Auctus Financing

On March 11, 2021 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Auctus Purchase Agreement”) with Auctus Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Auctus”), pursuant to which the Company issued to Auctus a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Auctus Note”).  The net proceeds received by the Company were $1,337,000 (after deducting fees and expenses related to the transaction, including a payment to Alere (as defined and discussed below). The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Auctus Note has a maturity date of one year from the Issuance Date. The Auctus Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, which is also payable on maturity, with the understanding that the first 12 months of interest (equal to $180,000) is guaranteed and deemed to be earned in full as of the Issuance Date. In the event the Company fails to pay any amount when due under the Auctus Note, the interest rate will increase to the greater of 16% or the maximum amount permitted by law. The Auctus Note may be prepaid during the first 180 calendar days from the Issuance Date subject to a 110% prepayment penalty on all principal and accrued but unpaid interest then outstanding.  The Auctus Note may not be paid in whole or in part after 180 calendar days from the Issuance Date.

Auctus may convert any amount due under the Auctus Note at any time, and from time to time, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share; provided, however, that Auctus may not convert any portion of the Auctus Note that would cause it to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price and number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Auctus Note will be subject to adjustment from time to time for any subdivision or consolidation of shares and other standard dilutive events.

The Auctus Note contains a number of events of default, including but not limited to the following: (i) the Company’s failure to be quoted or listed (as applicable) on the OTCQB, OTCQX, any tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE American within 120 days of the Issuance Date (the “Trading Date”) and (ii) the Company’s failure to file a registration statement covering the Auctus’ resale at prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) of all of the common stock underlying the Auctus Note and the Auctus Warrants (as defined below) within 30 calendar days following the Issuance Date, (ii) cause the registration statement to become effective within 150 calendar days following the Issuance Date.  An event of default is subject to a confession of judgement against the Company in the favor of Auctus.  Additionally, the Auctus Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a security agreement that was entered into in connection with the issuance of the Auctus Note (the “Security Agreement”); provided, however, the Security Agreement will be automatically terminated as of the Trading Date assuming no event of default then exists.  

In connection with the issuance of the Auctus Note, Auctus was also issued two five-year warrants as follows: the first warrant was to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share (the “First Auctus Warrant") and the second warrant was to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share (the "Second Auctus Warrant").  The First Auctus Warrant and the Second Auctus Warrant are referred to herein as the “Auctus Warrants” and the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Auctus Warrants are referred to as the “Auctus Warrant Shares”.

Auctus may not exercise the Auctus Warrants with respect to any number of Auctus Warrant Shares that would cause it to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock.  The Auctus Warrants may be exercised for cash, or, if the “market price” of the Company’s common stock is greater than the Auctus Warrant’s exercise price, and there is not an effective registration statement covering the Auctus Warrant Shares, the Auctus Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. The number of shares of common stock to be deliverable upon exercise of the Auctus Warrants is subject to adjustment for subdivision or consolidation of shares and other standard dilutive events, or in the event the Company effects a reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, disposition of assets, or other fundamental transaction.

Pursuant to the Auctus Purchase Agreement, the Company granted Auctus piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares underlying the Auctus Note and the Auctus Warrant.  In addition, the Company agreed that, while any amount remains unpaid under the Auctus Note, it would not sell securities on more favorable terms than those provided to Auctus, without adjusting Auctus’ terms accordingly. Further, among other things, the Company agreed that, while any amount remains unpaid under the Auctus Note, it would not enter into any variable rate transactions.

Further and in connection with the issuance of the Auctus Note, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Auctus (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) whereby it the Company agreed to (i) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering resale by Auctus at prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) of all of the common stock underlying the Auctus Note and the Auctus Warrants within 30 calendar days following the Issuance Date, (ii) cause the registration statement to become effective within 150 calendar days following the Issuance Date. 

Alere Financial, A Division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC (“Alere”), served as the placement agent for the Auctus Note and received a total cash fee equal to $120,000 (or 8% of the principal amount of the Auctus Note).  Mr. Levy, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is affiliated with Alere but has waived any portion of such fee received by Alere to which he is entitled as an affiliate of Alere.
