(the “Company”), on May 6, 2020, entered into note purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) in connection with the offering and sale of unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $1,087,500, before deducting referral fees payable to a FINRA-registered broker/dealer and other offering expenses in connection with the closing of a private placement offering.

 

On May 22, 2020, the Company consummated a final closing (the “Final Closing”) and entered into Purchase Agreements with additional accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company sold additional unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $830,000, before deducting referral fees payable to a FINRA-registered broker/dealer and other offering expenses in connection with the closing of a private placement offering.

 

The Notes, and the common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D (Rule 506) thereunder.

 

As a result of the Final Closing, the Company has to date sold Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,182,500 before deducting placement agent and other offering expenses.
