineness of all representations made by or on behalf of the Company and Investor. Nothing came to my attention during the course of my investigation that led me to conclude that any of such documents were not genuine or authentic or that the facts therein were not true.

 

Discussion

 

Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act provides an exemption from registration for "transactions by any person other than an issuer, underwriter, or dealer." The following discussion considers the definitions of issuers, underwriters, and dealers and the nature of the Investor and opines on whether or not the Investor falls into any such categories.

 

Investors are not the Issuer

 

The definition of an Issuer is set forth by the Securities Act in Section 2(4):

 

The term "issuer" means every person who issues or proposes to issue any security; except that with respect to certificates of deposit, voting-trust certificates, or collateral-trust certificates, or with respect to certificates of interest or shares in an unincorporated investment trust not having a board of directors (or persons performing similar functions) or of the fixed, restricted management, or unit type, the term "issuer" means the person or persons performing the acts and assuming the duties of depositor or manager pursuant to the provisions of the trust or other agreement or instrument under which such securities are issued; except that in the case of an unincorporated association which provides by its articles for limited liability of any or all of its members thereof shall not be individually liable as issuers of any security issued by the association, trust, committee, or other legal entity; except that with respect to fractional undivided interests in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, the term "issuer" means the owner of any such right or any interest in such right (whether whole or fractional) who creates fractional interests therein for the purpose of public offering.

 

In the present case, DNA BRANDS, INC. is the issuer of the Shares and the Note. The Investor's Non-Affiliate status is acknowledged by the Company in its filings, and the Investor has otherwise represented that the Investor is not now and within the past ninety (90) days, was not an officer, director, or holder of 10% or more of the outstanding equity securities of the Issuer and does not, alone or together with any other person, exercise control over the Issuer.

 

Investor Is Not a Dealer

 

The term "dealer" is defined by Securities Act Section 2(12):

 

[A]ny person who engages either for all or part of his time, directly or indirectly, as agent, broker, or principal, in the business of offering, buying, selling, or otherwise dealing or trading in securities issued by another person.

 

Based upon my investigation, I have determined that the Investor does not engage in the business of offering, buying, selling, or otherwise dealing or trading in securities issued by another person. The Shares have been held by the Investor since April 17, 2014, the date of the wire transfer that funded the Note, which is more than two (2) years; thus the Investor is not nor was not a Dealer.

 

Investor is not an Underwriter

 

Section 2(11) of the Securities Act defines an "underwriter" as any person who has purchased from an issuer with a view to, or offers or sells for an issuer in connection with, the distribution of any security, or participates or has a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or participates or has a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking.

 

The Court in Ackerberg v. Johnson 892 F.2d 1328 (1989) noted that:

 

"That is, the definition of an underwriter, found in Section (2)(11), 15 U.S.C. Section 77b(11)(1988), depends on the existence of a distribution, which in turn, is considered the equivalent of a public offering. Section 4(2) contains the exemption for transaction not involving a public offering. Any analysis of whether a party is an underwriter for purposes of Section 4(1) necessarily entails an inquiry into whether the transaction involves a public offering."

 

Thus without the existence of distribution, a public offering, one cannot be a underwriter.

 

Issuer's Offering is Non-Public

 

Section 4(2), applicable to issuers, exempts from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, "transaction(s) by an issuer not involving a public offering." In the determination of whether or not the Original Issuance is a "public offering", I rely upon the factors set out by SEC v. Ralston Purina Co., 346 U.S. 119 (1953) and its progeny, namely, Doran v. Petroleum Management Corp., 545 F.2d 893, 900 (5th Cir. 1977) and Hill York Corp. v. American Int'l Franchises, Inc. 448 F.2d 680, 687-689 (5th Or. 1971), and Securities Act Release No. 4552 (November 6, 1962). Those cases and releases set out relevant factors in determining whether an offering is public or private, including a) the number of offerees and their relationship to each other and to the issuer, b) the number of units offered, c) the size of the offering, and d) the manner of the offering. I also rely on the factors set out in Cook v. Avien, Inc. 573 F.2d 685, 691 (1st Cir. 1978), wherein the Court held that sales may be exempted if a private offering is made in which the purchasers 1) are limited in number, 2) are sophisticated, 3) have a relationship with the issuer enabling them to command access to information that would otherwise be contained in a registration statement.

 

The Company's issuance of the Note to the Investor was a single party transaction not involving any public offering and therefore an exempt transaction under the Securities Act.

 

This conclusion is based on several factors. First, such issuance did not involve any general solicitation or advertising and included no other parties except the Company and the Investor. Second, the above referenced Shares can be traced directly to the Note. With the benefit of tacking, the Investor has held the Note/Shares for greater two (2) years. Third, the Investor was and is a sophisticated investor. Finally, the number of securities involved was and is a relatively small percentage of the total number of the Company's shares issued and outstanding at the time. These factors, in light of one another and as a whole, lead me to conclude and opine that the Original Issuance of the securities was a nonpublic transaction and did not amount to a public offering.

 

Acquisition from Issuer with a View to Distribution

 

The second prong of analysis focuses on whether the Investor acquired the securities from the issuer with a view to engage in a "distribution." A key factor used in the determination of whether or not the Investor acquired the Securities with a view to engage in a distribution is the determination of whether or not the Securities have "come to rest" with that Investor, rather than the factual determination that such Investor is merely a conduit through which the issuer is making a public offering. A key factor in this determination is the timeframe in which the Investor has held the securities.

 

This factor and its relevancy was highlighted in Ackerberg v. Johnson, 892 F.2d 1328 (8th Cir. 1989) when the Court there stated:

 

"We begin by considering whether the securities were acquired by Johnson with a view to their distribution...While this determination would at first seem to be a fact-specific inquiry into the security holder's subjective intent at the time of acquisition, the courts have considered the more objective criterion of whether the securities have come to rest. That is, the courts look to whether the security holder has held the securities long enough to negate any inference that his intention at the time of acquisition was to distribute them to the public."

 

The Court then went on to define when the securities had been held long enough to negate the inference of a distribution by citing United States v. Sherwood, 175 F.Supp. 480, 483 (S.D.N.Y 1959): "The passage of two years before the commencement of distribution of any of these shares with a view to distribution thereof." The Ackerberg court also highlighted the two year holding period under the then Rule 14 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Rule 144") and stated "Many courts have accepted a two-year rule of thumb to determine whether the securities have came to rest...This two-year rule has been incorporated by the SEC into Rule 144, which provides a safe harbor for persons selling restricted securities acquired in a private placement."

 

As to the second prong of analysis, the securities in our matter came to rest for more two (2) years. As reasoned by the Ackerman court, the time element in Rule 144 safe harbor provides some guidance into the determination of whether or not the Securities have "come to rest."

 

Here the Issuer is not reporting with the SEC and is now classified as a Pink Current Information on www.otcmarkets.com. The fact that the Investor has held the securities for a period of more two (2) years and the fact that the securities had accordingly come to rest in the control of the Investor provides ample evidence that the securities were held for the Investor's own account and that the securities were not acquired from the Issuer "with a view to" engage in a "distribution." Therefore, 1) where the Issuer's offering of securities was a nonpublic transaction, and 2) where the issuance to the Investor was a separate, and nonpublic transaction and 3) where the Investor has been holding the securities for its own account, and has held those securities for more two (2) years, the Investor should not be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on my examination of the above described documents and relevant law and subject to the limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that the Investor is not an issuer, underwriter, or dealer and, therefore, the sate of the Shares is exempt under Securities Act Section 4(a)(1). Based upon the foregoing, the Securities are free trading, and may be sold by the Investor pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) without restriction.

 

This opinion is given without regard to any change after the date of this letter with respect to any factual or legal matter, and I disclaim and obligation to notify you concerning any such change.

