Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Effective January 22, 2018, Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”), pursuant to which Power Up purchased a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) from the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $153,000.00, such principal and the interest thereon convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of Power Up. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on January 25, 2018.

 

The maturity date of the Note is January 22, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The Note shall bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which interest may be paid by the Company to Power Up in shares of common stock, but shall not be payable until the Note becomes payable, whether at the Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment, as described below.

 

Additionally, Power Up has the option to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of the Note, starting on July 21, 2018 and ending on the later of the Maturity Date and the date the Default Amount, hereinafter defined, is paid if an event of default occurs, for shares of the Company’s common stock at the then-applicable conversion price.

 

The conversion price for the Note shall be $0.065, subject to certain Market Price (as defined below) adjustment. If the Market Price is greater than or equal to $0.10, the conversion price shall be the greater of 65% of the Market Price (“Variable Conversion Price”) and $0.065. In the event Market Price is less than $0.10, the conversion price shall be the Variable Conversion Price. As defined in the Note, the “Market Price” shall be the average of the lowest three closing bid prices during the ten day trading period prior to and including the day the Company receives a notice of conversion from Power Up on the electronic quotation system or applicable principal securities exchange or trading market or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” during the ten prior trading days, including the day upon which the Company receives a notice of conversion from Power Up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Power Up shall be restricted from effecting a conversion if such conversion, along with other shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Power Up and its affiliates, exceeds 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Note may be prepaid until 180 days from the issuance date. If the Note is prepaid within 30 days of the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 112% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; if the Note is prepaid after 31 days from the issuance date, but less than 60 days from the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 117% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; if the Note is prepaid after 61 days from the issuance date, but less than 90 days from the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 122% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; if the Note is prepaid after 91 days from the issuance date, but less than 120 days from the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 127% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; if the Note is prepaid after 121 days from the issuance date, but less than 150 days from the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 132% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; and if the Note is prepaid after 151 days from the issuance date, but prior to 180 days from the issuance date, then the prepayment premium shall be 137% of the face amount plus any accrued interest.

 

 

 

 

So long as the Note is outstanding, the Company covenants not to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets outside the ordinary course of business without prior written consent from Power Up. Upon a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or certain reorganization, merger or consolidation events, Power Up may, at its option, require the Company to pay the Default Amount, hereinafter defined.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company covenants to pay or reimburse Power Up’s fees and expenses in the amount of $3,000.00.

 

Other than as described above, the Note contains certain events of default, including failure to timely issue shares upon receipt of a notice of conversion, as well as certain customary events of default, including, among others, breach of covenants, representations or warranties, insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation and failure by the Company to pay the principal and interest due under the Note.

 

Additional events of default shall include, among others:

 

  Failure to reserve at least five times the number of shares issuable upon full conversion of the Note;
     
  The delisting of the Company’s common stock from any exchange or quotation system or if the Company fails to meet its required reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”);
     
  The cessation of operations of the Company or if the Company admits that it is generally unable to pay its debts, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Company cannot pay its debts as they become due; and
     
  The restatement by the Company of any financial statements filed in its reports under the Exchange Act at any time after June 21, 2018 if the result of such restatement would constitute a material adverse effect on the rights of Power Up with respect to the Note and the Purchase Agreement.

 

Upon an event of default, interest on the outstanding principal shall accrue at a default interest rate of 22% per annum. In the event that the Company fails to deliver to Power Up shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of principal or interest under the Note within three business days of a notice of conversion by Power Up, the Company shall incur a penalty of $500, provided, however, that such fee shall not be due if the failure to deliver the shares is a result of a third party such as the transfer agent.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of certain events of default, the Note will become immediately due and payable and the Company will pay Power Up, in full satisfaction of its obligations in the Note, an amount equal to 150% of an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Note plus any interest accrued upon such event of default or prior events of default (the “Default Amount”).

 

Any shares to be issued pursuant to any conversion of the Note shall be issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Note for general working capital purposes.
