Item 1.01           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 14, 2015, we finally resolved an outstanding dispute with another creditor as referenced in our Form 8-K that we filed on September 23, 2015. With the resolution of this dispute, the Investment Agreement dated October 16, 2015 (the “Investment Agreement”) and that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated October 16, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS Investments, LLC (the “Investor”) then became effective. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement:

 

(1)

We are obligated to prepare and file the Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Commission for the registered offering and sale of up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Offering”) of our common stock (the “Subject Shares”) over a twenty-four (24) month period. We believe that if we are successful and if the funds are received as provided by the Investment Agreement, we may be able to better implement our business plan. In that scenario and under the Investment Agreement, we have the right to repay the $5,000,000 through the issuance of the Subject Shares underlying the equity line of credit for the funds received from the Investor. If the Investor fulfills its obligations, the Equity Line of Credit represents a line of credit to be advanced to the Company. As currently planned and if market conditions and other circumstances allow, we anticipate that the Offering will likely be undertaken as a shelf offering in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and in accordance with that certain Registration Rights Agreement entered into between us and the Investor. We are also required to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement for the Offering declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2)As currently anticipated and if funds are received from the Investor, all of the funds advanced to the Company under the Equity Line of Credit carry an interest rate of twelve percent (12%).

 

(3)In furtherance of the Investment Agreement, the Company also issued that certain unsecured promissory note, dated December 4, 2015 to the Investor in the stated original principal amount of seventy-four thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($74,250.00) (the “Initial Bridge Note”). Further, the Company and the Investor agreed that the Company will later issue to the Investor five (5) additional monthly promissory notes each in the original stated amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Monthly Increment”) as additional bridge financing (the “Additional Bridge Notes”) subject to the Company’s receipt of said funds from the Investor, on a monthly basis with the Monthly Increment to be delivered to the Company within five (5) business days after the date at which the Investment Agreement was executed and continuing thereafter with each of the five (5) additional remaining Monthly Increments to be delivered on or before the fifth calendar day of each month immediately following the date of the Investment Agreement or until the earlier date at which the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investment Agreement) becomes effective. The Bridge Note carries an interest rate of 12% and the maturity date of the Bridge Note is June 4, 2016. We anticipate that our receipt of the funds pursuant to the Bridge Note will also be subject to market conditions and our ability to successfully implement our business plan.

 

(4)The Company also issued that certain secured promissory note to the Investor in the amount of forty thousand dollars ($40,000.00) (the “Commitment Fee Note”). The Commitment Fee Note carries an interest rate of 12% and the maturity date is June 17, 2016.

 

(5)Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company has an obligation to reserve shares of its Common Stock to meet its obligations to the Investor. In addition, the Company has assumed certain other obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to prepare and file the Registration Statement, to remain compliant with its disclosure and reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the 1933 Act, and, if certain events occur, to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized common stock or to effect a reverse split of its common stock. These and other conditions are set forth in the Investment Agreement attached hereto.

 

Item 8.01           Other Events

 

As stated above, on December 14, 2015 we resolved a dispute with a creditor and as a result, the Investment Agreement and that certain Registration Rights Agreement with GHS Investments, LLC (the “Investor”) became effective since until we resolved the dispute with the creditor, these agreements were not effective. In addition, the Company entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor and also issued that certain Bridge Note and Commitment Fee Note to the Investor.

 

Factors for Investors to Consider

 

We are taking steps that we hope may allow us to develop a beverage business. We have incurred losses since inception and we anticipate that we will likely incur significant additional losses in the future as well. We have limited operations and only recently revised business plans and strategies. As a result, we lack a substantial operating history that would allow any purchaser of our Common Stock to evaluate our plans and strategies.

There can be no assurance that our planned operations will be successful or that we will be profitable or achieve positive cash flow or both in the future. We also have no record of paying any dividends on our Common Stock and we have no present plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

If the transactions with the Investor do not result in the Company receiving all or nearly all of the funds set forth in the Investment Agreement, we likely will require significant additional capital to implement our business plan. Currently we are dependent upon the transactions set forth in the Investment Agreement for the additional capital that we need. In the event that the Investor defaults on its obligations, we may not be able to raise capital from other sources or otherwise implement our business plan in any meaningful way. We could then face a period of protracted losses, negative cash flow, and lasting reputational damage as well.

 

We have not received and we do not anticipate receiving any commitment from any underwriter, broker-dealer, or other source of financing for the additional capital needed to implement our business plan. For these and other reasons, we are substantially dependent upon the Investor and its ability to honor its financial commitments to us. In all of these matters, there can be no assurance that if the transactions with the Investor are not successful, that we will raise any additional capital or, if we do, that we can raise any capital in the near future and on terms that may be considered reasonable in light of our current circumstances.

 

We also have only two corporate officers and only limited managerial experience. While we believe that our managerial resources are sufficient and appropriate in our current financial circumstances, the lack of additional management and the lack of managerial time when combined with the Company’s limited financial resources likely limits our ability to evaluate opportunities and develop effective strategies in facing a very competitive market with competitors that have significantly more managerial; and financial resources.
