Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.03

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

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.


On May 20, 2019, Dolphin Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “ Company ”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “ Investor ”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, a senior convertible promissory note in an initial principal amount of $1,100,000 (the “ Note ”) at a purchase price of $1,000,000 (representing an original issue discount of approximately 9.09%), together with warrants (the “ Warrants ”) to purchase up to 137,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.015 per share (“ Common Stock ”), at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (subject to pro rata adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations and similar events). On May 21, 2019 (the “ Closing Date ”), the Company issued and sold the Note and the Warrants to the Investor and received aggregate gross proceeds before expenses of $1,000,000.


The Warrants will become exercisable upon the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date and thereafter at any time during the five-year period following such date.  If a resale registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not effective and available at the time of exercise, the Warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless” exercise formula.


The Note is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock (the “ Conversion Shares ”) at an initial conversion price (the “ Conversion Price ”) equal to the lower of (A) $5.00 and (B) the lower of (i) the lowest intraday sale price of the Common Stock on the applicable conversion date and (ii) the average of the three lowest closing sale prices of the Common Stock during the twelve consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date, subject, in the case of this clause (B), to a floor price of $1.00.  If an event of default under the Note occurs prior to maturity, then from and after the occurrence of such event of default and for the remaining term of the Note, the Note will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a 15% discount to the applicable Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to price protection anti-dilution for a period of six months from and after the Closing Date upon any dilutive issuance (or deemed issuance) of Common Stock at a price below $1.00 per share, and is also subject to pro rata adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations and certain fundamental transactions involving the Company or its securities.


The Note is a general senior unsecured obligation of the Company and ranks equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness. Outstanding principal under Note will not accrue interest, except upon and during the continuance of an event of default under the Note, in which case interest at a default rate of 18% per year would accrue until such event of default is cured and will be payable upon conversion (in the form of shares of Common Stock), prepayment or redemption of the Note or upon certain bankruptcy related events of default. The Note matures on May 21, 2021 unless earlier converted, prepaid or redeemed. The Company may, at its option, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance under the Note without premium or penalty.


The Note provides for customary events of default, which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, the following:  nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other agreements in the Note; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Note, the Investor may declare the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Note immediately due and payable.  In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all amounts outstanding under the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, would automatically become due and payable.


Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if the Note remains outstanding on the second, fourth and six-month anniversaries of the Closing Date, the Company will issue to the Investor on each such date additional warrants (the “ Additional Warrants ”) having substantially the same terms as the Warrants, each of which Additional Warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase up to 137,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (subject to pro rata adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations and similar events).


In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, on May 20, 2019, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investor (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to register the Conversion Shares for resale by the Investor under the Securities Act, if, during the six-month period commencing on the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company determines to file a resale registration statement with the SEC.





 


The securities referred to above, including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants and any Additional Warrants, were offered, issued and sold by the Company to the Investor in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Investor represented to the Company that it was an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and that it was acquiring such securities for investment purposes.


The foregoing description of the Note, the Warrants, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, the form of Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2, Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
