The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Report and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except for the transactions described below.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets. As a result of the deteriorating business conditions, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $160,989 during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 related to goodwill and intangible assets associated with the Company’s acquisitions of iPass and Artilium.
Senior Convertible Note
On June 8, 2020, the Company issued the $17,500 Senior Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 to High Trail Investments SA LLC (“High Trail”) for $14,000 (the "Proceeds"). The Company received $4,000 of the Proceeds for working capital and the remaining $10,000 was deposited into a blocked bank account based on terms of a Control Agreement, and incurred approximately $469 of legal fees. Under the terms of the Control Agreement, the Company can access the funds from the blocked account as follows:
$3,000 when the Company receives $4,000 in additional financing. The Company received the additional financing in July 2020 and the funds were released to the Company to be used for working capital purposes; and
On or prior to October 31, 2020 (the “Specified Conditions Date”), $7,000 when the Company meets certain specified conditions (the “Specified Conditions”) as of any date and on each of the 20 previous trading days prior to such date as defined in the Senior Convertible Note as follows:
The Company can issue shares of its common stock upon conversion that are not subject to restrictions on resale;
Upon conversion, High Trail will not beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock;
At all times, the Company will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of its common stock available for the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note plus accrued interest;
The daily dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock for at least 17 of the prior 20 trading days is not less than $750 (as reported on Bloomberg);
The Company has obtained the requisite stockholder approval required by the Nasdaq Capital Market for the issuance of the shares of its common stock upon conversion;
The average daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock is not less than $0.85; and
There are no defaults or events of a default that have occurred or are continuing.
The Secured Convertible Note contains customary events of default, as well as events of default if the Company fails to use reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of the shares issuable upon conversion by October 31, 2020, the Company’s common stock ceases to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the Company fails to restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, in each case, prior to October 31, 2020 or fails to timely file its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act. As a result of, among other things, the Company’s common stock no longer being traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company failing to restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, in each case, prior to October 31, 2020, and its failure to timely file its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act, the Company is currently in default.
The Senior Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, including any portion constituting an optional redemption payment amount, at High Trail’s election. The conversion rate is equal to 1,666.667 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $1,000 of Senior Convertible Note principal, or $0.60 per share.
The Senior Convertible Note is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and substantially all of the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries and the assets of Pareteum Europe BV, a subsidiary organized in the Netherlands. In addition, the Senior Convertible Note contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, equity securities, liens, dividends, distributions, acquisitions, investments, sale or transfer of assets, transactions with affiliates and maintenance of certain financial ratios.
In connection with Senior Convertible Note, the Company granted a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock to High Trail at an exercise price of $0.58 per share expiring on June 8, 2025. Under the Forbearance Agreements, the exercise price of the warrant was reduced to $0.37 per share.
On November 30, 2020, the Company and High Trail entered into the Forbearance Agreement. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, High Trail agreed to forebear from exercising certain rights and remedies. High Trail agreed that it would not, directly or indirectly, exercise any right or remedy under any transaction document or take any other enforcement action in respect of the occurrence and continuance of any existing event of default (as explained above), or encourage any other person to take or initiate any such enforcement action or other action through the forbearance termination date as defined as: (a) December 31, 2020 (subsequently extended through March 31, 2021); (b) the occurrence of any event of default (other than an existing event of default); and (c) the initiation of any action by the Company or any other person to invalidate or limit the enforceability of any of the acknowledgments set forth in the Forbearance Agreement.
As a condition of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and High Trail agreed that if the Company elects the option to pay either the optional redemption payment or the stated interest in shares of its common stock, the Market Stock Payment Price was amended to remove the floor price of $0.10, such that the price would be: an amount equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days immediately prior to such interest payment date or optional redemption stock payment date.
In addition, the event of default conversion price was changed to the lesser of (A) the conversion price that would be in effect immediately after the close of business on the conversion date for such conversion as defined in the Senior Convertible Note, and (B) 75% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, such conversion date (or, if such conversion date is not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day).
On December 23, 2020, High Trail agreed to release to the Company for working capital purposes $1,000 of the $7,000 that was required to be held in the blocked bank account under the terms of a Control Agreement until the Specified Conditions were met by October 31, 2020 even though the Specified Conditions were not met. In consideration for High Trail agreeing to release the $1,000, the Company increased the initial conversion rate to 2,702.702 from 1,666.667 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note, which resulted in a decrease to the conversion price to $0.37 from $0.60.
Subsequently, High Trail agreed to extend the forbearance termination date to March 31, 2021. On April 8, 2021, High Trail provided notice to the Company that it was causing $6,000 of the purchase price maintained in the blocked account to be transferred to High Trail in partial satisfaction of the amounts outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note.
On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into the New Forbearance Agreement with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note under which (i) the Company again admitted it was in default under several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and related
agreements, and (ii) the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the Outside Date, as the same may be extended from time to time under the terms of the New Forbearance Agreement.
As partial consideration for its agreement not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note and related documents, the lender and the Company agreed to make certain changes to the documents. In this regard, the parties agreed to amend the “Event of Default Acceleration Amount” definition in the Senior Convertible Note so that the amount due and payable by the Company on account of an event of default would be an amount in cash equal to 125% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Senior Convertible Note. This represents an increase from 120% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, and removes the market-price-based alternative for such acceleration amount.
