10% Fixed Convertible Promissory Note

 

On April 29, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company issued a 10% Fixed Convertible Promissory Note (the “Harbor Gates Note”), with a maturity date of October 29, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), in the principal sum of $152,000 in favor of Harbor Gates Capital, LLC (“Harbor Gates”). Pursuant to the terms of the Harbor Gates Note, the Company agreed to pay to Harbor Gates $152,500 (the “Principal Sum”) and to pay “guaranteed” interest on the principal balance at an amount equivalent to 10% of the Principal Sum, to the extent such Principal Sum and “guaranteed” interest and any other interest, fees, liquidated damages and/or items due to Harbor Gates have not been repaid or converted into Company common stock in accordance with the terms of the Harbor Gates Note. The Harbor Gates Note carries an original issue discount (“OID”) of $2,500. Accordingly, on the Effective Date, Harbor Gates delivered $150,000 to the Company in exchange for the Harbor Gates Note.

 

In addition to the “guaranteed” interest, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), additional interest would accrue from the date of the Event of Default at the rate equal to the lower of 20% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law.

 

The Company may prepay the Harbor Gates Note according to the following schedule:

 

Days Since
Effective Date
  Payment Amount
Under 30   115% of Principal Amount (as hereinafter defined) so paid
31-60   120% of Principal Amount so paid
61-90   125% of Principal Amount so paid
91-180   135% of Principal Amount so paid

 

135% of the remaining unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on the Maturity Date. “Principal Amount” refers to the sum of (i) the original principal amount of the Harbor Gates Note (including the OID, prorated if the Harbor Gates Note has not been funded in full); (ii) all guaranteed and other accrued but unpaid interest under the Harbor Gates Note; (iii) any fees due under the Harbor Gates Notes; (iv) liquidated damages; and (v) any default payments owing under the Harbor Gates Note, in each case previously paid or added to the Principal Amount.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Harbor Gates Note, the Company agreed to issue Harbor Gates shares of Company common stock in two tranches as follows:

 

  (i) 1,250 shares of common stock within three trading days of the Effective Date; and
  (ii) In the event the average of the three-volume weighted average prices for the Company’s common stock during the three consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date which is the 180th day following the Effective Date is less than $8.00 per share, then Harbor Gates will be entitled, and the Company will issue to Harbor Gates additional shares of common stock as set forth in the Harbor Gates Note.

 

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Note) occurs, the outstanding Principal Amount of the Harbor Gates Note owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at Harbor Gates’ election, immediately due and payable in cash at the “Mandatory Default Amount”. The Mandatory Default Amount means 35% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Harbor Gates Note will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Harbor Gates Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1934 Act. Commencing five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Harbor Gates Note, the Harbor Gates Note will accrue additional interest, in addition to the Harbor Gates Note’s “guaranteed” interest, at a rate equal to the lesser of 20% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

On July 2, 2020, the 10% Fixed Convertible Promissory Note was repaid in full. A cash payment of $201,300 including principal of $152,500, guaranteed interest of $15,200 and prepayment penalties of $33,600 was made to the lender. In connection with the repayment of the note, the Company recorded a charge to interest expense in the amount of $73,980 comprised of $48,800 related to interest and prepayment penalties and $25,180 related to accelerated accretion of unamortized debt discount recorded in connection with the original issue discount and in connection with common shares issued to the lender.

Convertible Note Payable

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Maxim. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Maxim agreed to surrender and exchange the Note. In exchange, the Company issued to Maxim a Series A-1 Exchange Convertible Note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “Series A-1 Note”) and a Series A-2 Exchange Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Series A-2 Note,” and collectively with Series A-1 Note, the “Exchange Notes”). As of December 31, 2018, upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Series A-1 Note automatically converted into 193,648 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The original amount of the promissory note was $1,800,000, the total amount of the two exchange notes is $1,500,000, and the difference of $300,000 was recorded as debt forgiveness income.

