Settlement Agreements

On January 2, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a third party service provider pursuant to which we agreed to pay the service provider an aggregate amount of Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($550,000) pursuant to an agreed upon payment schedule in consideration for the cancellation of an outstanding debt owed by the Company to the service provider in the aggregate amount of $1,470,000 (the “Owed Amount”). Upon payment in full of the $550,000, the service provider has agreed to waive the difference between the settlement amount and the Owed Amount and at that time the Company would record a gain on settlement of approximately $0.9 million.

As discussed in Note 8 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities, on January 15, 2019, the Company and Crede entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “Crede Amendment Agreement”) in order to enable the Company to provide Crede with an alternative means of payment of the settlement amount by issuing to Crede a convertible note in the amount of $1,450,000 (the “Crede Note”). The conversion price of the Crede Note shall equal 90% of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the date prior to each conversion date. The Crede Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of (i) January 15, 2021 or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $4.0 million. The Crede Note may not be converted if, after giving effect to the conversion, Crede together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company, at its option, may redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Crede Note for cash.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Crede Amendment Agreement, during the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Crede Note and ending on the date Crede no longer beneficially owns any portion of the Crede Note, Crede shall not sell, on any given trading day, more than the greater of (i) $10,000 of common stock (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) and (ii) 10% of the daily average composite trading volume of the Company’s common stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) for such trading day.

 

On February 8, 2018, the Company had entered into the 2018 Purchase Agreement with Leviston, see Note 11 – Stockholders equity of the 2018 Purchase Agreement. On January 29, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Leviston Settlement”) with Leviston pursuant to which the Company issued to Leviston a convertible note in the amount of $0.7 million (the “Leviston Note”) in full satisfaction of the obligations to Leviston. The Leviston Note is payable by the Company (i) in fourteen equal monthly installments commencing on the earlier to occur of (x) the last day of the month upon which a registration statement to be filed by the Company covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Leviston Note is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (y) the six month anniversary of the date of issuance, (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $4.0 million or (iii) such earlier date as the Leviston Note is required or permitted to be repaid pursuant to its terms. The Company, at its option, may redeem some or the entire then outstanding principal amount of the Leviston Note for cash.

 

The conversion price in effect on any conversion date shall equal the VWAP of the common stock on such Conversion Date. The Leviston Note may not be converted if, after giving effect to the conversion, Leviston together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Leviston Settlement, during the period commencing on the issuance date of the Leviston Note and ending on the date Leviston no longer beneficially owns any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Leviston Note, Leviston shall not sell, on any given trading day, more than the greater of (i) $10,000 of common stock (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) and (ii) 10% of the daily average composite trading volume of the Company’s common stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) for such trading day.

 

In addition to the Leviston Settlement and the Leviston Note, the Company and Leviston have each executed a release pursuant to which each of the Company and Leviston agreed to release the other party from their respective obligations arising from or concerning the Obligations.

 

Nasdaq Delisting Notice

On March 6, 2018, we were notified by the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price per share of our common stock was below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).  The staff provided us with 180 calendar days, or until September 24, 2018, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.  We did not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by September 24, 2018 and, on September 25, 2018, the Staff notified us that we were eligible for an extension for compliance through March 25, 2019, by which date our common stock must evidence compliance for at least ten consecutive business days.  We did not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by March 26, 2019 and on such date we received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that we are not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital and are subject to delisting. In accordance with the governing rules of Nasdaq, on March 27, 2019, we requested an appeal before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel. This request will prevent any delisting action at least until the Panel issues its decision and the expiration of any extension granted by the Panel. The Company continues to work diligently to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. No assurances can be made that such efforts will be successful or that the Company will prevail at the hearing before the Panel to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq. We have scheduled a compliance review meeting with Nasdaq on May 2, 2019. As reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2018, our shareholders previously approved the proposal to authorize our Board of Directors to, in its discretion, amend our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of between 1-for-2 and 1-for-30, with the exact ratio to be set within that range at the discretion of our Board of Directors at any time prior to December 20, 2019 without further approval or authorization of the stockholders.

Convertible Note Issuance

 

On April 16, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment and restatement agreement amending and restating the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement (as first amended pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement dated Nov 29, 2019) (the "Amendment No.2 Agreement"). Amendment No. 2 Agreement provides for the issuance of up to approximately $989,011 of additional Notes together with applicable Warrants (the “April 2019 Additional Notes and Warrants”) on substantially the same terms and conditions as the notes and warrants as of the notes and warrants that were issued in connection with the Amendment and Restatement. The April 2019 Additional Notes and Warrants shall be purchased no later than May 31, 2019, and were subscribed for by the investors that previously participated in the 2018 Note Agreement. Upon issuance of the April 2019 Additional Notes, the Company will calculate any debt issuance costs, including possible beneficial conversion features, and record them as a reduction of the debt in its consolidated balance sheet, similar to the Bridge Notes that the Company issued during 2018 (see Note 7 – Convertible Notes). 

 

The conversion price of the April 2019 Additional Notes shall be equal to the greater of $0.25 or $0.05 above the closing bid price of our common stock on the date prior to the original issue date. In the event the notes are not paid in full prior to 180 days after the original issue date, the conversion price shall be equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) in the 10 trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion, but in no event below the floor price of $0.15.

 

On April 16, 2019, the  initial closing of April 2019 Additional Notes provides the Company with approximately $800,000 of gross proceeds for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of approximately $879,120.  As part of the transaction, the investors also received 1,966,275 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.36.
