1. | Description of Securities; Description of Company and Risk Factors; Lock-Up. |
a. | Description of Securities. The Company is offering (the “Offering”) to the Investor in the minimum subscription amount of $25,000, however, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept subscriptions less than this amount, of the Company’s 6% convertible unsecured promissory notes (the “Notes”) due as to principal and accrued interest on April 25, 2025, being three years from the date of the Initial Investor Package (the “Maturity Date”). |
This Offering is being conducted in advance of the Company’s intended initial public offering (“IPO”) of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and listing of our Common Stock for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other national securities exchange.
The Notes issued herein may be converted at any time by the holders into Common Stock. In addition, in connection with an IPO, the Notes will automatically (and without any action on the part of the holders) be converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the 60% of the public offering price per share of the Common Stock offered to the public in the IPO. For the avoidance of doubt if, for example, the initial per share offering price in the IPO is $5.00 per share, the conversion price would be $3.00 (60% of the $5.00 per share IPO price).

Under our engagement letter with Xxxxxxxx, dated as of March 28, 2022 (the “Engagement Letter”), Xxxxxxxx has been engaged as our exclusive financial advisor for the 18-month term of the Engagement Letter. In addition, Xxxxxxxx has expressed its intent to enter into an Underwriting Agreement with the Company to act as the lead underwriter for the proposed IPO on a “firm commitment” basis. There can be no assurance that we and Xxxxxxxx will be able to agree on the terms of such Underwriting Agreement or that our proposed IPO will be successfully consummated.
In the event that an IPO is not consummated, and if the Company (a) is acquired as a result of a “Sale of Control” (as defined below), (b) merges with a “SPAC” (as defined below) or (c) consummates a “Reverse Merger” (as defined below) (each, a “Liquidity Event”) prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders into shares of common stock of any successor-in-interest to the Company at a price per share equal to 60% of the aggregate “Transaction Consideration” (as defined below), divided by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock of the acquiror resulting from the Liquidity Event.
As used herein, (i) the term “Sale of Control” shall mean a sale of all or substantially as of the capital stock or assets of the Company to any unaffiliated third Person, whether through share sale, asset sale, merger, consolidation or like combination, as a result of which the ability to control the board of directors of the Company shall pass to such third Person, (ii) the term “SPAC” shall mean a special purpose acquisition corporation listed on Nasdaq or other national securities exchange, and (iii) the term “Reverse Merger” shall mean a reverse merger of the Company with a fully-reporting public corporation without any significant business activities, including a special purpose acquisition corporation or “SPAC,” that is then trading on Nasdaq or the OTCQX platform of the OTC Market (“Pubco”; it being contemplated that in a transaction with a SPAC or a Reverse Merger, the stockholders of the Company will own a substantial majority of the equity securities of the SPAC or Pubco. As used herein, the term “Transaction Consideration” shall mean the dollar value placed on the total consideration paid to the Company including, but not limited to, (i) the value of the Liquidity Event, including consideration whether in cash, stock or in-kind, received by and/or paid by the Company, (ii) the total amount of indebtedness for borrowed funds, capitalized lease obligations and non-trade liabilities of the Company that are either assumed by the acquirer, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in connection with the Liquidity Event, or which remain outstanding after the Liquidity Event is consummated; (iii) the fair market value of any assets excluded from the Liquidity Event; (iv) the fair market value of any ownership interests which are retained by the Company’s shareholders or which remain outstanding after the Liquidity Event is consummated; and (v) the amount of any contingent payments, including, without limitation, earn-outs and future royalties payable in connection with the Liquidity Event.
Within one hundred and eighty-one (181) days or six calendar months, whichever is later, following the consummation of the IPO, the Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the SEC in order to register for resale all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company or common stock of any successor-in-interest to the Company issued to all holders of the Notes upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Shares”), and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within forty-five (45) business days from the date of its initial submission or filing; provided, that such Conversion Shares will continue to be subject to restrictions on resale for a period of six (6) months following consummation of the IPO.
