Exhibit 10.2

AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of August 4, 2017, by and between One Horizon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with an office at 34 South Molton Street, London W1K 5RG, UK (the “Company”), and Mark White (“White”).

R E C I T A L S:

White is the record and beneficial owner of one hundred seventy thousand, nine hundred forty (170,940) shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) of the Company.

The Company desires to acquire the Preferred Shares, and in furtherance thereof, has offered to issue to White 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Shares”) and a promissory note of the Company in the initial principal amount of $500,000 (the “Company Note”) bearing interest at the rate of 7% per annum and payable in full on August 31, 2019, in exchange for the Preferred Shares, and White is willing to exchange the Preferred Shares for the Common Shares and the Company Note on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Exchange”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and White hereby agree as follows:

1.           Exchange; Closing. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement:

1.1         White agrees to assign, transfer and deliver the Preferred Shares to the Company, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, restrictions or known claims of any kind, nature, or description, and the Company hereby agrees to issue to White the Common Shares, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, restrictions or known claims of any kind, nature, or description, and the Company Note in the form agreed upon.

1.2         The closing of the exchange contemplated hereby shall take place at the offices of counsel to the Company no later than five (5) days after the receipt of such approval from the shareholders of the Company, if any is required by the rules of NASDAQ, or within five (5) days of a determination by the Company that such approval is not required or at such other place and time mutually agreed to by White and the Company (the “Closing Date” or “Closing”), but in no event later than December 30, 2017 (the “Final Date”).

1.3         The issuance of the Common Shares is subject to the Rules and Regulations of the NASDQ OMX Market which limit the number of shares the Company may issue to no more than an aggregate of 19.99% of the number of shares outstanding on the Closing Date (the “Exchange Cap”) unless the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders or otherwise determines that such approval is not required. Promptly after the date hereof the Company shall take such actions as are available to it to cause the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to the terms hereof to be exempt from or otherwise not subject to the Exchange Cap, including, without limitation, (i) calling a meeting of its stockholders at which they consider a proposal to approve the issuance provided for herein and in anticipation of which the Company solicits proxies to enable it to vote in favor of such issuance on behalf of its stockholders; (ii) if the same can be accomplished without violation of the applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ OMX Market, arranging for the execution of written consents by the holders of a sufficient number of its outstanding shares of Common Stock to permit the issuance of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap upon exercise of the rights granted herein and (iii) file a proxy statement or information statement, as appropriate, with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and use all reasonable efforts to have such proxy statement or information statement cleared by the SEC. Prior to a determination by the Company that the Exchange Cap is not applicable or receipt of the consent of the Company’s shareholders, at the request of White, the Company will issue to White (i) such number of Common Shares up to 19.5% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding against delivery of the number of Preferred Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying 170,940 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares to be issued to White and the denominator of which is 4,000,000 and (ii) such principal amount of the Company Note as is obtained by multiplying $500,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares to be issued to White and the denominator of which is 4,000,000. The balance of the exchange shall take place no later than five (5) days after receipt of shareholder approval or a determination that such approval is not necessary.

1.4         At the Closing, and as a condition thereto, White will deliver a certificate for the Preferred Shares together with a stock power duly executed for transfer to the Company and the Company shall deliver to White a certificate representing the Common Shares and the Company Note in the name of White or such other name as he shall direct.

2.           White’s Representations and Warranties. White represents and warrants that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(b)       He is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D;

(d)       He has the legal capacity to enter into and perform his obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of White enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.
