Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Stock Purchase Agreement
On July 26, 2018, Rokk3r Inc. (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which, at closing, we agreed to issue and sell to that investor up to 4,687,500 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value (“Series B Preferred”) at a price of $0.64 per share for an aggregate of $3,000,000. An aggregate of 3,906,250 shares will be issued and sold in five monthly tranches of at least 781,250 shares ($500,000) each, commencing on the July 27, 2018, the initial closing date, for an aggregate of $2,500,000. After the earlier of the four-month period after the initial closing date or the sale of 3,906,250 shares and not later than six months after the date of the initial closing, the investor may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase from us in a single closing, up to an additional 781,250 shares, not previously sold and never to exceed the number of Series B Preferred, at a price of $0.64 per share. We will use the proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Preferred for the operations of our business and for working capital purposes. A summary of the preferences and rights of the Series B Preferred is set forth in Item 5.03 of this Form 8-K.
Security and Pledge Agreement.
In connection with our obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, our company and our affiliate Rokk3r Labs LLC (“Rokk3r Labs”) entered into a Security and Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Rokk3r Labs pledged as collateral security for the payment, performance and observance of all of our obligations under Security and Pledge Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, and the Series B Preferred, securities owned by Rokk3r Labs with a value of approximately $16,000,000 (the “Collateral”). Rokk3r Labs may transfer any of its interests in the Collateral so long as our company or Rokk3r Labs, at their option, (i) add the proceeds of such transfer to the Collateral or (ii) promptly pledge a first priority security interest in one or more securities identified in the Security and Pledge Agreement that have an aggregate value equal to or greater than the value of such proceeds, provided, however, (x) no replacement collateral shall be required unless the aggregate value of the then-remaining Collateral decreases below an amount that is equal to three (3) times the amount invested and (y) any such reserve equity interests used as replacement collateral shall be subject to the investor’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Upon a default under the terms of the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, or the Series B Preferred, the investor may, among other things, collect or take possession of the Collateral, proceed with the foreclosure of the security interest in the Collateral or sell, lease or dispose of the Collateral. The pledge of the Collateral shall (a) remain in full force and effect until (i) we have acquired 75% of Rokk3r Labs’ current ownership interests in the aggregate in the entities that make up the reserved equity interests and the Collateral, or (ii) 75% of the shares of Series B Preferred owned by the investor have been converted into our common stock or have been redeemed by the investor.
Investor Rights Agreement
In connection with our obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with the investor. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, we agreed to, among other things, file a registration statement covering the investor’s resale of the Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred (to the extent such shares are registrable under the Securities Act) within 60 days following demand by such investor, with such demand right permitted any time after 180 days after the effective date of a registration statement related to our first underwritten public offering of our Common Stock under the Securities Act (an “IPO”). In addition, we agreed to register such shares if we file a registration statement in connection with a public offering of our securities for cash. So long as the investor holds 75% of the Series B Preferred, the investor has similar demand registration rights if at any time we are eligible to use a Form S-3. All registration rights are subject to cut back to the extent our Chief Executive Officer makes a good faith determination that a registration statement would interfere with certain corporate events identified in such agreement. All expenses (other than selling expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, fees and disbursements of our counsel; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling investors will be paid by us.
The investor has certain information, observer and inspection rights which permit such investor to receive certain financial statements on a periodic basis, budget and business plan information annually and such other information as the investor shall reasonably request. The investor is entitled to appoint two representatives to become members of our strategic Advisory Board for a period of no less than two years after the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred. The Advisory Board will be established by our board to offer them and the Company strategic ideas and advice regarding potential businesses expansion and strategy of the Company as mandated from time-to-time by the board, including development and location of Rokk3r Hubs, opportunity identification, pilot program identification and execution, deal origination, acquisitions and mergers and representation of the Company and its brand. We agreed to compensate the investor for the participation by its designees on our Advisory Board by issuing the investor 300,000 shares of our restricted Common Stock, with 50% of such shares vesting twelve months after the issuance date of the Series B Preferred and the 50% remaining balance vesting twenty-four months after the issuance date of the Series B Preferred, so long as at least one investor designee is a member of the Advisory Board at the time of vesting. In addition, the investor or its affiliates are entitled to, without additional charge, certain corporate educational services we provide to our clients.
The information, observer, inspection and advisory board rights will terminate (i) immediately before the consummation of the IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) upon the closing of a deemed liquidation event (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), whichever event occurs first.
The foregoing descriptions of the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement are summaries only and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of such agreement filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
