AXIM BIOTECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTCMKTS:AXIM) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 12, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with an institutional accredited investor (“Investor”) to which Investor invested $4,000,000 (the “Financing”).

On the Closing Date, the Company issued to Investor an unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $4,210,000, in exchange for payment by Investor of $4,000,000. The principal sum of the Note reflects the amount invested, plus a $200,000 “Original Issue Discount” (“OID”) and a $10,000 reimbursement of Investor’s legal fees. The Company also paid a placement fee of $60,000 to a third-party broker-dealer. The SPA and the Note are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The Note matures in 18 months. So long as the Company is not in receipt of redemption notice (discussed below), the Note may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part in minimum increments of $50,000, by making payment to Investor in an amount of cash equal to 125% of the amount being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

There are no payments of principal or interest due under the Note for the first six months following its issuance. Commencing on the date that is six (6) months from the issuance of the Note, Investor may redeem a portion of the Note in monthly amounts not to exceed $350,000 in any calendar month. Provided the Company has not suffered an “Event of Default” and is in compliance with certain “Equity Conditions” (unless waived by Investor in either case), the Company, in its sole discretion, may make redemption payments in cash or by the issuance of common stock. If the Company chooses to make redemption payment in cash, the cash payment is subject to a 25% premium. If the Company chooses to make the redemption payment in stock, the number of shares issuable shall be 70% (reduced to 65% if the conversion shares are not DTC eligible for a period of at least 5 days) multiplied by the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices in the previous twenty (20) trading days. Payments may be made in a combination of cash and stock.

Events of Default include the events set forth in Section 4.1 of the Note, and include, but are not limited to, failure to make timely payments, failure to deliver conversion shares, bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, failure to reserve required shares for issuance upon conversion, and failure to be DTC eligible.

Upon an Event of Default under the Note, Investor may accelerate the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and other amounts owing through the date of acceleration. In the event of such acceleration, the interest rate on the Note shall accrue at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

to the terms of the SPA the Company is required to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock, a minimum of 2,250,000 shares of common stock.

The foregoing summary description of the terms of the Transaction Documents may not contain all information that is of interest to the reader. For further information regarding the terms of the Transaction Documents, reference is made to such Transaction Documents, which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
