Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 6, 2024 and on November 13, 2024, The Coretec Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which Agreement the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser in a private placement, an aggregate of 73,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series D Preferred Shares”), stated value $100 per share, each of which is convertible into shares of common stock (the “Conversion Shares”), par value $0.0002 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at affixed conversion price of $0.015 per Conversion Share. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has purchased an aggregate of 73,000 Series D Preferred Shares initially convertible into an aggregate of 486,666,666 Conversion Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $7,300,000. The Purchaser will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series D Preferred Shares if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Additionally, holders of Series D Preferred Shares may elect to exchange their shares for shares of a third-party company, in the event the Company completes an acquisition of shares in a third party company, which may be publicly traded outside U.S markets. The exchange rate for any such transaction would be determined based on the terms and conditions set forth in the certificate of designations for the Series D Preferred Shares. For a description of the terms of the Series D Preferred Shares, see Item 5.03 below.

 

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchaser and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Agreement, and such representations and warranties should not be relied on by any other person.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is permitted to conduct multiple closings for the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock. Following the initial closing, which occurred on November 6, 2024, the Company conducted a subsequent closing on November 13, 2024 (the “Subsequent Closing”) and may conduct additional closings until the termination of the offering. The offering of the Series D Preferred Shares is expected to remain open until March 31, 2025, subject to an extension of up to 45 days at the Company’s discretion. In total, no more than 150,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be sold across the initial and any subsequent closings. The information provide herein shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company.

 

The Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The description of the terms of the Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit, and which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

The Coretec Group, Inc. 333 Jackson Plaza, STE 460 Ann Arbor, MI

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

1. Subscription. The undersigned (the “Purchaser”) by execution of this Subscription Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from The Coretec Group, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”) the number of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0002 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), set forth on the signature page hereto at a purchase price equal to $100.00 per Share, for the aggregate subscription price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible at a fixed conversion price equal to $0.015 pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designations, and subject to any further adjustment(s) set forth therein. The rights, limitations and preferences of the Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit B, including the right of the holder to convert such Shares into the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0002 per share (the “Common Stock”), or exchange for certain securities of a third party that the Company intends to acquire using a portion of the proceeds from this offering. The Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be collectively referred to as the “Securities” throughout this Subscription Agreement.

 

If this subscription is accepted, the Company will signify such acceptance by executing counterparts of this Subscription Agreement and causing one such mutually executed counterpart to be returned to the undersigned. This subscription is submitted to you in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement and all attachments, schedules and exhibits hereto (collectively, the “Subscription Agreement”), including but not limited to the risk factors (“Risk Factors”) set forth on Schedule I hereto, relating to the offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of up to a maximum of 150,000 Shares (the “Maximum Offering Amount”).

 

The offering price of the Shares and the provisions for (i) conversion of the Shares into Common Stock; or (ii) exchange of Shares into third party securities hereinafter acquired by the Company have been unilaterally determined by the Company and is not based on its assets or earnings. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company does not have sufficient authorized capital to issue Common Stock upon conversion of the Shares. Furthermore, the ability to adjust the Company’s capitalization in order to create sufficient capital stock for the conversion of the Shares will depend on a variety of corporate actions, including but not limited to obtaining sufficient shareholder approval, timely filed all of the Company’s required filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and approval by applicable regulatory authorities. Purchaser also acknowledges that the Company may not be able to successfully acquire third party securities or in sufficient quantities to allow for the full exchange of Shares or that such exchange may be lawfully completed under applicable regulatory requirements.

 

By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges that this is an unregistered offering of restricted securities, which securities, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements, may be sold in accordance with Rule 144. Rule 144 requires at least a six month holding period before the Securities can be publicly traded (which holding period could be significantly longer in the event the Company’s public filings are not “current,” as required under Rule 144). Although the Company is currently a reporting issuer in the United States, there is no assurance that it will remain a reporting issuer and/or remain in compliance with all requirements, including without limitation the timely filing of its periodic reports, that allow for Purchasers to transfer restricted securities of the Company in reliance upon Rule 144 or any other exemption to the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Purchasers further acknowledge that the Company faces a due date for filing significant financial reporting requirements in connection with the transactions consummated on August 21, 2024, as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 22, 2024. The failure to file such financial reports would constitute a failure to remain “current,” as required under Rule 144, and may compromise or preclude the availability of Rule 144 for resale of the Shares or Common Stock underlying the Shares.

