Ginger Capital Investment
In conjunction with the requirement of Ginger Capital to
capitalize the joint venture enterprise, affiliates of Ginger
Capital collectively invested or committed to invest $500,000 in
the Company on May 23, 2016, and the Company issued or will issue
to such affiliates of Ginger Capital convertible promissory notes
(collectively, the Note) and three-year common stock purchase
warrants (collectively, the Warrant).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the investment
for the Companys working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum, payable
at the earlier of the one year anniversary of the Note and the
consummation of a qualified financing, as defined in the Note
(the Maturity Date).
Upon an equity or equity-linked round of financing of the Company
that raises gross proceeds of $3,000,000 or more (New Round
Stock), the outstanding principal and accrued interest (the
Outstanding Balance) shall convert into New Round Stock based
upon the lesser of: (i) $0.50 per New Round Stock and (ii) the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Outstanding Balance on the
conversion date multiplied by 1.10 by (y) the actual price per
New Round Stock in the Qualified Financing.
Upon the Maturity Date, Ginger Capital shall further be issued
the Warrant, exercisable into a number of shares of the Companys
common stock equal to (i) in the case of the conversion of the
Note, 25% of the number of shares issued upon conversion and (ii)
in the case of the repayment of the Note in cash, the number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
the Outstanding Balance by 4. The exercise price per share is
$.60.
The Note contains customary events of default, which, if uncured,
entitle Ginger Capital to accelerate the due date of the unpaid
principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the
Note.
The issuance of the Note and the Warrant will not be registered
under the Securities Act. The Company relied upon the exemption
from securities registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not
involving a public offering.