 

This opinion may be relied upon by the Transfer Agent for the issuer for the sole and express purpose of registering transfer of the Shares on behalf of the Investors in accordance Section 4(a)(1), a broker dealer who accepts this resulting Shares for deposit, and any clearing agent that is holding the Shares for the investors. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other party for any other purpose and may not be reproduced or distributed (except to governmental or regulatory agencies as required by regulation or law) without the prior written permission of named counsel.

 

In the event the SEC subsequently advises the parties hereto that it believes the Shares covered by this opinion may not be sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) as described herein, then this opinion letter shall be void as it relates to any sale of such Shares that are made after the date of receipt of such notice. I am admitted to practice law in the State and Federal Courts of New York. The opinions expressed above are limited to the Federal Laws of the United States of America and no opinion is provided regarding any federal or state law not specifically referenced herein.

 

The opinions set forth herein are expressed as of the date hereof and remain valid so long as the documents, instruments, records and certificates I have examined and relied upon as noted above are unchanged and the assumptions I have made, as noted above, are valid. If any facts or documents are determined to be incorrect, misstated, or misrepresented, then the opinion or opinions expressed herein may not continue to be valid. This opinion is based expressly on the facts stated herein, and may not be relied upon in the event that other facts, not presently known to me, come to light. Opinion letters of counsel are not binding upon the SEC or the Courts, and to the extent that persons relying upon this letter may have knowledge of facts and circumstances that are contrary to those upon which this opinion is based, this opinion would not be applicable. Furthermore, the opinions herein are rendered as of the date hereof, and I disclaim any undertaking to advise you hereafter of developments hereafter occurring or coming to my attention, whether or not the same would (if now existing and known to this office) cause any change or modification herein.

The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 80 S. W. 8th Street, Suite 2000, Miami, FL 33130, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.       This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith.

 

 

 

 

 1

 
 

 

2.                  The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

 

3.                  This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.

 

4.                  (a)     The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the requisite rule 144 holding period, and after full cash payment for the shares convertible hereunder, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") without restrictive legend of any nature, at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 60% of the lowest lowest closing bid price price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company's shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for any of the ten prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to included the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Once the Holder has received such shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to convert this Note or a specified portion hereof, and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 50% instead of 60% while that “Chill” is n effect.

 

(b)       Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 8% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares"). The Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

(c)                The Company shall have the option to redeem this Note and pay to the Holder 150% of the unpaid principal and accrued interest amount due under this note, in full. The redemption must be closed and paid for within 3 business days of the Company sending the redemption demand or the redemption will be invalid and the Company may not redeem this Note.

 

(d)               Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 1218 Union Street, Suite #2, Brooklyn, NY 11225, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.       This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith.

 

2.               The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

 

3.               This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded.

In the event the Company experiences a DTC "Chill" on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 50% instead of 60% while that "Chill" is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company.

Exhibit 6.13

 

THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS NOTE IS CONVERTIBLE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THIS CONVERTIBLE NOTE, THE SECURITIES AND ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS, WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE LENDER, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THIS CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount: $106,632.70 February 1, 2016

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DNA Brands, Inc., a Colorado corporation (referred to herein as the “Borrower” or the “Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Melvin Leiner, his endorsees, heirs and personal representatives, successors and assigns (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States, at such address as the Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of One Hundred Six Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Two 70/100 Dollars ($106,632.70) (the “Principal Amount”). Payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued interest shall be due and payable on or before January 28, 2017, whether by acceleration or otherwise, unless this Note is converted by the Lender as provided below herein.

 

1. Accrual of Interest. Interest on all unpaid principal on this Note shall accrue at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year.

 

2. Conversion.

 

2.1       Conversion Right. The Lender shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period commencing 180 days from January 28, 2016 (the “Issue Date”) and ending the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the remaining outstanding principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, under no circumstances shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the Borrower’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such provision; provided further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, with not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Lender in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

2.2 Conversion Price.

 

(a)               Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 40% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 60%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Lender to the Borrower via facsimile (the “Conversion Date”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the intraday trading price the intraday trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no intraday trading price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the intraday trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the principal trading market of the Company’s common stock shall be traded as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Borrower and Lender. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Lender in good faith, or if no agreement can be reached, then the Market Price shall be the price in which the Borrower last issued such security. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the “pink sheets”), or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. Except as otherwise provided, the Note may not be prepaid by the Company.

 

2.3 Anti-Dilution Provisions; Adjustments for Stock Dividends; Combinations, Etc. In the event that the Company, at any time or from time to time hereafter, shall (i) declare any dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock of the Company or in securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, including without limitation rights; (ii) effect a subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock; (iii) effect a combination or consolidation of its outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock by reclassification, reverse split or otherwise; (iv) issue by reclassification, exchange or substitution of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company; or (v) effect any other transaction having similar effect, then the Lender may convert into the exchangeable securities. The purpose of the adjustment shall be that, in the event of a conversion at any time after the occurrence of any event described in (i) through (v) above, the Lender shall be entitled to receive the shares of Conversion Stock (or other securities) to which such Lender would have been finally entitled, after giving effect to the occurrence of such event, as if such Lender had converted this Note immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately upon the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution. The Corporation shall take no such action with respect to the Common Stock unless the Corporation shall simultaneously reserve out of the authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of common stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to be available for full conversion of the Notes at the new Conversion Price. The Borrower shall promptly provide the Lender of this Note with notice of any events mandating an adjustment to the conversion ratio, or for any planned merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of the Borrower, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Borrower.

 

2.4 Additional Provisions of Conversion.

 

(a)               Surrender of Note Not Required. The Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower upon any conversion hereunder unless the full outstanding Principal Amount represented by this Note is being converted or repaid. The Lender and Borrower shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment. To exercise any conversion, the Lender of this Note shall submit a written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, Notice of Conversion, and made a part hereof.

(b)               Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion of this Note by the Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender, certificates for the full number of Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note, in accordance with the provisions hereof, within Five (5) business days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion and in no event after Ten (10) business days after such receipt (hereinafter referred to as the “Deadline”). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that this Note was surrendered for conversion and the notice specified herein shall have been received by the Borrower as long as it is received by 6 pm eastern time. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Note, all rights with respect to the portion of the Note so being converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the common stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as provided herein on such conversion. If the Lender has given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for common stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Lender to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the Lender of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Lender of any obligation to the Borrower; and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Lender in connection with such conversion. The Borrower’s signature shall not be required for a conversion under this Note to be effective.

Exhibit 6.14

 

THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS NOTE IS CONVERTIBLE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THIS CONVERTIBLE NOTE, THE SECURITIES AND ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS, WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE LENDER, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THIS CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount: $70,500.00 February 1, 2016

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DNA Brands, Inc., a Colorado corporation (referred to herein as the “Borrower” or the “Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Darren Marks, his endorsees, heirs and personal representatives (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States, at such address as the Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of Seventy Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($70,500.00) (the “Principal Amount”). Payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued interest shall be due and payable on or before January 28, 2017, whether by acceleration or otherwise, unless this Note is converted by the Lender as provided below herein.

 

1. Accrual of Interest. Interest on all unpaid principal on this Note shall accrue at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year.

 

2. Conversion.

 

2.1       Conversion Right. The Lender shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period commencing 180 days from January 28, 2016 (the “Issue Date”) and ending the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the remaining outstanding principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, under no circumstances shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the Borrower’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such provision; provided further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, with not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Lender in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

2.2 Conversion Price.

 

(a)               Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 40% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 60%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Lender to the Borrower via facsimile (the “Conversion Date”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the intraday trading price the intraday trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no intraday trading price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the intraday trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the principal trading market of the Company’s common stock shall be traded as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Borrower and Lender. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Lender in good faith, or if no agreement can be reached, then the Market Price shall be the price in which the Borrower last issued such security. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the “pink sheets”), or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. Except as otherwise provided, the Note may not be prepaid by the Company.

