Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Between September 5, 2023 and October 5, 2023, Renovaro Biosciences Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Subscription Agreements with five investors (the “Investors”) to purchase 5% Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,105,264. The Company received a total of $2,000,000 in gross proceeds from the offering, taking into account the 5% original issue discount. The Notes bear an interest rate of 12% per annum and shall mature on September 5, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock only upon the occurrence of a Qualified Offering (as defined below) or upon the Maturity Date. The Company may prepay the Note at any time.

 

The Notes are subject to mandatory conversion (“Mandatory Conversion”) in the event the Company closes an offering of its common stock and receives gross proceeds of not less than $10,000,000 (“Qualified Offering”). The conversion price per share of common stock in the case of a Mandatory Conversion shall be 95% of the offering price per share in the Qualified Offering, subject to a floor of $4.50 per share. In addition, if no Qualified Offering occurs prior to the Maturity Date, the Notes shall automatically convert into shares of common stock on the Maturity Date at a conversion price per share equal to the closing sale price of the common stock on the Maturity Date, subject to a floor of $4.50 per share. The floor in one of the Notes, issued on September 5, 2023 in the principal amount of $526,316, was fixed at 105% of the Nasdaq closing price of the common stock immediately preceding its issuance date.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1 hereto, which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

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

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

Information concerning the Company’s issuance of the Notes as set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein to this Item 3.02 by this reference.

 

The Notes and the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes are not registered under the Securities Act of the 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Notes were issued pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S”). Each Subscription Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and of each Investor, including that all Investors purchasing the Notes are not “U.S. persons” as defined by Rule 902 of Regulation S.

Due September 5, 2024

 

This 5% Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued this 5th day of September, 2023 (the “Original Issue Date”), by RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), to [ ] (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Holder”). This Note has been issued in connection with that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated September 5, 2023, by and among the Investors party thereto, including the Holder, and the Borrower (the “2023 Purchase Agreement”) as one of a series of convertible promissory notes issuable thereunder (collectively, the “Notes”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the 2023 Purchase Agreement.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Holder or his, her or its permitted successors and assigns the principal sum of [ ] DOLLARS ($[ ]), plus all accrued interest (in accordance with Section 1 herein) on or before (subject to the terms and conditions herein) September 5, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.Interest; Prepayments.

 

1.1           Interest. Interest shall accrue from the Original Issue Date at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded on, and added to the balance hereunder on, a yearly basis on each anniversary of the Original Issue Date. The Company will pay interest quarterly, in arrears, in cash, on the first day of each quarter of each year following the Issue Date prior to the maturity of this Note, or if any such day is not a Trading Day, on the next succeeding Trading Day. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing, at the option of the Holder, interest may accrue on this Note on a quarterly basis. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full upon maturity, conversion or prepayment of this Note, as provided herein. All cash payments received by the Holder in respect of this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and thereafter to the repayment of the outstanding Principal Amount.

 

1.2            Prepayments. This Note may be prepaid at any time during the period from the Original Issue Date until the Maturity Date.

 

2.Events of Default.

 

 
 

 

2.1            Events of Default. An “Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

 

(a)           the Borrower fails to authorize and/or issue Qualified Financing Securities or Conversion Securities (each as defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Note; provided, however, that for purposes of this provision, such failure to issue such Conversion Securities shall not be deemed to occur until ten (10) Business Days after the date of any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3 (“Conversion Date”); or

 

(b)           the Borrower shall commence, or there shall be commenced against the Borrower, a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect or any successor thereto, or the Borrower shall commence any other proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, relating to the Borrower; or there is commenced against the Borrower any such bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding which remains un-dismissed for a period of sixty-one (61) days; or the Borrower is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or the Borrower suffers any appointment of any custodian, private or court appointed receiver or the like for it or any substantial part of its property, which continues un-discharged or un-stayed for a period of sixty one (61) days; or the Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the Borrower shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; or the Borrower shall by any act or failure to act expressly indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or any corporate or other action is taken by the Borrower for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

 

2.2           Acceleration. During the time that any portion of this Note is outstanding, if any Event of Default has occurred and any applicable cure period has expired, the Holder, at its option, may declare that the full principal amount of this Note, together with any accrued interest and other amounts owed pursuant to any other provision of this Note or any other Transaction Document are immediately due and payable in cash (an “Acceleration”). The Holder need not provide and the Borrower hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind; and immediately and without expiration of any grace period, the Holder may enforce any and all rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available under applicable law. Furthermore, a declaration of an Event of Default may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect or impair any of the Holder’s rights with respect to any subsequent Event of Default.

