The Company is conducting a private placement (the “Offering”) of a minimum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Minimum Offering”) and a maximum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Maximum Offering”) of the Company’s securities consisting of (i) shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Shares”), and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Warrants”), at a purchase price of $2.50 per Share (the “Purchase Price”). Each Warrant shall be exercisable at any time on or after the date of issuance for a period of three (3) years at an exercise price per share equal to $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the agreement evidencing the Warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the Warrant shall be equal to 20% of the number of Shares issued to the Subscriber under this Agreement. The shares of common stock underlying the Warrants may hereinafter be referred to as the “Warrant Shares”, and, together with the Shares, the “Securities”.

3. THE SUBSCRIBER’s Representations, Warranties AND cOVENANTS

 

The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, as follows:

 

(a) The Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber.

 

(b) The Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the Offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

(i) The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.

 

(ii) The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws.

 

(iii) The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

(iv) The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.

 

(v) The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. The Subscriber has not authorized any person or entity to act as its Purchaser Representative (as that term is defined in Regulation D of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act) in connection with the Offering.

 

(vi) The Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.

 

-2-

 

 

(c) The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.

 

(d) The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment.

 

(e) The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Subscriber also understands that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities on behalf of the Subscriber or to assist the Subscriber in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(f) No oral or written representations or warranties have been made, or information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries in connection with the Offering, other than any representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for the Securities, the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.

 

(g) The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

(h) The Subscriber understands and agrees that the certificates for the Securities shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such Securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

(i) Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved the Securities or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering. There is no government or other insurance covering any of the Securities.

 

(j) The Subscriber and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber and its Advisors, if any.

 

-3-

 

 

(k) The Subscriber is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of, the Offering through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or electronic mail over the Internet, in connection with the Offering and is not subscribing for Securities and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Subscriber was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally.

 

(l) The Subscriber has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(m) The Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections furnished by the Company to the Subscriber were prepared by the management of the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management and should not be relied upon.

 

(n) (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Subscriber or Plan fiduciary (i) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (ii) is independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (iii) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (iv) in making such decision, the Subscriber or Plan fiduciary has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

(o) This Agreement is not enforceable by the Subscriber unless it has been accepted by the Company, and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription for any reason.

 

(p) The Subscriber will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, affiliates and shareholders, and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) (a “Loss”) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Subscriber contained herein or in any document furnished by the Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein or therein; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price tendered hereunder.

 

(q) The Subscriber is, and on each date on which the Subscriber continues to own restricted securities from the Offering will be, an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. In general, an “Accredited Investor” is deemed to be an institution with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the value of their primary residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse.

 

(s) The Subscriber acknowledges receipt and careful review of all documents furnished in connection with this transaction by the Company (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) and has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which the Subscriber has requested or desires to know; and the Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and any additional information which the Subscriber has requested.

 

-4-

 

 

(t) The Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber is a Registered Representative of a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) member firm, the Subscriber must give such firm the notice required by the FINRA’s Conduct Rules, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.

 

(u) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that neither the Company nor any persons associated with the Company who may provide assistance or advice in connection with the Offering (other than the placement agent, if one is engaged by the Company) are or are expected to be members or associated persons of members of the FINRA or registered broker-dealers under any federal or state securities laws. This Offering is made directly by the Company.

 

(v) The Subscriber understands that, pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Company may pay one or more placement agents a commission of up to ten (10%) percent in connection with the Offering. The Subscriber further understands that, pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Company must receive subscriptions for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (subject to reduction as set forth in the introductory paragraph hereto) in order to close on the sale of any Securities and that persons affiliated with the Company, its consultants, advisors, or placement agents may subscribe for Common Stock, in which case the Company may accept subscriptions from such affiliated parties in order to reach the Minimum Offering; and that, accordingly, no investor should conclude that achieving the Minimum Offering is the result of any independent assessment of the merits or advantages of the Offering or the Company made by Subscribers in the Minimum Offering.

 

(w) The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly set forth in the Offering Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company and, in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that contained in the Offering Documents and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.

 

(x) All information provided by the Subscriber in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto is true and accurate in all respects, and the Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will be relying on such information to its possible detriment in deciding whether the Company can sell these securities to the Subscriber without giving rise to the loss of the exemption from registration under applicable securities laws.

 

4. The Company’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

The Company hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Subscriber, as follows:

 

(a) The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

(b) Capitalization and Additional Issuances. The authorized and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 4(b). Except as set forth on Schedule 4(b), there are no options, warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities, rights, understandings or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or giving any right to subscribe for any shares of capital stock or other equity interest of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(e) Neither the execution and delivery nor the performance of this Agreement by the Company will conflict with the Company’s organizational materials, as amended to date, or result in a breach of any terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material contract, agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.

