Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fourth Amendment to Secured Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement

On July 14, 2023, Ideanomics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Secured Debenture Purchase Agreement, as previously amended (the “Fourth Amended SDPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”), and Timios Acquisition 1 LLC (together with YA II, collectively, the “Buyer”), which further amended the original Secured Debenture Agreement, and simultaneously consummated the sale to the Buyer of a new Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Fifth Debenture”) in a private placement pursuant to the SDPA for a purchase price of $1,850,000. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Amended SDPA and Fifth Debenture, the Company promises to pay to the Buyer $1,850,000 on November 1, 2023, (a) subject to earlier redemption at the Company’s option (upon payment of a redemption premium of 20% of the principal amount being redeemed or paid (the “Redemption Premium”)), and (b) subject to acceleration at the holder’s option upon an event of default described in the Fifth Debenture. The Company will also pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Fifth Debenture at a rate of 8% per annum, provided that such interest rate shall be increased to 18% upon an event of default.

If at any time the daily dollar volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) is less than 0.01 per share for five of any seven consecutive trading days (a “Triggering Event,” and the first day of each such day of each such occurrence, a “Triggering Date”), then the Company shall pay the entire outstanding balance of the Fifth Debenture within ten calendar days after the Triggering Date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the entire outstanding principal amount, (ii) the Redemption Premium thereon, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest.

Upon an event of default, the holder of the Fifth Debenture is entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding principle and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) $0.07 (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described in the Fifth Debenture) or (ii) 90% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, but not lower than $0.01. The Fifth Debenture contains a standard “buy-in” provision in the event that the Company fails to shares within three trading days after receipt of a notice of conversion, and a standard “blocker” provision that limits the right to convert any portion of the Fifth Debenture to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion he holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

$100,000 of the purchase price of the Fifth Debenture shall be retained by the Buyer until the Company has satisfied the Fifth Closing Post-Closing Obligations (as defined below), provided, however, that the Buyer shall retain the Fifth Closing Holdback Amount as liquidated damages (without any reduction in the principal amount of the Fifth Debenture or any change to the Buyer’s right to repayment in full thereunder) if the Company does not satisfy the Fifth Closing Post-Closing Obligations on or prior to July 20, 2023. “Fifth Closing Post-Closing Obligations” means the Company’s satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) delivery of documentation as required or otherwise requested by Buyer for it to obtain a first-priority perfected security interest in respect of the Company’s ownership in Via Motors, Inc., its domestic subsidiaries, and in all of their assets and (2) delivery of a collateral assignment, pursuant to which the Company shall collaterally assign to Buyer all rights of payment under any intercompany indebtedness of any subsidiary in favor of the Company.

The proceeds of the Fifth Debenture were used to pay fees due to Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C., the Company’s independent auditor, and to the Company’s legal counsel.

Also on July 14, 2023, the debentures previously issued under the Fourth Amended SDPA dated March 30, April 17 and May 1, 2023, in the outstanding principal amounts of $1,400,000, $750,000 and $1,730,000, respectively, were also amended to (a) add a Triggering Event repayment provision as described above and (b) add a provision giving the holder the right to convert the debenture into shares of Common Stock upon an event of default on the terms described above.

The foregoing are only summaries of the material terms of the Fourth Amended SDPA and the Fifth Debenture, and of the amendments to the other Debentures, and do not purport to be complete descriptions of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
