Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

As previously disclosed on October 22, 2018, in a Form 8-K for Zoompass Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company and Virtublock Global Corp. (“Virtublock”) entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 17, 2018, pursuant to which the Company purchased certain business assets that represents a business from Virtublock (the “Assets”) in consideration of the issuance of 44,911,724 shares of Company common stock (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). Virtublock is controlled by Mahmoud Hashem, a former officer and director of the Company.

 

Following entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company determined that the Assets should be deemed impaired because such Assets have a market price less than the value initially listed on the Company's balance sheet or assumed/set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

As a result of such impairment, the parties entered into a General Release agreement, dated November 29, 2019, pursuant to which the Stock Purchase Agreement was deemed cancelled, each party acknowledged and agreed that no party has or shall have any claim with respect to intellectual property, software or other assets owned by any other party and that no agreements exist or remain unsatisfied with respect to the transfer of any asset from a releasing party to any other party, and Virtublock assigned and transferred the 44,911,724 shares of common stock of the Company to the Company for cancellation. As a result such shares were cancelled and the total outstanding shares of the Company was reduced from 116,095,498 to 71,183,774, as of February 27, 2020. This reversal of the 44,911,724 shares of common stock will be recognized in the Q4 financials of Zoompass Holdings Inc.

 

Zoompass Holdings Inc, complete a transaction with a third party Canadian entity which resulted in the issuance of 3,319,162 shares. These shares were part of an assignment agreement to retire debt owed to the former CEO of Zommpass.

 

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On February 26, 2020, the sole director of Zoompass Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), approved the issuance of approximately 3,250,000 shares of common stock to officers and directors and a consultant for services, effective March 1, 2020, as follows:

 

Steve Roberts 1,000,000 shares*
   
Emanuel (Manny) Bettencourt 2,000,000 shares
   
Scott Kline 160,000 shares

 

* Mr. Roberts’ share issuance remains subject to ratification by the full board following appointment of additional directors to fill vacancies described below.

 

These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the purchasers agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
