Chapter 11 Filing

 

On October 8, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), SITO Mobile, Ltd. (the “Company”) and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries SITO Mobile Solutions, Inc., and SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLC (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Chapter 11 cases are being administered under Case No. 20-21435, Case No. 20-21436 and Case No. 20-21437 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors will be filing motions seeking Bankruptcy Court approval to continue borrowing under certain existing Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company on March 31, 2020 (the “Notes”) to certain investors (the “Note Investors”). Subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, the Company would have the ability to borrow up to a total of $9,500,000. The Notes accrue simple interest on any unpaid principal at the rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum. A portion of the principal amount and accrued interest outstanding under the Notes is convertible at the election of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at $.18 per share. The Notes were issued pursuant to a certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2020, between the Company and the Note Investors (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued warrants (the “Warrant”) to the Note Investors at an exercise price of $0.63 per share. The Warrant expires on the one-year anniversary of the date of issuance or upon the Company’s entering into certain fundamental transactions.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

Additional information on the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court and other general information about the Chapter 11 Cases, is available with the New Jersey Bankruptcy Court.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The filing of this Item 7.01 of this report shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

Cautionary Information Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

 

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 case.
