Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 19, 2019, Biotricity, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with one accredited investor. Pursuant to the SPA, the company sold 6,000 Shares of its Series A convertible Preferred Stock at a per share price of$1,000 per preferred share and received gross proceeds of $6,000,000.

 

The Company is submitting with the Secretary of State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations) with the Sectary of State of the State of Nevada. A form of the Certificate of Designations is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations the Company designated 20,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). The Series A Preferred will not be entitled to any voting rights except as may be required by applicable law.

 

Commencing 24 months after the issuance date of the Series A Preferred subject to the beneficial ownership limitations in the Certificate of Designations and the Company’s right of redemption, and the holder of Series A Preferred may convert the Series A Preferred into shares of the Company’s common stock on a monthly basis up to 5% of the aggregate amount of the e aggregate amount of the purchase price of the Series A Convertible Preferred purchased by such Holder as adjusted (reduced) to reflect any Series A Convertible Preferred that the Holder has previously converted or no longer owns at a conversion price equal to the greater of $.001 or a 15% discount to the VWAP (as defined herein) for the (Company’s Common Stock) five Trading Days immediately prior to the conversion date (the “Conversion Rate”). Additionally, the Company and the Holder may agree to exchange such Holder’s outstanding Preferred Shares for shares of common stock in any common stock financing being conducted by the Company at a 15% discount to the pricing of that financing. Except as required by law the Preferred Shares shall not have any liquidation rights.

 

From and after the first date of issuance of any Preferred Shares (the “Initial Issuance Date”), dividends shall be paid at the rate of 12% per annum of the amount of the Holder’s (each a “Holder” and collectively the “Holders”) purchase price for the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (or similar agreement) between the Company and the Purchaser as adjusted (reduced) to reflect any Series Convertible Preferred That the Holder has previously converted or no longer owns and such dividend shall be paid quarterly provided that the Holder and the Company may mutually agree to accrue and defer any such dividend

 

The Company may redeem all or part of the outstanding Preferred Shares (i) pursuant to Section 4(c) and/or (ii) after one year from the date of issuance of such Preferred Shares, by paying an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price paid by the Holder for the Preferred Shares as adjusted (reduced) to reflect any Preferred Shares that the Holder no longer owns multiplied by 110% plus accrued dividends. The Company may exercise its right to redemption by giving notice to the Holders whose Preferred Shares it is seeking to redeem along with the terms and the amounts of such redemption and at such time as the Holder receives a notice of such redemption then the Holder may no longer convert such Preferred Shares and such Preferred Shares shall be deemed to no longer be outstanding.

 

2
 

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since, among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering.

 

Under the Certificate of Designations no time may all or a portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock that would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that, upon the Holder providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days’ advance notice (the “4.99% Waiver Notice”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 4(e) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, this Section 4(e) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock referenced in the 4.99% Waiver Notice but shall in no event waive the 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

Copies of the forms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Certificate of Designations are attached hereto as exhibits to this Current Report. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Certificate of Designations are qualified in their entirety by reference by such exhibits.

OF

BIOTRICITY INC.

 

I, Waqaas Al-Siddiq, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Biotricity Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), and further do hereby certify:

 

That, pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board on December  , 2019 adopted the following resolution creating a series of shares of Preferred Stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which shares has been issued:

 

RESOLVED, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Company by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation the Board hereby creates and designates a series of preferred stock to be named Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series, and fixes the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series in addition to any set forth in the Articles of Incorporation as follows:

 

TERMS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

1. Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established by this Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions (this “Certificate of Designation”) a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Preferred Shares”). The authorized number of Preferred Shares shall be twenty thousand (20,000) shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a $0.001 par value. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 22.

 

2. Ranking. The preferred shares shall be junior to the Company’s existing preferred stock and unless otherwise set forth in the applicable certificate of designations shall be junior to any future issued preferred stock.