 

Prior to conversion, the Series A-1 Note bore interest at 2.67% per annum, was payable quarterly and had a maturity date of the earlier of the closing date of the Acquisition (as defined below) or June 20, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company was permitted to pay the interest in cash or at its sole discretion, in shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and common stock. However, the Company could only pay the interest in shares of its common stock if (i) all the equity conditions specified in the note (“Equity Conditions”) had been met (unless waived by Maxim in writing) during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the interest payment date (“Interest Notice Period”), (ii) the Company had provided proper notice pursuant to the terms of the note and (iii) the Company had delivered to Maxims’ account certain number of shares of its common stock to be applied against such interest payment prior to (but no more than five trading days before) the Interest Notice Period.

 

The Series A-1 Note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Conversion Shares”) at an initial conversion price of $15.44 per share, subject to adjustment for any stock dividends and splits, rights offerings, distributions, combinations or similar transactions. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the conversion price was automatically adjusted to equal the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock in the five trading days prior to the closing date of the Acquisition. Maxim was permitted to convert the Series A-1 Note at any time, in whole or in part, provided that upon receipt of a notice of conversion Maxim, the Company had the right to repay all or any portion of the Series A-1 Note included in the notice of conversion.

 

Additionally, the Series A-1 Note would have automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the closing date of the Acquisition provided that (i) no event of default then existed, and (ii) solely if such automatic conversion date was also the Maturity Date, each of the Equity Conditions had been met (unless waived in writing by Maxim) on each trading day during the 20 trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the automatic conversation date.

 

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company also had the right to elect to redeem some or all of the outstanding principal amount for cash in an amount (the “Optional Redemption Amount”) equal to the sum of (a) 100% of the then outstanding principal amount of the note, (b) accrued but unpaid interest and (c) all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the note (the “Optional Redemption”). The Company could only effect an Optional Redemption if each of the Equity Conditions had been met (unless waived in writing by Maxim) on each trading day during the period commencing on the date when the notice of the Optional Redemption was delivered to the date of the Optional Redemption and through and including the date payment of the Optional Redemption Amount was actually made in full.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Series A-1 Note, including, without limitation, an Option Redemption, the Company may not prepay any portion of the principal amount of the note without the prior written consent of Maxim.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Series A-1 Note, the Company was not permitted to convert any portion of the Series A-1 Note if doing so results in Maxim beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company after giving effect to such conversion, provided that on 61 days’ prior written notice from Maxim to the Company, that percentage could increase to 9.99%. However, if there was an automatic conversion, and the conversion would result in the Company issuing a number of shares in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation, then any such shares in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation would be held in abeyance for the benefit of Maxim until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in Maxim exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation, at which time or times Maxim would be issued such shares to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.

 

The Series A-1 Note contained restrictive covenants which, among other things, restricted the Company’s ability to repay or repurchase any indebtedness, make distributions on or repurchase its common stock or enter into transactions with its affiliates.

 

The Series A-2 Note has terms substantially similar to those of the Series A-1 Note except that the Series A-2 Note has a maturity date of June 20, 2020, and an initial conversion price of $15.44, which will be automatically adjusted to the lower of (i) the conversion price then in effect, and (ii) the greater of the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the Company’s common stock in the five trading days prior to the notice of conversion and $4.00.

 

As of December 31, 2018, upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Series A-1 Note automatically converted into 24,206 shares of the Company’s common stock

 

On June 4, 2020, $100,000 of principal balance was converted into 10,738 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Maxim Note.

 

On June 18, 2020, the Company and Maxim entered into that certain first amendment to the Maxim Note (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the Parties agreed to the following: (i) Maxim’s resale of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) underling the Maxim Note shall be limited to 10% of the daily volume of the Common Stock on each respective trading day, (ii) the maturity date of the Maxim Note was extended to December 31, 2020, (iii) the principal amount of the Maxim Note was increased by $100,000, which is included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, and (iv) the reference to “$15.44” in Section 4(b) of the Maxim Note was replaced with “$9.20”.

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2020 the Company recorded interest expense of $38,069. Total principal and accrued interest on Maxim note amounted to $1,000,000 and $75,894 as of November 30, 2020.
