Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As of March 18, 2020, Barfresh Food Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (“Purchase Agreement”) with accredited and institutional investors for the sale of common stock and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $5,870,648.54 (“Financing”), the proceeds of which will be used for general working capital.
The initial subscription price of the securities is based on $0.50 per share of common stock (“Per Share Purchase Price”), which price is subject to adjustments as provided in the Purchase Agreement. Investors will receive warrants to purchase 50% of the final number of shares purchased (“Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable for a term of three years at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share, subject to adjustments.
The Company closed on the first tranche of this financing on March 23, 2020 and issued 8,691,301 shares of common stock and Warrants to purchase 4,345,651 shares of common stock to investors. Of the subscribed amounts, $2,045,649 was satisfied through conversion of debt held by current note holders. In addition, other note holders extended the maturity dates of approximately $1,100,000 of convertible notes issued in March 2018 from March 2020 to March 2022 and extended the maturity date of approximately $200,000 of convertible notes issued in November 2018 from November 2020 to November 2021.
The Company expects to have a final closing within 90 days of the initial closing.
With respect to the price adjustments under the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants, if the volume-weighted average trading price for the 20 consecutive trading days that conclude upon 6 months after the initial closing (the “Six Month Price”) exceeds or equals $0.50 per share (the “Target Price”), the Per Share Purchase Price will not be adjusted. If the Six Month Price is less than the Target Price, the Per Share Purchase Price will be automatically reduced to the Six Month Price, but in no event less than $0.35 per Share, in which case the Company shall issue to each investor, pro-rata based on such investor’s investment: (a) shares in a quantity that equals the difference between the number of shares issued to such Purchaser at closing and the number of shares that would have been issued to such purchaser at closing at the Six Month Price; and (b) a warrant for a number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the difference between the number of shares issued to such investor at closing and the number of shares that would have been issued to such investor at closing at the Six Month Price, with an exercise price equal to the sum of $0.10 per share and the Six Month Price, but in no eventless than $0.45 per share. The exercise price per share for each warrant will automatically adjust to the sum of $0.10 per share and the Six-Month Price, but in no event less than $0.45 per share.
The above descriptions of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement and Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents to be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2020.
The disclosures set forth in Item 3.03 are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The disclosures set forth in Item 3.02 and 3.03 describing the financing transaction and modifications to debentures are incorporated herein by this reference.
The transactions discussed in Item 3.02 and 3.03 are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and corresponding provisions of state securities laws or, alternatively, Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, on the basis that (i) offers were made to a limited number of existing warrant holders, (ii) each offer was made through direct communication with the offerees by the Company, (iii) the sophistication of the offerees and financial ability to bear risks (iv) the extensive disclosure provided by the Company to the offerees, and (v) no general solicitation and no commission or remuneration was paid for solicitation.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 describing the extensions of maturity dates of convertible notes held by subscribing note holders are incorporated herein by this reference.
In consideration for the 2 year extension of the maturity date of the convertible notes due in March 2020, the debentures were amended to adjust the interest rate to 15.0% during the extended term. In addition, the conversion price for the conversion of the principal and the exercise price of the warrant issued in connection with the debenture was set to $0.50 per share, subject to similar adjustments provided in the offering. In addition, the Company shall issue to the holders a warrant to purchase 50% of the shares issuable upon on conversion of the principal under the debenture. The warrants are exercisable for a term of three years at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share, subject to adjustments. In lieu of the foregone value based on the calculation for interest payable for the past two years, the Company will provide holder converting all of the principal a 20% bonus interest payment.
In consideration for the 1 year extension of the maturity date of the convertible notes due in November 2020, the Company issued those noteholders 56,000 share of common stock.

Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: BRFH), a manufacturer of frozen, ready-to-blend beverages, today announced that it has entered into binding definitive agreements for approximately $5.87 million financing. The components of the financing consist of an aggregate sale of approximately $5.87 million of common stock at $0.50 per share with 50% warrant coverage with an exercise of $0.60 per share, of which $3.825 million will be for growth capital and approximately $2 million came from the conversion of existing debt into the current offering.

Concurrent with the Company’s current offering, the Company also reduced its overall debt by approximately $2 million through holders converting their existing debt into the Company’s current offering of its common stock and warrants. In addition, the Company and its debt holders extended the maturity date of approximately $1.1 million of those certain convertible notes issued in March 2018 to March 2022, and extended the maturity date of approximately $0.2 million of those certain convertible notes issued in November 2018 to November 2021.