 

3. Dividends. From and after the first date of issuance of any Preferred Shares (the “Initial Issuance Date”), dividends shall be paid at the rate of 12% per annum of the amount of the Holder’s (each a “Holder” and collectively the “Holders”) purchase price for the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (or similar agreement) between the Company and the Purchaser as adjusted (reduced) to reflect any Series Convertible Preferred That the Holder has previously converted or no longer owns and such dividend shall be paid quarterly provided that the Holder and the Company may mutually agree to accrue and defer any such dividend

 

4. Conversion. Each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

 

(a) Holder’s Conversion Right. Commencing 24 months after the Issuance Date, subject to the provisions of Sections 4(e) and 6, each Holder of Series A Convertible Preferred will have the right to convert on a monthly basis up to 5% of the aggregate amount of the purchase price of the Series A Convertible Preferred purchased by such Holder as adjusted (reduced) to reflect any Series A Convertible Preferred that the Holder has previously converted or no longer owns at a conversion price equal to the greater of $.001 or a 15% discount to the VWAP (as defined herein) for the (Company’s Common Stock) five Trading Days immediately prior to the conversion date (the “Conversion Rate”). Additionally, subject to the provisions of Section 4(e) and 6, upon the agreement between any Holder and the Company such Holder may exchange such Holder’s outstanding Preferred Shares into any common stock financing being conducted by the Company at a 15% discount to the pricing of that financing.

 

 
 

 

(b) (i) Reserved.

 

(ii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.

 

(iii) Reserved.

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i) Holder’s Conversion. To convert a Preferred Share into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile, email or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 4(c)(vi), within five (5) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the share(s) of Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid.

 

(ii) Company’s Response. On or before the fourteenth (14th ) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company may either exercise its right to redeem (in accordance with Section 6 hereto) the Preferred Shares that the Holder is seeking to convert or shall transmit by facsimile or email an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the transfer agent for the Company’s Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. The Company may either in the Company’s discretion (1) if permitted by applicable securities laws and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or securities laws prohibit the issuance by DTC, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 4(c)(vi) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, if requested by such Holder, as soon as practicable after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted.

 

(iii) Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

(iv) Reserved.

 

(v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and the parties shall resolve such dispute in a mutually acceptable manner.

 

 
 

 

(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, upon conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 4(c)(vi)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(vi) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

 

(d) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.

 

 
 

 

(e) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may all or a portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock that would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that, upon the Holder providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days’ advance notice (the “4.99% Waiver Notice”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 4(e) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, this Section 4(e) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock referenced in the 4.99% Waiver Notice but shall in no event waive the 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation described below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may all or a portion of the Preferred Shares be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation” and the lower of the 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation then in effect, the “Maximum Percentage”)). By written notice to the Company, a holder of Preferred Shares may from time to time decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice. For purposes hereof, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a holder of Preferred Shares, the Company shall within three (3) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Preferred Shares, by the Holder and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported, that in any event are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock within 60 days’ of such calculation and that are not subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

 

5. Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights.

 

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. The Conversion Rate (and shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) will be appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends business combinations and similar recapitalization If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section occurs during the period that a Conversion Rate is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Rate shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(b) Other Distributions.

6. Redemption. The Company may redeem all or part of the outstanding Preferred Shares (i) pursuant to Section 4(c) and/or (ii) after one year from the date of issuance of such Preferred Shares, by paying an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price paid by the Holder for the Preferred Shares as adjusted (reduced) to reflect any Preferred Shares that the Holder no longer owns multiplied by 110% plus accrued dividends. The Company may exercise its right to redemption by giving notice to the Holders whose Preferred Shares it is seeking to redeem along with the terms and the amounts of such redemption and at such time as the Holder receives a notice of such redemption then the Holder may no longer convert such Preferred Shares and such Preferred Shares shall be deemed to no longer be outstanding.

 

 
 

 

7. Authorized Shares Reservation.

The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation.

 

15. Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders.

16. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.

It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