 

3.Conversion.

 

3.1           Conversion Upon a Qualified Equity Financing. After the Original Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, if the Borrower sells and issues common stock (“Qualified Financing Securities”) in an amount of at least $10 million (excluding any converting Notes) in a financing transaction conducted for the principal purpose of raising capital (a “Qualified Financing”), then any principal, currently due interest, accrued interest or other amounts due and payable under this Note (collectively, the “Outstanding Amount”) as of the Conversion Date shall be automatically converted into Qualified Financing Securities. The number of shares of Qualified Financing Securities that may be issued upon a conversion pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Outstanding Amount, by (ii) the Qualified Financing Conversion Price. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of a Qualified Financing, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Holder of such Qualified Financing, the anticipated date of the consummation of such Qualified Financing and a

 

2

 

 

description of the terms of the Qualified Financing. For the purpose of this Section 3.1, “Qualified Financing Conversion Price” shall mean 95% of the price per share paid by the purchasers of the Qualified Financing Securities in the Qualified Financing; provided, however, the Qualified Financing Conversion Price shall not be lower than $4.50.

 

3.2           Conversion Upon Maturity. Upon the Maturity Date, if a Qualified Financing has not occurred, the entire Outstanding Amount shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Maturity Conversion Securities”). The number of shares of Maturity Conversion Securities to be issued upon a conversion under this Section 3.2 shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Outstanding Amount, by (ii) the Maturity Conversion Price. For the purpose of this Section 3.2, “Maturity Conversion Price” shall mean the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the Maturity Date; provided, however, the Maturity Conversion Price shall not be lower than $4.50.

 

3.3           Conversion Mechanics. Upon the occurrence of any conversion pursuant to this Section 3, the Borrower shall deliver a stock certificate to the Holder prior to the close of the fifth (5th) Business Day after a Conversion Date, and the Holder shall physically surrender this Note to the Borrower in connection with such conversion. Prior to any Conversion Date, the Borrower shall authorize, designate and reserve sufficient shares of Qualified Financing Securities or Maturity Conversion Securities, as applicable, such that upon any Conversion Date, such securities are available for issuance without further corporate action of the Borrower.

 

4.             Payment Upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Holder shall be entitled to payment upon such Change in Control in the amount of 105% of the principal amount of this Note, which shall be payable upon the closing of such a Change in Control and shall be in full satisfaction of the Outstanding Amount under this Note. A “Change in Control” shall mean of (a) an acquisition after the date hereof by an individual or legal entity or group of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company, (b) the Company merges into or consolidates with any other Person, or any Person merges into or consolidates with the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the successor entity of such transaction, or (c) the Company sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another Person and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the acquiring entity immediately after the transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the business combination transaction with Gedi Cube Intl Ltd, or any affiliate thereof, shall not be considered a Change in Control.

 

5.             No Stockholder Rights. Except to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents, this Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Borrower, including without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Borrower, unless and to the extent converted into Qualified Financing Securities or Maturity Conversion Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event this Note is converted into Qualified Financing Securities, as a condition to receiving the investor rights applicable to purchasers of the Qualified Financing Securities the Holder will be required to become party to the transaction agreements generally agreed to by such purchasers.

 

6.             Transferability. This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of the original Holder hereof and, subject to this Section 6, may be transferred to (a) any entity controlled by the Holder, (b) any investors in the Holder or their direct assignees or (c) any other accredited investors or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the

Borrower and any agent of the Borrower may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Borrower’s Note register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Borrower nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

7.             Replacement. If this Note is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and an agreement to indemnify Borrower for any resulting claims, all reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower.

 

8.             Waiver. Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.

 

9.             Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Outstanding Amount of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note.

 

10.          Payment Dates; Payment Order of Priority. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments received shall be applied in the following order of priority:

 

(i) first to any amounts due to the Holder for accrued but unpaid interest on this Note; and (ii) then, to principal of this Note.

 

11.           WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES’ ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

4

 

 

12.          Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of laws thereof. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in State of Delaware in connection with any dispute arising under this Note and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions.

  

13.           Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt, or (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next Business Day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next Business Day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

Parker, Esq. of K&L Gates LLP, counsel for the Borrower, by electronic mail to clayton.parker@klgates.com.

