    Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     

    On January 26, 2024, Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a convertible promissory note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an Accredited Investor (the “Lender”), for a loan in the principal amount of One Million dollars ($1,000,000), the proceeds of which will be used by the Company for working capital purpose (the “Loan”).

     

    In connection with the Loan, the Company issued a one-year convertible promissory note evidencing the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 under the Loan, which accrues at a 12.0% simple interest rate per annum (the “Note”). The Note also provides the Investor a voluntary right to convert all, but not less than all, the Principal Amount (as defined in the Note) and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to a 10% discount to the 10-day VWAP as determined immediately before January 26, 2024 (the “Conversion Price”). In addition, upon such voluntary conversion by the Investor, the Investor will be entitled to a warrant for 50% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon the Note conversion at an exercise equal to 120% of the Conversion Price (the “Warrant”). In the event the Company consummates a public offering prior to the maturity date of the Note, the Note and accrued interest will be subject to a mandatory conversion into the equity securities of the Company issued and sold to investors in such public offering, equal to the price per share of the equity security sold to other purchasers and subject to similar terms and conditions of such public offering, except that such equity securities received under a mandatory conversion will be restricted securities.

     

    The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Note and Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, form of the Note and form of the Warrant, which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.3 and 4.1.

     

    Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     

    The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

     

    Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

     

    The information set forth under Item 1.01 in this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

     

    The issuance of the Note and the shares of common stock that may be issuable upon conversion of the Note (the “Securities”) were made to an accredited investor in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as provided in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offering of the Securities was not conducted in connection with a public offering, and no public solicitation nor advertisement was made or relied upon by the investor in connection with the offering.

     

    Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
