MONAKER GROUP, INC. (OTCMKTS:MKGI) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01

On April 3, 2020, Monaker Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (the “Lender”), to which the Company sold the Lender a Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $895,000 (the “Note”). The Lender paid consideration of $800,000 for the Note, which included an original issue discount of $80,000 and reimbursement of the Lender’s transaction expenses of $15,000.

The Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures 12 months after its issuance date (i.e., on April 3, 2021). From time to time, beginning six months after issuance, the Lender may redeem a portion of the Note, not to exceed an amount of $200,000 per month. In the event we don’t pay the amount of any requested redemption within three trading days, an amount equal to 25% of such redemption amount is added to the outstanding balance of the Note. Under certain circumstances the Company may defer the redemption payments up to three times, for a duration of 30 days each, provided that upon each such deferral the outstanding balance of the Note is increased by 2%. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Note at any time subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 15% of the amount of the outstanding balance to be prepaid. For so long as the Note remains outstanding, the Company has agreed to pay to the Lender 20% of the gross proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock, which payments will be applied towards and will reduce the outstanding balance of the Note, which percentage increases to 30% upon the occurrence of, and continuance of, an event of default under the Note (each an “Equity Payment”). Each time that we fail to pay an Equity Payment, the outstanding balance of the Note automatically increases by 10%. Additionally, in the event we fail to timely pay any such Equity Payment, the Lender may seek an injunction which would prevent us from issuing common or preferred stock until or unless we pay such Equity Payment.

to the Note, we provided the Lender a right of first refusal to purchase any promissory note, debenture or other debt instrument which we propose to sell, other than sales to officers or directors of the Company and/or sales to the government. Each time, if ever, that we provide the Lender such right, and the Lender does not exercise such right to provide such funding, the outstanding balance of the Note increases by 3%. Each time, if ever, that we fail to comply with the terms of the right of first refusal, the outstanding balance of the Note increases by 10%.

Additionally, upon each major default described in the Note (i.e., the failure to pay amounts under the Note when due or to observe any covenant under the Note Purchase Agreement (other than the requirement to make Equity Payments)) the outstanding balance of the Note automatically increases by 15%, and for each other default, the outstanding balance of the Note automatically increases by 5%, provided such increase can only occur three times each as to major defaults and minor defaults, and that such aggregate increase cannot exceed 30% of the balance of the Note immediately prior to the first event of default.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note, the Company has entered into a Security Agreement with the Lender (the “Security Agreement”), to which the obligations of the Company are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to the priority lien and security interest of National Bank (as defined below) which secures amounts due under its $1.2 million line of credit.

The Note Purchase Agreement and the Note contain customary events of default. As described in the Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the outstanding balance of the Note will become automatically due and payable, and upon the occurrence of other events of default, the Lender may declare the outstanding balance of the Note immediately due and payable at such time or at any time thereafter. After the occurrence of an event of default (and upon written notice from Lender), interest on the Note will accrue at a rate of 22% per annum, or such lesser rate as permitted under applicable law. The Note Purchase Agreement prohibits the Lender from shorting our stock through the period that the Lender holds the Note.

The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of the Lender and its affiliates in the event that they incur loss or damage related to, among other things, a breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Purchase Agreement.

The Company engaged Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC to serve as placement agent for the transaction between the Company and the Lender in exchange for a commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Note.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Note for general working capital purposes.

The description of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, to the extent required by this Item 2.03, is incorporated herein by reference.

Although a formal extension agreement has not been entered into to date, the Company has been in discussions with National Bank of Commerce (“National Bank”) regarding an extension of the $1.2 million line of credit the Company maintains with National Bank. National Bank has notified the Company that, subject to the parties agreeing on, and entering into, definitive documentation, it is willing to extend the due date of the line of credit from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020, in consideration for an increase in the interest rate of such line of credit from prime plus 1%, to prime plus 3%, subject to a floor of 4.5%. Notwithstanding National Bank’s indication of its agreement to the extension, nothing is final or binding until the parties enter into formal documentation, which may not be finalized on the terms described above, if at all. The Company does not anticipate entering into formal extension and modification documents with National Bank for several weeks as a result of the global disruptions caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus.
