Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 6, 2019, Edison Nation, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor purchased a 2% unsecured, senior convertible promissory note (the “Note”) from the Company. The use of proceeds from note will be used to fund the purchase of 48,500 units of 911 Help Now Pendants and related products that are currently being offered for sale on domestic home shopping television networks. The press release announcing the launch of the Company’s 911 Help Now Pendant product is discussed further in Item 7.01, below. Unless there is a specific Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Note), the Investor shall not have the ability to convert the principal and interest under the Note into shares of the Company. On March 12, 2019, the Company entered into a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Christopher B. Ferguson, which states that Mr. Ferguson will allow the Company to cancel an amount of shares of Common Stock held by him, such that if any shares reserved under the terms of the Note are actually issued pursuant to the terms of the Note, the issuance of those shares will not be a dilutive issuance by the Company in the aggregate.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued 15,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) to the Investor as additional consideration for the purchase of the Note. Under the terms of the SPA, the Investor will have piggyback registration rights in the event the Company files a Form S-1 or Form S-3 within six months from March 6, 2019, as well as a pro rata right of first refusal in respect of participation in any debt or equity financings undertaken by the Company during the 18 months following March 6, 2019. The Company is also subject to certain customary negative covenants under the SPA, including but not limited to, the requirement to maintain its corporate existence and assets subject to certain exceptions, and to not to make any offers or sales of any security under circumstances that would have the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefitting other investors in a manner more favorable in any material respect than those rights and benefits established in favor of the Investor under the terms of the SPA and the Note.

As issued on March 6, 2019, the principal amount of the Note is $560,000, with an original issue discount in the amount of $60,000. The maturity date of the Note is six months from March 6, 2019. As stated above, all principal amounts and the interest thereon are convertible into shares Common Stock only in the event that an Event of Default occurs. The per share conversion price into which the principal amount and interest under the Note may be converted is equal to 80% multiplied by the lowest traded price of the Common Stock during the 20 consecutive trading days preceding the date of conversion. The conversion price may be adjusted in connection with certain material corporate events, and the Company is subject to cash penalties in the event that the Company fails to timely deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Note.

As assurance to the Investor for the Company’s obligations under the Note, the Company agreed to reserve a number of shares of Common Stock, free from preemptive rights, equal to the greater of (a) 250,000 shares of Common Stock, or (b) the sum of the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the full conversion of the Note (assuming no payment of principal or interest thereon), multiplied by two. The Note contains a cap, such that the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Note is limited to 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of March 6, 2019.

So long as an Event of Default has not occurred under the terms of the Note, the Company may prepay the Note at an time, given not less than three trading days’ notice. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note at any time within the initial 180 days following March 6, 2019, the prepayment amount to be paid by the Company shall be an amount in cash equal to the sum of 115% multiplied by the principal on the Note then outstanding, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, including unpaid default interest, if any.

The foregoing descriptions of the SPA, the Note and the Pledge Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of the SPA and the Note, as well as the Pledge Agreement, which are filed as, respectively, Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto.
