Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement effective March 7, 2019 Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued to Charles Hyatt, an accredited investor, a unit of the securities of the Company, with the unit (the “Unit”) consisting of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) and 50,000,000 eighteen month common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share (the “Warrants”) in consideration of $500,000. The Shares represent approximately 24% of our outstanding shares of common stock, giving effect to such issuance. In the event the investor exercises all of the Warrants, the Shares and shares of common stock underlying the Warrants would represent approximately 39% of our outstanding shares of common stock, giving effect to such exercise and issuance. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale for product research and development and working capital purposes. The Company did not pay any fees or commissions in connection with the sale of the Unit.

 

The issuance of the Unit Securities to the accredited investor was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of such act.

 

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Warrants and Subscription Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.4 and 10.13, respectively, to this report.

1.2 Exercise Price . The initial purchase price for each of the Shares shall be $0.01 per share. Such price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “ Exercise Price ”).

 

2. Exercise and Payment . At any time after the date of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, from time to time by the Holder, during the term hereof, by surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Annex I , duly completed and executed by the Holder, to the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company, together with payment in the amount obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by the number of Shares thereby purchased, as designated in the Notice of Exercise. Payment may be in cash, wire transfer or by check payable to the order of the Company in immediately available funds. If not exercised in full, this Warrant must be exercised for a whole number of Shares.

 

3. Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of Shares or other shares of capital stock of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

 

     
     

 

4. Delivery of Stock Certificates . Within three (3) trading days after exercise, in whole or in part, of this Warrant, the Company shall issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares which the Holder shall have requested in the Notice of Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (dated the date hereof and of like tenor) for the unexercised portion of this Warrant at the time of delivery of such stock certificate or certificates.

 

5. No Fractional Shares . This Warrant must be exercised for a whole number of Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional Shares will be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. Any fractional Share which otherwise might be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant as a result of the adjustment provisions Section 9 hereof will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.

 

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . The Company shall pay all transfer taxes or other incidental charges, if any, in connection with the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise hereof from the Company to the Holder.

 

7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.

 

8. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, Etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding weekday which is not a legal holiday.

 

9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares . The Exercise Price and the number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

9.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances . If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of such subdivision, split-up or combination shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant as of such date shall remain the same.

 

  2  
     

 

9.2 Stock Dividend . If at any time after the date hereof the Company declares a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into Common Stock (“ Common Stock Equivalents ”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof), then the number of Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date (or the date of such dividend distribution if no record date is set) for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date (or on the date of such distribution, if applicable), for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date (or on the date of such distribution, if applicable).

 

9.3 Other Distributions . If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents), then the Company may, at its option, either (i) decrease the Exercise Price of this Warrant by an appropriate amount based upon the value distributed on each share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, or (ii) provide by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors that on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable on exercise hereof, the number of shares or other securities or property which would have been received had this Warrant at the time been exercised.

 

9.4 Effect of Consolidation, Merger or Sale . In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of any subdivision, combination, stock dividend or other distribution provided for in Sections 9.1 , 9.2 and 9.3 above), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any corporation (other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant), or the Company shall make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, change, merger or sale by a holder of the number of Shares then purchasable under this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, or to any new Warrant delivered pursuant to this Section 9.4 , and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per share payable hereunder, provided, that the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, changes, mergers and transfers.

 

10. Notice of Adjustments; Notices . Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of and kind of securities purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.

 

  3  
     

 

11. Rights As Shareholder; Notice to Holders . Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his or its transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered mail if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:

 

(i) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be proposed;

 

(ii) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of any subdivision, combination, stock dividend or other distribution) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

(iii) a taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) for other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other rights.

 

Such giving of notice shall be simultaneous with (or in any event, no later than) the giving of notice to holders of Common Stock. Such notice shall specify the record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any action contemplated in this Section 11 .

 

12. Restricted Securities . The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are, or will be, acquired from the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or transferred without registration under the Act, or an applicable exemption from such registration. The Holder further acknowledges that a securities legend to the foregoing effect shall be placed on any Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

13. Disposition of Shares; Transferability .

 

13.1 Transfer . This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company, upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver new Warrants to the person entitled thereto.

 

13.2 Rights, Preferences and Privileges of Common Stock . The powers, preferences, rights, restrictions and other matters relating to the shares of Common Stock will be as determined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, as then in effect.

