Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Labrys Fund Financing

 

On April 16, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), Grom Social Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Labrys Purchase Agreement”) with Labrys Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Labrys”), pursuant to which the Company issued to Labrys a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “Labrys Note”). In connection with the issuance of the Labys Note, Labrys was also issued a five-year warrant (the “Labrys Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Labrys Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price of $0.06 per share. The net proceeds received by the Company were $266,000, after deducting an original issue discount in the amount of $30,000 and $4,000 to cover Labrys’s legal fees. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Labrys Note has a principal balance of $300,000, and a stated maturity date of one year from the Effective Date. The Labrys Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, which is payable when the Labrys Note becomes due, whether at maturity, or upon acceleration, or by prepayment, or otherwise, with the understanding that the first twelve months of interest (equal to $36,000) is guaranteed and deemed to be earned in full as of the date of issuance. In the event the Company fails to pay any amount when due under the Labrys Note, the interest rate will increase to the lesser of 16%, or the maximum amount permitted by law. Labrys may convert any amount due under the Labrys Note into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Labrys Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.06 per share. Labrys may not convert any portion of the Labrys Note that would cause it, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price and number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Labrys Note will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of any merger, consolidation, distribution of shares, or other dilutive issuances.

 

The Labrys Warrant provides for the purchase of up to 3,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, an exercise price of $0.06 per share. The Labrys Warrant is exercisable for a term of five years from the Effective Date. Labrys may not exercise the Labrys Warrant with respect to any number of Labrys Warrant Shares that would cause it, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. The Labrys Warrant may be exercised for cash, or, if the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than the Labrys Warrant’s exercise price, the Labrys Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis. The number of shares of common stock to be deliverable upon exercise of the Labrys Warrant is subject to adjustment for subdivision or consolidation of shares and other dilutive events, or in the event the Company effects a reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, disposition of assets, or other fundamental transaction.

 

Pursuant to the Labrys Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to give Labrys a right of first refusal to participate in any offer or sale of the Company’s equity or debt securities for as long as the Labrys Note is outstanding. In addition, the Company granted Labrys piggyback registration rights with respect to the Labrys Conversion Shares and the Labrys Warrant Shares. Also, the Company agreed that, while any of the Labrys Note, the Labrys Conversion Shares, the Labrys Warrants, or the Labrys Warrant Shares remain outstanding, it would not sell securities on more favorable terms than those provided to Labrys without adjusting Labrys’s securities to incorporate those more favorable terms. Further, the Company agreed that, while any amount remains unpaid under the Labrys Note, it would not enter into any subsequent variable rate transactions.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Labrys Purchase Agreement, Labrys Note and Labrys Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
