Subject to legal, tax and accounting structuring to be determined in good faith and in the respective parties mutual best interests, Seller will contribute and/or sell certain real estate assets listed on Exhibit B, or the outstanding equity of special purpose vehicles that own the assets (collectively, the “Assets”), to GTII or a wholly owned seasoned subsidiary of GTII. The Transaction will result in a reverse merger and a change of control of GTII. The name and ticker symbol of GTII may be changed at the election of Seller upon the signing of the Definitive Agreements and the closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction, to a name and symbol to-be-determined by Seller. Post Transaction GTII, following the Closing, is referred to herein as the “Pro Forma Company”. At the election of Seller, as of or following the Closing, the Pro Forma Company intends to remain incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.

 

NEW CLASSES OF GTII PREFERRED STOCK, REAUTHORIZATION OF SHARES:

 

Within ten (10) business days of execution of this Letter of Intent, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, GTII shall create and designate two (2) new classes of Preferred Stock:

 

(1) Series B: GTII shall authorize the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock consisting of One Thousand (1,000) shares, without par value, to be designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”). GTII may not issue more than or increase the authorized shares of Series B beyond 1,000 shares. Each share of Series B shall be convertible by its holder into a specific number of GTII Common Stock shares (“New GTII Common”) equal to a market value of $270,000 calculated under the VWAP formula as more fully described herein. The Series B will automatically convert into New GTII Common of the Pro Forma Company upon the anticipated reverse split of GTII Common Stock (“Stock Split”), as more fully described herein, being declared effective by FINRA (“Effective Date”). In the event of any unforeseen instance whereby the Stock Split does not occur the parties may determine another conversion trigger consistent with the terms of this binding Letter of Intent. The Series B and the New GTII Common into which it is converted shall have full voting rights.

 

(2) Series C: GTII shall authorize the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock consisting of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred (12,500) shares, without par value, to be designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”). GTII may not issue more than or increase the number of authorized shares of Series C beyond 12,500 shares. Each share of Series C shall be convertible by its holder into a specific number of New GTII Common equal to a market value of $1,000 calculated under the VWAP formula as more fully described herein. The Series C is convertible into New GTII Common of the Pro Forma Company at the election of any holder after issuance up to an outside date of six (6) months after the Closing of the Transaction after which it automatically will convert into New GTII Common. The Series C shall not have any voting rights, but the GTII New Common into which it is converted shall have voting rights.

Prior to Closing GTII shall amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized stock to a number of shares sufficient to pay the Consideration of the Transaction contemplated herein.

 

CONSIDERATION AND PRO FORMA:

 

Sellers Equity:

 

The Seller’s Assets are described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made part of this Letter of Intent, or will be identified in writing for inclusion in the Assets prior to the Closing of the Transaction. The Assets being contributed to GTII have or will have at the Closing of the Transaction an aggregate residual value of approximately $450 million. As consideration for the Assets, GTII shall issue to Seller or its designees One Billion Eight Hundred Million (1,800,000,000) shares of GTII pre Stock Split pre Closing Common Stock (“Seller GTII Common Stock”). In addition to the Seller GTII Common Stock, Seller shall receive all of the Series B stock. The aggregate Transaction is valued at approximately $465 million based on the equity value of the Assets (the “FC Asset Value”) and Seller will, at Closing, assign approximately $65 million of debt encumbering the Assets to the Pro Forma Company (see Exhibit B for corresponding estimated values related to those Assets that are identified for the Transaction to date). Seller shall reserve the right to add or subtract particular Assets to be contributed to GTII prior to the execution of the Definitive Agreements, and the FC Asset Value, the resulting equity and the percentage splits will be adjusted accordingly based on the recognized equity value of the final contributed Assets. As a result, Seller will receive a number of shares of GTII Common stock and Series B shares convertible into new GTII Common Stock equal to the FC Asset Value which should be approximately 91% of the post-Closing issued and outstanding GTII Common Stock (“Pro Forma GTII Common Stock”) on a fully-diluted basis, with the number of shares of Seller’s Series B conversions being calculated and derived from a price equal to the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the GTII Common Stock (as per Bloomberg) (the “VWAP Price”) for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date of the conversion (“Seller’s Equity”).

 

The Pro Forma GTII Common Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, non-assessable, and free from all liens, taxes and charges. The Pro Forma Company shall have a sufficient number of authorized shares both pre and post Stock Split reserved to fulfill the issuances contemplated by the Transaction. The Pro Forma GTII Common Stock issued to Seller shall be issued with its transferability subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and subject to customary restrictions. The Pro Forma Company may elect to register all or some of the Pro Forma GTII Common Stock or Series B or Series C Stock and the new GTII Common Stock into which they are convertible (i.e., registered with the SEC on Form S-4, and/or registered with the SEC on Form S-3), and/or enable their re-sale as Rule 144 SEC eligible shares through a public resale of restricted or control securities so as to facilitate the distribution of such equity to Seller and Seller affiliates. Pro Forma Company shall grant to GTII and any of its shareholders or designees piggyback registration rights on a pro rata basis with Seller shareholders.

 

GTII Shareholders and Affiliates Equity:

 

At the Closing Date of the Transaction, as more fully described herein, GTII will have issued up to a maximum of 350,000,000 pre-split Common Stock, to affiliates, advisors, shareholders, officers, board members, consultants and other designees at its sole discretion. In addition, GTII shall issue, at the Closing, all of the Series C to affiliates, vendors, debt holders, advisors, consultants, service providers and other designees convertible into new GTII Common Stock of the Pro Forma Company. The aggregate GTII Equity (“GTII Equity”) shall be comprised of all pre-Closing outstanding and issued GTII Common Stock, excluding only Seller GTII Common Stock, and all Series C. Any issued Series C and GTII Common Stock shall be restricted under Rule 144 subject to registration more fully described herein.

