Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective December 4, 2023, Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into and closed a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to purchase a convertible promissory note from the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $45,000 (the “Note”), for a purchase price of $45,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds therefrom for general working capital purposes.

The principal and interest on the Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the option of Investor at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note (the “Conversion Shares”) at a thirty five percent (35%) to the average of the lowest three (3) traded prices of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days prior to conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and adjustments for mergers, consolidations, reorganizations and similar events set forth in the Note, other than a transfer or sale of all or substantially all Company assets. Pursuant to the Note, the Company is required to maintain an initial reserve of at least 500% of the number of Conversion Shares, subject to any increase of such reserved amount to reflect the Company’s obligations under the Note.

The maturity date of the Note is September 15, 2024 and the Note bears interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, which may be increased to twenty-two percent (22%) in the event of a default. During the first 60 days following the date of the Note, the Company has the right to prepay the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due under the Note, at a one hundred ten percent (110%) premium of the face amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, which increases to (i) one hundred fifteen percent (115%) if prepaid after 60 days, but less than 91 days from the issuance date, (ii) one hundred twenty percent (120%) if prepaid after 90 days, but less than 121 days from the issuance date, (iii) one hundred twenty five percent (125%) if prepaid after 120 days, but less than 151 days from the issuance date, and (iv) one hundred twenty nine percent (129%) if prepaid after 150 days, but less than 181 days from the issuance date. After this initial 180-day period, the Company does not have a right to prepay the Note.

The Note contains certain events of default, including failure to pay principal and interest when due, failure to timely issue the Conversion Shares, failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC markets (which specifically includes the quotation platforms maintained by the OTC Markets Group) or an equivalent replacement exchange, failure to comply with its reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a breach of certain covenants in the Purchase Agreement, default by the Company under any other note issued to the Investor, as well as certain customary events of default set forth in the Note, including, among others, breach of covenants, representations or warranties, insolvency, bankruptcy, and liquidation. Upon an event of default, the Note will become immediately due and payable by the Company.

The foregoing descriptions of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Note, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) and are incorporated herein by reference.
