Management Agreement – VC2 Advisors, LLC

 

On July 15, 2015, the Company executed an agreement with VC2 Advisors, LLC (“VC2”), a Delaware limited liability company, in which Michael Pope, the Company’s President and Director, is a managing member. VC2 is owned by Sugar House Trust and AEL Irrevocable Trust, trusts for the benefit of the families of Michael Pope and Adam Levin, respectively. The effective date of this agreement is the date of the consummation of the IPO of the Company’s Class A common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, VC2 shall perform consulting services for the Company relating to, among other things, sourcing and analyzing strategic acquisitions and introductions to various financing sources. VC2 shall receive an annual management fee payable in cash equal to 1.5% of total consolidated revenues at the end of each fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, payable in monthly installments, commencing as of the date of the Company’s IPO. The annual fee is subject to a cap of $1,000,000 in each of 2016, 2017 and 2018. At its option, VC2 may also defer payment until the end of each year, payable as an option to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company, at a price per share equal to 100% of the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock as traded on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange as of December 31 of such year. Effective as of October 12, 2016, as a result of Adam Levin and Michael Pope no longer being employed at VC2, the consulting agreement with VC2 was terminated. Subsequently, the Company entered into new consulting agreements on identical terms with other entities which now employ Michael Pope and Adam Levin.

On November 7, 2014, we issued to Vert Capital and a consultant five year warrants to purchase 796,813 and 23,904 shares of our Class A common stock, respectively, at an exercise price, equal to 110% of the initial per share offering price of the shares being sold under the Company’s initial public offering. Among other provisions, such warrants contain “cashless” exercise rights and prohibit the holder from selling any of the shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants for a period of not less than nine months from the date of issuance. Effective as of October 12, 2016, and as a result of Adam Levin and Michael Pope no longer being employed at Vert Capital, Boxlight Parent cancelled the remaining balance of the Vert Capital warrants and reissued 597,610 and 199,203 of such warrants to entities associated with Adam Levin and to Michael Pope, respectively. These warrants had a value at par per share at the grant date because the Company was incorporated in September 2014 and at development stage. These warrants expire on December 31, 2019. These warrants will be valued using Black-Scholes option-pricing model upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering.