 

2.3 Anti-Dilution Provisions; Adjustments for Stock Dividends; Combinations, Etc. In the event that the Company, at any time or from time to time hereafter, shall (i) declare any dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock of the Company or in securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, including without limitation rights; (ii) effect a subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock; (iii) effect a combination or consolidation of its outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock by reclassification, reverse split or otherwise; (iv) issue by reclassification, exchange or substitution of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company; or (v) effect any other transaction having similar effect, then the Lender may convert into the exchangeable securities. The purpose of the adjustment shall be that, in the event of a conversion at any time after the occurrence of any event described in (i) through (v) above, the Lender shall be entitled to receive the shares of Conversion Stock (or other securities) to which such Lender would have been finally entitled, after giving effect to the occurrence of such event, as if such Lender had converted this Note immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately upon the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution. The Corporation shall take no such action with respect to the Common Stock unless the Corporation shall simultaneously reserve out of the authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of common stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to be available for full conversion of the Notes at the new Conversion Price. The Borrower shall promptly provide the Lender of this Note with notice of any events mandating an adjustment to the conversion ratio, or for any planned merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of the Borrower, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Borrower.

 

2.4 Additional Provisions of Conversion.

 

(a)               Surrender of Note Not Required. The Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower upon any conversion hereunder unless the full outstanding Principal Amount represented by this Note is being converted or repaid. The Lender and Borrower shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment. To exercise any conversion, the Lender of this Note shall submit a written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Notice of Conversion, and made a part hereof.

Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that this Note was surrendered for conversion and the notice specified herein shall have been received by the Borrower as long as it is received by 6 pm eastern time. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Note, all rights with respect to the portion of the Note so being converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the common stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as provided herein on such conversion. If the Lender has given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for common stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Lender to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the Lender of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Lender of any obligation to the Borrower; and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Lender in connection with such conversion.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount: $30,000.00 February 1, 2016

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DNA Brands, Inc., a Colorado corporation (referred to herein as the “Borrower” or the “Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Andrew I. Telsey, his heir, personal representatives,, successors and assigns (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States, at such address as the Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”).

2. Conversion.

 

(a)The Lender shall have the right to convert at any time or from time to time, beginning 365 days after the execution of the Note any or all of the outstanding balance of this Note into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Borrower’s Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at Forty Percent (40%) discount to the “Fair Market Value” (the “Conversion Rate”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DNA Brands Inc a Colorado corporation (referred to herein as the "Borrower", DNAX or the "Company"), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of                      Mr. Kerry Goodman                      , its endorsees, successors and assigns (the "Lender"), in lawful money of the United States, at such address as the Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of         One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100K)         (the "Principal Amount"). This Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") payable on December 15, 2018.

 

1.   Terms of Repayment. Principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid by the Borrower as follows:

 

(a)      Company agrees to convert the principal balance and interest into common stock

(b)      No Prepayment penalty

 

2.   Conversion.

 

  (a) The Lender shall have the right to convert at any time or from time to time, beginning 365 days (or one full calendar year) after the execution of the Note any or all of the outstanding balance of this Note into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Borrower's Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares") at a 45% Discount to the 20 day conversion (the "Conversion Rate"). unless amended by the company. "Fair Market Value" on a date shall be the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of the last Five (20) trading days. In no case shall the Conversion Price be less than ($0.00005).

(b)In no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than Four Point Nine Percent (4.9%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Regulations 13D-G there under, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso.

 

(c)Surrender of Note Not Required. The Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower upon any conversion hereunder unless the full outstanding Principal Amount represented by this Note is being converted or repaid. The Lender and Borrower shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment. To exercise any conversion, the holder of this Note shall submit a written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Notice of Conversion, and made a part hereof.

 

(d)Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion of this Note by the Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender, certificates for the full number of Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note, in accordance with the provisions hereof, within Five (5) business days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion and in no event after Ten (10) business days after such receipt (hereinafter referred to as the "Deadline"). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that this Note was surrendered for conversion and the notice specified herein shall have been received by the Borrower as long as it is received by 6 pm eastern time. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Note, all rights with respect to the portion of the Note so being converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the common stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as provided herein on such conversion. If the Lender has given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower's obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for common stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Lender to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Lender of any obligation to the Borrower; and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Lender in connection with such conversion. The Borrower's signature shall not be required for a conversion under this Note to be effective.

  (e) The number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note or repayment by the Borrower in shares shall be proportionately adjusted if the Borrower shall declare a dividend of capital stock on its capital stock, or subdivide its outstanding capital stock into a larger number of shares by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, which adjustment shall be made effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision. The number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note or any part thereof shall be proportionately adjusted in the amount of securities for which the shares have been changed or exchanged in another transaction for other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other combination. The Borrower shall promptly provide the holder of this Note with notice of any events mandating an adjustment to the conversion ratio, or for any planned merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of the Borrower, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Borrower.

Corporate Stock Transfer

 

Attention: Transfer Department

Denver, CO 80209

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

DNA BRANDS, INC., a Colorado corporation (the "Company") issued a convertible note to ASHER ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation, in the principal amount of $53,000.00 dated as of March 17, 2014 (the "Note") which was assigned to Jabro Funding Corp. (the "Investor"), a New York corporation pursuant to an assignment agreement dated September 13, 2018 (the "Agreement").

 

A copy of the Note and the Agreement is attached hereto. You should familiarize yourself with your issuance and delivery obligations, as Transfer Agent, contained herein. The shares to be issued are to be registered in the name of the registered holder of the securities submitted for conversion or exercise.

 

You are hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to reserve 300,000,000 shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of the Company for issuance upon full conversion of the Note. The amount of Common Stock so reserved may be increased, from time to time, by written instructions of the Company or the Investor so long as there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of the Company not otherwise reserved available to do so.

 

So long as you have previously received confirmation from the Company (or Investor's counsel) that the shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction, and the Company or its counsel or Investor's counsel provides an opinion of counsel to that effect in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (and satisfactory to the transfer agent), together with other documentation that may reasonably be requested, and the number of shares to be issued are less than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, such shares should be issued either (i) electronically by crediting the account of a Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal Agent Commission system, provided that the Company has been made FAST/DRS eligible by DTCC (DWAC), or (ii) in certificated form without any legend which would restrict the transfer of the shares, and you should remove all stop-transfer instructions relating to such shares (such shares shall be issued from the reserve, but in the event there are insufficient reserve shares of Common Stock to accommodate a Conversion Notice, your firm and the Company agree that the Conversion Notice should be completed using authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that the Company has in its treasury that are not otherwise reserved). CST is not responsible for the accuracy set forth in the Notice of Conversion. Until such time as you are advised by Investor or Company counsel as above that the shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction, you are hereby instructed to place the following legend on the certificates:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

 

The Company hereby requests that your firm act promptly, without unreasonable delay and without the need for any action or confirmation by the Company with respect to the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any Conversion Notices received from the Investor.

 

The Company shall indemnify you and your officers, directors, principals, partners, agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its attorneys) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in connection with the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, including claims that may be asserted by the Company, except that the Company shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is determined that you have acted with gross negligence or in bad faith. You shall have no liability to the Company in respect to any action taken or any failure to act in respect of this if such action was taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, and you shall be entitled to rely in this regard on the advice of counsel.

 

 

 

 6 

 

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the foregoing (irrevocable instructions) and does hereby extend the Company's irrevocable agreement to indemnify your firm for all loss, liability or expense in carrying out the authority and direction herein contained on the terms herein set forth.

 

All processing fees will be expected and payable upon receipt of the request from the presenter of such request. The Company and Investor understand and agree that Corporate Stock Transfer's fee schedule is subject to change and the Investor and the Company agree to pay the full amount of any such conversion according to the Corporate Stock Transfer fee schedule then in force. Corporate Stock Transfer shall not be obligated to process any request until and unless its fees are paid. Further, the Company and Investor understand and acknowledge that in the event that the Company is delinquent in payment of fees due Corporate Stock Transfer in an amount less than $1,500, Corporate Stock Transfer

 

will honor conversion requests with the additional payment of $200.00 per request. In the event that the Company is suspended with Corporate Stock Transfer due to non-payment with an account balance owing in excess of $2,500, Investor or Company will be required to bring the account balance current before any transactions will be processed.

