Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

On March 9, 2017, the Issuer entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Philou, pursuant to which Philou was granted the right to invest up to $5,000 in the Issuer through the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock over a term of 36 months. On March 24, 2017, Philou purchased 25,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Agreement. Between May 5, 2017 and June 2, 2017, Philou purchased an additional 75,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Agreement in consideration of the cancellation of the Issuer debt due to Philou from the $250 short term loan and cash of $500. In addition, Philou received warrants to purchase 1,071,429 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share of common stock.

 

The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Holder”) has the right to designate a number of directors to the Issuer’s Board of Directors equal to a percentage determined by the number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock (determined on an “as converted” basis) (the “Preferred Shares”) divided by the sum of the number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of Preferred Shares outstanding as determined on an “as converted” basis. By way of example only, if the number of Preferred Shares owned by the Holder represents 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock and Preferred Stock of the Issuer (as determined on an “as converted” basis), the Holder shall, through his or its ownership of Preferred Shares, have the right to designate one director of a five member board. The Holder’s percentage to designate a number of directors shall be determined each time the Holder makes a purchase of the Preferred Shares and cannot be decreased unless the Holder converts or sells all or part of the Preferred Shares, in which case the number of directors that the Holder may designate will be re-calculated.

 

On April 24, 2018, Philou purchased 25,000 of the Issuer’s Preferred Shares in consideration for $250 pursuant to the Agreement. The 25,000 Preferred Shares are convertible into 357,143 shares of the Issuer’s common stock in the aggregate based on a $.70 per share conversion price. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement and in conjunction with the purchase of the Preferred Shares, Philou was granted a warrant to purchase 357,143 shares of the Issuer’s common stock at $0.70 per share.

 

On April 25, 2018, Ault & Company was appointed as the manager of Philou. Subsequently, Ault & Company purchased shares of common stock of the Issuer from time to time. From June 27, 2018, to December 3, 2018, Ault & Company purchased an aggregate of 82,900 shares of common stock in the open market. Mr. Ault has also purchased shares of common stock from time to time in the open market and owns 34,600 shares of the Issuer’s common stock.

 

On February 27, 2019, the Issuer and Ault & Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “PSPA”), pursuant to which Ault & Company may purchase up to 2,500 shares of the Issuer’s Series C Preferred Stock through December 31, 2019, which shares are convertible into 26,042 shares of the Issuer’s common stock. If Ault & Company were to acquire all the Series C Preferred Stock it is entitled to acquire under the PSPA, it would beneficially own, directly and indirectly, and aggregate of 700,952 shares of the Issuer’s common stock.

 

On December 22, 2019, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Ault & Company, pursuant to which, Ault & Company agreed to purchase an aggregate of 660,667 shares of the Issuer’s common stock for a total purchase price of $739,948.00, at a purchase price per share of $1.12. The closing occurred on January 15, 2020, upon the authorization of the NYSE American.
