1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 18, 2019, we (BioLargo, Inc., the “Company”) received $188,000 and issued a 10% Convertible Note to Bellridge Capital, LP (“Bellridge”) in the principal amount of $220,000 (the “Bellridge Note”), representing a 10% original issue discount, and a deduction of $10,000 for legal fees paid to the investor. The note is due April 18, 2020. We and Bellridge entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, through which, upon our mutual consent, Bellridge may invest up to an additional $400,000 (in two tranches) that would be reflected in two additional 10% notes, each of which would mature one year from the date of issuance.
The Bellridge Note is convertible at the option of Bellridge at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 25 trading days prior to the conversion date. We may prepay the Bellridge Note at any time. If we do so up to 90 days after the effective date, the amount due is equal to 125% of the unpaid principal amount of the note along with any accrued interest, and thereafter, the amount due is 130% of the unpaid principal amount of the note along with any accrued interest. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as such term is defined under the Bellridge Note, additional interest will accrue from the date of the event of default at a rate equal to the lesser of 24% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law.
In connection with the Bellridge Note, the Company caused its transfer agent to reserve 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in the event that the Bellridge Note is converted.
With respect to the above transaction with Bellridge, Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) consented to waive the provisions of the Purchase Agreement dated August 25, 2017 prohibiting variable rate transactions.
This current report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of common stock, nor shall there be any sale of shares of common stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
The foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Bellridge Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached as Exhibits hereto. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
