Under the terms of the note, the note holder may, at any time, convert the unpaid principal of the note, or any portion thereof, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price equal to 25% of the Company’s total authorized common stock, determined at $1.90 per share at the date of issuance. In addition, the note contained certain anti-dilution provisions, as defined.

 

The Company was required to maintain a cash balance of $50,000 of the outstanding principal amount at all times, unrestricted and lien free (as amended) until December 31, 2017.

 

BICX Holding had the right, until December 10, 2016, to purchase another convertible note from the Company in a principal amount of up to $2,500,000 for a total aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 (the “Maximum Purchase Price”). The Company and BICX Holding agreed to extend this deadline and, on March 3, 2017, the parties entered into a First Amendment to the Note (the “First Amendment”).

 

Pursuant to the First Amendment, BIXC Holding invested another $1,660,000 for a total aggregate purchase price of $4,160,000. Based on the amount invested, BICX Holding will return the Note and the Company will issue BICX Holding a new note for $4,160,000 convertible into 42.43% of the Company’s total authorized common stock. The other terms of the new note will be identical to the Note. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the parties agreed that BICX Holding does not have the right to appoint a consultant or, if the Company’s common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, an independent member of the Board. In addition, the Company is not entitled to a break-up fee.

 

On June 29, 2017, the parties entered into the Second Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement and the March 2017 Note (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amends the March 2017 Note such that there is no longer an anti-dilution provision in the note. This provision in the March 2017 Note created a derivative liability for the Company which is no longer present.

 

In addition, the Second Amendment amends the March 2017 Note and the Note Purchase Agreement such that the Company agreed to not engage in any financing at a purchase price below the BIXC Holding purchase price. Finally, the Second Amendment amends the Note Purchase Agreement such that BICX Holding no longer has a right to participate in a subsequent financing in which the Company engages.

 

The note is secured by all of assets of the Company and is ranked senior to all of the Company’s debt currently outstanding or hereafter, unless prohibited by law.

 

The Company had identified the embedded derivatives related to the above described note. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion and reset features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Notes and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

 

At inception of the 2017 additions, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of $11,023,244 of embedded derivatives. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 167.85% to 168.32%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.26% to 1.37%, (4) expected life of 2.21 to 2.25 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $9.00 to 11.22 per share.

 

The determined fair value of the debt derivatives of $11,023,244 was charged as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the note with the remainder of $9,363,244 charged to current period operations as non-cash interest expense.
