Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

Multimedia Platforms, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), entered into a securities purchase agreement dated as of December 15, 2015 (the "Purchase Agreement") with Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (the "Purchaser"). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Purchaser will invest $160,000 ("Investment Amount") in exchange for a Senior Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $176,000 (the "Principal Amount") and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 176,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), for an exercise price of $0.40 per share for a period of five (5) years (the "Warrants").

 

The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on December 15, 2015 (the "Closing Date"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company issued the Note and Warrant to the Purchaser.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by, among and for the benefit of the parties. The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of the Purchaser and its affiliates in the event that the Purchaser incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses related to a breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Note

 

The face amount of the purchase price under the Note is $264,000. The principal sum of $176,000.00 represents the actual amount of the purchase price, which is $160,000, plus a 10% original issue discount. The maturity date of the Note is June 16, 2016 (the "Maturity Date") and under the terms of the Note, the Company agreed to pay the Purchaser as follows:

 

 

·

if paid by the Maturity Date, the principal sum of $176,000.00 and interest at the rate of five percent (5%) (the "Interest Rate") per annum;

 

·

if $0.00 of principal is paid by the Maturity Date, then the sum of the face amount of the purchase price of $264,000.00 will be paid, in the discretion of the Purchaser, in the form of cash or conversion into Common Stock plus interest; or

 

·

if a portion of the principal is paid plus interest in cash by the Maturity Date, the face amount of the purchase price of $264,000 will be reduced by the amount that is 150% of the amount paid in cash by the Maturity Date.

 

The Note is unsecured but is a senior obligation of the Company, with priority over all existing and future indebtedness (as defined in the Note) of the Company, except that the Note is treated pari passu with future indebtedness that is equal to, or exceeds, $250,000.00.

 

Under the terms of the Note, the Purchaser has the right to convert at any time beginning on the Maturity Date. The conversion price is $0.30. If, prior to the repayment or conversion of the Note, the Company consummates a registered or unregistered primary offering of its securities for capital raising purposes, the Purchaser has the right to (x) demand full repayment as determined under the terms of the notes or (y) convert any outstanding principal amount and interest into Common Stock at the closing of such primary offering at a conversion price equal to the $0.30. If an event of default (as defined in the note) occurs, the conversion price equals the lower of (A) $0.30 and (B) a 10% discount to the offering price to investors in the primary offering.

Under the terms of the Note, the Company agreed to reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of a number of conversion shares equal to the greater of: (a) 5 million shares of Common Stock or (b) the sum of (i) the number of conversion shares issuable upon the full conversion of the Note multiplied by (ii) three (3).

 

Under the terms of the Note, the Company may pre-pay the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest upon three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Purchaser. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note, the pre-payment amount will be equal to the sum of: (w) (A) within 90 days of the Closing Date, 110% and (B) thereafter, 115%, multiplied by principal amount, plus accrued and default interest.

 

The issuance of the Note to the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