 

The Company agrees that the Transfer Agent may resign as the Company's transfer agent. In that event, or in the event that the company terminates the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent reserves the right to and may complete any issuance or transfer requests then pending. The Company shall engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will agree to serve as transfer agent for the Company and be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Instructions within five (5) business days. In the event that the Company decides to terminate Corporate Stock Transfer, 30 days' notice of termination must be given and a fee of $350/irrevocable instruction letter must be paid prior to termination.

 

The Company hereby authorizes the issuance of such number of shares as will be necessary to fully convert the Note under its terms and any such shares shall be considered fully paid and non-assessable at the time of their issuance. The Company and the Investor agree that the Transfer Agent will be notified in writing by the Company and the Investor when the Note has been fully converted and if there are any remaining shares in the reservation that are to be released and returned to the Company's Authorized shares.

 

The Investor and Company expressly understand and agree that nothing in this Irrevocable Transfer Instruction Agreement shall require or be construed in any way to require Corporate Stock Transfer, in its sole discretion, to do, take or not do or take any action that would be contrary to any court order, any Federal or State law, rule, or regulation including but expressly not limited to both the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the transfer agent agreement with the Company.

 

The Transfer Agent is not responsible for determining the accuracy of any conversion notice and may rely on any instructions presented to it consistent with this letter.

DNA Brands Inc.
$23,500 Convertible Promissory Note
8.75% CONVERTIBLE NOTE
DATED March 31, 2019

 

Due: March 31, 2020

 

THIS NOTE (the “Note”) is a duly authorized Convertible Note of DNA Brands Inc. a Colorado Corp (the “Company”).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED in the amount of $23,500 (Twenty Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars USD), the Company promises to pay PBDC LLC or Adrian McKenzie (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $23,500, (Twenty Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars USD), pursuant to the redemption schedule outlined in Section 9 below (the “Principal Amount”). As backpay for salaries owed for the 1st Quarter 2019, in the amount of $23,500, (Twenty Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars USD) (the “monies owed”) is due on March 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount (“Interest”) in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate of twelve percent (8.75%) per Annum (the “Rate”) from the date of issuance.

 

1) Accrual of Interest shall commence on the date of this Note at the Rate, and continue until the Company repays in full the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued but unpaid Interest. Upon an Event of Default, the Rate shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8. The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is payable on the Maturity Date in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Company will pay the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

2)All payments on account of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”).

 

3)The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the issuance of this Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lessor of (a) seventy five percent (75%) of the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock on the date of this Note or (b) fifty percent (50%) (“Discount”) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery by Holder to Company of the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by delivering a conversion notice, the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit B (“Conversion Notice”), executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert the Note. The Company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock in respect of the Note, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion, transfer agent fees, equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Holder’s option, any accrued costs paid by Holder may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

Share Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, and prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock for consideration per share that is less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issuance price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock, or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above described security, debt instrument, warrant, right or option, and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase right if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to all other rights of the Holder of this Note.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares or script representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission, email, or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer. At the Maturity Date, subject to Section 13 below, the Company will pay any unconverted outstanding Principal Amount and accrued Interest thereon, at the option of the Holder, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.

 

Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $100 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by such Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

 

4)No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

 

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pari passu with the Note in all respects.

 

 

 

 2 

 

 

5)If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.

 

6)This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of FLorida .. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts of the State of Florida residing in Broward County in connection with any dispute arising under this Note, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

 

7)The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

 

a.The Company shall default in the payment of principal and interest on this Note and same shall continue for a period of five (5) days; or

 

b.Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

d.The Company fails to authorize or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Note and when required by this Note, and such transfer is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or fails to cause its Transfer Agent to remove such restricted legend, in each case where such removal is lawful, as and when required by this Note, the Agreement, and any such failure shall continue uncured for five (5) business days; or

 

e.The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

k.The Company effects, or attempts to effect, a reorganization similar in structure to that provided in Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the Issuer’s state of Incorporation.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

 

8)If one or more of the “Events of Default” as described above shall occur, then (a) the Rate shall increase to nine and a half percent (9.5%), and (b) the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note.

 

9)Redemption. At any time while the Note remains outstanding, upon three (3) business days’ written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, the Company may redeem this Note by making payment by wire transfer to Holder as follows: (i) if redemption payment is made within 60 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 100% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; (ii) if redemption payment is made within 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 110% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; if redemption payment is made after 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 120% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest.

  at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the three (3) times outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

 

11)Upon receipt by the Company of evidence from the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note,

b.(ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, then the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note, dated the date of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, and evidencing the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

12)Reservation of Shares. Company shall instruct its transfer agent to reserve at least Five million (5 Million ) shares of its Common Stock for issuance to Holder in connection with conversion of this Note, and shall provide Holder with a copy of such instruction letter.

 

13)The Holder may not convert this Note to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company.

 

14)Maximum Rate. All provisions herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

Principal Amount: $150,000.00 Issue Date: April 3, 2019

Maturity Date: April 3, 2020

 

For good and valuable consideration, DNA Brands, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Maker”), hereby makes and delivers this Promissory Note (this “Note”) in favor of GPL Ventures LLC, or its assigns (“Holder”), and hereby agrees as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.

PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST

 

Section 1.1 For value received, Maker promises to pay to Holder at such place as Holder or its assigns may designate in writing, in currently available funds of the United States, the principal Amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). Maker’s obligation under this Note shall accrue interest at the rate of Five percent (5.0%) per annum from the date hereof until paid in full. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable, and actual days lapsed. Accrual of interest shall commence on the first business day to occur after the Issue Date and continue until payment in full of the Principal Amount has been made or duly provided for.

 

Section 1.2

a.                   All payments shall be applied first to interest, then to principal and shall be credited to the Maker's account on the date that such payment is physically received by the Holder.

 

b.                  All principal and accrued interest then outstanding shall be due and payable by the Maker to the Holder on or before April 3, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

c.                   Maker shall have no right to prepay all or any part of the principal under this Note.

 

d.                  This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Maker and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

 

 

 

 

 1

 
 

 

Section 1.3 This Note is issued solely for value received, paid by Holder to Maker by wire (“Consideration”). The Principal Amount due to Holder shall be prorated based on the consideration actually paid by Holder to Maker, such that the Maker is only required to repay the amount of consideration and the Maker is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note.

 

ARTICLE II.

CONVERSION RIGHTS; CONVERSION PRICE

 

Section 2.1. Conversion. The Holder or its assigns shall have the right, from time to time, commencing on the Issuance Date of this Note, to convert any part of the outstanding interest or Principal Amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Maker (the “Notice Shares”) at the Conversion Price determined as provided herein. Promptly after delivery to Maker of a Notice of Conversion of Convertible Note in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 1, or any other form provided by the Holder, properly completed and duly executed by the Holder or its assigns (a “Conversion Notice”), the Maker shall issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock for the that portion of this Note to be converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith.

 

No fraction of a share or scrip representing a fraction of a share will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which Notice of Conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes, mails or emails the Notice of Conversion duly executed to the Maker. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered to the Holder within two (2) trading days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Maker. Delivery of shares upon conversion shall be made to the address specified by the Holder or its assigns in the Notice of Conversion.

 

Section 2.2. Conversion Price. Upon any conversion of this Note, the Conversion Price shall be equal to the lesser of a) .001 or b) Fifty Percent (50%) (“Conversion Price Discount”) of the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) during the twenty Trading Days (defined below) prior to the day the Holder requests Conversion, and the Conversion Amount shall be the amount of principal or interest electively converted in the Conversion Notice. The total number of shares due under any conversion notice (“Notice Shares”) will be equal to the Conversion Amount divided by the Conversion Price.

