In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company also agreed to issue to the investors 1,901,916 five-year warrants (“Warrants”) which are exercisable at $2.75 per share (collectively, the “Offering”).
The Notes: (i) are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $5.85 per share, (ii) mature 24 months from the closing date, (iii) accrue an interest rate of 6% per annum, which may be paid on a quarterly basis in cash or freely tradable shares, (iv) contain a 4.99% beneficial ownership conversion blocker, and (v) are secured by all of the Company’s assets as collateral, except for Ethereum deposited as collateral for USDT borrowings on AAVE and certain other exclusions.
Mr. Charles Allen, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, invested $95,000 in the Offering. Additionally, a trust of which Mr. Allen is a beneficiary but is not the settlor or trustee invested $200,000 in the Offering.
