Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 15, 2020, ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) issued an unsecured, partially convertible, promissory note for an aggregate principal amount of $8 million to JXVII Trust (“JXVII”) and an unsecured, partially convertible, promissory note for an aggregate principal amount of $2 million to Justin J. Leonard (“Leonard,” and together with JXVII, the “Lenders”).
Each of the two unsecured, partially convertible, promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”) is due and payable on the third anniversary of the date on which the Note was funded (for each Note, the “Closing Date”) and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per year from the Closing Date, payable on a quarterly basis, until the Note is repaid in full. The Company has the right to prepay the Notes at any time after the 13 month anniversary of the Closing Date upon providing written notice to the Lenders, and may prepay the Notes prior to such time with the consent of the Lenders. The Lenders have the right, at any time, and from time to time, on and after the 13 month anniversary of the Closing Date to convert up to an aggregate of $3 million of the Notes into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. Repayment of the Notes has been guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmaloz Manufacturing, Inc.
The Notes contain customary events of default. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the Notes may be accelerated. The Notes also contain certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to create, incur, assume or permit to exist, directly or indirectly, any lien (other than certain permitted liens described in the Notes) securing any indebtedness of the Company, and prohibits the Company from distributing or reinvesting the proceeds from any divestment of assets (other than in the ordinary course) without the prior approval of the Lenders.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, product development and commercialization expenditures, and acquisitions of companies, businesses, technologies and products within and outside the consumer products industry.
The foregoing description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Notes, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.
