NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Due to Related Party

 

The Company and other related entities have had a commonality of ownership and/or management control, and as a result, the reported operating results and /or financial position of the Company could significantly differ from what would have been obtained if such entities were autonomous.

On January 2, 2019, Sera Labs entered into an administrative service agreement (“Service Agreement”) with Visionworx, an affiliate of Sera Labs. Visionworx will process payments related to Sera Lab’s operations using Visionworx’s contractual relationship with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. via its Chase Paymentech Select Merchant Payment Instrument Processing Agreement. In consideration for the services, Sera Labs will pay to Visionworx a management fee equal to all associated fees and expenses in connection with the Service Agreement. The Service Agreement is effective on January 2, 2019 and will continue for a period of two years. The term of the Service Agreement will be renewed automatically for additional one-year periods until terminated. The Service Agreement may be terminated by (a) either party for any reason at least thirty days’ prior written notice to the other party; or (b) immediately upon the mutual consent of the parties.

  

On August 6, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “August Note”) with one of the Company’s board members (“Board Investor”), for a principal amount of $150,000. The August Note is due on August 6, 2021 and has an interest rate of 8% per annum, payable in quarterly payments. The principal and accrued interest under the August Note can convert into a convertible promissory note if the Company consummates a debt financing for the sale and issuance of promissory notes that are convertible into common stock of the Company on terms that are more favorable to new investors than the terms described in the term sheet included in the August Note. Upon notice by the Company of such debt financing, the holder of the August Note shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert the August Note into a convertible promissory note, with the same principal amount and interest accruing from the date of issuance of the August Note, on the same terms as the convertible promissory notes issued to such new investors. The Board Investor did not elect to convert their August Note into a convertible promissory note, with the same principal and interest accruing from the date of issuance of the August Note, on the same terms as the convertible promissory notes issued to such new investors. As of the date of this report, both the Company and the Board Investor agreed to extend the August Note and are currently negotiating the terms of the amendment.
