Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 27, 2019, Ideanomics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with ID Venturas 7, LLC. an exempted company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Delaware (“ID Venturas”), pursuant to which ID Venturas invested $2,500,000 and received (i) a promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) in the amount of $2,500,000 which is senior secured and convertible at $1.84 per share of Company common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, (ii) 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and (iii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for 150% of the number of shares of common stock which the Note is convertible into. The Convertible Note is convertible into common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a conversion price of $1.84, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Convertible Note matures on March 27, 2020, and accrues at a 10% interest rate. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note, ID Venturas has anti-dilution rights which adjust the $1.84 conversion price in connection with issuances below $1.84. As a post-closing covenant the Company and ID Venturas also agreed that the related legal opinions could be delivered within 5 trading days post-closing and if not delivered the Company (i) would be in default under the Note and (ii) deliver 1,000,000 shares of common stock. ID Venturas 7, LLC retains an option to fund up to an additional $2,500,000.00 within the next 60 days on the same terms as this investment.

 

In connection with the above transaction, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with ID Venturas (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which grants ID Venturas demand registration rights and a Subsidiary Guarantee from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Sub-Guarantee”).

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Note, the Warrant, the Sub-Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement is not purported to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreement which will be filed as an exhibit to a Form 10-Q or 10-K of the Company, as required.
