CONVERSION AGREEMENT

 

This CONVERSION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of August ___, 2015, by and between Ominto, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Ominto" or "Company"), and Michael Hansen ("Hansen”).

 

Recitals

 

A.           Hansen is the founder, former CEO and current director and majority shareholder (including the voting power of the Super Voting Preferred currently held by Hansen) of the Company.

 

B.           As of August 1, 2015, Hansen currently was owed in excess of $4.8 million by the Company. This includes $1.5 million of debt reflected in a promissory note which is due in December 2015, $2.6 million in advances and $735,000 in deferred salary. The Company is raising funds in a private placement to repay up to $2.5 million of its debt to Hansen.

 

C.           Hansen is willing to convert a portion of the remaining outstanding debt to common stock of the Company at the Company most recent private placement price (without consideration of any additional warrants issued to cash investors), which is US$0.10 per share of common stock.

 

IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, Hansen and Ominto agree as follows:

 

1.        Conversion of Debt. Hansen agrees to convert two million dollars ($2,000,000) of the Company's outstanding debt to common stock of Ominto, at a price of ten cents (US$0.10) per share. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to promptly issue twenty million (20,000,000) shares of its common stock to Hansen in exchange for the reduction of the Company's debt to Hansen in the amount of two million dollars (US$2,000,000). The shares of common stock issued to Hansen hereunder shall be referred to as the "Stock".

 

2.        Representations and Warranties of Hansen. Hansen represents and warrants to Ominto as follows:

 

2.1         Investment. The Stock is being acquired for investment for Hansen's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of all or any part thereof.

 

2.2         Not Registered. Hansen understands that the Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") or under any other applicable blue sky or state securities law, on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and the regulations thereunder and are exempt from qualification pursuant to comparable available exceptions in various states, and that Ominto's reliance on such exemptions is predicated on Hansen’s representations set forth herein.

 

 
 

 

2.3        Status. Hansen is a sophisticated investor (as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D) and an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and Hansen has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Stock. Hansen acknowledges that an investment in the Stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

 

2.4        Resale. Each Hansen represents that he or it (a) has liquid assets sufficient to assure that the purchase of the Stock will cause no undue financial difficulties, (b) can afford the complete loss of his or its investment, and (c) can provide for current needs and possible contingencies without the need to sell or dispose of the Stock.

 

2.5        Access to Information. Hansen represents and warrants that he (a)  is aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of Ominto; (b) has the requisite knowledge and experience to assess the relative merits and risks of a purchase of the Stock; (c) has received and has carefully read and evaluated copies of all documents relevant to the purchase and sale contemplated hereby, including without limitation this Agreement and the documents filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act"); and (d) has had full opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and concerning Ominto, its business and financial condition.

 

2.6        Risk Factors. Hansen has read and understands the Risk Factors which are included in the Company's most recent filings under the 34 Act (including the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2015), and hereby represents and warrants that in purchasing the Stock, Hansen is solely and fully undertaking the risk of investment in the Stock.

 

2.8        Legends. Each Stock certificate shall bear the following legends (unless Ominto receives an acceptable opinion of counsel that any such legend is not required):

 

    THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE LAWS, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS THEREOF.

 

2.9       Taxes. Hansen (a) understands that there may be tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership and/or sale of the Stock, and (b) represents and warrants that (i) he has had a full opportunity to seek the advice of independent counsel respecting this investment and the tax risks and implications thereof, (ii) he or it has not relied only upon such independent tax advice and not upon any tax counsel from, or discussions with, Ominto or Ominto's representatives, and (iii) he has never been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he is subject to 20% backup withholding.

 

2.10      Acknowledgment of Concurrent Offering. Hansen acknowledges that he has been informed that the Company may at its own discretion conduct further private placements of shares of its Common Stock for any higher or lower price than this offering, following and/or simultaneously to this offering.
