SURNA INC. (OTCMKTS:SRNA) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on
November 1, 2016, Surna Inc. (the Company) has been privately
negotiating with certain holders of certain 10% convertible
promissory notes (the Original Notes) and warrants (the Original
Warrants and together with the Original Notes, the Original
Securities) with a view to amending and converting the Original
Notes and amending the terms of the Original Warrants.
The Original Securities were issued as part of a unit (each unit
consisted of 250,000 shares of Common Stock, an Original Warrant
to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock and an Original Note in
the principal amount of $50,000) to investors participating in
the Companys private placement financing that completed closings
between October 31, 2014 and February 27, 2015. The Original
Notes mature and become payable two years from issuance.
As of December 6, 2016, the Company has entered into Note
Conversion and Warrant Amendment Agreements (each, an Agreement
and together, the Agreements) with each of 33 holders, to: (i)
amend the Original Note (each an Amended Note) to reduce the
conversion price of such holders Original Note and simultaneously
cause the conversion of the outstanding amount under such
Original Note into shares of Common Stock of the Company
(Conversion Shares); and (ii) reduce the exercise price of the
Original Warrant (each, an Amended Warrant and together with an
Amended Note, the Amendments). Each Agreement has been privately
negotiated so the terms may vary. to the Agreements, the Original
Notes have been amended to reflect a reduced conversion price per
share between $0.12 and $0.16. Additionally, to the
Agreements, certain Original Warrants
have been amended to reflect a reduced exercise price per share
of $0.35, with the exception of the first Agreement signed which
amended certain Original Warrants to reflect a reduced exercise
price of $0.15 per share.
to the Agreements, the Company has (i) converted Original Notes
with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately
$1,475,000, or approximately 60% of the total principal amount
under the Original Notes, (ii) issued 12,220,604 Conversion
Shares in connection with the conversion of such Original Notes
and (iii) amended 1,425,000 Original Warrants. All of the holders
party to the Note Conversion and Warrant Amendment Agreements
were accredited investors as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act).
In connection with the Amendments, the Company has also
negotiated with some of the holders a restriction that limits the
number of Conversion Shares a holder may sell, make any short
sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise
dispose of any of such shares issuable in connection with the
Amendments without the prior written consent of the Company for a
period of ninety (90) days after the date of such holders
Agreement.
The Company intends to negotiate with the remaining holders of
the Original Notes to convert the remaining $1,061,000 of
principal; however, it cannot make any assurance that it will be
successful in converting any more Original Notes.
The foregoing summary of the Agreements is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreements, a copy
of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Companys next
periodic report.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities.
The information provided above under Item 1.01 is incorporated by
reference under this Item 3.02.
The Conversion Shares and the Amended Warrants were issued in
reliance on exemptions from registration to Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder. These transactions qualified for exemption from
registration because among other things, the transactions did not
involve a public offering, each investor was an accredited
investor, each investor had access to information about the
Company and their investment, each investor took the securities
for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate
measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

the Note Conversion and Warrant Amendment Agreements. A copy of
the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

hereto, shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of

set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