 

“Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, any trading price on the OTC Bulletin Board, or other applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Maker and Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded. “Trading Day” shall mean any business day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The Conversion Price Discount is adjustable for the following conditions:(i) the Maker experiences DTC “Chill” on its shares, (ii) the Maker’s stock is NOT DWAC/FAST eligible, (iii) if the Maker is not an SEC Reporting Issuer, or (iv) the Maker has a “Yield” or “Stop” Sign on OTC Markets at the time the Holder elects to convert the Note (collectively, the “Conditions”). If any of these Conditions are present, the Conversion Price Discount shall have 7 percentage points subtracted from it for each Condition.

Section 2.3. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Maker shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Maker is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Maker), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Maker, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Maker, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Maker) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Note to be performed and observed by the Maker and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Maker) in order to provide for adjustments of the number of shares of common stock into which this Note is convertible which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2.3(a). For purposes of this Section 2.3(a), “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(a) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

 

Section 2.4. Restrictions on Securities. This Note has been issued by the Maker pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). None of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) they first shall have been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) the Maker shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel (in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to Maker) to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that have not been so registered and that have not been sold pursuant to an exemption that permits removal of the applicable legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

 

 

 

 

 3

 
 

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”). THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR SUCH OFFERS, SALES AND TRANSFERS ARE MADE PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.

 

Upon the request of a holder of a certificate representing any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Maker shall remove the foregoing legend from the certificate or issue to such Holder a new certificate free of any transfer legend, if (a) with such request, the Maker shall have received an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Maker in form, substance and scope, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such certificate or (b) a registration statement under the Act covering such securities is in effect.

 

Section 2.5. Reservation of Common Stock.

 

(a)                The Maker covenants that during the period the Note is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock of the Maker upon the Conversion of the Note. The Maker further covenants that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Maker issuable upon the conversion of this Note. The Maker will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the OTC Bulletin Board (or such other principal market upon which the Common Stock of the Maker may be listed or quoted).

 

(b)               The Maker shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Maker will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note above the amount payable therefor upon such conversion immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Maker to perform its obligations under this Note.

 

 

 

 

 

 4

 
 

 

(c)                Upon the request of Holder, the Maker will at any time during the period this Note is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to Holder, the continuing validity of this Note and the obligations of the Maker hereunder.

 

(d)               Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the current Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Maker shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

 

(e)                Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible or in the Conversion Price, the Maker shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(f)                If at any time the Maker does not have a sufficient number of authorized and available shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Note, then the Maker shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within forty-five (45) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

Section 2.6. Maximum Conversion.

 

The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Notes in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the Amount of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on Conversation Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

A copy of the Notes is attached hereto. You should familiarize yourself with your issuance and delivery obligations, as Transfer Agent, contained therein. The shares to be issued are to be registered in the names of the registered holder of the securities submitted for conversion or exercise.

 

You are hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to reserve a sufficient number of shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company (initially, 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock for the subject Notes) for issuance upon full conversion of the convertible promissory notes referenced herein in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

The ability to convert the Notes in a timely manner is a material obligation of the Company pursuant to the Agreement and the Notes. Your firm is hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to issue shares of Common Stock of the Company (without any restrictive legend) to the Investor without any further action or confirmation by the Company (from the Company’s authorized but unissued treasury shares, but in the event there are insufficient treasury shares of Common Stock to accommodate a Conversion Notice (defined below) your firm and the Company agree that the Conversion Notice should be completed using of Common Stock that the Company has reserved for the Investor) by either (i) electronically by crediting the account of a Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, provided that the Company has been made FAST/DRS eligible by DTCC (DWAC), or (ii) in certificated form without any legend which would restrict the transfer of the shares, and you should remove all stop-transfer instructions relating to such shares: (A) upon your receipt from the Investor dated within 90 days from the date of the issuance or transfer request, of: (i) a notice of conversion ("Conversion Notice") executed by the Investor (for either the initial share issuance or subsequent share issuances, including those pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Note); and (ii) an opinion of counsel of the Investor, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (and satisfactory to the transfer agent), to the effect that the shares of Common Stock of the Company issued to the Investor pursuant to the Conversion Notice are not "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 and should be issued to the Investor without any restrictive legend; and (B) the number of shares to be issued is less than 9.99% of the total issued common stock of the Company.

 

The Company hereby requests that your firm act immediately, without delay and without the need for any action or confirmation by the Company with respect to the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any Conversion Notices received from the Investor (for either the initial share issuance or subsequent share issuances, including those pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Note). Additionally, the Company hereby requests that upon the Investor's request, your firm provide them with the share structure of the Company, including issued and outstanding, authorized, and public float.

The Investor and the Company understands that Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc. shall not be required to perform any issuances or transfers of shares if (a) the Company or request violates, or be in violation of, any terms of the Transfer Agent Agreement, (b) such an issuance or transfer of shares be in violation of any state or federal securities laws or regulation or (c) the issuance or transfer of shares be prohibited or stopped as required or directed by a court order

 

The Company shall indemnify you and your officers, directors, principals, partners, agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its attorneys) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in connection the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, except that the Company shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is determined that you have acted with gross negligence or in bad faith. You shall have no liability to the Company in respect to any action taken or any failure to act in respect of this if such action was taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, and you shall be entitled to rely in this regard on the advice of counsel.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the foregoing irrevocable instructions and does hereby extend the Company's irrevocable agreement to indemnify your firm for all loss, liability or expense in carrying out the authority and direction herein contained on the terms herein set forth.

 

The Company agrees that in the event that the Transfer Agent resigns as the Company's transfer agent, the Company shall engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will agree to serve as transfer agent for the Company and be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Instructions within five {5) business days. The Investor and the Company agree that the Transfer Agent shall not be required to perform any issuances or transfers of shares as of the date of the termination of the transfer agreement. The Company may not terminate the Transfer Agent as the Company's Transfer Agent without express written consent of the Investor.

 

The Investor is intended to be and are third party beneficiaries hereof, and no amendment or modification to the instructions set forth herein may be made without the consent of the Investor.

 

Very truly yours,

Maker’s obligation under this Note shall accrue interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date hereof until paid in full.

b.                  All principal and accrued interest then outstanding shall be due and payable by the Maker to the Holder on or before April 3, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

c.                   Maker shall have no right to prepay all or any part of the principal under this Note.

Section 1.3 This Note is issued in exchange solely for Holder’s surrender of the Convertible Notes previously issued by Maker, and subsequently acquired by Holder, as specifically listed on Schedule A hereto, each of which represents amounts due and owing by Maker to the original holder thereof as of at least twelve months prior to the date of this Note, and for no other consideration from Holder. All obligations of Maker to Holder, as represented in the Convertible Notes listed in Schedule A hereto, are replaced and superseded in their entirety by the terms of this Note.

 

Section 1.4 The Principal Amount of this Note shall be prorated based on the amount of Convertible Notes previously issued by Maker, as specifically listed in Schedule A hereto, that have actually been purchased by Holder, such that the Maker shall only be required to repay that prorated portion of the Principal Amount pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

ARTICLE II.

CONVERSION RIGHTS; CONVERSION PRICE

 

Section 2.1 Conversion. The Holder or its assigns shall have the right, from time to time, commencing on the Issuance Date of this Note, to convert any part of the outstanding interest or Principal Amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Maker (the “Notice Shares”) at the Conversion Price determined as provided herein. Promptly after delivery to Maker of a Notice of Conversion of Convertible Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, or any other form provided by the Holder, properly completed and duly executed by the Holder or its assigns (a “Conversion Notice”), the Maker shall issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock for the that portion of this Note to be converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith.

 

No fraction of a share or scrip representing a fraction of a share will be issued on conversion of the No te, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which Notice of Conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes, mails or emails the Notice of Conversion duly executed to the Maker. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered to the Holder within two (2) trading days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Maker. Delivery of shares upon conversion shall be made to the address specified by the Holder or its assigns in the Notice of Conversion.

