Between September 22, 2014, and July 20, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Original Note Purchase Agreement”) in connection with a bridge financing, with nine accredited investors, including lead investor RSJ Private Equity investiční fond s proměnným základním kapitálem (“RSJ PE”). Pursuant to the Original Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued fifteen secured convertible promissory notes (each, a “September 2014 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2.29 million. Of this amount, RSJ PE purchased a September 2014 Note for $750,000. The September 2014 Notes were also purchased by the following affiliates of the Company or entities under their control: RSJ PE, of which Michal Votruba is a director, purchased a September 2014 Note for $750,000, the Company’s director, John Pappajohn, purchased three September 2014 Notes for $400,000; the Follman Family Trust of which Robert Follman, a director of the Company, is a trustee, purchased a September 2014 Note for $100,000; The Tierney Family Trust, which is a greater than 5% stockholder of the Company, purchased five September 2014 Notes for $540,000, of which Thomas Tierney, a former director and Chairman of the Board of the Company (the “Board”), is a trustee; and Oman Ventures, of which Mark Oman, a greater than 5% stockholder of the Company, is the President, purchased a September 2014 Note for $200,000.  Michal Votruba joined our Board on July 30, 2015

 

The Original Note Purchase Agreement provided for the issuance and sale of September 2014 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2.5 million, in one or more closings to occur over a six-month period beginning September 22, 2014. The Original Note Purchase Agreement also provided that the Company and the holders of the September 2014 Notes enter into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the resale of the shares of the Common Stock underlying the September 2014 Notes.

 

On April 14, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original Note Purchase Agreement with the majority of the noteholders in principal, dated as of April 14, 2015 (“Amendment No. 1”), pursuant to which: (i) the aggregate principal amount of notes provided for issuance was increased by $0.5 million to a total of $3.0 million, and (ii) the period to raise the $3.0 million was extended to September 30, 2015. The Company subsequently amended and restated the Original Note Purchase Agreement solely to update for the changes made pursuant to Amendment No. 1 (such amended and restated agreement, together with the Original Note Purchase Agreement, the “Note Purchase Agreement”).

 

On September 14, 2015, the Company entered into an Omnibus Amendment (the “Omnibus Amendment”) to the Note Purchase Agreement and the notes purchased and sold pursuant thereto, with the majority of the noteholders to fix the conversion price of all notes at $0.05 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or the like affecting the Common Stock) (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) (i) automatically, in the event of a qualified financing of not less than $5 million, or (ii) voluntary, within 15 days prior to the maturity date of the note. The Omnibus Amendment also amended the form of note attached to the Note Purchase Agreement to reflect the Fixed Conversion Price.

 

Subsequently thereto, on September 14, 15 and 24, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment, with each of six accredited investors, in connection with a bridge financing. Pursuant to these Note Purchase Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $710,000 of secured convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “September 2015 Notes,” and together with the September 2014 Notes all other notes purchased and sold pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the “Notes”), which amount also represents the gross proceeds to the Company from the September 2015 Notes. Four of the six September 2015 Notes were purchased by affiliates of the Company, or an entity under such affiliate’s control, as follows: (i) Dr. Robin Smith, Chairman of the Board, purchased a Note for $60,000; (ii) the Follman Family Trust purchased a Note for $150,000; (iii) John Pappajohn purchased a Note for $100,000 and (iv) RSJ PE, purchased a Note for $350,000.

 

  Through December 23, 2015, and prior to further amendments to the Notes, all of the Notes were scheduled to mature on March 21, 2016, (subject to earlier conversion or prepayment), and earned interest at a rate of 5% per annum with interest payable at maturity. The Notes could not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the holder of such Note. The Notes were secured by a security interest in the Company’s intellectual property, as detailed in a security agreement. Upon a change of control of the Company, the holder of a Note had the option to have the Note repaid with a premium equal to 50% of the outstanding principal.

 

On December 23, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (which further amended and restated the Note Purchase Agreement, as modified by the Omnibus Amendment) (the "Second Amended Note & Warrant Agreement") with each of 16 accredited investors, pursuant to which (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes available for issuance was increased from $3.0 million to up to $6.0 million, (ii) the maturity date of the Notes outstanding prior to such amendment was extended from March 21, 2016 to December 31, 2017; (iii) the time during which Notes may be issued was extended and (iv) certain warrants were issued to holders of both previously issued and Notes issued under the Second Amended Note & Warrant Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Second Amended Note & Warrant Agreement, on December 23 and December 28, 2015, the Company issued to the two purchasers thereof (i) an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 of secured convertible promissory notes (each, a "December 2015 Note"), which amount also represents the gross proceeds to the Company from the December 2015 Notes, and (ii) a warrant to each holder of December 2015 Notes to purchase the Company's Common Stock, in an amount equal to 100% of the shares underlying their December 2015 Note (each, a "Note Warrant"). Each Note Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, during the period beginning on the date of its issuance, and ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 and (ii) the date that is forty-five (45) days following the date on which the daily closing price of shares of the Company's Common Stock quoted on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace (or other bulletin board or exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is traded or listed) exceeds $0.25 for at least ten (10) consecutive trading days. In connection therewith, the Company will promptly notify the Note Warrant holders in the event that the daily closing price of the Company's shares of Common Stock so exceeds $0.25 for at least ten (10) consecutive trading days. Both December 2015 Notes and Note Warrants were purchased by affiliates of the Company, or an entity under such affiliate’s control, as follows: (i) on December 23, 2015, John Pappajohn, a member of the Board, purchased a December 2015 Note for $250,000 and was issued a Note Warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock; and (ii) on December 28, 2015, RSJ PE, of which, Michal Votruba, a member of the Board, is the Director for Life Sciences for the RSJ/Gradus Fund, purchased a December 2015 Note for $750,000 and was issued a Note Warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

Between February 23, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company issued to the three accredited investor purchasers thereof (i) an aggregate principal amount of $360,000 in Notes and (ii) and a warrant to each holder of such Notes to purchase the Company's Common Stock, in an amount equal to 100% of the shares underlying their respective Note (each, also a "Note Warrant"). A total of 7,200,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate underlie these Note Warrants. Two of the purchasers were affiliates of the Company as follows: (i) Geoffrey E. Harris, a member of the Board, purchased a Note on February 23, 2016, for $10,000 and was issued a Note Warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock and; (ii) John Pappajohn, a member of the Board, purchased a 2015 Note on March 31, 2016, for $250,000, and was issued a Note Warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

Also on December 23, 2015, in consideration for the agreement to extend the maturity date of the Notes, the Company issued to holders of all Notes outstanding prior to the date of the Second Amended Note & Warrant Agreement, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Extension Warrants", together with the Note Warrants, the "Warrants"). All Warrants have identical terms.

No Note may be prepaid without the prior written consent of the holder of such Note. The Notes are secured by a security interest in the Company's intellectual property, as detailed in the amended and restated security agreement. Upon a change of control of the Company (as described in the Notes), the holder of a Note will have the option to have the Note repaid with a premium equal to 50% of the outstanding principal.
