NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On November 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an existing investor in the Company (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser purchased 2,500 shares of authorized Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock”), at a price of $1,000 per share, and the Company received proceeds of $2,500,000.

 

The November Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company will not, with certain exceptions, sell or issue common stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the November Purchase Agreement) on or prior to June 30, 2024 that entitles any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than the then conversion price of the Series E Preferred Stock without the consent of the Purchasers. The conversion price of the Series E Preferred Stock currently is $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment).

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale by the Purchasers of the shares of common stock into which the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are convertible. Subject to certain conditions, the Company must cause the registration statement to be declared effective by 90 days after closing (or in the event of a full review by the SEC, by 120 days). The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

 

Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of common stock (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) determined by dividing the stated value of such share ($1,000) by the conversion price, which is $3.00 (subject to standard anti-dilution provisions). The Company shall not affect any conversion of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and the holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion sought by the holder such holder (together with such holder’s Attribution Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Designation)) would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or upon election by a holder, 19.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Each Purchaser elected the 19.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

The terms of the Series E Preferred Stock provide that, without shareholder approval (the "Stockholder Approval"), the Company may not issue upon the conversion of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock a number of shares of common stock which, when aggregated with any shares of common stock issued upon conversion of any other shares of Series E Preferred Stock, would exceed 1,430,484 (subject to adjustment). Such number represents 20% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding upon the filing of the Series E Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation.

 

To obtain the stockholder approval, the Company is required to hold a meeting of shareholders at the earliest practical date, but in no event later than 120 days after closing (or 150 days in the event of a review of the proxy statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) to seek approval for the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock into common stock above the allowed amount. The terms of the Series E Preferred Stock limit its convertibility until the Company receives shareholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”). If the Company does not obtain the Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, it is required to hold shareholder meetings every four months until the Stockholder Approval is obtained.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, completed on August 2, 2023, certain protections existed for the investor if the Company completed a share offering with an equivalent common stock price of less than the $6.20 on or before December 31, 2023. In such an event, the investor of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall exchange the Series F shares for an equivalent to the lower common stock equivalent price for any transactions completed prior to December 31, 2023. In connection with the November 9, 2023 Series E Convertible Preferred Stock offering, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with the investor and issued an additional 5,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share with $3.00 per common share equivalent in exchange for 5,000 outstanding and issued shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. All shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were held by a single shareholder.
