Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On January 6, 2015, Youngevity International, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors pursuant to which the Company raised gross proceeds of $5,050,000 and sold units, each unit consisting of a one (1) year secured note in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 and 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”).  The sale was part of a private placement offering in which the Company offered for sale as units a maximum of $6,000,000 (up to $6,000,000 in principal amount of notes  (the “Notes”) and 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock) (the “Offering”).  

The Offering terminates on January 30, 2015.  The Company intends to use the net offering proceeds for its wholly owned subsidiary, CLR Roasters, LLC (“CLR”), to fund the purchase of Nicaragua green coffee to be sold under the terms of a letter of intent for sourcing and supply.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.  The Company has the right to prepay the Notes at any time at a rate equal to 100% of the then outstanding principal balance and accrued interest.  The Notes rank pari passu to all other notes of the Company other than certain outstanding senior debt.  CLR has provided collateral to secure the repayment of the Notes and has pledged the Nicaragua green coffee beans acquired with the proceeds, the contract rights under the letter of intent and all proceeds of the foregoing (which lien is junior to CLR’s line of credit and equipment lease but senior to all of its other obligations), all subject to the terms and conditions of a security agreement among the Company, CLR and the investors.  Stephan Wallach, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has also personally guaranteed the repayment of the Notes, subject to the terms of a Guaranty executed by him with the investors.  In addition, Mr. Wallach has agreed not to sell, transfer or pledge 30 million shares of the Common Stock that he owns so long as his personal guaranty is in effect.
 
The placement agent received a cash fee of $151,500, in addition to the payment of certain legal expenses of the placement agent, and the Company agreed to issue to the placement agent 841,667 shares of Common Stock.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreement, and the Guaranty Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreement, and the Guaranty Agreement (herein, the “Transaction Documents”), copies of each of which are attached as Exhibit Items 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 10.1, respectively, below.

Important Notice regarding the Transaction Documents

The Transaction Documents have been included as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide any other financial information about the Company or its subsidiaries. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Transaction Documents were made only for purposes of those agreements and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction Documents; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Transaction Documents instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Transaction Documents, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company.

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation of an Obligation Under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

The information contained in Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference.

 
 

 

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
The Notes and Common Stock issued in the Offering were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506(b)) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.  The investors are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such securities contain a legend stating the same.

legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Common Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5.1, it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the transfer agent of a certificate representing Common Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “ Legend Removal Date ”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article 5.  For purposes of this Agreement, " Trading Day " shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the OTC Market, or, if the Common Stock is not then trading on the OTC Market, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded; provided that "Trading Day" shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time.

The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

Upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party are legally entitled, Debtor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate set forth in the Notes or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “ Default Rate ”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor and Debtor waive all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
5.            Duty To Hold In Trust . Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Pledgor shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income , dividend, interest or other sums subject to the Security Interests, whether payable pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(c) above and if any amounts are remaining  to the Secured Parties, pro rata in proportion to their respective then-currently outstanding principal amount of Note for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations.
 
6.            Expenses Incurred by Secured Party .  If Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement, and Secured Party performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement or covenant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the reasonable expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection with such performance or compliance will be payable by Pledgor to the Secured Parties on demand and will constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.
 
7.            Remedies .  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to time (the “Code” ).  Without limiting the foregoing, in such circumstances, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon Pledgor or any other person (all of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), Secured Party may collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any or all of the Collateral and/or may sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver any or all of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may deem advisable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Secured Party will have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c), Secured Party will apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable expenses incurred therein or in connection with the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party under this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damage and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral is required by law, such notice will be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.  Pledgor will remain liable for any deficiency of Pledgor if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
 
8.            Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral .  The sole duty of Secured Party with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral, under the appropriate Code section or otherwise, will be to deal with it in the same manner as Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither Secured Party nor any of its employees, affiliates or agents will be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.

9.            Powers Coupled with an Interest .  All authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement with respect the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
 
10.            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies .  Secured Party will not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof) of delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default under the Note or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Secured Party would otherwise have on any subsequent occasion.  The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
11.            Miscellaneous .
 
(a)            Amendments and Waivers .  Any term of this Agreement may only be amended by prior written consent of Pledgor and the Majority Holders, as defined in the Purchase Agreement.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11(a) will be binding upon all of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(d)            Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which will be an original, but all of which together will constitute one instrument.

(h)            Severability .  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision(s) shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
 
(i)            Entire Agreement .  This Agreement and the other documents evidencing, securing, or relating to the Notes constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

2.            Guaranty .

(ii)           Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws, including laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws affecting the rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2(b)).

(iii)           Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the Guaranty contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Purchaser hereunder.

If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Purchaser, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Purchaser in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Purchaser, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Purchaser may determine.
 
(d)            Amendments, Etc. With Respect to the Obligations .

When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or Guaranty for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Purchaser to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or Guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, Guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Purchaser against any Guarantor.

(g)            Payments . Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Purchaser without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the address set forth or referred to in the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Guarantor has no subsidiaries other than those identified as such on the Disclosure Schedules to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Guaranty in any material respect, (y) have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or financial condition of the Guarantor or (z) adversely impair in any material respect the Guarantor's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Guaranty (a “ Material Adverse Effect ”).