 

14.           Entire Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any of the Notes to any Person who is a resident of a jurisdiction in which the issuance of Notes to such Person would constitute a violation of securities, “blue sky”, or other similar laws.

 

1

 

 

(c)           Closing. The Offering may be consummated at such place (or by electronic transmission) as may be reasonably determined by the Company (the “Closing”) to occur on a date and at a time as may be mutually acceptable to the Company and each Subscriber, subject to satisfaction of the terms herein.

At the Closing: (i) Each Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price; and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each Subscriber an executed Note in the principal amount set forth opposite such Subscribers name on the signature pages hereto and dated as of the date of Closing.

 

3.Representations and Warranties of Subscriber.

 

Each Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a)           Reliance on Exemptions. Such Subscriber understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from registration provided in the Securities Act, and acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state agency because it is intended to be an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Such Subscriber understands that the Company is relying upon, and intends that the Company rely upon, the truth and accuracy of, and such Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Securities. The Company may only make offers to sell the Securities to an individual, corporation, association, general or limited partnership, joint venture, trust, estate, limited liability company, other legal entity or organization, or the foreign equivalent of any of the foregoing (each, a “Person”) outside the United States in this Offering and, if applicable, at the time any buy order is originated, the buyer is outside the United States. Such Subscriber has not received an offer to purchase Securities inside the United States and will not originate a buy order inside the United States.

 

(b)           Non-U.S. Person. Such Subscriber is not and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any of the following (each, a “U.S. Person”):

 

(i)            a natural person resident in the United States;

 

(ii)           a partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States;

 

(iii)          an estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. Person;

 

(iv)         a trust of which any trustee is a U.S. Person;

 

2

 

 

(v)          an agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States;

 

(vi)          a non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account any of the foregoing; or

 

(vii)         a partnership or corporation (A) organized or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, and (B) formed by a U.S. Person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.

 

(d)           Investment Purpose. The Securities are being purchased for such Subscriber’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to sale or resale, distribution or fractionalization of the Securities under applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws. Such Subscriber is not acquiring such Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person and was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring such Securities. Such Subscriber will not (i) resell or offer to resell the Securities, or any portion thereof, or (ii) engage in hedging transactions, in each case, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and otherwise in compliance with all applicable securities laws. Furthermore, prior to engaging in any hedging transaction or any resale of the Securities, or any portion thereof, by such Subscriber, such Subscriber shall provide the Company with an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion and in a form acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion, that any such proposed sale or hedging transaction is in compliance with the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Such Subscriber has no contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any Person to sell, distribute, transfer, or pledge to such Person or anyone else the Securities which such Subscriber hereby subscribes to purchase, or any interest therein, and such Subscriber has no present plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement. Such Subscriber agrees that the Company and its affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Securities except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

 

(e)           Risk of Investment. Such Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk in that: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) transferability of the Securities is limited; and (iii) the Company may require substantial additional funds to operate its business and there can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed.

 

(f)            Use of Proceeds. Such Subscriber understands that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used in the development of the Company’s therapies, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

3

 

 

(g)           Prior Investment Experience. Such Subscriber understands the business in which the Company is engaged and has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that such Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. Such Subscriber has prior investment experience, and Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment.

 

(h)           Information and Non-Reliance.

 

(i)            Such Subscriber acknowledges that such Subscriber has carefully reviewed this Subscription Agreement, which such Subscriber acknowledges has been provided to such Subscriber. Such Subscriber has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering and the Subscription Agreement and to obtain such additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of same as such Subscriber reasonably desires in order to evaluate the investment. Such Subscriber understands the Subscription Agreement, and such Subscriber has had the opportunity to discuss any questions regarding the Subscription Agreement with such Subscriber’s counsel or other advisor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the only information upon which such Subscriber has relied is that set forth in the Subscription Agreement and the results of independent investigation by such Subscriber. Such Subscriber has received no representations or warranties from the Company, its employees, agents or attorneys in making this investment decision other than as set forth in the Subscription Agreement. Such Subscriber does not desire to receive any further information.

 

(ii)           Such Subscriber represents that it is not relying on (and will not at any time rely on) any communication (written or oral) of the Company, as investment advice or as a recommendation to purchase the Securities, it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the Securities and the Subscription Agreement shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to purchase the Securities.
