Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 12, 2022, prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Alfi, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Lee Aerospace, Inc. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender has made available to the Company until the maturity date a non-revolving line of credit, up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Lender is wholly owned by an entity which is majority owned and controlled by James Lee, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Lee is also President of the Lender. In addition, Mr. Lee and the Lender, together, beneficially own over 25% of the shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) currently outstanding.
On April 12, 2022, the Lender funded to the Company $600,000 under the Credit Agreement. Prior to the maturity date, the Company may borrow an additional $1.9 million under the Credit Agreement, in the Lender’s sole discretion and subject to the Company requesting such additional funds from the Lender in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the accuracy of the Company’s representations in the Credit Agreement and related documents, and that no default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.
The entire outstanding principal amount borrowed under the Credit Agreement, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such borrowings outstanding from time to time, is due and payable on the earlier of: (i) the date upon which the Company consummates a debt or equity financing in an amount equal to or greater than $4,000,000 or (ii) April 12, 2023. Interest on the unpaid principal amount borrowed under the Credit Agreement accrues at an annual rate of 6% through October 12, 2022, and at an annual rate of 9% thereafter; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an event of default, additional interest at an annual rate of 3% will accrue on all borrowings through October 12, 2022. All or part of the outstanding principal amount borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without penalty or premium, provided that such prepayments must be accompanied by the payment of all interest accrued on the amount so prepaid through the date of prepayment. The principal amount so prepaid may not be reborrowed under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
All of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and all related documents are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets (including all of the Company’s personal property, equipment, accounts, inventory, intellectual property, bank accounts, securities accounts, other investment property and all capital stock in the Company’s subsidiaries), whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants customary for a transaction of the type and size contemplated by the Credit Agreement. Negative covenants include, among others and subject to certain exceptions, limitations on liens, dividends and other restricted payments, fundamental changes and asset sales and other dispositions. Events of default include, among others and subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s failure to pay amounts of principal or interest when due under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s breach of covenants under the Credit Agreement or any related document, the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Credit Agreement or any related document, the Company’s insolvency or certain final judgments against the Company. If any of the events of default occur and are not cured or waived, then all of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable and remedies against the collateral under the Credit Agreement and related documents may be exercised by the Lender, including foreclosure on the collateral.
In connection with and as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the Company also executed a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Note, a Patent Security Agreement and a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Lender, each containing customary terms and conditions for a transaction of the size and type contemplated by the Credit Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the Credit Agreement and as a required condition thereof, on April 12, 2022 the Company issued to the Lender a Warrant to purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of the Common Stock at any time, or from time to time, on or after July 12, 2022 and prior to April 12, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), at an exercise price of $1.51 per share of Common Stock. The Warrant may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, and the exercise price of the Warrant is subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate actions, but not for other dilutive equity issuances. The Warrant also provides for certain “piggy back” registration rights to the Lender if, at any time prior to the six-month anniversary of the Expiration Date, the Company shall determine to register on a new registration statement any shares of Common Stock for resale for the account of selling stockholders, subject to certain exceptions.
Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The disclosures included in Item 1.01 above, including regarding the Credit Agreement and the related documents, and the transactions completed thereby, are incorporated into this Item 2.03 in their entirety by reference.
Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
The disclosures included in Item 1.01 above regarding the Warrant are incorporated into this Item 3.02 in their entirety by reference. The issuance of the Warrant to purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock to the Lender was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D, Rule 506 thereunder, because the transaction did not involve a public offering, and the Lender confirmed that it was an “accredited investor” and that it was acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Warrant, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, are subject to transfer restrictions and the Warrant contains, and the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will contain, an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2022, the Company had commenced the process of selling the condominium located in Miami Beach (the “Condominium”), which the Company’s former management had caused the Company to purchase. On April 15, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the condominium for a gross purchase price of approximately $1.1 million.