 

-5-

 

 

(g) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Securities and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Subscriber is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by the Subscriber or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to the Subscriber’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Subscriber that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

 

(h) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders, from and against any and all Loss arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or in any document furnished by the Company to the Subscriber in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Company to the Subscriber in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Company’s liability shall not exceed the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price tendered hereunder.

 

(i) The Company undertakes to obtain public listing through a reverse merger no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Closing Date (the “Listing Period”). In the event a reverse merger is not feasible then the Company undertakes to obtain public listing through the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the Listing Period.

 

In the event that the Company fails to obtain such public listing within the time period set forth herein, then each Subscriber shall be entitled to receive, for every thirty (30) day period following the Listing Period, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the purchase price paid by the Subscriber for its Securities, up to a maximum of two percent (2%) (referred to as the “Listing Penalty Amount”). The Listing Penalty Amount shall be paid to each Subscriber in immediately available funds; provided, however, if the Company certifies that it is unable to pay the Listing Penalty Amount in cash because such payment would result in a breach of the terms of a credit facility or other debt instrument to which it is a party, then the Company shall pay such Listing Penalty Amount using as much cash as permitted without breaching any such credit facility or other debt instrument and shall pay the balance of any such Listing Penalty Amount in kind through the issuance of additional Securities.

 

5. PIggy-back registration rights

 

(a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the Company shall notify the Subscriber in writing at least twenty (20) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under Securities Act, in connection with a public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company but excluding any registration statements (i) on Form S-8 (or any successor or substantially similar form), or of any employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or a dividend reinvestment plan, (ii) otherwise relating to any employee, benefit plan or corporate reorganization or other transactions covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the resale of the Securities) and will afford the Subscriber an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of the Securities held by the Subscriber. In the event the Subscriber desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Securities held by the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall within ten (10) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, including the number of such Securities that the Subscriber wishes to include in such registration statement. If the Subscriber decides not to include all of its Securities and in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Subscriber shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to the offering of the securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such proposed public offering or private placement advise the Company that the total amount or kind of securities that the Subscriber, the Company and any other persons intended to be included in such proposed public offering is sufficiently large to adversely affect the success of such proposed public offering or private placement, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the various parties wishing to have shares of the Company’s common stock registered shall be included in the following order:

Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company may withdraw or postpone a registration statement referred to herein at any time before it becomes effective or withdraw, postpone or terminate the offering after it becomes effective without obligation to the Subscriber.

 

(c) In connection with its obligation under this Section 5, the Company will (i) furnish to the Subscriber without charge, at least one copy of any effective registration statement and any post-effective amendments thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Subscriber so requests in writing, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) in the form filed with the SEC; and (ii) deliver to the Subscriber and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the then effective prospectus included in the registration statement, as the same may be amended or supplemented (including such prospectus subject to completion) (the “Prospectus”), and any amendments or supplements thereto as such persons may reasonably request.

 

(d) As a condition to the inclusion of its Securities, the Subscriber shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Subscriber and the distribution proposed by the Subscriber as the Company may request in writing or as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

 

(e) The Subscriber agrees by acquisition of the Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, requires the suspension of the Subscriber’s rights under this Section 5, the Subscriber will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Securities pursuant to the then current Prospectus until the Subscriber is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If so directed by the Company, on the happening of such event, the Subscriber will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Subscriber’s possession, of the Prospectus covering the Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

(f) The Subscriber hereby covenants with the Company (i) not to make any sale of Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and (ii) if such Securities are to be sold by any method or in any transaction other than on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in a combination of such methods, to notify the Company at least 5 business days prior to the date on which the Subscriber first offers to sell any such Securities.

(g) The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Securities sold pursuant to a registration statement described in this Section 5 are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing the Securities is accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (x) the Securities have been sold in accordance with such registration statement and (y) the requirement of delivering a current Prospectus has been satisfied.

 

(h) The Subscriber shall not take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to such registration statement that would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

 

(i) Upon the expiration of the effectiveness of any registration statement described in this Section 5, the Subscriber shall discontinue sales of the Securities pursuant to such registration statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of the Company’s intention to remove from registration the Securities covered by such registration statement that remain unsold, and the Subscriber shall notify the Company of the number of registered Securities that remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

APPENDIX A

 

Risk Factors

 

The risk factors below discussed does not include all the risks that may ultimately affect our Company. Some risks not yet known to us, or currently believed to be immaterial, could ultimately have an impact on our business or financial performance.

