Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Secured Note Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with 3i LP. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company has authorized the sale and issuance of three secured promissory notes, the first note in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to be issued at closing; the second note in the principal amount of $1,666,640 to be issued at closing and which represents the payment of $1,666,640 due to 3i, LP in Alternative Conversion Floor Amounts, as defined in the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock, that began to accrue on July 14, 2022; and the third note in an aggregate principal amount of $650,000 with respect to a new loan to be funded upon the Company filing a registration statement with Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a registered offering.

 

Each note matures on January 1, 2024, carries an interest rate of at 5% per annum, and is secured by all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). In addition, 3i LP may exchange such promissory note for the Company’s common stock at an exchange price equal to the lowest price per share of the equity security sold to other purchasers, rounded down to the nearest whole share, if the Company concludes a future equity financing prior to the maturity date or other repayment of such promissory note. In addition, each promissory note and interest earned thereon may be redeemed by the Company at its option or the holder may demand redemption if the Company obtains gross proceeds of at least $5 million in a financing in an amount of up to 35% of the gross proceeds of the financing.

 

The forgoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, secured promissory note and Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety to the Purchase Agreement, form of secured promissory note and Security Agreement filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3.

 

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

On November 21, 2022, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of 1.00 per share under the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Listing Rules”). Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s listed securities for the last 30 consecutive business days from October 10, 2022 to November 18, 2022, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market subject to previous disclosures on Form 8-K. (See Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 14, 2022.)

 

The Notice states that under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until May 22, 2023, to regain compliance under the Listing Rules. To regain compliance under the Listing Rules, the Company’s common shares must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by May 22, 2022, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common shares between now and May 22, 2023, and to evaluate its available options to regain compliance within the compliance period.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The disclosure set forth in Item 5.03 below is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

 

A.Amendment to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

b.Any outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have not been redeemed pursuant to an Initial Redemption shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion or (ii) automatically upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split and the Share Increase Proposal at any meeting of stockholders held for the purpose of voting on such proposals (any such redemption pursuant to this Section 5.b, the “Subsequent Redemption” and, together with the Initial Redemption, the “Redemptions”).
   
c.Each share of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed in any Redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed in consideration for the right to receive an amount equal to $0.10 in cash for each ten whole shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are “beneficially owned” by the “beneficial owner” (as such terms are defined below) thereof as of immediately prior to the applicable Redemption Time and redeemed pursuant to such Redemption, payable upon the applicable Redemption Time.

Notice of the foregoing restrictions on transfer shall be given in accordance with Section 151 of the DGCL.
   
7.Fractional Shares. The Series B Preferred Stock may be issued in whole shares or in any fraction of a share that is one one-thousandth (1/1,000th) of a share or any integral multiple of such fraction, which fractions shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, participate in distributions upon a Dissolution and have the benefit of any other rights of holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations

 

The Board determined that the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held virtually online by means of remote communication on or about January 16, 2023, or as otherwise set forth in the Company’s notice and proxy statement for the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on December 6, 2022, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The Company, however, reserves the right to change the record date prior to the Annual Meeting.

 

Since the Company did not hold an annual stockholders meeting the previous year, stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Allarity Therapeutics, Inc.

The Company has determined such date to be reasonable under the Bylaws and the rules under the Exchange Act and is hereby providing notice of the deadline for stockholder proposals.

 

In addition to complying with the December 5, 2022 deadline, stockholder director nominations and stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must also comply with all applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules, including Rule 14a-8, Delaware corporate law and the Bylaws in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. Any director nominations and stockholder proposals received after the December 5, 2022 deadline will be considered untimely and will not be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting nor will it be considered at the Annual Meeting.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

A.Termination of 2022 Annual Meeting to be held December 2, 2022.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company scheduled its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders which was convened on November 4, 2022, and was subsequently adjourned without any business being conducted. The 2022 annual meeting was adjourned until December 2, 2022. In light of new proposals which must be presented to the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s Board of Directors have decided to terminate the 2022 annual meeting adjourned until December 2, 2022.

All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur of the following: (i) January 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”); (ii) the consummation of a Corporate Event (as defined below); or (iii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), such amounts are declared due and payable by the Holder or made automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, unless this Note is earlier exchanged pursuant to Section 6.

 

This Note may be one of a series of secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”) issued by the Company pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement dated November [__], 2022, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Security Agreement dated November [__], 2022, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Security Agreement”). The Notes shall rank pari passu with each other in the right to repayment.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1. Definitions. As used in this Note, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:

 

(a) “Company” includes the corporation initially executing this Note and any Person which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of the Company under this Note.

 

(b) “Corporate Event” shall be deemed to have occurred (i) if the Company merges, consolidates or reorganizes with one or more entities, corporate or otherwise, as a result of which the holders of the Company’s stock entitled to vote for the election of directors immediately prior to such event do not hold at least 50% of the stock entitled to vote for the election of directors immediately after such event, or (ii) if the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets.

 

(c) “Event of Default” has the meaning given in Section 3 hereof.

 

 

 

 

(d) “Holder” shall mean the Person specified in the introductory paragraph of this Note or any Person who shall at the time be the registered Holder of this Note.

 

(e) “Obligations” shall mean and include all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, howsoever arising, owed by the Company to Holder of every kind and description (whether or not evidenced by any note or instrument and whether or not for the payment of money), now existing or hereafter arising under or pursuant to the terms of this Note, including, all interest, fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs and accountants’ fees and costs chargeable to and payable by the Company hereunder and thereunder, in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and whether or not arising after the commencement of a proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.