Consequently, the Lender understands that it must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.
(e) The Lender agrees: (i) that the Lender will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, unless the transaction is registered under the Securities Act and complies with the requirements of all applicable state securities laws, or the transaction is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable requirements of state securities laws; (ii) that the certificates representing the Securities will bear a legend, and any book-entry registration of the Securities will bear a notation, in each case in form and substance acceptable to the Borrower, making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (iii) that the Borrower and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Securities, except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
18 |

In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.09 Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.10 Integration. This Credit Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the Parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Credit Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender in any other Credit Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Credit Agreement. Each Credit Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Obligations hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
21 |
10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.13 Governing Law.
(a) This Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its choice-of-law principles, and all claims, disputes and controversies relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall likewise be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its choice-of-law principles.
(b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of Florida sitting in Miami, Florida, or the United States District Court for the Southern District, Miami Division, and by execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the Company and the Lender consent, each for itself and in respect of its Property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

The Company and the Lender each waives personal service of any summons, complaint, or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by the Law of the State of Florida.
10.14 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

NON-REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
$2,500,000.00 | April 12, 2022 |
Miami Beach, Florida |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Alfi, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of Lee Aerospace, Inc., a Kansas corporation (the “Lender”; the Lender and any subsequent holder(s) hereof being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Holder”), at the office of the Lender or at such other place as the Holder may, from time to time designate to the Borrower in writing, the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand AND No/100 DOLLARS ($2,500,000.00), or so much thereof as is from time to time outstanding and has been disbursed pursuant to the provisions of Article II of the Credit and Security Agreement, dated of even date herewith, by and between the Lender and the Borrower (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) (the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein and made an integral part hereof by reference), together with interest on so much thereof as is from time to time outstanding and unpaid, calculated at the applicable rate(s) and in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement, in lawful money of the United States of America (i.e., money that at the time of payment is legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private), such principal and interest to be paid in the manner set forth below. Capitalized terms that are defined in the Credit Agreement and that are used but not otherwise defined herein have the same respective meanings when used herein as ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
So long as there is any principal or accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under this Note, accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the Maturity Date.
The entire outstanding and unpaid principal amount evidenced by this Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
The Borrower may prepay the principal amount outstanding, from time to time, under this Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that every prepayment of principal evidenced by this Note is accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note, from the date of advance until paid in full, will accrue at the then effective Interest Rate.
In the event that any installment of principal or interest owing hereunder is not paid promptly when due, or within the grace period thereafter, if any, provided by the Credit Agreement, or should any other Event of Default occur, then, and in such event, the entire unpaid principal indebtedness evidenced hereby, and any and all other sums advanced and owed to the Holder in accordance with the terms hereof or of the other applicable Credit Documents, or any of them, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, will, at the option of the Holder and without notice except as specified in the applicable Credit Documents, immediately become due and payable; and the Holder may collect the same forthwith, regardless of the then stipulated applicable date of maturity. Nothing contained in this Note is to be deemed to confer on the Borrower any right to cure or reinstate the maturity of this Note in the event of any acceleration of this Note.
Time is of the essence in the payment of this Note. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of collection of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note which, in the event that this Note or any part hereof is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, include reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable expenses and court costs incurred in connection therewith.
Presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice of demand, dishonor, protest, and non-payment, and all other notices (except those required by the Credit Agreement and other Credit Documents) are hereby waived by the Borrower. The Borrower hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that no funds disbursed hereunder will be used for personal, family or household purposes.
No failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of the occurrence of any default hereunder, acceptance of a past due installment, or any other indulgences granted from time to time by the Holder is to be construed (i) as a novation of this Note, as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, as a waiver of the Holder’s right of acceleration, or of the right of the Holder thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with all of the provisions of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by the laws of the State of Florida; and the Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, that would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder made by agreement with any other Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of any portion of this Note (whether by means of guaranty, suretyship, or otherwise) will operate to release, discharge, modify, change, or affect the original liability of the Borrower under this Note, either in whole or in part, unless the Holder stipulates otherwise in writing. None of the provisions of this Note can be orally waived, changed, modified, or discharged; but rather all waivers, changes, modifications, and discharges of any and all provisions hereof must be made in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, or discharge is sought.
This Note evidences a borrowing under, is subject to, and will be enforced in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement and is the “Note” as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower’s prompt and full repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by all of the Collateral described in the Credit Agreement.
If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time performance of such provision is due, involves transcending the limit of validity then prescribed by an applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled will be automatically reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event will any exaction be possible under this Note that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation will be fulfilled to the limit of such validity.
This Note is intended as a contract under, and all provisions hereof are in all respects (including all matters of construction, interpretation, validity, enforceability, performance, breach, and the consequences of breach) to be governed and controlled by, the internal, substantive laws of the State of Florida (excluding and without regard to any and all rules and principles concerning any conflict of laws) as amended and now in effect.
As used herein, the term “Borrower” is to be deemed to include all of the Borrower’s respective successors and assigns, whether by voluntary action or by operation of law. As used herein, the term “Holder” is to be deemed to include the Lender and its successors and assigns, whether by voluntary action or by operation of law, as well as the respective successors, legal representatives, and assigns of each and every subsequent holder or assignee to whom this Note is transferred or assigned, in whole or in part. All pronouns and adjectives used herein indicating gender are to be construed to include the masculine, feminine, and neuter genders; and all words implying the singular are to be construed to include the plural and vice versa.
2 |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower, intending to be legally bound by all of the provisions of this Note, has duly authorized, signed, and delivered this Note to the Lender, all effective as of the date first above written.

3.2 Common Share Reorganization and Stock Dividend Payments. If the Corporation, at any time this Warrant is outstanding, (a) shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or consolidate its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares (any such event being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), or (b) pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on preferred stock which contain a stated dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of Common Stock (any such event being called a “Stock Dividend Payment”), then (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of shares of Common Stock are determined for purposes of a Common Share Reorganization or at which the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock are determined for purposes of a Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective at such time, to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase immediately before such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be.

If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock, as the case may be, for purposes of a Common Share Reorganization, Stock Dividend Payment or Capital Reorganization and shall legally abandon such action prior to effecting such action, then no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article III in respect of such action.

The Corporation shall give notice to the Holder prior to any record date or effective date, as the case may be, in respect of any Common Share Reorganization, Stock Dividend Payment or Capital Reorganization describing, in each case, such event in reasonable detail and specifying such record date or effective date, as the case may be. In addition, after the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of any Common Share Reorganization, Stock Dividend Payment or Capital Reorganization, the Corporation shall promptly give notice to the Holder of such event, describing such event in reasonable detail and specifying the record date or effective date, as the case may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation thereof.

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related filing or qualification under applicable state securities laws), except as set forth in Section 5.2(b), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Registrable Securities”) specified in a written request or requests, made by the Holder and received by the Corporation within five (5) days after the written notice from the Corporation described in clause (i) above is given by the Corporation. Such written request may specify all or a part of the Holder’s Registrable Securities.
(b) If the registration of which the Corporation gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Corporation shall so advise the Holder as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of the Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If the Holder proposes to distribute its securities through such underwriting, then the Holder shall (together with the Corporation and the other holders of securities of the Corporation with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Corporation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Corporation that marketing or other factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the representative may exclude all Registrable Securities from, or limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting. In addition, if the Holder does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, then the Holder shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Corporation or the underwriter.
(c) The Holder agrees by acquisition of this Warrant that: (i) the Corporation may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of any registration contemplated by Section 5.2(a) at any time in its sole discretion; and (ii) upon receipt of notice from the Corporation that the registration statement filed by the Corporation which includes some or all of the Registrable Securities for resale is no longer effective or is no longer available for use by the selling stockholders identified therein for any reason, then the Holder will discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until the Holder receives further notice from the Corporation.

(a) no Patent has been adjudged invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction nor has any such Patent been cancelled, in whole or in part, and each such Patent is presently subsisting;
