| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Stock Purchase Agreement with GHS Investments LLC
On December 5, 2022, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”). Under the stock purchase agreement with GHS (the “GHS Purchase Agreement”), the Company may require GHS to purchase up to ten million dollars ($10,000,000) of shares of common stock (“GHS Purchase Shares”) over a two-year term that ends on December 5, 2024.
The GHS Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the agreement, the Company has the right from time to time during the term of the agreement, in its sole discretion, to deliver to GHS on a specified day (the “Purchase Date”) a purchase notice (a “Purchase Notice”) directing GHS to purchase (each, a “GHS Purchase”) a specified number of GHS Purchase Shares (a “Purchase Amount”) at the applicable purchase price (the “GHS Purchase Price”). A GHS Purchase will be made in a minimum amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) and up to a maximum of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the average daily traded volume for the common stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the Purchase Date if the lowest traded price for the common stock during the Valuation Period is below $0.01001 per share; (b) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the average daily traded volume for the common stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the Purchase Date if the lowest traded price for the common stock during the Valuation Period is equal to or above $0.01001 per share; and (c) three million dollars ($3,000,000).
The GHS Purchase Price per share of common stock will be set at ninety percent (90%) of the lowest volume weighted average price for the common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately before the date of a Purchase Notice (the “Valuation Period’). On the first trading day after the last day of the relevant Valuation Period, the Company will cause to be delivered to GHS that number of shares of common stock that equal one hundred twelve and one-half percent (112.5%) of the aggregate Purchase Amount specified in the Purchase Notice divided by the GHS Purchase Price per share.
If the issuance of the GHS Purchase Shares as the result of a Purchase Notice would cause the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock to exceed six billion (6,000,000,000) shares, the issuance of those shares would be delayed to allow the Company to amend its Articles of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares. The GHS Purchase Shares would be immediately issued following the effective date of any such amendment.
The GHS Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from directing GHS to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by GHS and its affiliates, would result in GHS and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock.
There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the GHS Purchase Agreement. We will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to GHS.
Events of default under the GHS Purchase Agreement include the following:
| ● | the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of the GHS Purchase Shares lapses for any reason; |
| ● | the common stock is suspended from trading on the OTC Pink for a period of two consecutive trading days, during which time the Company may not direct GHS to purchase any shares during that time;
| |
| ● | the common stock is delisted from the OTC Pink provided, however, that the commons stock is not immediately thereafter trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, or the OTCQB or the OTCQX operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or any nationally recognized successor to any of the foregoing); |
| ● | the failure for any reason by the transfer agent to issue GHS Purchase Shares to GHS within three (3) business days after the date on which GHS was entitled to receive the shares; |
| ● | the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition under the GHS Purchase Agreement, its Schedules, or any related document if the breach could have a material adverse effect and except, in the case of a breach of a covenant that is reasonably curable, only if the breach continues for a period of at least five (5) Business Days; |
| ● | a proceeding against the Company is commenced by any person or entity pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law; |
| ● | the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law, (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due; |
| ● | a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any bankruptcy law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company; or |
| ● | if at any time the Company is not eligible to transfer its common stock electronically as DWAC Eligible. |
So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall not deliver to the Investor any Purchase Notice.
