Re: Letter of Intent for Orbital Tracking Corp. Proposed Public Offering

 

Dear Board of Directors,

 

The undersigned, ViewTrade Securities Inc. (“ViewTrade”), has recently discussed with you a proposal pursuant to which Orbital Tracking Corp., (the “Company”), wishes to effectuate a public offering of its securities.

 

In the course of such discussions, the Company has either submitted to us or will submit to ViewTrade, among other things, recent audited and unaudited financial statements which the Company represents as fairly reflecting the financial condition of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods mentioned therein, and you have given us information and projections relating to the capabilities of the Company.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and the representations which you and the Company have made to us with regard to the present and proposed business activities of the Company, as well as the Company’s operations and financial condition, and our appraisal of the general conditions of the securities markets, this Letter of Intent is written to you to express the interest of the undersigned, either acting as Underwriter or as the representative of several underwriters (“Representative”), to underwrite an offering of the Company’s securities in accordance with the basic terms and conditions hereinafter set forth below. The Representative’s obligation to underwrite such an offering is subject to: (i) satisfactory completion of our due diligence examination of the Company; (ii) execution of a definitive underwriting agreement; (iii) mutual agreement on the valuation and pricing of the securities to be offered; (iv) market conditions on the effective date of the offering and (v) approval of all matters relating to the offering by our counsel.

 

The following terms, as used in this Letter of Intent, shall have the meanings set forth below:

 

“Commission” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

“Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

“Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

 

“Effective Date” shall mean the initial date of effectiveness of the Company’s Registration Statement for the public offering of securities contemplated hereby.

 

“Public Offering Price” shall mean the price that when paid by an investor shall entitle such investor to receive a Share of Common Stock. It is anticipated that the Offering contemplated herein will result in gross proceeds of approximately five million dollars ($5,000,000) to seven million dollars ($7,000,000) and that the Per Share Public Offering Price will be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and the Representative.

 

“Registration Statement” shall mean the registration statement relating to the public offering of the Company’s securities which are the subject of this Letter of Intent.

 

“Representative Warrants” shall mean those warrants to be sold by the Company to the Representative and/or persons related to the Representative for nominal consideration of $.0001, each such warrant evidencing the right to purchase one share of the Securities Being Offered at an exercise price equal to 110% of the Public Offering Price and which shall be exercisable for a period of five years. The number of Representative Warrants shall be equal to 8% of the total number of Securities sold in the offering.

 

The “Securities Being Offered” shall be mutually agreed upon prior to filing the Registration Statement and shall be exclusive of the Representative’s over-allotment, equal to 15% of the Securities Being Offered.

 

1) The Company shall be a duly organized corporation under the laws of the state of Nevada and is authorized to issue 750,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share and approximately 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

On the Effective Date, there will be no other authorized, issued and/or outstanding securities of the Company, and there will be no commitments by the Company to issue any additional securities of the Company, except (i) such number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Employee Stock Options shall be customary in the industry and approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee; and (ii) such securities as required to effectuate the proposed public offering. No holders of any of the securities of the Company shall have any preemptive rights of any nature.

 

   

 

 

2) The Company will take all necessary and required corporate action to authorize the issuance and sale of the Securities Being Offered.
   
3) The Company will promptly take all steps necessary to prepare and file the Registration Statement with respect to the Securities Being Offered and any other securities of the Company to be registered as set forth herein (the “Offering”).

The Representative shall receive a gross discount equal to eight percent (8%) of the Public Offering Price on each Securities Being Offered sold in the Offering, with the exception of Securities Being Offered sold in the Offering, which are purchased by current shareholders of the Company, in which case the Representative shall receive a discount equal to three percent (3%) of the Public Offering Price.

The non-accountable expense allowance will be paid upon the consummation of this offering.

  (a) During such time as the Representative’s Warrants are outstanding, the Company will agree not to merge, reorganize, or take any action which would terminate the Representative’s Warrants without first making adequate provisions for the Representative’s Warrants. Other terms regarding the rights of the holders of the Representative’s Warrants will be included in an agreement to be entered into by the Company and the Representative which will be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
