Exchanges of OID Notes into Common Stock and Warrants
Effective
as of October 28, 2016, certain holders (each an “OID
Noteholder” and collectively, the “OID
Noteholders”) of MetaStat, Inc.’s (the
“Company”) non-convertible OID promissory notes (the
“OID Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$553,000 (the “OID Exchange Amount”) exercised their
voluntary exchange right (the “OID Note Exchange”),
pursuant to the terms of the OID Notes, to act as purchasers in the
Private Placement (as defined below) by exchanging the OID Notes at
the OID Exchange Amount in lieu of investing new cash
subscriptions.
The
Company and the OID Noteholders entered into a subscription
agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to
which the Company sold 55.3 units, with each unit consisting of (i)
5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Common Stock”), at an effective price
of $2.00 per share (the “Effective Price”), and (ii)
and five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase
2,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), at
a purchase price of $3.00 per share (the “Private
Placement”). For the benefit of certain holders that would be
deemed to have beneficial ownership in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%,
the Company may issue shares of its Series A-2 Convertible
Preferred Stock (the “Series A-2 Preferred”), in lieu
of issuing to such holders shares of Common Stock in the Private
Placement. Each share of Series A-2 Preferred is convertible into
10 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion
Shares”).
Pursuant
to the OID Note Exchange into the Private Placement under the
Subscription Agreement effective as of October 28, 2016, the
Company issued an aggregate of 55.3 units consisting of 210,500
shares of Common Stock, 6,600 shares of Series A-2 Preferred,

Additionally, as a part of the OID Note Exchange, the Company will
repay $8,000 of principal balance to one of the OID
Noteholders.
Following
the OID Note Exchange, one OID Note with a principal balance of
$264,000, held by an existing holder of common and preferred stock,
will remain outstanding. This OID Note matures on November 12,
2016, however, the Company has the sole option to automatically
extend the maturity date of this OID Note to February 12, 2016 (the
“OID Note Extension”) with three (3) days
prior notice. In consideration for the OID Note Extension, the
Company will increase the principal amount of the OID Note by ten
(10%) percent to $290,400.
