Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On March 17, 2011 and March 22, 2011, Global Investor Services Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Investment Agreements (the “Agreements”) with several accredited investors (the “Investors”) whereby the Investors provided the Company with an aggregate of $100,000 on March 17, 2011 and $65,000 on March 22, 2011 (the “Funding”) to be used for marketing purposes.

Under the Agreements, the Company is required to make payments to the Investors equal to a percentage of net revenue that varies between 20% to 50% of the Company’s net revenue generated from its marketing program commencing on the 61st day following closing continuing every 30 days through the 26 month following the closing.
 
In the event that the Company has not made payments equal to 50% of the Funding as of the 91st day after the Closing (the “Shortfall”) and each subsequent closing, then the Investor, at its sole option, may convert the Shortfall into shares of common stock of the Company by dividing the Shortfall by the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Option”). The Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying .50 by the closing bid price as reported by a reliable reporting service on the 91st day following the Closing and each subsequent closing.  The Conversion Option shall expire upon the earlier of the Company paying the Shortfall in full or the 301st day following the Closing and each subsequent closing.
 
In the event that the Company has not made payments equal to 100% of the Funding as of the 181st day after the Closing (the “Second Shortfall”) and each subsequent closing, then the Investor, at its sole option, may convert the Second Shortfall into shares of common stock of the Company by dividing the Second Shortfall by the Conversion Price (the “Second Conversion Option”). The Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying .50 by the closing bid price as reported by a reliable reporting service on the 181st day following the Closing and each subsequent closing.  The Second Conversion Option shall expire upon the earlier of the Company paying the Second Shortfall in full or the 301st day following the Closing and each subsequent closing.
 
The investment was offered and sold to the Investors in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and/or Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investors are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

In addition, the Company compensated HFP Capital Markets LLC for assisting in the sale of the investment by paying it commissions in the amount of $16,500.

The foregoing information is a summary of each of the agreements involved in the transactions described above, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, each of which is attached an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Readers should review those agreements for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.
