Note 7 – Convertible Promissory Notes and Loans

 

In March 2018 the Board authorized the Company to issue non-interest bearing convertible promissory notes at a conversion price of $0.10 per share to the Initial Investors and others and $500,000 of these convertible notes have been issued, for which only $225,000 has been received by the Company in cash.

 

On May 24, 2018 the Board authorized a private placement of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount up to $15,000,000 at a conversion price of $1.00 per share (the "Convertible Note Offering").  The Notes accrue interest at eight percent (8%) per annum and are convertible into common stock of the Company at any time prior to or at the Maturity Date, twelve months from the Issuance Date.  In connection with the $1.00 Convertible Note Offering, the Company received funds of $3,495,500 as of December 31, 2018. The Board terminated the Convertible Note Offering in October, 2018.

 

In total, the Company has issued convertible promissory notes of principal value $3,995,500, for which the Company has received a total of $3,720,500 in funds.

 

The convertible promissory notes were issued at different times during the year, and the difference between the conversion prices of the notes and the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of the investment, as measured by the closing price on the OTC Markets, was recorded as a Beneficial Conversion Feature interest expense.

 

In June 2019, the Company refunded $26,000 to a convertible promissory note investor. The accrued interest on that promissory note was written off by agreement with the investor.

 

In August 2019 the Company converted $1,994,500 principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes convertible at $1.00 plus $124,997 of accrued interest into 2,119,525 restricted shares of common stock per the terms of the Convertible Note subscription agreements the Company entered into in 2018 with 59 accredited investors. Accrued interest on the Notes was rounded up to the next whole dollar so the Company did not issue fractional shares. Also, in August, the Company converted $21,000 principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes (non-interest bearing) convertible at $0.10 into 210,000 shares of common stock

 

In October 2019 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA"), dated October 14, 2019 and effective October 16, 2019 (the "Issuance Date"), by and between the Company and Auctus Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Auctus"), pursuant to which Auctus purchased from the Company, for a purchase price of $500,000 (the "Purchase Price"): (i) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $500,000.00 (the "Auctus Note"); (ii) a common stock purchase warrant permitting Auctus to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the "First Warrant"); (iii) a common stock purchase warrant permitting Auctus to purchase up to 350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share (the "Second Warrant"); and (iv) a common stock purchase warrant permitting Auctus to purchase up to 275,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.75 per share (the "Third Warrant" and together with the First Warrant and the Second Warrant, the "Warrants", and together with the Note, the "Securities").

 

The Auctus Note accrues interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and matures on October 14, 2020 (the "Maturity Date"). If the Company prepays the Auctus Note, the Company shall pay all of the principal and interest, together with a prepayment penalty ranging from 125% to 150% depending upon the date of such prepayment. The Auctus Note contains customary events of default (each an "Event of Default"). If an Event of Default occurs, all outstanding obligations owing under the Auctus Note will become immediately due and payable in cash or Common Stock at Auctus' election. Any outstanding obligations owing under the Auctus Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per annum.

 

The Auctus Note is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to the adjustments described therein. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall equal the lesser of: (i) $1.50, and (ii) 50% multiplied by the lowest trading price for the Common Stock during the twenty-five (25) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date (representing a discount rate of 50%). Notwithstanding anything contained in the Auctus Note to the contrary, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Conversion Price shall not be less than $1.50 per share (the "Floor Price"). The Floor Price is subject to adjustment at the six (6) and nine (9) month anniversary of the Issuance Date. In the event that the Floor Price as of such dates is less than 70% multiplied by the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Common Stock during the five (5) trading day period immediately prior to such dates, the Floor Price is adjusted to such lesser amount.

 

Under the terms of the SPA, subject to certain conditions, upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") registering all of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Auctus Note and the Warrants, Auctus agreed to provide the Company with an additional investment of up to $1,000,000 through the issuance of an additional note or notes, as applicable (the "Additional Notes" together with the Note, the "Notes").

  

The Auctus Notes and Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a "public offering," as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the investor agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a "public offering." Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

In connection with the SPA, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "RRA") pursuant to which it committed (i) use its best efforts to file with the Commission the Registration Statement within ninety (90) days of the Issuance Date; and (ii) have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission within one hundred fifty (150) days of the Issuance Date. The Company filed a Registration Statement with the Commission in November 2019 and it was declared effective in December 2019, registering 1,625,000 shares.

 

In January 2020 the Auctus Fund LLC exercised its option to convert $21,305 of the principal of its Convertible Note and accrued interest and fees of $8,695 (a total of $30,000) into 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The principal balance remaining on the Note following this conversion was $478,695.

 

In February 2020 the Auctus Fund LLC exercised its option to convert $138,998 of the principal of its Convertible Note and accrued interest and fees of $11,002 (a total of $150,000) into 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

No other changes were made to the terms of the Warrants or the Convertible Note held by the Auctus Fund. In February, the Auctus Fund LLC exercised 167,000 warrants at $1.50 per share, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $250,500.

 

In February 2020, the Board authorized a private placement of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount up to $5,000,000 at a conversion price of $1.50 per share (the "2020 Convertible Note Offering").  The Notes accrue interest at eight percent (8%) per annum and are convertible into common stock of the Company at any time prior to or at the Maturity Date, twelve months from the Issuance Date.  In connection with the 2020 Convertible Note Offering, the Company has received funds of $100,000 as of June 30, 2020. The Board closed the 2020 Convertible Note Offering to further investment in June 2020.

 

On May 8, 2020 the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of the Auctus convertible note, including accrued interest and prepayment penalty interest, for a total of $462,691.
