On June 12, 2018, Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a short-term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 from World Technology East II Limited (“WTE2”). WTE2 is a Hong Kong company owned equally by Carl W. Rausch, the Company’s CEO and a director, and Conroy Chi-Heng Cheng, a director of the Company.

To evidence the loan, the Company issued WTE2 a promissory note (the “WTE2 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000. The WTE2 Note is an unsecured obligation of the Company and is not convertible into equity securities of the Company. Principal and interest under the WTE2 Note is due and payable June 12, 2019, however, in the event that the Company raises in excess of $1,000,000 in equity financing, then the Company will use part of its proceeds to pay off the WTE2 Note. Interest accrues on the WTE2 Note at the rate of 10.0% per annum. The WTE2 Note contains terms and events of default customary for similar transactions. The Company is using the net proceeds from the transaction for general business and working capital purposes.

The description of the terms and conditions of the WTE2 Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of the WTE2 Note, which is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
