Item 1.01. |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On
November 11, 2019, Better Choice Company Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into two subscription agreements (the
“Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the
“Purchasers”), pursuant to which the
Company, in a private placement (the
“Private Placement”), agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers 10.00% subordinated convertible notes (each, a
“Note” and collectively, the
“Notes”) and warrants (each, a
“Warrant” and collectively, the
“Warrants”) to purchase shares of
the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (
“Common Stock”).
The closing (the
“Closing”) of the Private Placement was consummated on
November 11, 2019, and, on that date,
the Company issued Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,750,000 to the Purchasers.
The Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the transactions to finance the acquisition of Halo, Purely For Pets, Inc.
Notes
The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 10.00% per annum, payable on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning on
March 31, 2020, and require
the Company to repay the principal and accrued
and unpaid interest thereon on
November 4, 2021 (the
“Maturity Date”). One half of each interest payment is payable in cash and one half is payable in pay-in-kind interest.
The Notes are due and payable in Common Stock on the earlier of (i) automatic conversion of the Convertible Notes upon the listing of
the Company’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ, NYSE or other national securities
exchange whether through a firm commitment underwritten public offering by
the Company of shares of common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”) or other uplist
transaction permitted by the applicable exchange (
“IPO”) or (ii) the Maturity Date. The Purchasers are entitled to an additional number of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share upon conversion (i) equal to 10% of the
number of shares of Common Stock originally issuable upon conversion if
the Company has not completed an IPO by
March 31, 2020 or (ii) equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock originally issuable upon conversion if
the Company has not
completed an IPO by
June 30, 2020.
Upon any Change in Control (as defined in the Notes), each Purchaser will have the option to either (i) convert all of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Purchaser into a replacement note
issued by the new issuer resulting from the Change in Control in an aggregate principal amount equal to (a) 104% of the outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such Purchaser plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest or (ii) convert all of the
principal and accrued interest under the Notes into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) all principal and accrued interest under the Notes being so converted, divided by (b) the price equal to the lower of $4.00 per
share or the price at which
the Company’s Common stock was sold in an IPO (the
“Conversion Price”).
Each Purchaser may at any time prior to the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date elect to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest under the Notes into that number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) all principal accrued interest under the notes being so converted, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price.
Warrants
The Warrants were granted on a one-to-62.5 basis (one Warrant for each 62.5 shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible). The Warrants are exercisable for 24 months from the date of the
consummation of an IPO at an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) $5.00 per share or (ii) the price at which the Common Stock was sold in the IPO.
In connection with the Private Placement,
the Company agreed to enter into two registration
rights agreements (the
“Registration Rights Agreements”) with the Purchasers, to be effective as of the Closing. Pursuant to
the Registration
Rights Agreement,
the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement (the
“Resale Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of registering the resale of the Notes and the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by
February 14, 2020.
The Company also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the selling holders from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses incident to
the Company’s
performance of or compliance with the Registration
Rights Agreement.
The foregoing summary descriptions of the Registration
Rights Agreements, Subscription Agreements, the Notes and the Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
forms of the Note, the Warrant, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, which are attached as
Exhibit 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 10.1 hereto, respectively, and
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
|
Pursuant to the Private Placement described in Item 1.01 above, which description is hereby
incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02,
the Company has agreed to sell the Notes and the Warrants issued in the
Private Placement to the Subscribers, all of whom are accredited investors, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each of the Purchasers
represented to
the Company in the Subscription Agreements that it is an
“accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell, the solicitation of an offer
to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
