On February 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain purchasers (the "Purchasers") relating to the issuance and sale (the "Offering") of (i) 12% Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), that are convertible into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) warrants (the "Warrants") to acquire shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's common stock pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The purchase of the Notes occurred in three (3) tranches (each, a "Tranche", and, collectively, the "Tranches"), with the first Tranche of $750,000 closing simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The second tranche of $450,000 closed on April 6, 2015. The third and final tranche of $450,000 closed on May 12, 2015. The Company did not close on the remaining three (3) tranches.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties. The Purchasers were granted customary participation rights in future financings. The Purchase Agreement also limits the Company's ability to engage in subsequent equity sales for a certain period of time.

 

The proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used for general corporate proceeds and cannot be used: (i) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company's business and prior practices), (ii) for the redemption of the Company's common stock or common stock equivalents, (iii) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation, or (iv) in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

 

The Offering is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (in that the Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares were sold by us in a transaction not involving any public offering) and pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares are restricted securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act, and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