 

Section 2.2. Conversion Price. Upon any conversion of this Note, the Conversion Price shall be equal to the lesser of a) .001 or b) Fifty Percent (50%) (“Conversion Price Discount”) of the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) during the twenty Trading Days (defined below) prior to the day the Holder requests Conversion, and the Conversion Amount shall be the amount of principal or interest electively converted in the Conversion Notice. The total number of shares due under any conversion notice (“Notice Shares”) will be equal to the Conversion Amount divided by the Conversion Price.

“Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, any trading price on the OTC Bulletin Board, or other applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Maker and Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded. “Trading Day” shall mean any business day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The Conversion Price Discount is adjustable for the following conditions:(i) the Maker experiences DTC “Chill” on its shares, (ii) the Maker’s stock is NOT DWAC/FAST eligible, (iii) if the Maker is not an SEC Reporting Issuer, or (iv) the Maker has a “Yield” or “Stop” Sign on OTC Markets at the time the Holder elects to convert the Note (collectively, the “Conditions”). If any of these Conditions are present, the Conversion Price Discount shall have 7 percentage points subtracted from it for each Condition.

 

Section 2.3. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Maker shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Maker is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Maker), redeem or repurchase more than a de minimis number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of Maker, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Maker, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Maker, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Maker) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Note to be performed and observed by the Maker and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Maker) in order to provide for adjustments of the number of shares of common stock into which this Note is convertible which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2.3(a). For purposes of this Section 2.3(a), “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(a) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

Section 2.4. Restrictions on Securities. This Note has been issued by the Maker pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). None of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) they first shall have been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) the Maker shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel (in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to Maker) to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that have not been so registered and that have not been sold pursuant to an exemption that permits removal of the applicable legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR UPON RECEIPT BY THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

 

Upon the request of a Holder of a certificate representing any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Maker shall remove the foregoing legend from the certificate or issue to such Holder a new certificate free of any transfer legend, if (a) with such request, the Maker shall have received an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Maker in form, substance and scope, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such certificate or (b) a registration statement under the Act covering such securities is currently in effect.

 

Section 2.5. Reservation of Common Stock.

 

(a)          The Maker covenants that during the period the Note is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock of the Maker upon the Conversion of the Note. The Maker shall continuously monitor its compliance with the share reservation requirements and, if and to the extent necessary to increase the number of reserved shares to remain and be in compliance with such reservation requirements and immediately notify the Transfer Agent in writing of the reservation of such additional shares.

The Maker further covenants that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Maker issuable upon the conversion of this Note. The Maker will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the OTC Bulletin Board (or such other principal market upon which the Common Stock of the Maker may be listed or quoted).

 

(b)               The Maker shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Maker will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note above the amount payable therefor upon such conversion immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Maker to perform its obligations under this Note.

 

(c)                Upon the request of Holder, the Maker will at any time during the period this Note is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Holder, the continuing validity of this Note and the obligations of the Maker hereunder.

 

(d)                Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the current Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Maker shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

 

(e)                Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible or in the Conversion Price, the Maker shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

 

 

 

 

 5

 
 

 

(f)       If at any time the Maker does not have a sufficient number of authorized and available shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Note, then the Maker shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within forty-five (45) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

Section 2.6. Maximum Conversion. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Notes in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on Conversation Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

 

Section 2.7 Failure to Deliver Notice Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Notice Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Maker shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Maker.

WHEREAS, the Assignor holds debt in the aggregate principal amount stated on the signature page (the "Debt") in the trading company identified below, which Debt arose more than twelve ( 12 ) months ago and:

 

WHEREAS, the Assignor wishes to assign and transfer its rights in the Debt to the Assignee and the Assignee wishes to accept such assignment, all subject to the terms and conditions herein;

 

NOW, THERFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties and trading company agree as follows:

The Assignor represents that the Assignor is not and has not been, an officer, Director or 10% or more shareholder of the trading company and in acting as a non-affiliate is not restricted from assigning this Debt and also the Debt is a non contingent liquidated obligation owed to it that was created and became valid in excess of twelve months prior to this date and that there are no obligations or liabilities of any kind remaining due from the Assignor that would be a condition to the validity or collection of the Debt and that the Assignee by purchasing such Debt does not become obligated to perform any of the past agreements, if any, of any nature, owed by the Assignor to the trading company. Further, as part of the assignment of the Debt, the Assignee acquires all contemplated conversion rights into common stock of the trading company, of the Assignor, and the beneficial ownership and right to same relating back. Assignor also represents that from the time the Debt was created, regardless of how it was documented at that time or subsequently, the Assignor, with the cooperation of the trading company, could have obtained a consolidation of the Debt into a promissory note, debenture or similar instrument. Also, the Assignor confirms that it was the understanding with the Company, that the Debt could be converted into shares of common stock in the Company to settle the Debt, over 12 months past.

 

2.Assignment of Debt. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Assignor hereby assigns, sells, grants, conveys and transfers to Assignee, and Assignee hereby accepts, purchases and acquires from Assignor, all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the Debt, confirmation of which is attached hereto as Attachment A, including all rights. As consideration for such Assignment, Assignee shall pay Assignor the amount on the signature page hereof being the "Assignment Payment.” As part of the Debt assignment, Assignor shall transfer all related supportive documents to the Assignee and all UCC and other financing rights, but in no event is the Assignee required to investigate or verify the Debt or supportive documents since it is a commercial representation by the Assignor that the Debt is real and support is true and complete.

 

 

 

 

 

 23

 
 

 

3.Assignor Bound. Assignor hereby accepts the foregoing assignment and transfer and promises to be bound by and upon all the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions set forth therein.

Assignor represents and warrants that it has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. Assignor further represents that when executed and delivered by it, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Assignor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms and not subject to defenses.

 

6.Waiver. Any Party hereto shall have the right to waive compliance by the other of any term, condition or covenant contained herein. Such waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent failure to comply with the same or any different term, condition or covenant. No waive, however, is valid unless in writing and the other Party is notified of same, except if the waiver is from the assignee and relates to any dealing between the trading company and the Assignee in which case notice to the Assignor is not relevant.

DNA Brands Inc.
$30,000 Convertible Promissory Note
8.75% CONVERTIBLE NOTE
DATED May 6, 2019

 

Due: May 6, 2020

 

THIS NOTE (the “Note”) is a duly authorized Convertible Note of DNA Brands Inc. a Colorado Corp (the “Company”).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED in the amount of $30,000 (Thirty Thousand Dollars) (USD), the Company promises to pay Dr. Thomas Rutherford (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $30,000, (Thirty Thousand Dollars USD), pursuant to the redemption schedule outlined in Section 9 below (the “Principal Amount”). As monies lent to the company in the amount of $30,000, (Thirty Thousand USD) (the “monies owed”) is due on May 6, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount (“Interest”) in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate of twelve percent (8.75%) per Annum (the “Rate”) from the date of issuance.

 

1) Accrual of Interest shall commence on the date of this Note at the Rate, and continue until the Company repays in full the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued but unpaid Interest. Upon an Event of Default, the Rate shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8. The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is payable on the Maturity Date in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Company will pay the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

2)All payments on account of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”).

 

3)The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the issuance of this Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to Fifty percent (50%) (“Discount”) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery by Holder to Company of the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by delivering a conversion notice, the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit B (“Conversion Notice”), executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert the Note. The Company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock in respect of the Note, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion, transfer agent fees, equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Holder’s option, any accrued costs paid by Holder may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

Share Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, and prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock for consideration per share that is less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issuance price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock, or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above described security, debt instrument, warrant, right or option, and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase right if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to all other rights of the Holder of this Note.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares or script representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission, email, or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer. At the Maturity Date, subject to Section 13 below, the Company will pay any unconverted outstanding Principal Amount and accrued Interest thereon, at the option of the Holder, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.

 

Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $100 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by such Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

 

4)No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

 

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pari passu with the Note in all respects.

5)If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.

