CONVERTIBLE AND OTHER NOTES

 

Amendment of Promissory Note

 

With respect to the securities and purchase agreement dated October 7, 2016, as amended on March 23, 2017 and on May 15, 2017, the parties agreed to amend the terms of the securities and purchase agreement and promissory note as follows:

 

The maturity date of the note is the earlier of June 15, 2017 or the third business day after the closing of the public offering. See Note 10 – Subsequent Events – Convertible Notes for additional details related to the extension of the maturity date of the note.

 

With respect to the Origination Shares, on the fifth (5th) trading day after the pricing of the public offering, but in no event later than maturity date, the Company shall deliver to the purchaser such number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Origination Shares equal to 48% of the consideration paid by the purchaser, divided by the lowest of (i) $0.70 per share, or (ii) the lowest daily closing price of the Common Stock during the ten days prior to delivery of the Origination Shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits), or (iii) 80% of the Common Stock offering price of the public offering, or (iv) 80% of the unit price offering price of the public offering (if applicable), or (v) the exercise price of any warrants issued in the public offering. In the event that the public offering is not completed before the maturity date, so long as purchaser owns any of the Origination Shares at the time of a subsequent public offering where the pricing terms above would result in a lower Origination Share pricing, the Origination Shares pricing shall be subject to a reset based on the same above pricing terms (such that the Origination Shares issuance price would be reduced and the number of Origination Shares issued would be increased to equal the Origination Dollar Amount). Unless otherwise agreed by both parties, at no time will the Company issue to the purchaser such number of Origination Shares that would result in the purchaser owning more than 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding of the Issuer immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Origination Shares.

 

The purchaser conditionally waives the defaults for the Company’s failure to meet the original and previously amended maturity date of the note and delivery date for the Origination Shares, but the purchaser does not waive any damages, fees, penalties, liquidated damages, or other amounts or remedies otherwise resulting from such defaults (which damages, fees, penalties, liquidated damages, or other amounts or remedies the Investor may choose in the future to assess, apply or pursue in its sole discretion) and the purchaser’s conditional waiver is conditioned on the Company’s not being in default of and not breaching any term of the note or the securities and purchase agreement or any other Transaction Documents (as defined in the securities and purchase agreement) at any time subsequent to the date of the amendment. If the Company triggers an event of default or breaches any term of the note, the securities and purchase agreement, or the Transaction Documents at any time subsequent to the date of the amendment, the purchaser may issue a notice of default for the Company’s failure to meet the original maturity date of the note and delivery date of the Origination Shares. As of the date of filing, the Company has violated certain covenants of the note, however, the violations did not trigger an event of default and did not result in the Company being obligated to pay any fines or penalties.

 

Issuances

 

With respect to the securities and purchase agreement dated October 7, 2016, as amended on March 23, 2017 and May 15, 2017, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company received additional advances of an aggregate of $1,500,100 under the note, such that, as of June 30, 2017, an aggregate of $2,500,100 had been advanced to the Company by the purchaser. Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company is required to repay an aggregate of $1,596,535 to the purchaser in connection with the advances received during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $96,435 difference between the principal amount and the cash received was recorded as debt discount and is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the note, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,142,998 shares of the Company’s common stock with an issuance date fair value of an aggregate of $74,392, which was recorded as a derivative liability. The aggregate exercise price of the warrants is $1,500,100. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had not issued the Origination Shares (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) associated with the advances to-date and, as a result, accrued for the remaining $1,200,048 fair value of the obligation as of June 30, 2017. See Note 4 – Accrued Expenses – Accrued Issuable Equity. The conversion option of the note was determined to be a derivative liability. The aggregate issuance date fair value of the warrants, Origination Shares, conversion option, placement agent fees and other issuance costs in connection with the advances during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,550,977, which was recorded as a debt discount against the principal amount of the note. The $54,322 of debt discount in excess of the principal was recognized immediately and the remaining $1,496,654 of debt discount is being recognized over the term of the note.
