RECITALS:
A.WHEREAS, Hall alleges that on December 30, 2015, Hall and MoneyOnMobile entered into a Share Purchase Agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") under which Hall acquired from MoneyOnMobile certain shares of Digital Payments Processing Limited ("DPPL") and My Mobile Payments, Limited ("MMPL") ("Sale Shares").
B.WHEREAS, Hall alleges that on December 30, 2015, Hall and MoneyOnM0bile entered into an Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement").
C.WHEREAS, Hall alleges, pursuant to the Option Agreement, Hall was granted the right to purchase from MoneyOnMobile its entire shareholding in MMPL and up to 15% of DPPL or sell Sale Shares to MoneyOnMobile. The option to sell the Sale Shares to MoneyOnMobile was triggered if DPPL failed to raise $5,000,000 from a third party at any time on or before March l, 2016. DPPL failed to raise the $5,000,000 by March l , 2016.
D.WHEREAS, Hall alleges that on March 15, 2016, Hall sent MoneyOnMobile a letter exercising its option under Section of the Option Agreement to sell the Sale Shares to MoneyOnMobile for $3,000,000 ("Option Letter").
E.WHEREAS, Hall alleges, pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement,
MoneyOnMobile had 120 days or until July 13, 2016, to pay to Hall the purchase price of $3,000,000. MoneyOnMobile failed to pay the Purchase Price to Hall on or before July 13, 2016.
F.WHEREAS, Hall alleges that it subsequently agreed to grant an extension of time for MoneyOnMobile to pay the Purchase Price. Hall agreed to extend the deadline to August 1 3, 2016 upon the timely payment of $100,000 and to September 12, 2016, upon the timely payment of an additional $200,000. The extension fees were not a reduction of the Purchase Price. MoneyOnMobile paid both extension fees and thereby extended the deadline to pay the Purchase Price until September 12, 2016. However, MoneyOnMobile failed to pay the Purchase Price by September 12, 2016, and has not paid the Purchase Price to this date. Hall offered MoneyOnMobile an additional extension until October 13, 2016, if MoneyOnMobile paid the required extension fee but MoneyOnMobile failed to pay the extension fee.
G.WHEREAS, Hall alleges that it has at all times been ready, willing, and able to convey to MoneyOnMobile the Sale Shares and remains ready, willing, and able to do so upon receipt of the Purchase Price.
