Effective as of June 23, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), GT Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the previously disclosed Standstill and Forbearance Agreements (collectively, the “Forbearance Agreements”) with the holders of $13.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes and debentures (collectively, the “Default Notes”), which are currently in default. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements, the holders of the Default Notes have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Default Notes (including declaring such Default Notes (together with any default amounts and accrued and unpaid interest) immediately due and payable) until the earlier of (i) the date that the Company completes a subsequent capital raise in the amount of $15 million and, in connection therewith, commences listing on NASDAQ (collectively, the “New Financing”) or (ii) October 1, 2020 (the “Termination Date”).

 

The obligations of the holders to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Default Notes pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements will terminate on the earliest of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the date of any bankruptcy filing by the Company or its subsidiaries, (iii) the date on which the Company defaults on any of the terms and conditions of the Forbearance Agreements or (iv) the date the Forbearance Agreements are otherwise terminated or expire.

 

The Forbearance Agreements contain various customary and other representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the holders of the Default Notes, including an agreement that the Default Notes (together with any default amounts and accrued and unpaid interest) will be converted into the Company’s common stock upon the closing of a New Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the conversion price in effect for the Default Notes on the date of such New Financing or (ii) 75% of the lowest per share price at which Common Stock is or may be issued in connection with such New Financing, in each case, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of 9.9%). Shares of the Company’s Series J-1 preferred stock, which are convertible into the Company’s common stock, will be issued in lieu of common stock to the extent that conversion of the Default Notes is prohibited by such beneficial ownership limitations.

 

In addition, to the extent that any holders of the Default Notes also hold warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, the exercise price, number of underlying shares and expiration date of such warrants will also be subject to adjustment upon closing of a New Financing in accordance with the terms of the Forbearance Agreements.

 

The foregoing description of the Forbearance Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Forbearance Agreement attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The Company has entered into a Forbearance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 with 24 holders of the Default Notes.
