Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to correct certain information provided in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. on January 17, 2017 (the “Original 8-K”). All other Items presented in the Original 8-K restated herein remain unchanged.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 1, 2016, Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) conducted the initial closing of a private placement offering to accredited investors (the “Offering”) of units of the Company’s securities by entering into a subscription agreement with an “accredited investor” (“Investor”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000. On December 30, 2016, the Company conducted the final closing of the Offering. In the aggregate, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (each a “Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with 6 “accredited investors” (the “Investors”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $400,000.

The Company conducted the Offering, through its placement agent, Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), offering a minimum of $100,000 up to a maximum of $400,000 of units of its securities (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (a) a 10% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Note in the aggregate face principal amount of $100,000 (the “Note”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Conversion Shares”) at an initial conversion price of $0.30 per share (the “Conversion Price”), and (b) a five-year warrant (“Warrants”) to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock (“Warrant Shares”) at $0.30 per share (“Exercise Price”) for $100,000 per Unit (the “Unit Purchase Price”), subject to pro-rata adjustment for purchases approved by the Company for less than the Unit Purchase Price.

The Conversion Price of the Note and the Exercise Price of the Warrants are subject to adjustment for issuances of the Company’s common stock or any equity linked instruments or securities convertible into the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of less than the prevailing Conversion Price or Exercise Price. Such adjustment shall result in the Conversion Price and Exercise Price being reduced to such lower purchase price, subject to carve-outs as described therein.

The Notes issued to the Investors, bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and matures on the first (1^st) anniversary of the issuance date of such note.

In connection with the Offering, the Company retained the Placement Agent, a registered FINRA broker dealer, to carry out the Offering on a “best-efforts” basis. For services in its capacity as Placement Agent, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent, subject to certain exceptions: (i) a cash fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Placement Agent in the Offering, (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance of three percent (3%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Placement Agent in the Offering, and (iii) shares of Common Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of Conversion Shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes sold in the Offering. The Placement Agent may reallocate a portion of its compensation to other licensed securities broker-dealers assisting in the sale and placement of the Units.

Additionally, on December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subsequent Accredited Investor Subscription Agreement”), substantially the same in form and substance to the Subscription Agreements, with an accredited investor (“Accredited Investor”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $225,000 (the “Subsequent Debt Financing”). Though not part of the Offering, the Accredited Investor was issued a Note and Warrants on identical terms as those investing in the Offering. The Placement Agent did not receive compensation for the Subsequent Debt Financing.

The foregoing description of the Offering does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Subscription Agreement, the form of Note and the form of Warrant, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively to the this Current Report on 8-K/A and are incorporated by reference.

Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference. 

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D the Securities Act.

Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure. 

The information provided under this Item 7.01 is "furnished" and shall not be deemed "filed" with the Securities and Exchange Commission or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933.
