On January 6, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment banker to provide general financial advisory and investment banking services. Services included, but not limited to in the agreement are to provide a valuation analysis of the Company, assist management and advise the Company with respect to its strategic planning process and business plans including an analysis of markets, positioning, financial models, organizational structure, potential strategic alliances, capital requirements, potential national listing and working closely with the Company’s management team to develop a set of long and short-term goals with special focus on enhancing corporate and shareholder value. The Agreement is for an initial term of six months. The Company shall pay a non-refundable fee accruing at the rate of $10,000 per month, for the term of the agreement. This advisory fee payments will be accrued and deferred for payment until the earlier of 1) closing of the financing described in the agreement, 2) a closing of interim funding at which point fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding monthly advisory fee will be payable on the last day of the month following closing of the interim financing or 3) the termination of the agreement. The Company has issued to the investment banker 912,000 vested shares of the Company’s common stock as of the execution date of this agreement. In addition, the Company will issue warrants for the purchase of 302,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which the warrants shall have a 5-year expiration and a strike price of $0.30.

On January 27, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide advisory services for an initial period of six months. The consultant will assist the Company with its objective of evaluating financing and other strategic options in connection with operational expansion and respond to any opportunities that arise in regard to strategic partnerships/acquisition/joint ventures or other business relationships that may advance revenue growth and enterprise value. Upon a qualified financing of at least $1,500,000 through a party introduced by the consultant, the Company agreed to issue up to $90,000 in equity or cash at the same rate and terms as the basis of the financing. In consideration for development services thirty days from the execution of this agreement, 20,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company will be granted to the consultant or assigns and be issued within fifteen days of the grant. Also, 30,000 additional shares shall be granted to the consultant or assigns on completion of any transactions with a potential participant.

On February 5, 2016, the Company entered into a term sheet for the proposed private placement of senior secured notes and warrants (the “Offering”) by the Company and purchase by an institutional investor. In connection with the Offering, on March 31, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with such institutional investor, which, together with the transaction documents referenced therein, provides for the terms in the following paragraph. The Company expects to close the Offering on or about April 1, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

The Offering amount is $1,800,000 less a 5% original issue discount. The securities of the note are senior secured by substantially all assets of the Company and shares of all current and future subsidiaries as well as being guaranteed by each subsidiary but are not convertible into the Company’s stock. The senior secured note also contains certain default provisions and is subject to standard covenants such as restrictions on issuing new debt. In conjunction with the note, the Company issued a warrant exercisable into 2.5 million shares with a term of five years and strike price of $0.35. The Warrants also contain certain antidilution provisions that apply in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transactions as well as a potential adjustment to the exercise price based on certain events. The relative fair value of the warrants of approximately $460,000 will be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. The note will mature three years from the closing date and will accrue interest at the rate of 14% per annum, payable monthly. The note will accrue additional interest at the rate of 2% per annum, compounding monthly, payable annually in arrears. The Company may choose to begin amortizing the principal at any time subject to prepayment premiums. Also, the Company agreed to an amended Placement Agent’s Fee with respect to the placement of such loan which differed from the original terms agreed with the Placement Agent as that agreement had expired (see Note 10, Placement Agency Agreement). The amendment included (a) postponement of payment of the cash fee of $5,000 to 15 days of execution of the term sheet, (b) the closing fee was fixed to $137,000 (based on a $1.8 million debt funding) and three-year warrants for 200,000 shares at a strike price of $0.40 per share.

 

On February 9, 2016, duostech’s counsel informed CW Electric’s counsel that on February 5th Duos executed a term sheet with an investment fund which will, among other things, provide the funding for the settlement with C.W. Electric. At the time, Duos and the lender believed that the closing will take place during or prior to the second week in March. Consequently, Duos requested that C.W. Electric refrain from filing and/or executing on the Agreed Judgment until after the closing, as they were in the final stretches of obtaining the funding necessary to resolve this matter. CW Electric’s counsel agreed to an extension and following the filing of a respective joint motion, the District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky entered an order of continuance until March 20, 2016 and further extended until April 20, 2016. With the recent closing of the debt financing, payment has been made in full. (see Note 10)
