On August 7, 2018, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“Discover”), pursuant to which we issued a senior secured redeemable convertible debenture in the principal amount of $2,717,391 (of which $217,391 was retained by Discover as an original issue discount) (the “Debenture”), in exchange for $500,000 cash consideration and a promissory note issued to the Company in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”).

During the fiscal year 2019, Discover Growth Fund LLC issued the additional $2,000,000 to the Company and converted $1,249,522 of the aggregate debt. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Discover Growth Fund LLC converted $754,315 of their outstanding debt.

On March 19, 2021, the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with an existing institutional investor (the “Investor”), whereby, in exchange for the Investor returning to the Company for cancellation the Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture, issued by the Company on August 7, 2018, which was convertible into Common Stock at a variable conversion price. The Company is issuing to the Investor 1,556,905 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into a fixed number of shares of Common Stock. The valuation was derived from a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,435,695 that represents the fair value of debt forgiveness, less the issuance of 598,048,320 common stock shares valued at par of $0.001.

On November 27, 2018, the Company received funding in conjunction with a convertible promissory note and a security purchase agreement dated November 27, 2018, in the amount of $250,000. The lender was Auctus Fund LLC. The notes have a maturity of August 27, 2019 and interest rate of 12% per annum and are convertible at a price of 60% of the lowest trading price on the primary trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed for the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately prior to conversion. Additionally, if the stock price falls below par value, additional shares will be issued at the lower conversion rate so that stocks continue to be issued at par value. The note may be prepaid but carries a penalty in association with the remittance amount, as there is an accretion component to satisfy the note with cash. The Company is currently negotiating an extension with the noteholder as it is currently past due. As a result of a default provision, the interest rate has increased to 24% and additional principal was added in the amount of $15,000. This note has been reduced by the issuance of 1,092,829,802 shares of stock during the years 2019 and 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance is $112,259.

Effective February 28, 2019 as a component of the closing of the business combination between Beyond Commerce, Inc. and Service 800, Jean Mork Bredeson, Founder and President of Service 800, the Company issued a $2,100,000 three-year 5.5% promissory note to Ms. Bredeson. Interest only payments are required during the first year of the note. The $2,100,000 promissory note is personally guaranteed by the estate of George Pursglove whose executor is Geordan Pursglove, the Company’s President and CEO.

As a component of the Service 800 transaction, in lieu of the entire cash payment of $2,100,000 being made to Ms. Bredeson, a $210,000 amount was to be withheld until May 30, 2019 and continues to be outstanding. This note does not carry any interest obligations. Also, as all cash and accounts receivables at the effective date of the closing were to be retained by Ms. Bredeson, this allocation of cash is to be distributed quarterly on a non interest basis as true-ups are derived, which amounted to $1,409,169 as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021 respectively. Although holdbacks did not initially include interest obligations, we agreed to begin accruing interest at 10% in September 2019, and then 15% in October 2019 if we passed an agreed repayment date.

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with TCA Special Situations Credit Strategies ICAV, an Irish collective asset vehicle (the “Buyer” or “TCA ICAV”), and TCA Beyond Commerce, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“TCA Beyond Commerce”), pursuant to which the Buyer purchased from the Company a senior secured redeemable debenture having an initial principal amount of $900,000 and an interest rate of 16% per annum (the “Initial Debenture”).

The Initial Debenture, and any future debentures that may be purchased by Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Additional Debentures”), is secured through an unconditional and continuing security interest in all of the assets and properties, including after acquired assets, of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, which are acting as guarantors with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Initial Debenture and any Additional Debentures, pursuant to that certain Security Agreement, dated December 31, 2019, entered into by the Company and TCA Beyond Commerce in favor of the Buyer (the “Security Agreement”). In addition, Geordan Pursglove, the Company’s CEO, delivered a personal guaranty with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The maturity date on this security is December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company paid $73,453 to reduce the loan balance.

In May 2020, the SEC appointed a Receiver to close down the TCA Global Master Fund, L.P. over allegations of accounting fraud. The amount recorded by the Company as being owed to TCA was based on TCA’s application of prior payments made by the Company. The Company believes that prior payments of principal and interest may have been applied to unenforceable investment banking and other fees and charges. It is the Company’s position that the amount owed to TCA is less than the amount set forth above.

TCA Beyond Commerce entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Membership Interest Purchase Agreement”), whereby TCA Beyond Commerce acquired 100% of the authorized and issued membership interests of CCS from its sole member (the “CCS Seller”). TCA Beyond Commerce acquired the membership interests for a purchase price of $525,000 (the “CCS Purchase Price”), with $175,000 paid in cash at closing and the remaining $350,000 to be paid through TCA Beyond Commerce’s issuance of a convertible promissory note with an original principal of $350,000 and a conversion feature that provides the CCS Seller with the right to convert outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price based on the 10-day trailing average price of the Company’s stock. The cash maturity date is December 31, 2022. $175,000 is to be paid in cash, with the remaining $175,000 to be repaid through conversion, unless a larger conversion is requested by the noteholder. During the nine months of 2021, payments of principal and accrued interest totaling $46,065 were made reducing the principal balance outstanding to $312,684.

If the SBA does not confirm forgiveness of the Loan, or only partly confirms forgiveness of the Loan, or Borrower fails to apply for loan forgiveness, Borrower will be obligated to repay to the Bank the total outstanding balance remaining due under the Loan, including principal and interest, and in such case, Bank will establish the terms for repayment of the Loan Balance in a separate documentation to be provided to Borrower, which letter will set forth the Loan Balance, the amount of each monthly payment, the interest rate (not in excess of a fixed rate of one per cent (1.00% per annum), the term of the Loan, and the maturity date of two (2) years from the funding date of the Loan.