 

3
 

 

As a result of the issuance of the Seller Equity, at Closing, the aggregate of the GTII Equity and prior issuance of GTII Common Stock shall equal in the aggregate to 9% of the Pro Forma GTII Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, with the number of shares of GTII’s Series C conversions being calculated and derived from the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the GTII Common Stock (as per Bloomberg) (the “VWAP Price”) for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of the conversion. The resulting equity value to be retained as the GTII Equity at Closing, would approximate $47.5 million of the Pro Forma Company.

 

For the sake of clarity, fully diluted shares shall include, if any, earn-in shares, escrowed shares, warrants, options, restricted stock units, equity-linked and/or convertible securities in connection with the Transaction.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, any transfer, assignment, sale to conveyance of the GTII Assets shall not relieve, limit, excuse, waive, release and/or terminate the obligations of GTII under this Letter of Intent and the Definitive Agreement(s).

 

GTII PRE-MERGER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:

 

GTII Assets:

 

On or before the Closing Date, GTII, including its subsidiaries, shall convey and transfer all of its assets (“GTII Assets”) to a designee of its sole choosing. The GTII Assets shall include but not be limited to cash and securities, intellectual property, contracts, accounts receivable, claims, trademarks, domain names, goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets including all those disclosed in GTII’s consolidated financial statements. GTII Assets shall expressly exclude GTII’s name and symbol. GTII’s recipient of the GTII Assets shall indemnify and hold harmless the Pro Forma Company from and against any liabilities connected with the GTII Assets.

 

GTII Liabilities:

 

As of the date of this Letter of Intent first above written, GTII will have approximately $5.5 million of debt and miscellaneous liabilities (“GTII Debt”). A non-affiliate (“Agent”) of GTII shall be retained and capitalized with Series C to resolve, settle and pay the GTII Debt. The Agent shall endeavor to resolve all of the GTII Debt by the Closing Date or by another outside date mutually agreed to by the parties (“Outside Debt Date”). In the event that the Agent is unable to fully resolve the GTII Debt and obtain releases by the Outside Debt Date, and the Pro Forma Company assumes any remaining GTII Debt, GTII or its Agent shall return a number of Series C shares to the Pro Forma Company treasury equal to the value of any remaining and unresolved GTII Debt.

 

STOCK SPLIT AND UPLISTING:

 

The parties hereto intend to reverse split the Pro Forma Company’s issued and outstanding (and possibly authorized, in its discretion) common stock. As soon as appropriate following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 30 days after the Closing Date, the Pro Forma Company shall file a corporate action with FINRA to change its name, trading symbol and reverse split its common stock. The ratio of the stock split shall be determined by the parties with the goal of achieving an approximate post-split market share price of $10 per share.

 

4
 

 

As soon as appropriate after the Closing Date but in no event later than 30 days after the Closing Date, the Pro Forma Company shall apply to be up listed on the NYSE Exchange, NYSE American Exchange, the NASDAQ Capital Market, or the OTCQB Market.

 

CLOSING DATE:

 

The parties shall endeavor to draft the Definitive Agreements and complete due diligence in an expeditious fashion. The Closing Date will be on a day mutually determined by the parties in which all of the requirements necessary for this Transaction have been completed and the parties sign the Definitive Agreements (“Closing Date”). In no event, however, shall the Closing Date be later than May 15, 2019 unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties, or in order to complete necessary compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

 

TERMINATION PROVISIONS AND BREAK-UP FEE:

 

This Letter of Intent is intended to legally bind the parties. It may, however, be terminated by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party, if the parties mutually agree to terminate, if either party becomes aware that the other party has materially breached any representations or covenants in this Agreement, or is unwilling or unable to provide or fulfill any of the conditions to Closing, more fully described herein (“Termination for Cause”). However, if any party terminates this Letter of Intent in bad faith, other than as “Termination for Cause” the terminating party shall be subject to the obligation to pay a $2,000,000 break-up fee (“Breakup Fee”) to the non-terminating party unless the terminating party rescinds such termination within 5 business days following written demand therefore by the non-terminating party or within 5 business days following the effective date for the notice of termination. Either party may pay the Breakup Fee through the issuance of its common or preferred stock with an equivalent market value.

 

EXCLUSIVITY:

 

GTII and the Seller agree that during the period beginning on the date of mutual execution of this Letter of Intent until the later of April 30, 2019 or the Closing Date (with such date being subject to a mutually agreed upon execution timetable for the Definitive Agreements (the “Exclusivity Period”), GTII and Seller and/or their affiliates or representatives will not, directly or indirectly, solicit from any third party any offers competitive with this Letter of Intent. GTII may, prior to the Closing, issue shares of its Common Stock for any valid purpose or consideration, so long as GTII and the Pro Forma Company retain sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock to pay the Seller Equity calculated as of the Closing. GTII will immediately notify Seller and Seller will immediately notify GTII if either receive any solicitation or offers competitive with this agreement. As of the date of mutual execution of this Letter of Intent and during the Exclusivity Period, GTII and Seller will suspend any currently existing discussion with all parties other than each other regarding the Transaction.

 

During the Exclusivity Period, the parties shall use their good faith efforts to finalize and execute the Definitive Agreements, prior to May 15, 2019, and undertake all related activities geared towards the Closing of the Transaction.
