ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On August 18, 2022, Healthier Choices Management Corp. (the “Company” or “HCMC”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued 14,722.075 shares of its Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) to five institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for an aggregate subscription price of $13,250,000 (the “Offering”).
On March 2, 2023, the parties to the SPA entered into First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay each Purchaser ten percent (10%) of the Stated Value (the “Conversion Payment”) of the Preferred Stock upon conversion of such Preferred Stock into common stock prior to the record date for the Spin Off.
On May 15th, the parties to the SPA entered into Second Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to: (1) extend the time period for the Conversion Payment eligibility to December 1, 2023, (2) amend the Certificate of Designation as set forth in Item 5.03 below and (3) require the Purchasers to purchase Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of a newly created public company (resulting from spin off of HCMC’s grocery and wellness businesses) in the same subscription amounts that the Purchasers paid for the HCMC Preferred Stock (the “Spinoff”) only if the Spinoff is completed prior to December 1, 2023.
As of May 17, 2023, 1,585 shares of Preferred Stock have been converted and 4,416.65 shares of Preferred Stock have been redeemed for total redemption payments of $4,394,428.00 .
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions thereof, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 5.03. AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
On August 18, 2022 (the “Issue Date”), the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The number of shares of HCMC Preferred Stock designated is 14,722.075 and each share of HCMC Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $1,000 (the “Stated Value”). On May 15, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designation to make the redemption price of the Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Price”) equal the Stated Value regardless of the date on which it is redeemed. Prior to this amendment, the Redemption Price was discounted by 1% for each month after the seven-month anniversary of the Issue Date that the Purchaser elected not to redeem.
