Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 10, 2019 Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. entered into a Membership Purchase Agreement, effective as of May 8, 2019, with Gopher Protocol, Inc. to acquire 49% of the limited liability company membership interests of Advangelists, LLC. We refer you to Item 2.01 of this Current report for details about the transaction covered by the Membership Purchase Agreement.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On May 10, 2019, Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. entered into a Membership Purchase Agreement, effective as of May 8, 2019, and acquired 49% of the limited liability company membership interests of Advangelists, LLC. As a result of this acquisition, in conjunction with Mobiquity’s previously announced acquisition of 48% of Advangelists’ membership interests on December 6, 2018 and 3% of Advangelists’ membership interests on April 30, 2019, Mobiquity owns 100% of Advangelists’ membership interests.

 

The acquisition of the 49% of Advangelists membership interests was accomplished in a transaction involving Mobiquity, Glen Eagles Acquisition LP, and Gopher Protocol, Inc.

 

Gopher acquired the 49% Advangelists membership interest from Glen Eagles and assumed Glen Eagles’ purchase money promissory note to Deepanker Katyal, as representative of the former Advangelists owners, with a remaining balance of $7,512,500 in satisfaction of indebtedness owed by Glen Eagles to Gopher. Concurrently with that transaction, Mobiquity acquired the 49% of Advangelists membership interests from Gopher and assumed the $7,512,500 promissory note. We refer you to Item 2.03 of this Current Report for further description of the promissory note. Additionally, warrants for 120 million Mobiquity shares of common stock which are issuable upon the conversion of Mobiquity Class AAAA preferred stock owned by Gopher were amended to provide for a cashless exercise.

 

The foregoing description of the transaction is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the copies of agreements and instruments which are attached to this Current Report as exhibits.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

In connection with the transaction described in Section 2.01 of this Current Report, Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. assumed a promissory note payable to Deepanker Katyal, as representative of the former owners of Advangelists, LLC which had a remaining principal balance of $7,512,500. The promissory note was amended and restated to provide the following:

 

  Payment of principal plus interest in six monthly installments of $250,000 from May through October 2019.
     
  A payment of $1.5 Million on December 15, 2019.
     
  The remainder of the Note is payable in full by September 6, 2020 payable in the following manner:

 

  If Mobiquity completes a “qualified financing” (which is defined in the promissory note) of $10 Million or more, up to 75% of net proceeds from that financing will be used to pay the balance of the promissory note at the closing of the financing. Any remaining balance under the promissory note after that will be paid in consecutive month installments of $500,000.
     
  If Mobiquity does not complete a qualified financing by November 6, 2019, the balance of the promissory note will be paid in consecutive month installments of $500,000.

 

 

 

 

  2  
 

 

  The promissory note contains customary events of default and grace periods. The promissory note further provides that the payees’ sole recourse for an event of default shall be the transfer of 3% of Advangelists membership interests to the payee for each $500,000 increment of outstanding balance at the time of default.

 

The foregoing description of the promissory note is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the copy of the promissory note which is attached to this Current Report as an exhibit.

For purposes of this Note, a “Qualified Financing” shall mean a transaction or series of transactions completed after the date hereof pursuant to which Maker issues and sells (i) shares of its common stock, preferred stock, or other equity securities, and/or (ii) debt securities or other debt instruments (excluding any credit facility or line of credit primarily for working capital purposes) for an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more with the principal purpose of raising capital. For purposes of this Note, a “Non-qualified Financing” shall mean a transaction or series of transactions completed after the date hereof pursuant to which Maker issues and sells (i) shares of its common stock, preferred stock, or other equity securities, and/or (ii) debt securities or other debt instruments (excluding any credit facility or line of credit primarily for working capital purposes) for an aggregate amount of less than $10,000,000 with the principal purpose of raising capital.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the entire outstanding balance of the Note Amount shall be due and payable on or before September 6, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Note Amount may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty at any time at the Maker’s sole discretion.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, any rate of interest payable on this Note shall never exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