 

 

Purchaser acknowledges that the net proceeds of this Offering will be applied to purposes as described in Schedule II hereto. The Company’s management will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. There can be no assurance that management’s use of proceeds generated through this Offering will prove optimal or translate into revenue or profitability for the Company. Purchasers are urged to consult with their attorneys, accountants and personal investment advisors prior to making any decision to invest in the Company and to carefully review, with the assistance of their attorneys, accountants and personal investment advisors, the Risk Factors set forth on Schedule I hereto, all of the Company’s public filings and the effects of the Common Stock Offering on Purchasers’ investment in the Securities.

 

2. Payment. The undersigned shall cause the Purchase Price to be delivered to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account identified in writing by the Company’s management prior to any Closing. Funds delivered to the Company will be returned promptly, without interest or offset, if (i) this Subscription Agreement is not accepted by the Company, or (ii) the Offering is terminated prior to the Company accepting this Subscription Agreement. Together with the undersigned’s payment of the Purchase Price, the undersigned is delivering a properly completed and executed investor questionnaire (“Accredited Investor Certification”), a form of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

 

3. Closing.

 

(a) Closing. Following the Company’s receipt of subscriptions for the Shares and the Company’s acceptance of such subscriptions, a closing will occur to effect the purchase and sale of such Shares (the “Closing”).

 

(b) Subsequent Closings. The Company may continue to offer and accept subscriptions for the Shares and conduct additional closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) for the sale of such Shares after the Closing and until the termination of the Offering. Unless earlier terminated, this Offering will continue until March 31, 2025, unless the Company, in its sole discretion and without notice to Purchasers, extends the offering termination date for up to an additional 45 days. There may be more than one Subsequent Closing; provided, however, that the final Subsequent Closing shall take place no later than March 31, 2025 (or up to 45 days thereafter if the Company extends the termination date). The date of any subsequent closing is referred to as a “Subsequent Closing Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than 150,000 Shares will be sold in aggregate, at the Closing and all Subsequent Closings.

 

The Closing and any applicable Subsequent Closings are each referred to in this Subscription Agreement as a “Closing.” The Closing Date and any Subsequent Closing Dates are sometimes referred to herein as a “Closing Date.”

 

(c) Closing Deliveries. At or within 10 business days of each Closing, the Company shall deliver or make available to the Purchaser evidence of the book-entry recordation representing the Shares due to such Purchaser against the Purchaser’s Purchase Price.

 

4. Acceptance of Subscription. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for the Shares, in whole or in part. The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement. If this subscription is rejected in whole or the Offering of Shares is terminated, all funds received from the Purchaser will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

 

 

5. Company’s Right to Redeem. After the first (1st) anniversary of the issuance of the Shares (or earlier upon mutual consent of the Company and the holder), the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to redeem any or all outstanding Shares of Preferred Stock. The Company may exercise this option, including in connection with or simultaneously with an offering, by providing the holder with notice as set forth below.

 

5.1

Notice Requirement and Conversion Option.

 

(a) Standard Notice Period: The Issuer shall provide each holder of Preferred Stock at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) of its election to redeem shares of Preferred Stock;

 

(b) Offering-Related Redemption: If the Issuer intends to redeem shares of Preferred Stock in connection with or simultaneously with an offering, the Issuer shall only be required to provide reasonable prior notice of its election to redeem, rather than the 15-day notice period.

 

5.2

Holder’s Right to Convert or Exchange During Notice Period.

 

During the notice period, holders of Shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right, at their discretion, to exercise their option to convert or exchange the Preferred Stock into common stock of the Issuer or other eligible securities as outlined in the terms of the Preferred Stock. This right may be exercised by the holder at any time before the redemption becomes effective.

 

5.3

Redemption Price

 

The redemption price and other applicable terms of redemption shall be as specified in the Certificate of Designation or other governing documents for the Shares.

 

6. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.

 

The Purchaser as of the date hereof, and as of each Closing Date, acknowledges, represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:

 

(a) None of the Securities offered pursuant to this Subscription Agreement are registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) or Regulation S (“Regulation S”) as promulgated by the SEC thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser is a Non-U.S. Person (a “Reg S Person”) and intends to rely upon Regulation S, such Purchaser hereby represents that the representations contained in paragraphs (i) through (viii) of this Section 6(a) are true and correct with respect to such Purchaser:

 

(i) (A) the issuance and sale to such Reg S Person of the Securities is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S; (B) it is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person; and (C) the offer and sale of the Securities has not taken place, and is not taking place, within the United States of America or its territories or possessions. Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Securities has taken place, and is taking place in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S.

