ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

 

A.Exchange of Smea2z Note.

 

Effective 17 November 2020, Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with an existing lender to settle a dispute regarding a convertible promissory note, and exchanged that note for a newly issued note. The disputed note, referred to herein as the “Smea2z Note”, was originally issued on 23 October 2018 in favor of SMEA2Z LLC in the original principal amount of Two Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($220,000), with a variable conversion feature at discount to the market price, and a maturity date of 23 July 2019. Subsequent to the issuance of the Smea2z Note, a series of agreements were executed which amended various terms and conditions of the Smea2z Note, resulting in, among other things, a purported current principal balance of Six Hundred Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Dollars ($608,850), a variable conversion feature at a deeper discount to the market price, and a maturity date of 30 June 2021. The Smea2z Note was recently acquired by the current holder.

 

The Company and the holder executed a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) under which, among things, they agreed to settle all disputes regarding the Smea2z Note and release each other from all liability under the Smea2z Note. As a result, the Smea2z Note was cancelled, and a new note was issued (the “Exchange Note”) in exchange for the Smea2z Note.

 

The Exchange Note was issued as of 17 November 2020 in the reduced original principal amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000). The Exchange Note further provides as follows:

 

  (1) No further interest shall accrue so long as there is no event of default.
     
  (2) Maturity date remains the same: 30 June 2021.
     
  (3) No right to prepay.
     
  (4) Conversion price is fixed at $0.0035.
     
  (5) Typical events of default for such a note, as well as a default in the event the closing price for the Company’s common stock is less than $0.0035 for at least 5-consecutive days.
     
  (6) Leak out provision:

 

  (a) One conversion per week, for no more than forty million shares;
     
  (b) If the trading volume for the Company’s common stock exceeds fifty million shares on any day, a second conversion may be exercised during that week, again for no more than forty million shares (a total of eighty million shares for that week).

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Settlement Agreement and the Exchange Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the actual language contained in the Settlement Agreement and the Exchange Note, respectively.

 

  B. Exchange of Warrants.

 

In a separate transaction, effective 18 November 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with three existing investors in the Company (the “Holders”), each of which was the holder of warrants issued the Company. The total number of warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) held by the Holders totaled 617,682 (which were accounted for in the Company’s financial statements at approximately 300,000,000 warrants after resets and derivative liabilities). The Company and the Holders agreed to exchange the Warrants for three newly issued promissory notes (the “Warrant Exchange Notes”). As a result of the exchange, the Warrants are now cancelled and of no further force and effect.