It is expressly agreed that, unless waived by Payee, an “Event of Default” hereunder shall occur if any payment due under this Note is not made within fifteen (15) days of its respective due date (the “Grace Period”). Any non-payment under this Note may be cured without imposition of any remedy by the Payee within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Grace Period. If any payment due under this Note shall not have been tendered within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Grace Period (a “Note Default”), and the Payee provides notice to Maker thereof, the Payee’s sole recourse and remedy in the event of an uncured Note Default shall be to have Maker immediately return to Payee acting on behalf  of the Recipients, that number of Surviving Company Membership Interests that represents three percent (3%) of the total fully-diluted amount of Surviving Company Membership Interests per every $500,000 in respect of which Maker did not cure its Note Default, but (ii) the Recipients of AVNG shall not be obligated to return any of the payments due under this Note previously tendered. Such three percent (3%) shall be pro-rated in respect of any partial payment tendered. For example, if there is an uncured Note Default and their remains an outstanding balance on the Note of $5,000,000, then Maker will return 30% of the Surviving Company Membership Interests to Payee as a result of this paragraph. Without the consent of Payee, on behalf of the Recipients, which consent may be withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned in the sole and absolute discretion of Payee for any reason or for no reason, none of the Surviving Company Membership Interests that had been transferred to Maker in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement (that is, 48% of the Surviving Company Membership Interests) and none of the Equity Consideration that had been transferred to (i) the Payee on behalf of the Recipients in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement or (ii) the Consultants in accordance with the provisions of the Consulting Agreements shall be returned, or cancelled as applicable, to the respective transferor thereof.

 

This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. Any forbearance of Payee in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Payee of partial payment of any sum payable hereunder before or after the Maturity Date shall not be a waiver of Payee’s right to either require prompt payment in full of the Note Amount on and after the Maturity Date or otherwise exercise any of Payee’s remedies hereunder or otherwise pursuant to applicable law for failure to make prompt payment.

 

If (A) the Maker or any of its subsidiaries shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing, or (B) proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Maker, any of its subsidiaries or of all or a substantial part of the Maker’s or its subsidiaries’ property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Maker or any of its subsidiaries, if any, or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 45 days of commencement, then such event(s) shall be an Event of Default hereunder and immediately and without notice, the then outstanding Note Amount shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Payee may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to Payee by this Note or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof be collected at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy, receivership or any other court proceedings (whether at the trial or appellate level), or after an Event of Default should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection upon default, the Maker agrees to pay on demand, in addition to all amounts due and payable hereon, all costs of collection or attempting to collect this Note, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

 

All parties to this Note, whether Maker, principal, surety, guarantor, or endorser, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, all payments made hereunder shall be applied first to payment of sums payable hereunder other than the Note Amount, and secondly to the balance of the Note Amount.

Mobiquity Acquires Remaining 52% Stake in Advangelists

 

Transaction Expected to Produce in Excess of $10 Million in Sales in 2019;

Potential for Accelerated Growth in 2020 and Beyond

 

NEW YORK, May 14, 2019 (PR NEWSWIRE) -- Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: MOBQ), a leading technology provider in next generation mobile advertising media space announced a series of transactions in which it acquired the remaining 52% of Advangelists formerly owned by Glen Eagle Acquisition, LLC (“GEA”) for $600,000 in cash and the assumption of a $7.5 million installment note payable to the former owners of Advangelists. The note was originally issued by GEA as part of GEA’s consideration to acquire their 52% Advangelists’ membership interest in the December 2018 merger transaction in which Mobiquity acquired its original 48% interest. This transaction provides Mobiquity 100% ownership of Advangelists.

 

“The Advangelists solution set has been the key differentiating factor and a critical factor for Mobiquity’s growth since December of last year,” commented Dean Julia, CEO of Mobiquity. “We believe that the acquisition of the remaining stake in Advangelists has the potential to unlock significant revenue growth opportunities for Mobiquity.”

 

“We also believe that under our full control and leadership, the combined operations can accelerate client acquisition, expand existing client relationships, and realize a wide range of operation cost synergies. We are very optimistic that this transaction can produce faster scaling, and more profitable financial results for our shareholders going forward,” concluded Mr. Julia.

 

Thomas M. Arnost, Executive Chairman of Mobiquity Technologies, added, “100% Mobiquity ownership of Advangelists was always our goal, so this transaction represents the achievement of another major milestone by the Mobiquity team, as we continue to successfully execute on our vision. I believe, the completion of this transaction will prove to be very beneficial to all our shareholders.”
