As previously reported, on May 17, 2017, Helix TCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), RSF4, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), and Helix Opportunities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Helix LLC” and, together with the Company and the Purchaser, the “Parties”) entered into that certain Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Initial Series B Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company conducted an initial closing of the sale of its Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) to Purchaser. In accordance with the terms of the Initial Series B Purchase Agreement, the Parties also entered into (i) an Investors Rights Agreement, (ii) a Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, and (iii) a Voting Agreement (collectively, the “Series B Financing Agreements”). The Series B Financing Agreements contemplate additional closings, two of which have been previously reported on the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Effective September 15, 2017, the Parties entered into that certain Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Fourth Series B Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company conducted a fourth closing of the sale of its Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and issued and sold to the Purchaser 462,195 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for an aggregate cash payment equal to $150,000.00 (the “Fourth Series B Closing”). to the Fourth Series B Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser expressly waived the satisfaction of any and all terms and conditions contained in the Series B Financing Agreements as they relate to the Fourth Series B Closing .
The foregoing descriptions of the Initial Series B Purchase Agreement and the Fourth Series B Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the forms of such documents, which are attached as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
These securities were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2)of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the Investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since they agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
On September 15, 2017, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Class A Preferred Convertible Super Majority Voting Stock, $0.001 Par Value Per Share with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Amended Certificate”), which restates the designations, powers, rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions of the Company’s Class A Preferred Convertible Super Majority Voting Stock by, among other things, renaming such preferred the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”). Shares of Series A Preferred are convertible into the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at the holder’s option at any time after May 17, 2017 and automatically convert into Common Stock at any time after May 17, 2017 upon either the affirmative vote of a majority of Series A Preferred holders or a “Qualified Initial Public Offering” of the Company’s securities, as defined in the Amended Certificate.
The number of shares of the Common Stock to which a holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Preferred Conversion Rate, as defined below, then in effect by the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock being converted. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained dividing the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price (as defined in the Amended Certificate) by the Preferred Stock Conversion Price which shall initially be equal to the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price, for an effective initial conversion ratio equal to 1:1, subject to adjustment.
The Series A Preferred shall vote together with the Common Stock and all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the stockholders of the Company including, but not limited to, actions amending the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock. Each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Common Stock into which such shares of the Series A Preferred are then convertible. For so long as any the shares of the Series A Preferred remain outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred, voting or consenting together as a separate class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating certain transactions as further described in the Amended Certificate.
Additionally, the Series A Preferred holders may elect a Director to sit on the Company’s Board of Directors. Currently, the Series A Preferred are held by Helix LLC, an entity owned 50% by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Zachary Venegas and a director of the Company, Scott Ogur.
The foregoing description of the Amended Certificate does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the forms of the Amended Certificate, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