 

6)This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of FLorida .. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts of the State of Florida residing in Broward County in connection with any dispute arising under this Note, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

 

7)The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

 

a.The Company shall default in the payment of principal and interest on this Note and same shall continue for a period of five (5) days; or

 

b.Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

d.The Company fails to authorize or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Note and when required by this Note, and such transfer is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or fails to cause its Transfer Agent to remove such restricted legend, in each case where such removal is lawful, as and when required by this Note, the Agreement, and any such failure shall continue uncured for five (5) business days; or

 

e.The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

g.Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

i.Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

k.The Company effects, or attempts to effect, a reorganization similar in structure to that provided in Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the Issuer’s state of Incorporation.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

 

8)If one or more of the “Events of Default” as described above shall occur, then (a) the Rate shall increase to nine and a half percent (9.5%), and (b) the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note.

 

9)Redemption. At any time while the Note remains outstanding, upon three (3) business days’ written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, the Company may redeem this Note by making payment by wire transfer to Holder as follows: (i) if redemption payment is made within 60 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 100% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; (ii) if redemption payment is made within 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 110% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; if redemption payment is made after 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 120% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest.

10)The Company covenants that until all amounts due under this Note are paid in full, by conversion or otherwise, unless waived by the Holder or subsequent Holder in writing, the Company shall:

  at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the three (3) times outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

b.(ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, then the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note, dated the date of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, and evidencing the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

12)Reservation of Shares. Company shall instruct its transfer agent to reserve at least Five million (5 Million ) shares of its Common Stock for issuance to Holder in connection with conversion of this Note, and shall provide Holder with a copy of such instruction letter.

 

13)The Holder may not convert this Note to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company.

 

14)Maximum Rate. All provisions herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by such Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

 

4)No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

 

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pari passu with the Note in all respects.

5)If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.

 

6)This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of FLorida .. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts of the State of Florida residing in Broward County in connection with any dispute arising under this Note, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

e.The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

k.The Company effects, or attempts to effect, a reorganization similar in structure to that provided in Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the Issuer’s state of Incorporation.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

 

8)If one or more of the “Events of Default” as described above shall occur, then (a) the Rate shall increase to nine and a half percent (9.5%), and (b) the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note.

At any time while the Note remains outstanding, upon three (3) business days’ written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, the Company may redeem this Note by making payment by wire transfer to Holder as follows: (i) if redemption payment is made within 60 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 100% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; (ii) if redemption payment is made within 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 110% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; if redemption payment is made after 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 120% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest.

10)The Company covenants that until all amounts due under this Note are paid in full, by conversion or otherwise, unless waived by the Holder or subsequent Holder in writing, the Company shall:

 

  give prompt written notice to the Holder of any Event of Default or of any other matter which has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in a materially adverse change in its financial condition or operations;
     
  give prompt notice to the Holder of any claim, action or proceeding which, in the event of any unfavorable outcome, would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) on the financial condition of the Company;
     
  at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the three (3) times outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

13)The Holder may not convert this Note to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company.

 

14)Maximum Rate. All provisions herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

DNA Brands Inc.
$37,500 Convertible Promissory Note
8.75% CONVERTIBLE NOTE
DATED September 30th, 2019

 

Due: September 30th, 2020

 

THIS NOTE (the “Note”) is a duly authorized Convertible Note of DNA Brands Inc. a Colorado Corp (the “Company”).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED in the amount of $37,5000 (Thirty Seven thousand Five Hundred Dollars USD), the Company promises to pay Adrian McKenzie-Patasar or PBDC LLC(DBA) (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $10,000, (Ten thousand dollars USD), pursuant to the redemption schedule outlined in Section 9 below (the “Principal Amount”) in the amount of $37,500, (Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars USD) (the “monies owed”) is due on September 30th 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount (“Interest”) in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate of twelve percent (8.75%) per Annum (the “Rate”) from the date of issuance. FOR BACK SALARIES OWED

 

1) Accrual of Interest shall commence on the date of this Note at the Rate, and continue until the Company repays in full the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued but unpaid Interest. Upon an Event of Default, the Rate shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8. The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is payable on the Maturity Date in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Company will pay the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

2)All payments on account of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”).

 

3)The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the issuance of this Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to a Fifty percent (50%) (“Discount”) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the thirty (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery by Holder to Company of the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by delivering a conversion notice, the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit B (“Conversion Notice”), executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert the Note. The Company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock in respect of the Note, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion, transfer agent fees, equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Holder’s option, any accrued costs paid by Holder may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

Share Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, and prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock for consideration per share that is less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issuance price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock, or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above described security, debt instrument, warrant, right or option, and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase right if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to all other rights of the Holder of this Note.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares or script representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission, email, or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer. At the Maturity Date, subject to Section 13 below, the Company will pay any unconverted outstanding Principal Amount and accrued Interest thereon, at the option of the Holder, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.

 

Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $100 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by such Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

 

4)No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

 

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pari passu with the Note in all respects.

5)If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.

 

6)This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of FLorida .. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts of the State of Florida residing in Broward County in connection with any dispute arising under this Note, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

 

7)The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

 

a.The Company shall default in the payment of principal and interest on this Note and same shall continue for a period of five (5) days; or

 

b.Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

 

c.The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of any Note and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from the Holder of such failure; or

e.The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

g.Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

i.Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

  give prompt notice to the Holder of any claim, action or proceeding which, in the event of any unfavorable outcome, would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) on the financial condition of the Company;
     
  at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the three (3) times outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

 

11)Upon receipt by the Company of evidence from the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note,

b.(ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, then the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note, dated the date of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, and evidencing the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

12)Reservation of Shares. Company shall instruct its transfer agent to reserve at least Five million (5 Million ) shares of its Common Stock for issuance to Holder in connection with conversion of this Note, and shall provide Holder with a copy of such instruction letter.

 

13)The Holder may not convert this Note to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company.

 

14)Maximum Rate. All provisions herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

DNA Brands Inc.
$10,000 Convertible Promissory Note
8.75% CONVERTIBLE NOTE
DATED October 6th, 2019

 

Due: October 6th, 2020

 

THIS NOTE (the “Note”) is a duly authorized Convertible Note of DNA Brands Inc. a Colorado Corp (the “Company”).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED in the amount of $10,000 (Ten Thousand Dollars USD), the Company promises to pay Dr. Thomas Rutherford (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $10,000, (Ten Thousand Dollars USD), pursuant to the redemption schedule outlined in Section 9 below (the “Principal Amount”). As monies lent to the company in the amount of $10,000, (Ten Thousand Dollars USD) (the “monies owed”) is due on May 6th, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount (“Interest”) in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate of twelve percent (8.75%) per Annum (the “Rate”) from the date of issuance.

 

1) Accrual of Interest shall commence on the date of this Note at the Rate, and continue until the Company repays in full the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued but unpaid Interest. Upon an Event of Default, the Rate shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8. The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is payable on the Maturity Date in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Company will pay the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

2)All payments on account of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”).

 

3)The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the issuance of this Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to Fifty percent (50%) (“Discount”) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery by Holder to Company of the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by delivering a conversion notice, the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit B (“Conversion Notice”), executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert the Note. The Company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock in respect of the Note, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion, transfer agent fees, equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Holder’s option, any accrued costs paid by Holder may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

Share Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, and prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock for consideration per share that is less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issuance price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock, or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above described security, debt instrument, warrant, right or option, and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase right if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to all other rights of the Holder of this Note.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares or script representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission, email, or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer. At the Maturity Date, subject to Section 13 below, the Company will pay any unconverted outstanding Principal Amount and accrued Interest thereon, at the option of the Holder, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.

 

Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $100 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by such Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

 

4)No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

 

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pari passu with the Note in all respects.

 

 

 

 2 

 

 

5)If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.

