Exhibit 3.1
SERIES SEED PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Series Seed Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of December 5, 2014, by and among Groundfloor Finance Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”) and the investors listed on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (each a “Purchaser” and together the “Purchasers”).
The parties hereby agree as follows.
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF PREFERRED STOCK.
1.1 Sale and Issuance of Series Seed Preferred Stock.
1.1.1 The Company shall adopt and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia on or before the Closing (as defined below) the First Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached to this Agreement (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Restated Charter”).
1.1.2 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Closing and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser at the Closing that number of shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock, no par value per share, set forth opposite each Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $5.205 per share (the “Price”).
1.2 Closing; Delivery.
1.2.1 The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the date of this Agreement or at such other time and place as the Company and the Purchasers representing a majority of the Shares to be sold mutually agree upon, orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the “Closing”).
1.2.2 At any time and from time to time during the one hundred twenty (120) day period immediately following the Closing (the “Additional Closing Period”), the Company may, at one or more additional closings (each an “Additional Closing”), without obtaining the signature, consent or permission of any of the Purchasers, offer and sell to other investors (the “New Purchasers”), at the Price per share, up to that number of Shares that is equal to the total number of Shares authorized by the Restated Charter less the number of Shares actually issued and sold by the Company at the Closing and any prior Additional Closings. New Purchasers may include persons or entities who are already Purchasers under this Agreement. The Company and the New Purchasers purchasing Shares at each Additional Closing will execute counterpart signature pages to this Agreement and that certain agreement among the Company and the Purchasers dated as of the date of the Closing in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement,” and together with this Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”), and such New Purchasers will, upon delivery to the Company of such signature pages, become parties to, and bound by, the Transaction Agreements, each to the same extent as if they had been Purchasers at the Closing.
1.2.3 At the Closing and each Additional Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares being purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing and such Additional Closing, as applicable, against payment of the purchase price therefor by check payable to the Company, by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company, by cancellation or conversion of indebtedness of the Company to Purchaser, by delivery of a duly-executed promissory note in favor of the Company or by any combination of such methods.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements will not result in any such violation or default, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i) a default under any such judgment, order, writ, decree, agreement, instrument, contract, lease, note, indenture, mortgage or purchase order or (ii) an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company.

2.11 Agreements. Except for the Transaction Agreements and the Material Agreements (as defined below) identified on Section 2.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts or proposed transactions to which the Company is a party that involve (a) obligations (contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to, the Company in excess of $25,000, (b) the license of any Intellectual Property to or from the Company other than licenses with respect to commercially available software products under standard end-user object code license agreements or standard customer terms of service and privacy policies for Internet sites, (c) the grant of rights to manufacture, produce, assemble, license, market, or sell its products to any other person, or that limit the Company’s exclusive right to develop, manufacture, assemble, distribute, market or sell its products, or (d) indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of proprietary rights other than standard customer or channel agreements (each, a “Material Agreement”).

A “Person” means any individual, partnership, corporation, association, joint stock company, trust, joint venture, unincorporated organization or other entity or governmental entity or department, agency or political subdivision of any such entity.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, as follows.
3.1 Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Agreements. The Transaction Agreements to which such Purchaser is a party, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or (b) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares with the Company’s management. Nothing in this Section 3, including the foregoing sentence, limits or modifies the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon.
| 6 |
3.4 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable United States federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares, or the Common Stock into which it may be converted, for resale except as set forth in the Investors’ Rights Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
3.5 No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Shares.
3.6 Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Shares and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Shares, may bear any one or more of the following legends: (a) any legend set forth in, or required by, the other Transaction Agreements; (b) any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Shares represented by the certificate so legended; and (c) the following legend:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”
3.7 Accredited and Sophisticated Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Purchaser is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. If other than an individual, Purchaser also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.
3.8 No General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder (a) engaged in any general solicitation with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares, or (b) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
| 7 |
3.9 Exculpation Among Purchasers. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The Purchaser agrees that neither any Purchaser nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares.
3.10 Residence. If the Purchaser is an individual, then the Purchaser resides in the state identified in the address of the Purchaser set forth on Exhibit A; if the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of the Purchaser in which its principal place of business is identified in the address or addresses of the Purchaser set forth on Exhibit A.
3.11 Foreign Investors. If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Shares. The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.
3.12 Bad Actor. None of the Purchaser, its principals, its affiliates, or any Purchaser designee(s) to the Company’s Board of Directors (each an “Purchaser Party”) meet any of the disqualifying criteria described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii) promulgated under the Securities Act (each a “Rule 506 Disqualification”).
4. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
4.1 Purchaser Covenants. In the event that any Purchaser Party becomes subject to a 506 Disqualification after the date hereof, such Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing of such Rule 506 Disqualification (including the material facts related thereto) as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than five (5) business days after such Purchaser’s discovery of such Rule 506 Disqualification. To the extent that the Company’s Board of Directors (excluding the directors designated by such Purchaser), with the advice of legal counsel, determines that such Rule 506 Disqualification may result in the Company’s ineligibility to rely on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, each Purchaser agrees to take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Company to restore such eligibility including, without limitation, and to the extent so requested, causing any Purchaser designee(s) to the Company’s Board of Directors to resign therefrom and fill such resulting vacancy pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, each Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Company, and at the request of the Company, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the Company may reasonably request in order to evidence that no Purchaser Party is subject to a Rule 506 Disqualification such that the Company may be ineligible to rely on the exemption provided by Rule 506. The covenants contained in this Section 4.1 shall continue in full force and effect until such time as no Purchaser Party is, directly or indirectly, a shareholder, beneficial owner, affiliate, director, officer, partner, principal, member, manager, managing director, employee, and/or investment manager of the Company.
