Convertible Note Financing
On July 6, 2023, AVALON GLOBOCARE CORP. (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (“Firstfire”) for the issuance of 13% senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000.00 (collectively the “Notes”) convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, as well as the issuance of up to 25,000 shares of common stock as a commitment fee and warrants for the purchase of up to 76,830 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into that certain security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), creating a security interest in certain property of the Company and its subsidiaries to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes. The transaction closed on July 7, 2023 (the “Closing Date”). Principal amount and interest under the Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the company at a conversion price of $4.5 per share unless the Company fails to make an amortization payment when due, in which case the conversion price shall be the lower of $4.5 or the trading price of the shares, subject to a floor of $1.5.
Firstfire acquired the Notes with principal amount of $500,000.00 and paid the purchase price of $ 475,000.00 after an original issue discount of $25,000.00. On the same Closing Date, the Company issued (i) a warrant to purchase 41,665 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) a warrant to purchase 35,165 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.20 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date, which warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished against payment of the Notes, and (iii) 25,000 shares of common stock to Firstfire as additional consideration for the purchase of the Note, which were earned in full as of the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Company delivered such duly executed Notes, warrants and common stock to Firstfire against delivery of such purchase price.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements and obligations of the parties.