2. Prepayment. Upon two days prior written notice, the Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part without the consent of the Holder and without penalties. Any prepayments shall be made pro rata among the holders of all of the Notes based on the relative outstanding principal amounts of the Notes. All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to principal.

 

3. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

(a) The Company fails to pay timely any of the principal amount due under this Note on the date the same becomes due and payable or any accrued interest or other amounts due under this Note on the date the same becomes due and payable; or

 

(b) The Company files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

 

(c) An involuntary petition is filed against the Company (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within forty five (45) days) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company; or

 

(d) The Security Agreement shall for any reason fail or cease to a create a valid and perfected and, except to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority security interest on the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) in favor of Holder.

 

4. Notice of Events of Default. As soon as possible and in any event within three (3) business days after it becomes aware that an Event of Default has occurred, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the nature and extent of such Event of Default and the action, if any, it has taken or proposes to take with respect to such Event of Default.

5. Rights of Holder upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Section 3(a) at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Holder may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 3(b) through 3(c), immediately and without notice, all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Holder may exercise any other right, power or remedy permitted to it by the Security Agreement or by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

 

6. Optional Exchange.

 

(a) Exchange Upon an Equity Financing If prior to the Maturity Date or other repayment, or forgiveness in full of this Note, the Company concludes a future equity financing (each, an “Equity Financing”), the Holder shall be entitled to exchange the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note into such number of shares of the equity security issued by the Company obtained by dividing (i) the principal and interest under this Note by (ii) the lowest price per share of the equity security in the Equity Financing sold to other purchasers, rounded down to the nearest whole share. As a condition precedent (which may be waived by the Company) to the exchange of this Note as provided for in this Section 6(a), Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Equity Financing, including a purchase agreement and other ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions, and having substantially the same terms as those agreements entered into by the other purchasers participating in such Equity Financing. Prior to the closing of any Equity Financing, Company will notify Holder, in writing at least five (5) days prior to the initial closing of such Equity Financing, of the lowest price per share at which the equity security is being sold in such Equity Financing, the aggregate consideration (excluding the aggregate principal and accrued interest due on this Note and all other convertible notes then outstanding and issued by the Company) being paid for such equity security and such other information as may reasonably be required to permit Holder to evaluate the desirability of electing to exchange this Note pursuant to this Section 6(a). The Holder shall give at least two (2) days written notice to the Company prior to the initial closing of the Equity Financing as to whether the Holder elects that this Note convert into the equity security issued in the Equity Financing and the amount that the Holder wishes to exchange.

 

(b) Termination of Rights. Whether or not this Note has been surrendered for cancellation, all rights with respect to this Note shall terminate upon the issuance of equity securities upon conversion of this Note under Section 6.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder agrees to surrender this Note to the Company for cancellation as soon as is practicable following conversion of this Note

 

7. Optional Redemptions.

 

(a) Optional Redemption by the Company. At any time on or after the date hereof, so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding balance then remaining under this Note (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) upon two (2) days written notice to the Holder (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice”). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder and such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than five (5) business days nor more than ten (10) business days following the date of the Company Optional Redemption Notice, (y) certify that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and (z) state the aggregate outstanding amount of the Notes which is being redeemed from the Holder pursuant to this Section 7(a) on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if no Event of Default has occurred as of the date of the Company Optional Redemption Notice but an Event of Default occurs at any time prior to the Company Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and unless the Holder waives the Event of Default, the Company Optional Redemption shall be cancelled and the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Event of Default has occurred and continuing. If the Company elects to cause a redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 7(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the other outstanding Notes.

(b) Subsequent Financing Redemption by the Holder. If, at any time while this Note shall be outstanding, the consummation of a future debt, equity, or equity-linked financing, in one or more tranches, by the Company (with investors or lenders other than the Holder and excluding any securities issued, or exchanged for securities under, the Company Equity Incentive Plan) in an aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more (each, a “Financing”) occurs on any given date (the “Financing Redemption Date”), the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company (the “Notice of Redemption”), to settle the payment by redemption of the outstanding balance of this Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, of up to Thirty Five Percent (35%) of the gross proceeds with respect to such Financing (the “Financing Redemption Amount”). The Notice of Redemption shall be provided to the Company within five (5) business days from the date the Company has provided the Holder with written notice that a Financing has occurred (the “Notice of Financing”) and shall specify the determined Financing Redemption Amount and the date for such redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”), which date shall be no earlier than five (5) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Financing Redemption Amount set forth in the Notice of Redemption shall be paid in cash to the Holder by the Company.

 

8. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 9 and 10 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

9. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

10. Headings. The headings of the various Sections and subsections herein are for reference only and shall not define, modify, expand, or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

11. Transfer of this Note. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note, Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of Holder’s counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Holder that Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11 that the opinion of counsel for Holder, or other evidence, is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify Holder promptly after such determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Note shall be registered upon registration books maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company. Prior to presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner and Holder of this Note for the purpose of receiving all payments of principal and interest hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note shall be overdue and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

Holder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such Notes. In the event Holder receives payments in excess of its pro rata share of the Company’s payments to the holders of all of the Notes, then Holder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the holders of the other Notes and shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such holders.

 

17. Expenses. In the event of any Event of Default hereunder, the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Holder in enforcing and collecting this Note.

 

18. Usury. In the event any interest is paid on this Note that is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.

 

19. Severability. If any term or provision of this Note or the Security Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Note or the Security Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

20. Governing Law. This Note and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Delaware, or of any other state.
