Convertible Notes Offering
On May 7, 2021 (“Effective Date”), Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a convertible note purchase agreement (“Agreement”) with five (5) accredited investors, including two (2) members of the Board of Directors of the Company that participated on the same terms as other accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company received $575,000 in proceeds and issued unsecured convertible promissory notes (each a “Convertible Note” and collectively, the “Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000, of which, Dr. Garnick and Ms. Felcyn, members of the Board of the Directors, invested $100,000 and $25,000, respectively. The Convertible Notes were issued as part of a convertible note offering authorized by the Company’s board of directors (the “Convertible Notes Offering”) for raising up to $5 million from the issuance of Convertible Notes through July 31, 2021. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes for general corporate purposes.
The Convertible Notes have no stated maturity date; bear interest at a simple rate equal to eight percent (8.0%) per annum until converted; and automatically convert into the same equity securities issued for cash in the Qualified Financing, or at the option of the Investors, into the same equity securities issued for cash in a Smaller Financing (each as described below). Interest on the Convertible Notes will be accreted and added to the unpaid principal balance prior to conversion.
The Convertible Notes will convert into the same equity securities offered in the Qualified Financing or Smaller Financing (“Conversion Shares”), as described below, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the product equal to 80% times the lowest per unit purchase price of the equity securities issued for cash in the Qualified Financing or Smaller Financing (representing a 20% discount), or (ii) $2.377, representing $21 million divided by the number of fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding, including common stock reversed for issuance under the Company’s Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock and the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan as of the Effective Date (“Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price may be reduced or increased proportionately as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar transactions. Upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes in connection with a Qualified Financing or a Smaller Financing, as applicable, the Convertible Notes shall convert immediately prior to the closing thereof, such that the investors paying cash in such Qualified Financing or Smaller Financing, as applicable, are not diluted by the conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Pursuant to the Agreement, a “Qualified Financing” represents a single transaction or series or transactions whereby the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5 million from the sale of equity securities following the Effective Date (excluding proceeds from the issuance of any future Convertible Notes). A “Smaller Financing” represents any sale of equity securities whereby the aggregate gross proceeds are less than $5 million (excluding proceeds from the issuance of any future Convertible Notes).
In addition, in the event of a corporate transaction covering the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or change in ownership of at least 50% in voting securities of the Company, the holder of the Convertible Note may elect that either: (a) the Company pay the holder of such Convertible Note an amount equal to the sum of (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due on such Convertible Note and (ii) one and one-half (1.5) times the outstanding principal balance of such Convertible Note; or (b) such Convertible Note will convert into that number of conversion shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of such Convertible Note on the date of conversion by (ii) $2.377, representing $21 million divided by the number of fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding, including common stock reversed for issuance under the Company’s Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock and the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan as of the Effective Date.
The issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes and Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) has not been, and will not upon issuance be, registered under the Securities Act, and the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under or exemption from the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Securities were issued and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, based on the following facts: each of the Investors has represented that it is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act, that it is acquiring the Securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws and that it has sufficient investment experience to evaluate the risks of the investment; the Company used no advertising or general solicitation in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Investors; the Securities will be issued as restricted securities.

The Company did not engage any underwriter or placement agent in connection with the Convertible Notes Offering.

6.10 Tax Returns. The Company has timely prepared and filed (or timely filed for an extension for) all tax returns required to have been filed by the Company with all appropriate Governmental Authorities and timely paid all taxes shown thereon or otherwise owed by it, other than taxes being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been made on the Company’s financial statements included in the SEC Reports.

The Company is not disqualified from relying on Rule 506 for any of the reasons stated in Rule 506(d) in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. The Company has exercised reasonable care, including without limitation, conducting a factual inquiry that is appropriate in light of the circumstances, into whether any such disqualification under Rule 506(d) exists. The Company has furnished to the Purchaser, a reasonable time prior to the date hereof, a description in writing of any matters relating to the Company and the Insiders that would have triggered disqualification under Rule 506(d) but which occurred before September 23, 2013, in each case, in compliance with the disclosure requirements of Rule 506(e).
7. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
7.1 Authorization. Each Purchaser has full power and authority (and, if such Purchaser is an individual, the capacity) to enter into this Agreement and to perform all obligations required to be performed by it hereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by each Purchaser, will constitute such Purchaser’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
| 8 |
7.2
Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Each Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement is made with such Purchaser in reliance
upon such Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which such Purchaser confirms by executing this Agreement, that the Notes,
and the Conversion Stock (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for such
Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent (unless otherwise specified on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto),
and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser
does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person
or to any third person, with respect to the Securities. If other than an individual, each Purchaser also represents it has not been organized
solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
7.3 Disclosure of Information; Non-Reliance. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to enable it to make an informed decision concerning an investment in the Securities. Each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Each Purchaser confirms that the Company has not given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Securities. In deciding to purchase the Securities, each Purchaser is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and such Purchaser has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for such Purchaser. Each Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Securities or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.

7.5 Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities.
7.6 Restricted Securities. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and registered or qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale and further acknowledges that, if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of such Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.
7.7 No Public Market. Each Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Note and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Notes.
7.8 No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, equityholders or partners have not either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder solicited offers for or offered or sold the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

7.10 Foreign Investors. If a Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, conversion, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities.

This Agreement, the Notes and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

8.12 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s firm commitment underwritten public offering under the Securities Act pursuant to which the Common Stock will be listed on a national securities exchange (such offering, the “IPO”), and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter(s) (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions): (A) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock (whether such units or any such securities are then owned by the Purchaser or are thereafter acquired); or (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities; whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.12(a) will: (x) apply only to the IPO and will not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement; (y) not apply to the transfer of any units to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Purchaser or the immediate family of the Purchaser, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer will not involve a disposition for value; and (z) be applicable to the Purchasers only if all officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all members individually owning more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section), the underwriters in connection with the IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.12(a) and will have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Purchaser further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with the IPO that are not inconsistent with this Section 8.12(a) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
| 11 |
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to each Purchaser’s registrable securities of the Company (and the Company securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Each Purchaser agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows will be placed on all certificates representing all of such Purchaser’s registrable securities of the Company (and the Company securities of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 8.12(a)):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE COMPANY’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SECURITIES.
(b) Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to make the representations and warranties set out in Section 6 and the undertaking set out in Section 8.12(a) of this Agreement and:
(i) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition, and such disposition is made in connection with such registration statement; or
(ii) such Purchaser has (A) notified the Company of the proposed disposition; (B) furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition; and (C) if requested by the Company, furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act.
Each Purchaser agrees that it will not make any disposition of any of the Securities to the Company’s competitors, as determined in good faith by the Company.
(c) Legends. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Securities may bear the following legend:
THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR UPON RECEIPT BY THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.
8.13 Exculpation among Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, corporation or equityholder, other than the Company and its officers and directors in their capacities as such, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser agrees that no other Purchaser, nor the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, equityholders or employees of any other Purchaser, will be liable for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or not taken by any of them in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities.
8.14 Acknowledgment. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that each Purchaser will be entitled to the benefit of all adjustments in the number or amount of securities of the Company as a result of any splits, recapitalizations, combinations or other similar transactions affecting the Company’s securities underlying the Conversion Stock that occur prior to the conversion of the Notes.
| 12 |
8.15 Further Assurances. From time to time, each of the parties agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and to provide such additional information as may reasonably be required to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Notes and any agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith.
8.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
8.17 Company Non-Waivers. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Company, does not waive presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or enforcement of the Notes.