Such Reg S Person acknowledges that it has not engaged in any hedging transactions with regard to the Securities.

 

(iii) Such Reg S Person consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Securities and understands that the Company shall be required to refuse to register any transfer of securities not made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws.

 

(iv) Such Reg S Person is not a “distributor” of securities, as that term is defined in Regulation S, nor a dealer in securities.

(vi) Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the Securities may only be sold offshore in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available.

(vii) The Purchaser has not acquired the Securities as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in the United States in respect of the Securities which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Securities; provided, however, that the Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities pursuant to registration thereof under the Securities Act and any applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements;

 

(viii) Such Reg S Person makes the representations, declarations and warranties as contained in this Section 6(a)(i)-(viii) with the intent that the same shall be relied upon by the Company in determining its suitability as a purchaser of such Securities.

(j) The Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Securities, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisers;

 

(k) The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities solely for such Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or intent of resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part. The Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Securities, and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement;

 

(l) The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Securities indefinitely because none of the Securities may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Securities to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock books. Appropriate notations will be made in the Company’s stock books to the effect that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti- money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs;

(dd) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company presently lacks a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to accommodate the full conversion of the Shares of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Purchaser agrees that no conversion of the Shares may occur until the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to facilitate full conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock, including any other series of issued and outstanding preferred stock convertible into Common Stock. The Purchaser acknowledges that in the event of insufficient authorized Common Stock, conversion rights will be delayed and may only be exercised once adequate authorized shares of Common Stock become available, whether through a Capitalization Adjustment or other corporate action. “Capitalization Adjustment” means any corporate action that has the effect of allowing the Issuer to issue, on a fully diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock into which all of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock are convertible.

The Company represents that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. However, due to complexities resulting from recent corporate transactions, including the share exchange, there is a risk that certain future filings may not be timely. Please refer to the Risk Factors set forth on Schedule I for further information.

 

In the event of any delayed filings, the Company will take all reasonable steps to rectify its reporting status and maintain its “current” reporting status with the SEC as soon as possible.

Notwithstanding any failure by the Company to file any proxy statement, report, registration statement, schedule, form, or other document in a timely manner, such failure shall not constitute a breach of this Section 7, provided that the Company exercises commercially reasonable efforts to correct any such delays and maintain “current” reporting status with the SEC.

The Company acknowledges that, due to recent corporate transactions and related complexities, there may be risks of delays in preparing and filing future financial statements. The Company represents that it will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file such financial statements timely and in compliance with GAAP and SEC rules. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, no information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser which is not included in the SEC Reports contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made. The Company is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the Company with respect thereto) included in the SEC Reports (the “Financial Statements”), nor is the Company currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Financials Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. However, the Company acknowledges that, due to the complexity of recent transactions, adjustments or additional disclosures could be necessary, which may impact the timing of future filings. Please refer to the Risk Factors set forth on Schedule I for further information.

Risk Factors

 

An investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and is subject to many uncertainties. In addition to the risk factors specific to this offering set forth below, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any other SEC Report, are incorporated herein by reference. These risks and uncertainties may adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. In such an event, the trading price for Common Stock could decline substantially (and therefore any value associated with the Shares), and you could lose all or part of your investment. In order to attain an appreciation for these risks and uncertainties, you should read all risk factors in their entirety and consider all of the information and advisements contained in the Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and all other documents requested by the Purchaser, including the following risk factors and uncertainties and the SEC Reports.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND THIS OFFERING

 

Limited Operating History and History of Losses

 

We have a limited operating history and have incurred cumulative net losses of $18,652,952 from our inception on June 2, 2015, through December 31, 2023 (exclusive of the net losses that would be consolidated with the Company after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions with Core Optics, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 22, 2024. There is no guarantee that we will achieve revenue, sustain revenue growth, or reach profitability in the future. Our business faces inherent risks and challenges associated with establishing and growing a new enterprise, particularly in competitive and rapidly evolving markets. These challenges include competition, building a customer base, acquiring market expertise, navigating market conditions, developing effective sales and marketing strategies, and complying with regulatory requirements. Unforeseen challenges, delays, or expenses in these areas may negatively impact our operations and could materially affect our financial condition. If we are unable to overcome these challenges and meet our business objectives, our business could suffer, potentially leading to reduced or curtailed operations. Achieving our revenue and profitability goals will depend on numerous factors, and failure to do so would adversely affect our business and financial stability.

