1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 22, 2019 (the “Effective
Date”), RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) and EMA Financial, LLC (the “Lender”) entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) by which the Lender provided a sum of $58,250 (the “Consideration”)
to the Company, in return for a convertible note (the “Note”) with a face amount of $60,000, a common stock purchase
warrant (the “Warrant”) for 175,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”),
10,000 shares (the “Commitment Shares”) of Common Stock as a commitment fee, and the Confession of Judgment
(as defined below), among other agreements and obligations. The net proceeds of the Consideration, which were received by the
Company on October 28, 2019 and which will be used for general corporate purposes, equal $54,500 after payment of $2,750 in Lender’s
legal fees and the withholding by Lender of $1,000 in diligence fees. Under the terms of the SPA and the Note, the Lender paid
the Consideration, less fees as noted above, at closing.
The Note obligates the Company to pay by July
22, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) a principal amount of $60,000 together with interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum,
which principal exceeds the Consideration by the amount of an original issue discount of $1,750. Any amount of principal
or interest that is not paid by the Maturity Date would bear interest at the rate of 24% from the Maturity Date to the
date such amount is paid. The Lender may extend the Maturity Date to up to one year following the date of the original Maturity
Date upon giving written notice to the Company.
The
Lender has the right, in its discretion, at any time, to convert any outstanding and unpaid amount of the Note into shares of
Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, provided that such conversion would not result in the Lender beneficially
owning more than 4.99% of Common Stock. Subject to certain limitations and adjustments as described in the Note and unless an
Event of Default has occurred, the Lender may convert at a per share conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the lowest closing
price during the preceding twenty Trading Day (as defined in the Note) period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior
to the Issue Date of the Note, or (ii) 60% of the lowest traded price (with respect to a trade of at least 100 shares of
Common Stock) for Common Stock on the Principal Market during the twenty consecutive Trading Days on which at least 100 shares
of Common Stock were traded including and immediately preceding the date of such conversion. Upon such conversion, all rights
with respect to the portion of the Note being so converted terminate, except for the right to receive Common Stock or other securities,
cash or other assets as provided in the Note due upon such conversion.
The
Company may prepay the outstanding principal amount under the Note during the initial 60 calendar day period after the Effective
Date, by making a payment to the Lender of an amount in cash equal to 115% multiplied by the outstanding principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, any default interest on those amounts and any other amounts due under the SPA, subject to the Company
providing prior written notice to the Lender. The Company may prepay the outstanding principal amount under the Note during the
period from the 61st through the 120th calendar day following the Effective Date, by making a payment to the Lender of an amount
in cash equal to 125% multiplied by the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, any default interest on
those amounts and any other amounts due under the SPA, subject to the Company providing prior written notice to the Lender. The
Company may prepay the outstanding principal amount under the Note during the period from the 121st through the 180th calendar
day following the Effective Date, by making a payment to the Lender of an amount in cash equal to 130% multiplied by the outstanding
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, any default interest on those amounts and any other amounts due under the
SPA, subject to the Company providing prior written notice to the Lender. The Company may not prepay any amount outstanding under
the Note after the 180th calendar day following the Effective Date.
The
SPA includes: (1) a prohibition on the Company incurring liability for borrowed money outside the ordinary course of business;
(2) right of first refusal in favor of Lender with respect to any further offerings by the Company of its securities; (3) an automatic
adjustment to the terms of the SPA and related documents to the terms of a future financing if those terms are more beneficial
to an investor than the terms of the SPA and related documents are to the Lender; (4) a right of the Lender to compel redemption
upon certain conditions; (5) a right of the Lender to purchase a subsequent note up to the amount of and with substantially
the same terms as the Note and the SPA; and (6) certain registration rights. In addition, the Note prohibits the Company
from selling, leasing, or otherwise disposing of a significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business.
The
Warrant is a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 175,000 shares of Common Stock, for value received in connection with the
issuance of the Note, from the date of issuance of the Warrant until the five-year anniversary thereof, at an exercise price of
$0.50 (subject to adjustment as provided therein) per share of Common Stock.
Additionally,
the Company provided a confession of judgment (the “Confession of Judgment”) in favor of the Lender for the amount
of the Note plus fees and costs, to be filed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA and the Note.
The
Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are offered and sold to the Lender in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws, which include Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act.
Pursuant to these exemptions, the Lender represented to the Company under the SPA, among other representations, that it was an
“accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act.
