NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

 

On June 5, 2013, the Company completed the closing of a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with 35 accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 8,936,470 shares of our common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $0.40 per share, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $3,574,588. In addition, the Investors received two-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,936,470 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “Investor Warrants”). We received net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million after payment of placement agent fees and costs relating to the Private Placement. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund our ongoing operations and to provide working capital.

 

In consideration for services rendered as the exclusive placement agent in the Private Placement, we paid ACGM, Inc., New York, New York (the “Placement Agent”) cash commissions totaling $178,729 (5% of the gross offering proceeds). In addition, as consideration for services rendered in connection with the Private Placement, we issued to the Placement Agent 357,459 restricted shares of our Common Stock, representing 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement at a price of $0.80 per share to determine the number of shares issued to the Placement Agent.

 

The lead investor in the Private Placement was Pan-African Investment Company, LLC (“PIC”), a New York City-based private investment firm which invested $1,000,000 and purchased 2,500,000  shares of Common Stock and received an Investor Warrant to purchase 2,500,000 shares. In connection with PIC’s lead investment the Company, PIC and its major shareholders agreed to appoint a PIC representative to the Trunity Board of Directors and to nominate that designee for reelection by the shareholders at each annual meeting held while PIC owns at least 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. In addition, the Company and PIC entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to structure a formal business relationship whereby PIC will have the exclusive right to introduce the Trunity eLearning Platform to African countries seeking to improve the quality of education for their citizens.
