Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


The descriptions of the Program Agreement and Guaranty Letter in “Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant” of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 1.01.


Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.


On December 16, 2019,  AirFox Servicos e  Intermediacões LTDA (“Airfox Brazil”), a 99.99% owned subsidiary of CarrierEQ, Inc. d/b/a Airfox (“Airfox”) received R$65,000,000 (approximately U.S.$15,973,857) from Mastercard Brasil Soluções de Pagamento Digital  Ltda. (“Mastercard Brasil) pursuant to a Strategic Alliance and Incentive Program Agreement (the “Program Agreement”) entered into between Airfox Brazil, Mastercard Brasil and Via Varejo S.A. (“Via Varejo”) on June 12, 2019.


Pursuant to the Program Agreement, Airfox Brazil, as a licensee of MasterCard International, Inc. and a business partner of Mastercard Brasil, entered into the Incentive Program (as defined in the Program Agreement) in order to issue, expand and boost the prepaid card (“Airfox Card”) base of Airfox Brazil as well as the number of transactions and turnover (sales revenue) generated by MasterCard Cards. As an incentive to support the launching of Airfox Card, on December 16, 2019 Mastercard Brasil made to Airfox Brazil the incentive prepayment per sales revenue ("Sales Revenue Incentive Prepayment") totaling R$65,000,000.   


As a Mastercard prepaid debt card issuer, Airfox Brazil will be entitled to receive Sales Revenue Incentive pursuant to the Program Agreement. As a result, the Sales Revenue Incentive will be used to amortize the Sales Revenue Incentive Prepayment received on December 11, 2019. Upon complete amortization of Incentive Prepayment, Mastercard will make quarterly payments of the Sales Revenue Incentive, calculated according to the value of transactions completed with the prepaid debit cards issued by the Airfox Brazil. Airfox Brazil will have no minimum commitment of transaction volumes to be completed with the prepaid cards.  


The Sales Revenue Incentive Prepayment constitutes the creation of a direct financial obligation on Airfox Brazil since it constitutes prepaid sales revenue from Mastercard Brasil to Airfox Brazil.. Via Varejo has agreed to act as a guarantor of Airfox Brazil’s Sales Revenue Incentive Prepayment obligations to Mastercard Brasil pursuant to the Program Agreement and a Guaranty Letter.


The foregoing description of the Program Agreement and Guaranty Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Program Agreement and Guaranty Letter,   copies of which are filed as  Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