 

  4  
     

 

14. Miscellaneous .

 

14.1 Binding Effect . This Warrant and the various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

14.2 Entire Agreement . This Warrant and the Purchase Agreement of even date herewith constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

14.3 Amendment and Waiver . Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Any waiver or amendment effected in accordance with this Section 14.3 shall be binding upon the Holder and the Company.

 

14.4 Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Florida without reference to the conflicts of law principles thereof. The exclusive jurisdiction for any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Warrant shall be either the Florida State Supreme Court, County of Broward, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

 

14.5 Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not alter or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

14.6 Severability . If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and the balance shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

14.7 Notices . Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in the same manner as provided in the Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Warrant as of the date appearing on the first page of this Warrant.

3. INVESTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

The undersigned makes the following agreements, representations, declarations, acknowledgments and warranties to the Company in making the sale of the Unit with the intent that they be relied upon in determining the undersigned’s suitability as a purchaser of the Unit:

 

  (a) The undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the undersigned.
     
  (b) The undersigned acknowledges that the offering and sale of the Unit is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. In furtherance thereof, the undersigned represents and warrants as follows:

 

    (i) The undersigned realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the undersigned’s representations contained herein, the undersigned is merely acquiring the Unit for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The undersigned does not have any such intention;
       
    (ii) The undersigned is acquiring the Unit solely for the undersigned’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Unit;
       
    (iii) The undersigned has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge all or any part of the Unit for which the undersigned hereby subscribes, and the undersigned has no present plans or intentions to enter into any such contract, undertaking or arrangement;
       
    (iv) The undersigned has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the undersigned’s investment, has adequate means for providing for the undersigned’s current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to the undersigned’s investment in the Company; and
       
    (v) The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Unit Securities (as defined below). If other than an individual, the undersigned also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Unit.

 

  (c) The undersigned is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
     
  (d) The undersigned has been provided access via the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) public website at www.sec.gov with access to copies of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s Quarterly Report for the period ended September 30, 2018 and the Company’s other filings with the Commission (collectively, the “ SEC Reports ”), and represents and warrants that it has read and reviewed these reports (including the “Risk Factors” contained therein), together with the Company’s other filings with the Commission. The undersigned acknowledges that the Company has made available to the undersigned or provided the undersigned the opportunity to review all SEC Reports and this Agreement, and has allowed the undersigned an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers thereto and to verify and clarify any information contained in the SEC Reports and this Agreement. The undersigned further acknowledges that the undersigned has received all information concerning the Company, the Company’s business, and all other information necessary for the undersigned to invest in the Company.

 

  2  
     

 

  (e) The undersigned is not relying on the Company with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. The undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Unit as such are described in the SEC Reports.
     
  (f) The undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer the Unit, including the Shares, the Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “ Unit Securities ”), without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the undersigned must bear the economic risk of the purchase of Unit because, among other reasons, the Unit Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the undersigned is aware that Unit Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The undersigned also understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Unit Securities on the undersigned’s behalf or to assist the undersigned in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The undersigned understands that any sales or transfers of Unit Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement. The undersigned further acknowledges that on the Closing the undersigned shall be an “affiliate” of the Company, as such term is defined under the Securities Act, which shall subject the undersigned to insider trading restrictions .
     
  (g) No representations or warranties have been made to the undersigned by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents, affiliates or subsidiaries, other than any representations contained herein and in the SEC Reports, and in subscribing for the Unit the undersigned is not relying upon any representations other than any contained herein or in the SEC Reports.
     
  (h) The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the undersigned’s purchase of the Unit is a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of the undersigned’s entire investment in the Unit and has reviewed the “risk factors” contained in the SEC Reports. The undersigned is able to bear the loss of the undersigned’s entire investment in the Unit. The undersigned further acknowledges that (i) there is currently a limited public market for the Shares and that there are no assurances an active public market for the Shares will ever be developed, and (ii) there is no public market for the Warrants and there is no expectation one will ever be developed.
     
  (i) The undersigned’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned’s net worth, and an investment in the Unit will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

  3  
     

 

  (j) The undersigned should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“ OFAC ”) website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac> before making the following representations . The undersigned represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “ OFAC Programs ”) prohibit dealing with individuals 1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists.
     
  (k) To the best of the undersigned’s knowledge, none of: (1) the undersigned; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the undersigned; (3) if the undersigned is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the undersigned; or (4) any person for whom the undersigned is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs.
