Designation of Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock

 

On December 31, 2015 Bitzio, Inc. (“Bitzio” or the “Company”) filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation designating 520,000 shares of preferred stock as Series E Preferred Stock and a Certificate of Designation designating 800,000 shares of preferred stock as Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Each outstanding share of Series E Preferred Stock will have a preference on liquidation of Ten Dollars ($10). The holder of a share of Series E Preferred Stock will have the right to convert the Ten Dollar value of the share into common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the average closing bid price for Bitzio common stock during the five trading days preceding conversion, except that no conversion is permitted that will result in the holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of Bitzio’s outstanding common stock. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock have no voting rights by reason of those shares, nor do they have any right to participate in any dividends paid by Bitzio.

 

Each outstanding share of Series F Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder into shares of Bitzio common stock. The conversion ratio is such that the full 800,000 Series F shares convert into common shares representing 80% of the fully diluted common shares outstanding after the conversion (which includes all common shares outstanding plus all common shares potentially issuable upon the conversion of all derivative securities not held by the holder). The holder of Series F shares may cast the number of votes at a shareholders meeting or by written consent that equals the number of common shares into which the Series F shares are convertible on the record date for the shareholder action. In the event the Board of Directors declares a dividend payable to Bitzio common shareholders, the holders of Series F shares will receive the dividend that would be payable if the Series F shares were converted into Bitzio common shares prior to the dividend. In the event of a liquidation of Bitzio, the holders of 800,000 Series F shares will receive a preferential distribution equal to 80% of the net assets available for distribution to the shareholders.

 

Acquisition of Viridis Capital LLC

 

On December 31, 2015, Bitzio acquired sole ownership of Viridis Capital LLC (“Viridis”) from FLUX Carbon Corporation (“FCC”), an entity owned by Kevin Kreisler. In consideration for the transfer of Viridis, Bitzio issued to FCC 800,000 shares of Bitzio’s Series F Preferred Stock. The principal asset owned by Viridis at that time was 800,115 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued by GreenShift Corporation (“GreenShift”), a Delaware corporation.

 

On the same date, Bitzio issued to EXO Opportunity Fund LLC (“EXO”) 200,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, and received in return 187,029 shares of GreenShift Series D Preferred Stock. One of the two members of EXO is an entity owned by the father of Kevin Kreisler, the Chief Executive Officer of GreenShift.

 

Subsequently, on that same date, Bitzio surrendered 987,144 Series D shares and paid $2,500,000 in cash to GreenShift in exchange for 800,000 shares of GreenShift’s Series G Preferred Stock, corresponding to an 80% equity interest in GreenShift.

 

GreenShift Corporation (OTC Pink: GERS) develops and commercializes clean technologies that facilitate the more efficient use of natural resources. GreenShift markets primarily to the U.S. ethanol industry, where it offers technologies that improve the profitability of licensed ethanol producers. GreenShift generates revenue by licensing its technologies to ethanol producers, and by providing its licensees with related services.

Credit Line from TCA

 

On December 31, 2015 Bitzio and each of its subsidiaries entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (“TCA”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, TCA loaned $2,900,000 to Bitzio on December 31, 2015. The Credit Agreement contemplates that the lending limit may be increased to $5,000,000, on Bitzio’s request and at TCA’s discretion, provided that amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will be capped based upon lending ratios specified in the Credit Agreement. $2,500,000 from the amount loaned on December 31, 2015, was used by Bitzio to purchase the Series G shares from GreenShift, as described above.

 

The $2.9 million loan made on December 31, 2015 is, and any future loan will be, reflected in a Senior Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note (the “TCA Note”), which has a maturity date of December 31, 2016. The TCA Note bears interest at 11% per annum. In the event of a default under the TCA Note or with the consent of Bitzio, TCA may convert portions of principal and interest due under the TCA Note into shares of Bitzio common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of Bitzio common stock during the five trading days preceding conversion; provided, however, that no conversion is permitted that will result in the Note-holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of Bitzio’s outstanding common stock.

 

The Credit Agreement required that Bitzio pay an advisory fee to TCA in the amount of $3,200,000. Payment was made on December 31, 2015 by the issuance of 320,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to TCA. The Credit Agreement further provides that, if Bitzio has satisfied all obligations owing to TCA on or prior to March 30, 2016, then the advisory fee will be reduced to $1,600,000.

 

To secure its obligations under the Note and Credit Agreement, Bitzio pledged to TCA all of its assets, as did each of Bitzio’s subsidiaries.

 

Change in Management

 

On January 1, 2016 Hubert Blanchette resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer of Bitzio and from his position as a member of the Board of Directors of Bitzio.

 

Upon receipt of Mr. Blanchette’s resignation, Marilu Brassington, the sole remaining member of the Board of Directors, elected Kevin Kreisler to fill the vacancy on the Bitzio Board of Directors, and also appointed Kevin Kreisler to serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bitzio. Information regarding Mr. Kreisler follows:
