The new note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $8.80. To date, the investor has converted an aggregate principal amount of $860,000 of this note.
The Company entered into another exchange agreement on July 2, 2019 with another investor pursuant to which, in exchange for the surrender of certain debt instruments held by this investor, the Company issued to the investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 with an interest rate of 8% per annum and a maturity date of December 31, 2019. The new note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $8.80 per share, subject to a floor of $4.00.
