Convertible Notes
On November 5, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company issued Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (the “November 2020 Notes”). The November 2020 Notes are convertible at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of 9.99%).
The November 2020 Notes mature on May 5, 2021, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The terms of the July 2020 Notes are generally the same as the Company’s other Convertible Notes, except that the November 2020 Notes will be subject to mandatory conversion in the event of the completion of a future financing in the amount of at least $15 million at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the conversion price in effect for the November 2020 Notes on the date of completion of such financing or (ii) 75% of the lowest per share price at which common stock may be issued in connection with any conversion rights associated with the financing, in each case, subject to the beneficial ownership limitations described above.
