NOTE 6 – RESTRUCTURED AUGUST NOTE PAYABLE

 

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on August 17, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $5,433,333. The Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date nine months from the issuance date of the Note. The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $433,333 and a transaction expense amount of $10,000, both of which are included in the principal balance of the Note. On the closing date the Company received $1,100,000, with $3,900,000 put into escrow to be held until certain terms were to be met, which included $3,400,000 upon the completion of a successful uplist to NYSE or NASDAQ. The SPA includes a Security Agreement, whereby the note is secured by the collateral set forth in the agreement, covering all of the assets of the Company. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the note, including upon repayment of this Note at maturity, shall be subject to an exit fee 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 Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $816,500, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount.

 

As soon as reasonably possible, 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 November 15, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 10%. Following the Uplist, while the Note is still outstanding, ten days after the Company may have a sale of any of its shares of common stock or preferred stock, there shall be a Mandatory Prepayment equal to the greater of $3,000,000 or thirty-three percent of the gross proceeds of the equity sale.

 

 

In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 11), on November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “August Note”), through which the August Note was amended and restated in its entirety. The Restructured August Note decreased the principal to $1,748,667, less an OID of $138,667, and the amount in escrow was returned to the investor, The Restructuring Agreement included key modifications, in which i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) in the event that the closing of the Merger does not occur on or before December 31, 2022, the then-current Outstanding Balance will be increased by 2% and shall increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”). The Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June 30, 2023, in the amount of approximately $272,000. On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of the Merger Agreement. (See Note 12)

 

The Restructured August Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument was evaluated to be a substantial change, as over 10% difference from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $1,933,000, there was a loss in extinguishment of approximately $157,000. As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the August Note will be accounted for at fair value until they are settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the provisions in the August Note were not evaluated as to if they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The August Note was revalued as of June 30, 2023 at approximately $2,590,000, with a change in fair value of approximately $190,000 recognized in the Statement of Operations. The August Note was revalued as of March 31, 2023 at approximately $2,400,000, with a change in fair value of approximately $467,000. As of June 30, 2023, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is included in the fair value is approximately $203,000.
