EXHIBIT 10.2
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of June 17, 2016, by and between IDdriven, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), R & T Sports Marketing, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Buyer”), Arend D. Verweij (“Pledgor”) and Legal & Compliance, LLC, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”).
WHEREAS:
A. The Company and the Buyer are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Rule 506(b) promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1933 Act;
B. The Company desires to issue and sell to the Buyer, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a 10% Secured Promissory Note of the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100,000.00 (the “Note”);
C. In connection with the purchase of the Note and as additional consideration for the Note, the Company is issuing to the Buyer up to 400,000 shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock”), which calculation of shares is based on the product of the principal amount of the Note of $100,000 divided by the $0.25 trading price of the Common Stock on the OTCMarkets at the close of trading on June 15, 2016. However, if the buyer funds less than $100,000 pursuant to the Note then, in such case, the amount of Common Stock issuable to the Buyer shall be reduced proportionately. For example, if the Buyer funds $50,000 pursuant to the Note, then the Company shall issue to the Buyer 200,000 shares of Common Stock;
D. Furthermore, the Note is secured by the pledge of up to 17,910,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Pledged Shares”) held, or controlled, by its CEO, Arend Dirk Verweij (“Pledgor”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Stock Pledge Agreement between Mr. Verweij, Holder and Escrow Agent of even date herewith, a copy of which is attached to the Note (the “Pledge Agreement”). However, if the Buyer funds less than $100,000 pursuant to the Note then, in such case, the Pledged Shares shall be reduced proportionately. For example, if the Buyer funds $50,000 pursuant to the Note, then the Pledged Shares shall be 8,995,000 shares of Common Stock; and
E. The Buyer wishes to purchase, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, the Note and the Common Stock.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the agreements and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Buyers hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Note and Common Stock; Escrow Agent
a. Purchase of Note and Common Stock. On the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall issue and sell to the Buyer and the Buyer agrees to purchase the Note and the Common Stock from the Company for up to $100,000, with the specific amount to be determined at the time of Closing (the “Purchase Price”).