In the event neither an IPO nor another Liquidity Event is consummated within twelve (12) months of the Closing of the Offering, the Company may elect either to (a) repay the Notes in whole or in part (subject to the conversion rights of the Holders), or (b) if the Company does not repay the Notes the unpaid principal amount of the Notes will automatically increase to 110% of the outstanding principal amount. The Company may also elect to prepay the Note at any time after April 25, 2023 upon 20 business days’ prior written notice to the Holder; provided, that the Holder may elect to convert the Note into Common Stock prior to the date fixed for prepayment at a conversion price equal to 60% of the “Optional Conversion Price” (defined below).
2 |
In the event that the Company shall elect to raise additional capital through a private placement of Common Stock or other securities that are convertible or exercisable for a price less than the “Optional Conversion Price,” as defined below, then and in such event the Conversion Price of the Notes shall be adjusted to reflect such lower amount. The “Optional Conversion Price” shall mean a price or conversion price that is equal to the price per share determined by dividing $50 million by the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Holders of the Notes will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement. The Investor Rights Agreement will provide for typical “drag along” and “tag along” rights and will permit the holders to participate in subsequent securities offerings, including the IPO, in a percentage amount of such securities offering equal to 100% of the percentage invested by such Holder in the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder purchases $100,000 of Notes, such holder has the right to invest in subsequent offerings no less than $100,000 in the subsequent offerings, including the IPO.
The form of Note is attached as Exhibit E hereto and is part of the Offering Documents. In addition, holders of the Notes will also enter into an Investor Rights and Lock-Up Agreement with the Company in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto which shall contain customary “tag along” and “drag along” rights.
For a more detailed description of the Notes see the Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Notes and the shares of Common Stock or common stock of a SPAC or Pubco (“Successor Common Stock”) into which the Notes are convertible are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities.” The above referenced IPO, SPAC acquisition or Reverse Merger is sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Liquidity Event” and the Company Common Stock or Successor Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares”). The Notes and the Conversion Shares are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

V. CERTIFICATIONS |
I understand that investment in the securities is an illiquid investment. In particular, I recognize that I must bear the economic risk of investment in the securities for an indefinite period of time since the securities have not been registered under the Act and therefore cannot be sold unless either they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available and a favorable opinion of counsel for the Company to that effect is obtained if requested by the Company. I consent to the affixing by the Company of such legends on certificates representing the securities as any applicable federal or state securities law may require from time to time.
I represent and warrant to the Company that: (i) all information provided in this Questionnaire is complete, true and correct; (ii) I and my investment managers, if any, have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of these securities, including, but not limited to, the risks set forth in the risk factor disclosure document and other Offering Materials provided to me; (iii) I and my investment managers, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to obtain all information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information in the transaction documents for this offering and other information provided to the undersigned and have had all inquiries to the Company answered, and have been furnished all requested materials relating to the Company and the offering and sale of the securities; (iv) I have such knowledge and experience in financial and investment matters, either alone or with my investment managers, that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment; (v) neither I nor my investment managers, if any, have been furnished any offering literature by the Company or any of its affiliates, associates or agents other than the transaction documents, the term sheet, Risk Factor Disclosure Document, as amended, and the investor presentation provided to the undersigned by the Company related to this investment (collectively, the “Offering Materials”) relating to this investment, and the documents referenced therein; and (vi) I am acquiring the securities for which I am subscribing for my own account, as principal, for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of the securities. By my completion of this Questionnaire and execution of other transaction documents, I confirm and agree that I have reviewed and understand the provisions of each such transaction document and, should my subscription be accepted by the Company, agree to be bound thereby.
The undersigned, if a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of business entity: (i) is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the securities; (ii) has obtained such additional tax and other advice that it has deemed necessary; (iii) has its principal place of business at its address set forth in this Questionnaire; and (iv) has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities (although this may not necessarily disqualify the subscriber as a purchaser). The persons completing this Questionnaire and executing all other documents related to the offering, represent that they are duly authorized to complete or execute all such documents on behalf of the entity. (If the undersigned is one of the aforementioned entities, it agrees to supply any additional written information that may be required.
