Amendment of Promissory Note

 

With respect to the securities purchase agreement dated October 7, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”), as amended most recently on August 29, 2017, the parties agreed to amend the terms of the Purchase Agreement and promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) as follows:

 

The maturity date of the Promissory Note is the earlier of December 15, 2017 or the third business day after the closing of the Public Offering.

 

Pursuant to the default provisions of the Promissory Note, the Company accrued a $12 million default penalty as of September 30, 2017, which was included within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

See Note 10 - Subsequent Events - Promissory Note for additional details.

 

Amendment of Promissory Note - Continued

 

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 JMJ such number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Origination Shares equal to 48% of the consideration paid by JMJ, divided by the lowest of (i) $35.00 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 JMJ such number of Origination Shares that would result in JMJ 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.

 

Issuances

 

With respect to the Securities Purchase Agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company received additional advances of an aggregate of $1,550,100 under the Promissory Note, such that, as of September 30, 2017, an aggregate of $2,550,100 had been advanced to the Company by JMJ. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to repay an aggregate of $1,649,749 to JMJ in connection with the advances received during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The $99,649 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 Promissory Note.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 44,289 shares of the Company’s common stock with an issuance date fair value of an aggregate of $80,056, which was recorded as a derivative liability. The aggregate exercise price of the warrants is $1,550,110. As of September 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 $1,224,048 fair value of the obligation as of September 30, 2017. See Note 4 – Accrued Expenses – Accrued Issuable Equity. The conversion option of the Promissory 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,594,139, which was recorded as a debt discount against the principal amount of the Promissory Note. The $54,322 of debt discount in excess of the principal was recognized immediately and the remaining $1,539,817 of debt discount is being recognized over the term of the Promissory Note.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued note payables in the aggregate principal amount of $260,000 to certain lenders. Interest on the notes accrues at a rate of 12% annually and is payable at maturity. The notes mature on the earlier of December 29, 2017 or the Company receiving $5,000,000 from equity investors or through debt financings. In connection with the issuances of these notes, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,600 shares of common stock at an exercise price the lower of $35.00 per share or a price equal to a twenty percent discount to the price per share sold in any equity financing transaction within the next twelve months whereby the Company cumulatively receives at least $1,000,000. The aggregate grant date fair value of the warrants of $52,260 was recorded as an original issue discount and is being amortized over the terms of the respective notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company and a lender agreed to extend a note payable with a principal balance of $50,000 and a maturity date of February 2016, to the earlier of: (a) December 29, 2017; or (b) the Company receiving $5 million in proceeds from equity and/or debt financings. The lender also waived any past events of default with regard to a failure to make payments pursuant to the original note, as amended. In connection with the extension the Company issued the lender a five-year warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price the lower of $35.00 per share or a price equal to a twenty percent (20%) discount to the price per share sold in any equity financing transaction within the next twelve months whereby the Company cumulatively receives at least $1,000,000.