 

We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact our potential profitability.

 

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:

 

	●	Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives;
	●	Maintain a system of management controls; and
	●	Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train, and manage management-level and other employees.

 

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

 

 

Risk of Non-Compliance with SEC Reporting Obligations Following Recent Share Exchange

 

As part of our obligations under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act, we are required to file specific information, including consolidated audited financial statements, within a designated timeframe following the recent share exchange, which has an effect similar to a reverse merger or business combination. Due to the complexities involved in consolidating financial data, we may face challenges in meeting this filing deadline. Any delay in compliance with these SEC requirements could subject us to regulatory consequences, diminish investor confidence, and limit our ability to pursue certain business initiatives. Additionally, any delays or complications in obtaining audited financials may further impact our reporting timeline, increasing our risk of non-compliance with SEC reporting requirements, increasing our risk of our shareholders’ inability to rely on Rule 144 for resale of our securities and adversely affecting our business operations.

 

As a public reporting company, we are subject to filing deadlines for reports that we file pursuant to the Exchange Act, and our failure to timely file such reports may have material adverse consequences on our business.

 

To maintain our “current” reporting status with the SEC, we are required to file our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, within the SEC’s prescribed timeline. However, due to complexities arising from the recent share exchange, as well as delays in preparing and consolidating prior annual and quarterly financial statements, there is a risk that we may be unable to file this quarterly report on time or be able to regain compliance. Failure to meet this deadline could result in a loss of our current filer status. Even when we regain status as a current filer by filing timely reports with current financial statements, we will not be eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 that would allow us to continuously incorporate by reference our SEC reports into the registration statement, or to use “shelf” registration statements to conduct offerings, until approximately one year from the date we regained (and maintain) status as a current filer. Until such time, if we determine to pursue an offering, we would be required to conduct the offering on an exempt basis, such as in accordance with Rule 144A, or file a registration statement on Form S-1. Using a Form S-1 registration statement for a public offering would likely take significantly longer than using a registration statement on Form S-3 and increase our transaction costs, and could, to the extent we are not able to conduct offerings using alternative methods, adversely impact our liquidity, ability to raise capital or complete acquisitions in a timely manner. The use of Form S-1 would also prevent us from conducting offerings on a “shelf basis,” limiting our flexibility as to the terms, timing or manner of any such offering.

 

We cannot guarantee that in the future our reporting will always be timely. If we are unable to satisfy SEC filing deadlines or otherwise provide disclosures of material information on a timely basis, stockholders and potential investors in our Common Stock may have incomplete information about our business and results of operations, which may impact their ability to make an informed investment decision, result in a reduction in the trading price, trading volume or analyst coverage of our Common Stock or expose us to potential liability.

 

There will be restrictions on resale of the Securities and there is no assurance of the registration of the Securities.

 

None of the Securities may be sold unless, at the time of such intended sale, there is a current registration statement covering the resale of the Securities or there exists an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and such Securities have been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws in the state of residence of the seller or in the state where sales are being effected. The Company has no current intention of filing a registration statement covering the resale of the Securities. If no registration statement is filed and declared effective covering the resale of any of the Securities sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, Purchasers will be precluded from disposing of such Securities unless such Securities may become eligible to be disposed of under the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act without restriction. If the Securities are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, or exempt therefrom, and registered or qualified under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws, or deemed exempt therefrom, the value of such securities will be greatly reduced.

 

 

Although such an assessment has not been concluded by the Company, the SEC or any other parties, the Company at one or more times may have been deemed a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (that is, the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 unless at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports.

 

Furthermore, Purchasers investing in the Securities being offered in reliance upon Regulation S may only be able to sell the Securities in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available. In connection with any resale of the Securities pursuant to Regulation S, the Company will not register a transfer not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with another exemption from the Securities Act.

 

We do not have sufficient shares of Authorized Common Stock for Conversion of Securities

 

The Company does not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and other derivative securities currently outstanding. If the number of authorized shares of common stock remains limited or inadequate, purchasers may be unable to convert their Preferred Stock into Common Stock. This limitation could impact the liquidity and potential return on investment for Purchasers who intend to convert their shares of Preferred Stock. Additionally, any future amendments to increase the number of authorized shares may be subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors and, potentially, by shareholders, which could create further delays or uncertainties. In the event of an inability to convert Preferred Stock due to an insufficient number of authorized shares, the value of the preferred stock may be adversely affected.

