Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Each of DLH and THF has acquired his or its interest in the securities described in Item 5 of this filing in connection with the consummation of the acquisition by the Issuer of COMSovereign Corp., a Nevada corporation (“COMSovereign”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 27, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, COMSovereign and DACS Merger Sub., Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Prior to joining the Issuer on November 27, 2019, beginning in January 2019, DLH was Chief Executive Officer and a director of COMSovereign. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, COMSovereign in effect became a public company through a reverse merger whereby Merger Sub merged with and into COMSovereign (the “Merger” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with COMSovereign surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. The Issuer subsequently changed its name to COMSovereign Holding Corp. The Business Combination closed on November 27, 2019 (the “Closing”).

 

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of COMSovereign’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Legacy COMSovereign Common Stock”) (other than any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), was canceled and the stockholders of COMSovereign received 1.8902 shares of Common Stock (approximately 0.63 shares after giving effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on January 21, 2021) for each share of Legacy COMSovereign Common Stock held by them immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

In connection with the Merger, 13,333,769 shares of Legacy COMSovereign Common Stock held by DLH were automatically converted into 25,202,875 shares of Common Stock 8,400.959 shares after giving effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on January 21, 2021) and 45,339 shares of Legacy COMSovereign Common Stock held by THF were automatically converted into 85,698 shares of Common Stock 28,566 shares after giving effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on January 21, 2021). As an incentive to commence employment as CEO of the Issuer, DLH was issued a restricted stock award of 300,000 shares of Common Stock (100,000 shares after giving effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on January 21, 2021).

 

TMI received 565,721 shares of Common Stock in November, 2020 (188,574 shares after giving effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on January 21, 2021) in exchange for the satisfaction of a October 31, 2019 promissory note totaling $1,414,301 at the rate of $2.50 per share ($7.50 per share after giving effect to the one-for-three reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on January 21, 2021).

(e) Not applicable.

 

 

Item 6.

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

 

In connection with the Issuer’s public offering of Common Stock that closed on January 26, 2021 and the underwriting agreement dated as of January 21, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Issuer and Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. (the “Representative”), as representative of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”) and the Underwriters, on January 21, 2021, DLH entered into a Lock-up Agreement with the Issuer, with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by DLH during the Lock-up Period (as defined below) (such shares, the “Lock-up Shares” and the agreement, the “Lock-up Agreement”). The Lock-up Agreement provides for the Lock-up Shares beneficially held by DLH to be locked-up for a period of 90 days following the date of the final prospectus (the “Lock-up Period”), subject to certain exceptions. By agreement dated February 3, 2021, the Representative has waived any provisions of the Lock-up Agreement that would disallow a pledge by DLH of the Lock-up Shares in a margin or loan transaction with a nationally-recognized bank or brokerage firm, so long as the amount of each loan does not exceed 30% of the market value of such share holdings of DLH. This summary is qualified by the actual terms of Lock-up Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Schedule 13D as Exhibit I and is incorporated herein by reference.
