Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 2, 2015, CrowdGather, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC ("Typenex"), for the sale of a 10% convertible note in the principal amount of $168,000 (which includes Typenex legal expenses in the amount of $3,000 and a $15,000 original issue discount) (the “Note”) in exchange for proceeds of $150,000 to the Company.
The Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on February 2, 2016. The Note is convertible into common stock, at Typenex’s option, at the lesser of (i) $0.10, and (ii) 65% (the “Conversion Factor”) of the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable conversion, provided that if at any time the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding any date of measurement is below $0.05, then in such event the then-current Conversion Factor shall be reduced to 60% for all future Conversions, subject to other reductions set forth in the Note, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto. In the event the Company elects to prepay all or any portion of the Note, the Company is required to pay to Typenex an amount in cash equal to 125% multiplied by the sum of all principal, interest and any other amounts owing. The Note includes customary event of default provisions.
Typenex has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. The Note also provides for penalties and rescission rights if we do not deliver shares of our common stock upon conversion within the required timeframes.
Additionally, the Company granted Typenex warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value. The Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase a number of shares equal to $84,000 divided by the Conversion Factor multiplied by the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding March 2, 2015, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Warrants. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at $0.10 per share subject to certain anti-dilution provisions set forth in the Warrants.
The Note and Warrants were issued in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the SEC.
The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Warrant do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each such document, filed as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