 

We have significant discretion over the use of certain of the net proceeds.

 

We have significant discretion over the use of certain of the net proceeds from this Offering. While we currently intend to allocate a portion of these proceeds toward the potential acquisition of securities in a corporation that may be publicly traded outside of U.S. exchanges, there is no guarantee that we will complete this acquisition as planned or that we will benefit from such acquisition (no assurances can be made that management’s decision to complete such acquisition will be accretive to the value of Preferred Stock or Common Stock). If this acquisition is not feasible due to regulatory, market, or foreign investment restrictions, we may redirect these funds toward other corporate purposes. If the acquisition of such foreign securities is successful, no assurances can be made that our ownership of such securities will result in a profit or even if it does result in a profit that that will translate to an increase in shareholder value.

 

Additionally, other proceeds from this Offering may be allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes, including but not limited to research and development, capital expenditures, sales and marketing costs, and compensation to officers and directors. Our management will therefore retain broad discretion in applying these funds, and there can be no assurance that our intended or alternative uses of proceeds will result in increased revenue, profitability, or shareholder value. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their legal, financial, and investment advisors before deciding to invest in the Company.

 

 

Inability to complete intended acquisition and limitations on exchange of Preferred Stock for securities of a third party

 

Currently, we intend to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Securities to acquire certain securities in a third-party corporation, which may be publicly traded outside U.S. markets. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete this acquisition as intended, as regulatory obstacles, market conditions, or foreign investment restrictions could prevent the use of proceeds for this purpose. If the acquisition cannot be completed, the Company may need to redirect the proceeds to other uses, which may not deliver the same anticipated benefits to the investors.

 

Moreover, if the target corporation is a foreign entity traded on a non-U.S. exchange, there is no guarantee that the Company would be able to exchange shares of this foreign corporation for preferred stock. Foreign exchanges may impose restrictions or additional regulatory requirements on the issuance or transfer of shares to non- domestic shareholders. Consequently, preferred stock holders might not have the option to exchange their preferred stock for the foreign corporation’s shares and could be limited to converting their preferred stock into common stock of the Company. This limitation could impact the value and flexibility of their investment.

 

If we are deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

We conduct our operations so that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. government securities and securities issued by entities which are at least 50% owned that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company for certain privately offered investment vehicles set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

 

The Investment Company Act may limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to enter into financing leases and engage in other types of financial activity because less than 40% of the value of our and our subsidiaries’ total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis can consist of “investment securities.”

 

If we or any of our subsidiaries were required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, the registered entity would become subject to substantial regulation that would significantly change our operations, and we would not be able to conduct our business as described in this report. We have not obtained a formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, any violation of the Investment Company Act would subject us to material adverse consequences.

 

Greater risk of loss to the early investors than to later investors.

 

There is no minimum offering amount. Consequently, the Company can close on any sum raised, and do so on a rolling basis. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will raise any minimum amount of proceeds. If the Company fails to raise a sufficient amount of capital intended for use in operations as a result of the Offering. Therefore, the sale of a minimal number of Securities could have material, adverse consequences on the Company’s business, financial condition and future outlook. Purchasers’ funds will not be returned under any circumstances whether during or after the Offering, even if the gross proceeds received in the Offering are minimal.

 

 

The offering price and conversion/exchange features for the Shares has been arbitrarily determined by us.

 

The offering price and conversion/exchange features of the Shares was arbitrarily determined by us. The price and conversion/exchange features of the Shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria such as earnings, book value or assets. Rather, the price and conversion feature of the Shares may be derived as a result of our negotiations with investors based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure. These prices do not necessarily accurately reflect the actual value of our securities or the price that may be realized upon disposition of such securities.

 

An investment in our securities is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

 

An investment in the Securities is speculative and there is no assurance that Purchasers will obtain any return on their investment. Purchasers will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have paid no dividends to date and it is not anticipated that any dividends will be paid to holders of our securities in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is currently anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. You should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value, if any, of our stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in us.

 

Your ownership interest is subject to dilution.

 

Each Purchaser’s proportionate ownership interest may be diluted when we issue additional shares of our common stock or upon conversion or exercise of securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock. We may raise additional capital in the future through additional sales of shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock, and your percentage interest in our common stock would be diluted if you do not participate in such additional sales.

 

*****The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Securities. Purchaser should read this entire Subscription Agreement, including Schedule I that is made an integral part hereof and all SEC Reports, and consult with its own advisors before deciding to purchase the Securities.*****