 

6)This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of FLorida .. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts of the State of Florida residing in Broward County in connection with any dispute arising under this Note, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

 

7)The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

 

a.The Company shall default in the payment of principal and interest on this Note and same shall continue for a period of five (5) days; or

 

b.Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

 

c.The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of any Note and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from the Holder of such failure; or

 

d.The Company fails to authorize or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Note and when required by this Note, and such transfer is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or fails to cause its Transfer Agent to remove such restricted legend, in each case where such removal is lawful, as and when required by this Note, the Agreement, and any such failure shall continue uncured for five (5) business days; or

 

e.The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

 

f.A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or

 

g.Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

 

h.Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar process in excess of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars in the aggregate shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

 

i.Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

 

 

 

 3 

 

 

j.The Company shall have its Common Stock suspended or delisted from an exchange or over-the-counter market from trading for in excess of five trading days, or shall fail to remain current with its financial filings.

 

k.The Company effects, or attempts to effect, a reorganization similar in structure to that provided in Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the Issuer’s state of Incorporation.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

 

8)If one or more of the “Events of Default” as described above shall occur, then (a) the Rate shall increase to nine and a half percent (9.5%), and (b) the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note.

 

9)Redemption. At any time while the Note remains outstanding, upon three (3) business days’ written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, the Company may redeem this Note by making payment by wire transfer to Holder as follows: (i) if redemption payment is made within 60 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 100% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; (ii) if redemption payment is made within 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 110% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; if redemption payment is made after 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 120% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest. If the Company delivers a written Redemption Notice, the Holder shall have the right to convert principal and interest on the Note into Conversion Shares for a period of three (3) business days from the date of the Redemption Notice.

 

10)The Company covenants that until all amounts due under this Note are paid in full, by conversion or otherwise, unless waived by the Holder or subsequent Holder in writing, the Company shall:

 

  give prompt written notice to the Holder of any Event of Default or of any other matter which has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in a materially adverse change in its financial condition or operations;
     
  give prompt notice to the Holder of any claim, action or proceeding which, in the event of any unfavorable outcome, would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) on the financial condition of the Company;
     
  at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the three (3) times outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

 4

13)The Holder may not convert this Note to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company.

 

14)Maximum Rate. All provisions herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

DNA Brands Inc.
$21,000 Convertible Promissory Note
8.75% CONVERTIBLE NOTE
DATED December 31, 2018

 

Due: December 31, 2019

 

THIS NOTE (the “Note”) is a duly authorized Convertible Note of DNA Brands Inc. a Colorado Corp (the “Company”).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED in the amount of $21,000 (Twenty One Thousand USD), the Company promises to pay PBDC LLC or Adrian McKenzie (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $21,000, (Twenty One Thousand USD), pursuant to the redemption schedule outlined in Section 9 below (the “Principal Amount”). As backpay for salaries owed for the 4th Quarter 2018, in the amount of $21,000, (Twenty One Thousand USD) (the “monies owed”) is due on December 31, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount (“Interest”) in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate of twelve percent (8.75%) per Annum (the “Rate”) from the date of issuance.

 

1) Accrual of Interest shall commence on the date of this Note at the Rate, and continue until the Company repays in full the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued but unpaid Interest. Upon an Event of Default, the Rate shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8. The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is payable on the Maturity Date in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Company will pay the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

2)All payments on account of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”).

 

3)The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the issuance of this Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lessor of (a) seventy five percent (75%) of the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock on the date of this Note or (b) fifty percent (50%) (“Discount”) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery by Holder to Company of the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by delivering a conversion notice, the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit B (“Conversion Notice”), executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert the Note. The Company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock in respect of the Note, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion, transfer agent fees, equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Holder’s option, any accrued costs paid by Holder may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

Share Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, and prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock for consideration per share that is less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issuance price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock, or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above described security, debt instrument, warrant, right or option, and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase right if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to all other rights of the Holder of this Note.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares or script representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission, email, or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer. At the Maturity Date, subject to Section 13 below, the Company will pay any unconverted outstanding Principal Amount and accrued Interest thereon, at the option of the Holder, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.

 

Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $100 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by such Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

 

4)No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

 

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pari passu with the Note in all respects.

 

 

 

 2 

 

 

5)If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.

 

6)This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of FLorida .. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts of the State of Florida residing in Broward County in connection with any dispute arising under this Note, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

 

7)The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

 

a.The Company shall default in the payment of principal and interest on this Note and same shall continue for a period of five (5) days; or

 

b.Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

d.The Company fails to authorize or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Note and when required by this Note, and such transfer is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or fails to cause its Transfer Agent to remove such restricted legend, in each case where such removal is lawful, as and when required by this Note, the Agreement, and any such failure shall continue uncured for five (5) business days; or

 

e.The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

 

f.A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or

 

g.Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

 

h.Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar process in excess of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars in the aggregate shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

 

i.Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

j.The Company shall have its Common Stock suspended or delisted from an exchange or over-the-counter market from trading for in excess of five trading days, or shall fail to remain current with its financial filings.

 

k.The Company effects, or attempts to effect, a reorganization similar in structure to that provided in Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the Issuer’s state of Incorporation.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

 

8)If one or more of the “Events of Default” as described above shall occur, then (a) the Rate shall increase to nine and a half percent (9.5%), and (b) the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note.

 

9)Redemption. At any time while the Note remains outstanding, upon three (3) business days’ written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, the Company may redeem this Note by making payment by wire transfer to Holder as follows: (i) if redemption payment is made within 60 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 100% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; (ii) if redemption payment is made within 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 110% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest; if redemption payment is made after 120 calendar days from the date of the loan, then 120% of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest.

  at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the three (3) times outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

 

11)Upon receipt by the Company of evidence from the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note,

 

a.in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon provision of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and/or its transfer agent, or

 

b.(ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, then the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note, dated the date of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, and evidencing the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

12)Reservation of Shares. Company shall instruct its transfer agent to reserve at least Five million (5 Million ) shares of its Common Stock for issuance to Holder in connection with conversion of this Note, and shall provide Holder with a copy of such instruction letter.

 

13)The Holder may not convert this Note to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company.

 

14)Maximum Rate. All provisions herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

Gentlemen:

 

I have acted, at your request, as special counsel to DNA Brands, Inc., a Colorado corporation, (“DNA Brands, Inc.”) for the purpose of rendering an opinion as to the legality of 125,000,000 shares of DNA Brands, Inc. common stock, par value $0.00001 per share to be offered and distributed by DNA Brands, Inc. (the “Shares”), pursuant to an Offering Statement to be filed under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by DNA Brands, Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form 1-A, for the purpose of registering the offer and sale of the Shares (“Offering Statement”).

 

For the purpose of rendering my opinion herein, I have reviewed statutes of the State of Colorado, to the extent I deem relevant to the matter opined upon herein, certified or purported true copies of the Articles of Incorporation of DNA Brands, Inc. and all amendments thereto, the By-Laws of DNA Brands, Inc., selected proceedings of the board of directors of DNA Brands, Inc. authorizing the issuance of the Shares, certificates of officers of DNA Brands, Inc. and of public officials, and such other documents of DNA Brands, Inc. and of public officials as I have deemed necessary and relevant to the matter opined upon herein. I have assumed, with respect to persons other than directors and officers of DNA Brands, Inc., the due and proper election or appointment of all persons signing and purporting to sign the documents in their respective capacities, as stated therein, the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to authentic original documents of the copies of all such documents submitted to me as certified, conformed and photocopied, including the quoted, extracted, excerpted and reprocessed text of such documents.

 

Based upon the review described above, it is my opinion that the Shares are duly authorized and when, as and if issued and delivered by DNA Brands, Inc. against payment therefore, as described in the offering statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Offering Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy or completeness of the information included therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form 1-A, and I express no opinion with respect thereto. My forgoing opinion is strictly limited to matters of Colorado corporation law; and, I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any state or jurisdiction therein other than Colorado, as specified herein.

 

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Offering Circular constituting a part of the Offering Statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of the opinion set forth herein to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur following the date hereof.

 

Very truly yours,
