Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 3, 2013, Elephant Talk Communications Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Investor SPA”) with  Crede CGI III Ltd. and certain other investors (“DJ Investors”) placed by the placement agent described below, relating to a registered direct public offering by the Company (the “DJ Offering”) of 10,000,000 shares (the “Investor Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Investor Warrant Shares”). The Shares are being sold at a price of $ 0.75 per share, and the Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.975 per Warrant Share.

 

On June 3, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Affiliates SPA”) with Mr. Steven van der Velden, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board (“Affiliated Investor”), relating to a registered direct public offering by the Company (the “Affiliates Offering”) of 4,000,000 shares (the “Affiliates Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, and warrants (the “Affiliates Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Affiliates Warrant Shares”). The Affiliate Shares are being sold at a price of $ 0.75 per share, and the Affiliate Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.975 per Warrant Share on the same terms as the Investor SPA and Investor Warrants. The Investor SPA and Affiliates SPA, the Investor Shares and Affiliate Shares, the Investor Warrant and Affiliates Warrant, the Investor Warrant Shares and Affiliates Warrant Shares and the Investor Offering and Affiliate Offering are collectively referred to as SPA, Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares and the Offering, respectively. DJ Investor and Affiliated Investor are collectively referred to as the Investors.

 

The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about June 6, 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

SPA

 

The SPA contains certain covenants that the Company is required to comply with and certain consent rights of the Investors, including, but not limited to:

 

the Company will be precluded from engaging in securities offerings for a period of 90 days from the date of execution of the SPA, subject to certain exceptions;

 

2
 

 

the Company will be precluded, for a period of 180 days from the date of execution of the SPA, to engage in any “variable rate” financing transactions; and

 

the Company’s common stock shall be trading on the NYSE MKT.

 

Warrants

 

The Warrants have a five year term from the date of issuance, are exercisable at the price of $0.975 per share immediately from the date of issuance and include provisions governing the adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares exercisable thereunder upon stock dividends, stock splits, and other events. The Warrants may be transferred by a holder thereof in accordance with applicable securities laws.

 

In the event that among other things, the registration statement relating to the shares of Common Stock is not effective, a holder of Warrants also will have the right, in its sole discretion, to exercise its Warrants for a net number of Warrant Shares pursuant to the cashless exercise procedures specified in the Warrants. Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part, and any portion of a Warrant not exercised prior to the termination date shall be and become void and of no value. The absence of an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration does not alleviate the Company’s obligation to deliver Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant.

 

Each Warrant also allows the holder the ability, at any time after 90 days from the issuance of the Warrant through its expiration, to put the Warrant back to the Company in exchange for shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the Warrant at the time of the exchange based on a negotiated Black-Scholes formula. Under certain circumstances, the holder may receive cash in lieu of such shares of Common Stock.

 

Under certain circumstances after 90 days from the issuance of the Warrant, in the event that the Common Stock trades at a price that is 20% or more above the exercise price of the Warrants for a period of twenty consecutive trading days (with an average daily volume equal to or greater than $350,000), the Company may require the holder of the Warrants to exercise the Warrants for cash.

 

If, at any time a Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates any fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any consolidation or merger into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for other securities or other consideration, the holder of any Warrants will thereafter receive, the securities or other consideration to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then deliverable upon the exercise or exchange of such Warrants would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger or other transaction.

 

The exercisability or exchangeability of the Warrants may be limited in certain circumstances if, after giving effect to such exercise or exchange, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) more than 9.9% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

The descriptions of the material terms of the SPA and the Warrants contain in this Report are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1 respectively. The legal opinion and consent of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP relating to the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
