NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

December 15, 2021 Debenture

 

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “December 2021 SPA”) with an investor (the “December 2021 Investor”) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the December 2021 SPA, the December 2021 Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “December 2021 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $16,320,000. The December 2021 Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date 24 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note (the “Maturity Date”). The December 2021 Note carried an original issue discount totaling $1,300,000 and a transaction expense amount of $20,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the December 2021 Note. The December 2021 Note had $2,035,000 in debt issuance costs, including fees paid in cash of $1,095,000 and 3,000,000 warrants issued to placement agents with a fair value of $940.000. The warrant fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.32; a risk-free interest rate of 1.19%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 209.9%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%. The warrants were classified as a liability, as it is not known if there will be sufficient authorized shares to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the convertible debt.

 

Beginning on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the December 2021 Investor has the right to redeem up to $1,000,000 of the outstanding balance per month. Payments may be made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), per the following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equals 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the December 2021 Investor delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the December 2021 Note. The redemption amount shall include a premium of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the December 2021 Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $2,448,000, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount. In addition to the December 2021 Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the December 2021 Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.

 

Within 180 days of the issuance date of the December 2021 Note, the Company will obtain an effective registration statement or a supplement to any existing registration statement or prospectus with the SEC registering at least $15,000,000 in shares of Common Stock for the December 2021 Investor’s benefit such that any redemption using shares of Common Stock could be done using registered Common Stock. Additionally, as soon as reasonably possible following the issuance of the December 2021 Note, the Company will cause the Common Stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by March 1, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. On February 7, 2022, the Company and the December 2021 Investor entered into an amendment to the December 2021 SPA, which extended the date by which the Uplist must be completed to April 15, 2022. In consideration of the grant of the extension there was an extension fee of $249,079 added to the principal balance, which has been recognized as a financing cost in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement. Subsequently, the date by which the Uplist had to be completed was further extended to June 15, 2022, and again to November 15, 2022, with no additional fee included   . The Company will make a one-time payment to the December 2021 Investor equal to 15% of the gross proceeds the Company receives from the offering expected to be effected in connection with the Uplist (whether from the sale of shares of its Common Stock and / or preferred stock) within ten (10) days of receiving such amount. In the event the Company does not make this payment, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. In addition, the Company has 30 days in which to secure the December 2021 Note and grant the December 2021 Investor a first position security interest in the real property in Texas and Iowa, and if it is not effectuated within the 30 days the outstanding balance will be increased by 15%. The Company is required to reserve 65,000,000 shares of common stock from its authorized and unissued common stock and to add 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the Share Reserve on or before March 10, 2022.

 

The December 2021 Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include a failure to deliver conversion shares, the Company fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the December 2021 Investor’s written consent, the Company effectuates a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to the December 2021 Investor, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant, and, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any material. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the December 2021 Investor may consider the December 2021 Note immediately due and payable. Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the December 2021 Note increases from 5% to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is in full compliance with the covenants and Events of Default.

 

 

The conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and therefore requires bifurcation and was accounted for as a derivative liability. As of September 30, 2022 the fair value of the derivative is $30,028,000, with a change in fair value of $16,927,000 recognized in the six months ended September 30, 2022.
