5. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

Pursuant to a term sheet offering of $2,000,000, the Company during the year ended December 31, 2015 issued convertible promissory notes to various accredited investors amounting to $1,368,978 in face value. These notes have a maturity date of 24 months and carry annual interest rate of 11%. The note holders have the right until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The note has a conversion price initially set at $1.78. Upon any future financings completed by the Company, the conversion price will reset to 75% of the future financing pricing. These notes do not contain prepayment penalties upon redemption.  These notes were secured by all of the then present and after acquired property of the Company.  However, the Company was entitled to force conversion of these notes, if during the term of the agreement, the Company completed a public listing and the common share price exceeded the conversion price for at least 20 consecutive trading days. At the closing of the offering, the Company issued cash (7%) and warrants (7% of the number of common shares into which the notes may be converted) to a broker. The broker received 3% in cash and warrants for those investors introduced by the Company.  The warrants have a term of 24 months and a similar reset provision based on future financings.

 

Pursuant to the conversion provisions, in August 2016, the Company converted the promissory notes, in the aggregate face value of $1,368,978, into 912,652 shares of common shares as detailed below. The fair value of the common shares was $2,907,912 and $1,538,934 was allocated to the related derivative liabilities (see note 6) and the balance to the carrying value of the notes.

In March 2016, the Company commenced a bridge offering of up to an aggregate of $2,500,000 of convertible promissory notes.  Up to March 31, 2017, the Company issued to various investors notes (“Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate face value of $2,455,000 (December 31, 2016 – $2,230,000). The Bridge Notes had a maturity date of 12 months and carried an annual interest rate of 10%. The Bridge Notes principal and all outstanding accrued interest were able to be converted into common stock based on the average of the lowest 3 trading days volume weighted average price over the last 10 trading days plus an embedded warrant at maturity. However, all the outstanding principal and accrued interest would convert into units/securities upon the consummation of a qualified financing, based upon the lesser of: (i) $1.65 per units/securities and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the balance on the Forced Conversion date multiplied by 1.20 by (y) the actual price per unit/security in the qualified financing. Upon the maturity date of the notes, the Company also had an obligation to issue warrants exercisable into a number of shares of the Company securities equal to (i) in the case of a qualified financing, the number of shares issued upon conversion of the note and (ii) in all other cases, the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding balance by 2.00.

On May 31, 2017, all Bridge Notes were converted into the Company’s common stock:
