Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Bridge Financing

 

On October 18, 2012, Reven Housing REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) issued convertible promissory notes to certain accredited investors in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Notes”). In addition, the investors in the Company’s July 2012 bridge financing exchanged their previously issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $52,789 pursuant to the terms thereof for new Notes in their respective principal amounts. The maturity date of the Notes is the earlier of December 31, 2013 or the date on which the Company consummates an equity financing in which it sells shares of its capital stock with an aggregate sales price of at $5,000,000 or more (a “Qualified Equity Financing”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10 percent per annum payable in full on the maturity date. In the event the Company consummates a Qualified Equity Financing prior to December 31, 2013, then the holders of the Notes at their option may convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Notes into shares of the Company’s capital stock issued in the Qualified Equity Financing at the same price and on the same terms as the investors in such financing. The Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty. The form of Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company also issued to the investors 5-year warrants exercisable for shares of the Company’s capital stock issued in the Qualified Equity Financing (the “Warrants”). The exercise price of the Warrants will be the same as the price per share of the equity securities sold to investors in the Qualified Equity Financing, and each Warrant provides for 100% warrant coverage on the principal amount of the related Note. The form of Warrant is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information regarding the issuance of the Notes by the Company, the amount of the Company’s obligation thereunder and the terms and conditions of the Notes disclosed in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information regarding the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants by the Company disclosed in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference. As described more fully in Item 1.01 above, the outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Notes may be converted by the holders thereof into shares of the Company’s capital stock issued in the Qualified Equity Financing, in the event the Company consummates such a financing prior to the maturity date of the Notes, and the Warrants may be exercised for such shares of capital stock at the same price and on the same terms as the investors in the Qualified Equity Financing. The Company is relying on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the offer and sale of the Notes, the Warrants and the underlying securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

(b)                Exercise Period . This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the closing date of the Qualified Equity Financing (as defined below) and ending on the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 13 hereof.

 

(c)                 Warrant Coverage Amount . The term “ Warrant Coverage Amount ” shall mean that amount which equals 100% of the principal amount of the Note.

 

(d)                The Shares . The term “ Shares ” shall mean shares of the Company’s capital stock issued to investors in the Qualified Equity Financing.

 

(e)                 Qualified Equity Financing . The term “ Qualified Equity Financing ” is the Company’s next equity financing pursuant to which the Company sells shares of its capital stock with an aggregate sales price of not less than $5,000,000, excluding any and all convertible bridge notes (including Notes issued in the Convertible Note Financing (as defined in the Note) pursuant to which this Warrant is issued), with the principal purpose of raising capital.

 

 
 

 

(f)                 Change of Control . The term “ Change of Control ” shall mean (i) any consolidation or merger involving the Company pursuant to which the Company's stockholders own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the surviving entity or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. For the sake of clarity, no equity financings of the Company (including the Qualified Equity Financing) shall constitute a Change of Control for purposes of this Warrant.

 

3.                   Method of Exercise . While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

 

(i)             the surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and

 

(ii)             the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

(a)                 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances . If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

- 2 -
 

 

(b)                Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation . In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

 

(c)                 Notice of Adjustment . When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

7.                   No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

9.                   Representations and Warranties by the Holder . The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a)                 This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Act "). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

 

(b)                The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that the Warrant Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968 (the " California Law ") by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section 25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent expressed above.

 

- 3 -
 

 

(c)                 The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.

 

(d)                The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.

 

(e)                 The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

 

10.               Restrictive Legend .

 

The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.

 

11.               Warrants Transferable . Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed or accompanied by written instructions of transfer. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or Shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder's counsel, or other evidence, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law.
