Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The Company entered into a Note Settlement Agreement with Tonaquint, Inc. and St. George Investments LLC with regard to certain secured convertible notes by and among the Company and each of Tonaquint and St. George (the “Note Holders”). Pursuant to the Notes, the Company owed $313,442.48 to Tonaquint and $622,394.22 to St. George. Upon the sale of the Luxuria, a luxury floating vessel owned by the Company and which was security under the Notes, the Company agreed to pay to the Note Holders $600,000. Upon that payment the Note Holders would release their liens against the Luxuria, so that the Company could complete the sale thereof as further described in Item 2.02, below.

 

The Company has until September 19, 2019 to pay an additional $70,000 (the “September Payment”) to the Note Holders in full satisfaction of the Notes. From the time of the payment of the initial $600,000 through the date of the September Payment the Note Holders have agreed to forebear their right to seek to convert any of the debt into the common stock of the Company. However, should the Company not make the September Payment then it will be in breach of the Note Settlement Agreement and the Note Holders will be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available under the Notes, including their right to convert.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On April 24, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of the Luxuria, the luxury floating vessel, designed, built and owned by the Company. The purchase price of the Luxuria was $750,000. Upon closing the Company paid $600,000 to Tonaquint Inc. and St. George Investments LLC in accordance with the Note Settlement Agreement described in Item 1.01, above. Additionally, the Company was obligated to pay a brokerage fee of $22,500 on the sale. Neither the purchaser nor the broker was not an affiliate of the Company.

On April 30, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the sale of the Luxuria.

Each of Tonaquint, St. George, Company and Boatworks is sometimes individually referred to hereinafter as a “ Party ” and collectively as the “ Parties .” Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Notes (as defined below).

 

A.

B. Borrower previously sold and issued to St. George that certain Secured Promissory Note dated January 5, 2017 in the original principal amount of $830,000.00 (the “ St. George Note ,” and together with the Tonaquint Note, the “ Notes ”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 5, 2017 by and between St. George and Borrower (the “ St. George Purchase Agreement ,” and together with the Tonaquint Purchase Agreement, the “ Purchase Agreements ,” and together with the Notes and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the “ Transaction Documents ”). The outstanding balance of the St. George Note as of the Effective Date is $622,394.22 (the “ St. George Outstanding Balance ,” and together with the Tonaquint Outstanding Balance, the “ Outstanding Balance ”).

 

C. Certain Events of Default have occurred under the Notes (collectively, the “ Defaults ”).

 

D. Lender has agreed, subject to the terms, conditions and understandings expressed in this Agreement, to refrain and forbear temporarily from exercising and enforcing remedies against Borrower with respect to the Defaults as provided in this Agreement and the Parties further desire to settle the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Incorporation of Recitals . The foregoing recitals are contractual in nature and are incorporated herein as part of this Agreement.

 

2. Forbearance . Subject to the terms, conditions and understandings contained in this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to refrain and forbear from exercising and enforcing its remedies pursuant to the Defaults or under applicable laws related thereto for so long as Borrower complies with all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation making all Settlement Payments (as defined below) when due hereunder (the “ Forbearance ”).

 

     

 

 

3. Settlement Payments . Notwithstanding the terms of the Notes, Borrower covenants and agrees to make the following cash payments to Lender (the “ Settlement Payments ”): (a) a payment in the amount of $600,000.00 due on or before April 10, 2019 (the “ Lien Release Payment ”); and (b) a payment in the amount of $70,000.00 due on or before the date that is six (6) months from the Effective Date (the “ Final Payment ”). Each Settlement Payment shall be made by Borrower to Lender via wire transfer of immediately available funds. The due date of the Lien Release Payment may be extended upon the mutual agreement of the Parties.

 

4. Release of Lien . Upon Lender’s receipt of the Lien Release Payment, Lender will release all security interests, liens and encumbrances on the custom home/vessel known as the “Luxuria” (Official Number 1274134; HIN ADX15001J516).

 

5. Payment in Full . Upon satisfaction of all of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation payment of all Settlement Payments to Lender, Borrower shall be deemed to have paid the entire Outstanding Balance of the Notes in full, Borrower shall have no further obligations under the Notes, the Notes shall be deemed to be satisfied, and each of Borrower and Lender shall be deemed to have mutually released each other from all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, acts, and causes of action of any kind whatsoever they have or may have against each other that are based upon, relate to, or arise out of the Notes. In addition, upon satisfaction of all of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation payment of all Settlement Payments, the Transaction Documents will terminate and shall be deemed to be of no further force or effect, the Parties shall be released from all obligations, definitions, representations and commitments therein, and Lender will release all existing security interest, liens and encumbrances filed against Borrower and its assets. In the event Borrower makes the Lien Release Payment but fails to make the Final Payment, the Lien Release Payment shall be applied to the St. George Outstanding Balance.

 

6. No Conversions . Provided Borrower delivers the Settlement Payments to Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, from the date Lender receives the Lien Release Payment until the date on which all Settlement Payments have been paid in full, Lender agrees that it will not convert all or any portion of the Tonaquint Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower fails to make any Settlement Payment as and when required pursuant to Section 3 above, Lender shall thereafter be free to convert the Tonaquint Note in accordance with its terms. Nothing herein shall be deemed to alter, amend or modify the Notes except as expressly provided for herein.

 

7. Failure to Comply . Borrower understands that the Forbearance and all other obligations, restrictions, and limitations on Lender hereunder shall terminate immediately upon the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement. In any such case, Lender may seek all recourse available to it under the terms of the Transaction Documents (including enforcing the full Outstanding Balance of the Notes as calculated thereunder, notwithstanding any reduced amounts agreed to herein), this Agreement, or applicable law following any breach. To avoid any doubt, Borrower’s failure to make any Settlement Payment when due in accordance with Section 3 above shall in each case constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Global Boatworks Closes on Sale of Luxuria Floating Vessel

 

Eliminates all Convertible Debt from Balance Sheet

 

April 30, 2019, Pompano Beach, FL — Global Boatworks Holdings Inc. (OTC: GBBT), builder of luxury floating vessels, is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of the Luxuria, the second sale of one of its luxury floating vessels.

 

The sale of the Luxuria allowed the Company to pay down the Company’s liabilities and eliminate convertible debt from its balance sheet. The Company had entered into a Note Settlement Agreement with St. George Investments and Tonaquint Inc., lenders that had a secured interest in the Luxuria. St. George and Tonaquint agreed to release their liens upon payment from the sale proceeds and an additional payment of $70,000 in September 2019. This agreement eliminates the last of the convertible debt on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

“The sale of the Luxuria has allowed us to clean up our balance sheet,” said Global Boatworks CEO Robert Rowe. “The media coverage that the Luxuria garnered generated a lot of interest in the Company and our luxury floating vessels. We took the opportunity to sell the Luxuria now so we will be positioned to take on financing as needed to build additional vessels or fulfill orders as opportunities arise.”