Additionally, the parties also agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note would be increased by certain paid-in-kind amounts in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to make payments of interest to the lender on each of April 1, 2021 and May 1, 2021, which amounts were not paid by the Company in cash or Common Stock. In consideration of the lender’s agreement to enter into the New Forbearance Agreement and agree to the amendments to the Senior Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay the lender a fee in the amount of $1,500. Accordingly, following these increases in the principal amount payable, but applying against the outstanding principal and such fee the $6,000 previously maintained in certain blocked account against that was foreclosed upon by the lender, the total amount of principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note as of the date of the New Forbearance Agreement was approximately $13,454.
On June 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Convertible Note under which the Company will increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, such that the Company is required to reserve the greater of i) 230,000,000 shares or ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) 200% of the principal amount outstanding, plus all accrued and unpaid interest by (B) 85% of the recent trading price of the Company's common stock.
Senior Second Lien Secured Convertible Note
On February 22, 2021, the Company issued the $2,400 Junior Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 for $2,000. The Junior Convertible Note is a senior, secured obligation of the Company, but ranks junior to the Secured Convertible Note. Interest is payable monthly beginning April 1, 2021 at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The Junior Convertible Note is secured by a second lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all of the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries. Interest may be paid, at the election of the Company, in cash or in shares of common stock of the Company; provided, that, so long as the Senior Convertible Note remains outstanding, such payments may only be made in shares. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to pay interest in shares of the Company’s common stock is determined by the application of a formula in which the amount of the interest due is divided by 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the principal market for the Company’s common stock over the 10 days preceding the date of such payment.
Subject to an intercreditor agreement with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note, the Company may elect to redeem all or a portion of the then-outstanding principal amount outstanding under the Junior Convertible Note. The holder of such Junior Convertible Note or the Company may also elect for the Company to redeem the Junior Convertible Note at a 20% premium if the Company undergoes a fundamental change. The Junior Convertible Note is convertible into the Company's common stock, in part or in whole, from time to time, at the election of the Purchaser. The conversion rate is equal to 1,666.667 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 of principal amount of the Junior Convertible Note, or $0.60 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event the Company issues stock dividends or effects a split or reverse split of the Company’s common stock.
In connection with the Junior Convertible Note, certain Series B warrants previously issued to this institutional investor for the purchase of up to 258,523 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share were cancelled; such warrants had been issued on September 24, 2019 in connection with the financing described in Note 6 Stockholders' Equity, and the Company granted a warrant to purchase 2,750,000 shares of its common stock to the purchaser at an exercise price of $0.40 per share expiring on February 22, 2026. The warrants are exercisable any time after February 22, 2021.
On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021 (the “Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement”), with two initial investors and other investors as may become party thereto from time to time (a "Note Purchaser" and collectively, the “Note Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of up to $6,000 aggregate principal amount of additional Junior Convertible Notes and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40. Under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement, a Note Purchaser will be issued Warrants equal to 83.33333333% of the principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes acquired. The additional Junior Convertible Notes and accompanying Warrants may be sold from time to time to one or more Note Purchasers under the terms of the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement. On April 29, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of
additional Junior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,788 and Warrants to purchase 1,490,000 shares of common stock under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1,490.
On June 19, 2021, the Company entered into the Omnibus Agreement, with holders of its previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes; issued three new Junior Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $17,330 for a purchase price of $5,000 in cash and the surrender of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock; and issued a new warrant to one of the Junior Convertible Note purchasers for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.
The Omnibus Agreement amended the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement and previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes and, among other changes:
Increased the aggregate principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes issuable under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement from $6,000 to $24,018 (plus the accrued in-kind interest that is subsequently added to the principal amount outstanding from time to time);
Increased the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock issuable under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement from 5,000,000 shares to 11,625,000 shares;
Added additional negative covenants that restrict the Company from selling any additional securities under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement to any new investors and from redeeming all or any portion of any Junior Convertible Notes unless the holders receive the stated premium;
Changed the conversion rate from 1,666,667 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes converted to 2,702.7027 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal converted;
Provides for accrued interest to be paid in-kind by adding such amounts to the outstanding principal balance, rather than paying such amounts in cash or the issuance of shares of common stock;
Revised the interest rate to 18% until the first interest payment date following the date on which the Company has filed all required periodic reports under the Exchange Act; and
Added a provision that at the request of holders of a majority of the outstanding Junior Convertible Notes and warrants issued under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement, the maturity date will be extended to October 1, 2027 from October 1, 2025.
8% Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock
On various dates from December 24, 2019 through August 18, 2020, the Company issued 217.67 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock with a stated value of $21.8 million for an aggregate purchase price of $13.9 million, from which the Company received net proceeds of $13.1 million after deducting legal fees of $0.8 million. By their terms, those shares are not convertible into other securities of the Company. However, on various dates from July 17, 2020 through October 1, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with the holders of those 217.67 shares, which allows either the Company or the holders to exchange such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock for shares of the Company's common stock, with the exchange ratio determined by a formula set forth in such exchange agreements. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Omnibus Agreement, the holders of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock surrendered such shares to the Company as consideration for new Junior Convertible Notes.
Warrant Extension
On April 24, 2021, the Company effected a waiver of the expiration date of its then remaining outstanding Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,105,113 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company had originally issued the Series B Warrants on September 24, 2019 for the purchase of up to 11,363,636 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share through March 24, 2021. On February 22, 2021, Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate 258,523 shares of common stock were cancelled in connection with the February 22, 2021 issuance of Junior Convertible Notes described above. On March 22, 2021 and then on April 24, 2021, the Company extended the expiration dates of the remaining outstanding Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,105,113 shares of the Company’s common stock that had the effect of extending the expiration date through June 30, 2021. The Series B Warrants subsequently expired on June 30, 2021.
