Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement 

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On November 30, 2018, Axim Biotechnologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional accredited investor (“Investor”) pursuant to which (i) the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the original principal amount of $4,000,000, convertible into shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company, upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Note, and (ii) the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Investor (together with the Note and shares issuable upon conversion thereunder, the “Securities”).

 

The purchase price for the Securities of $4,000,000 was payable as follows: (i) $1,782,079.33 in cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds and (ii) delivery of that certain convertible promissory note issued by the Company in favor of Investor on June 12, 2017 (the “Original Note”) for cancellation pursuant to that certain debt exchange agreement (the “Debt Exchange Agreement”) entered into of even date therewith (collectively, the “Purchase Price”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock, a minimum of 4.9% of its shares of common stock which is equal to the beneficial ownership limitation discussed below.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Debt Exchange Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the maturity date is November 1, 2021.  Interest accrues on the Note at a rate of 3.5% per annum and shall be payable on a semi-annual basis beginning on May 1, 2019 and thereafter on the first day of each May and November until the Maturity Date, at which time all principal and interest accrued hereon shall be due and payable.

 

Investor has the right, at its option, at any time prior to payment in full of the principal due on this Note, to convert the principal amount of the Note, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, subdivisions, reclassifications, recapitalizations and similar events as provided in the Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor shall not be permitted to convert the Note, or portion thereof, if such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by Investor and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of conversion

 

Events of Default include the events set forth in Section 5 of the Note, and include, but are not limited to, failure to make timely payments, defaults under any other debt instruments (and upon Investor’s notice of intent to accelerate), bankruptcy, receivership, and insolvency.

 

Upon an Event of Default under the Note, Investor may accelerate the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and other amounts owing through the date of acceleration.

 

Concurrently with the closing of this Note, Investor transferred the Note to Medical Marijuana, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, as part of a separate exchange transaction. The Company was not a party or signatory to said transaction.

 

Debt Exchange Agreement

 

Under the terms of the Debt Exchange Agreement, the parties satisfied and retired the Original Note and Original Note balance of approximately $2,200,000 in exchange for and upon the delivery by Investor to the Company of (i) the Original Note for cancellation and (ii) $1,782,079.33 in cash; and delivery by the Company to Investor of (a) the Note in the principal amount of $4,000,000.00, and (b) 250,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.  As a result of the Debt Exchange Agreement, the Original Note was replaced and superseded by the Note and is of no further force or effect, and Investor waived all Events of Default as defined in the Original Note.

 

The foregoing summary description of the terms of the Transaction Documents may not contain all information that is of interest to the reader. For further information regarding the terms of the Transaction Documents, reference is made to such Transaction Documents, which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
