Item 1.01

On March 20, 2017, Authentidate Holding Corp. (the Company)
entered into a note exchange agreement with the holders of an
aggregate principal amount of $2,170,000 of outstanding
promissory notes (the Original Notes) which were due and payable,
to which the Company agreed to issue the holders of such notes,
in consideration of the cancellation of the Original Notes, new
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,545,199,
which is equal to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of
the Original Notes plus the accrued but unpaid interest on the
Original Notes (the New Notes). The New Notes are convertible
into shares of the Companys Common Stock at an initial conversion
price of $2.03 per share. Based on the initial conversion price,
the New Notes are convertible into up to 1,253,792 shares of
common stock. If the Company issues or sells shares of its common
stock, rights to purchase shares of its common stock, or
securities convertible into shares of its common stock for a
price per share that is less than the conversion price then in
effect, such conversion price will be decreased to equal 85% of
such lower price. The foregoing adjustments to the conversion
price will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including
issuances to certain employee benefit plans. In addition, the
conversion price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits,
reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. The right of
holders of the New Notes to convert these securities into common
stock is subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation,
which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by a
holder to a greater percentage not in excess of 9.99% after
providing notice to us. The closing of the exchange transaction
occurred on March 20, 2017 and all of the New Notes have a
maturity date of one year from the closing date. The New Notes
are being issued in consideration of the exchange of (i) an
aggregate principal amount of $950,000 of Original Notes held by
VER 83, LLC, which were convertible at a price of $2.25 per
share, (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $520,000 of Original
Notes, held by MKA 79, LLC, which were convertible at a price of
$3.00 per share, and (iii) an aggregate principal amount of
$700,000 of unconvertible Original Notes, of which a note in the
principal amount of $250,000 was held by Hanif A. Roshan, the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the
remainder was held by Optimum Ventures, LLC, a party affiliated
by ownership with the former members of Peachstate Health
Management, LLC, our subsidiary.

The New Notes bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum with
interest payable upon maturity, the conversion of the New Notes
or on any earlier redemption date. Commencing one month after the
Companys common stock is listed for trading on a national
securities exchange the Company will have the right to redeem all
or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the New
Notes, plus all accrued but unpaid interest at a price equal to
110% of such amount. The holders of the New Notes shall have the
right to convert any or the entire amount to be redeemed into
common stock prior to redemption. Subject to certain exceptions,
the New Notes are senior to existing and future indebtedness of
the Company and will be secured by a first priority lien on all
of the Companys assets to the extent and as provided in a
Security Agreement entered into between the Company and the
holders. Subject to certain exceptions, the New Notes contain
customary covenants against incurring additional indebtedness and
granting additional liens and contains customary events of
default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the New
Notes, the holders may require the Company to repay all or a
portion of the note in cash, at a price equal to 110% of the
principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the exchange of the Original Notes for the New
Notes, the Company also agreed with the holder of all of our
outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the
Series B Preferred Stock) to exchange all of its outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock for shares of a new series of
convertible preferred stock designated as Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock (the Series E Preferred Stock). Accordingly, on
March 20, 2017, the Company also entered into a separate exchange
agreement with the holder of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, to exchange such shares for a total of 25,000 shares of
Series E Preferred Stock. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock
will have a stated value of $30.00 per share. to this exchange
agreement, the holder of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
agreed to waive all unpaid dividends that had accrued on the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The shares of Series E
Preferred Stock are initially convertible by the holder into an
aggregate of 187,500 shares of Common Stock at the initial
conversion rate of $4.00 per share. The conversion price of the
new preferred stock is subject to adjustment solely in the event
of stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations, and
similar corporate events. The right of holders of Series E
Preferred Stock to convert these securities into common stock is
subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which
beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by a holder to a
greater percentage not in excess of 9.99% after providing notice
