On March 29, 2016, Gopher Protocol Inc. (the “Company”) contributed all of its rights relating to its proprietary microchip that is within a sticky patch package (the “Patch”) to Guardian Patch LLC (“Guardian LLC”) in consideration of 50% of the profit generated by Guardian LLC and a commitment from Guardian LLC that it is responsible for investing all needed funds for the purpose of developing the Patch and related products to the Patch. Since April 2016, Guardian also provided loans to the Company for the Company’s working capital purposes, outside of its commitment to develop the Patch, in the aggregate amount of $660,131.80 (the “Loans”). On May 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Conversion Agreement with Guardian LLC pursuant to which the parties agreed to convert the Loans provided by Guardian LLC to the Company into a Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $660,131.80 (the “Note”).

The Note bears interest at 6%, matures May 30, 2019 and is convertible into the Company’s common stock, at Guardian LLC’s option, at a conversion price equal to 50% of the lowest closing price for the common stock on the principal market during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, which, in no event, will be less than $0.01 per share. Guardian LLC has agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The Note was offered and sold to Guardian LLC in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Guardian LLC is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