 

AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY IS SPECULATIVE IN NATURE, INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD NOT BE MADE BY ANY INVESTOR WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE LOSS OF HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT. EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS AND SPECULATIVE FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING, AS WELL AS OTHERS DESCRIBED ELSEWHERE IN THIS MEMORANDUM, BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENTS.

 

NEITHER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC” OR “COMMISSION”) NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREIN NOR HAS THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURES CONTAINED IN THIS CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM OR THE MERITS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

 

THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE BEING OFFERED IN RELIANCE UPON CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH LAWS. SUCH EXEMPTIONS IMPOSE SUBSTANTIAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER OF SECURITIES SUCH THAT AN INVESTOR HEREIN MAY NOT SUBSEQUENTLY RESELL THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREIN UNLESS THE SECURITIES ARE SUBSEQUENTLY REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

 

Risks Relating to the Company

 

We are an early stage company with limited operating history and have a history of losses.

 

We were formed in 2016 for the purpose of providing technology solutions for clients in the banking & insurance payments, retail, software, digital media & entertainment and e-commerce sectors. We expect that our operating expenses and our net losses will increase dramatically with closing of the acquisition of the target companies.

 

Since ShraedLabs has a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate SharedLabs’ business.

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. As an early stage company, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by developing companies in a competitive environment. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

 

Risks Related to the Acquisitions

 

The Letter of Intent between the Company and Target 1 and the Letter of Intent between the Company and Target 2 may be determined and the acquisitions of the Targets by the Company as contemplated by each Letter of Intent may not occur.

 

-19-

 

 

The Company has entered into two non-binding Letters of Intent (each, an “LOI”). Each LOI contemplates the acquisition of Target 1 and Target 2, whereby the Targets will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company upon consummation of the acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing each of the planned acquisitions contemplated by each LOI, and if at least one of the contemplated acquisitions is not completed by June 30, 2017, the money paid by each Subscriber in this Offering will be returned to such Subscriber upon request to the Company in an amount equaling the Subscriber’s total investment, less any expenses necessary to effectuate the return of investment.

 

Risks Relating to the Securities

 

There is no public market for our securities and an activing trading market may not develop.

 

There is currently no market through which any of our securities may be sold and there can be no assurances that any public market will ever develop or if a market develops it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations. There has not been any established trading market for our Common Stock and there is currently no public market whatsoever for our securities.

 

There will be restrictions on the resale of the Securities.

 

The Securities, following issuance may not be resold unless, at the time of such intended resale, there is a current registration statement covering the resale of the Securities or there exists an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and such Securities have been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws in the state of residence of the seller or in the state where sales are being effected.

 

We have never paid dividends on our securities.

 

We have never paid dividends on our securities and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further our business strategy.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

The offering price for the Securities and other terms has been determined by the Company

 

The price at which the Securities are being offered and the other terms of the Offering have been determined by us. There is no relationship between the offering price and our assets, book value, net worth, or any other economic or recognized criteria of value. Rather, the price of the Securities was based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure.

 

An investment in the Securities is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

 

An investment in the Securities is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

 

The Company has broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities, assuming the sale of the Maximum Amount, will be $5.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to facilitate the purchase of the Targets, which may include the funding of required due diligence (audit and legal, for example), and to provide working capital for the operations of each of the Targets which may include expenses and fees related to the acquisition and integration of the Company and the Targets, as well as post-close operating expenses of the Targets once acquired. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing each of the planned acquisitions pursuant to each LOI.

 

-20-

 

 

Following closing on the Minimum Offering, the securities will be offered by us on a “best efforts” basis and we may not raise the Maximum Offering Amount.

 

We are offering the Securities on a “best efforts” basis. In a “best efforts” offering such as the one described in this Memorandum, there is no assurance that we will sell the Maximum Offering Amount. Accordingly, we may close upon amounts less than the Maximum Offering Amount (but not less than the Minimum Offering Amount), which may not provide us with sufficient funds to fully implement our business plan.

 

Investor funds will not accrue interest while in escrow prior to the closing of the Offering.

 

All funds delivered in connection with subscriptions for Securities will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account until the closing of the Offering, if any. If we fail to sell and receive payments sufficient for the Minimum Offering Amount during the Offering Period, investor subscriptions will be returned without interest or deduction. Investors in the Securities offered hereby will not have the use of escrowed funds or receive interest on such funds pending the completion of the Offering.

 

There are significant restrictions on the transferability of securities comprising the Securities.

 

The offer and sale of the Securities is being made without registration under state and federal securities laws in reliance upon the “private offering” exemption of Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act as well as available exemptions under applicable state securities laws. The securities will be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and cannot be resold or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or are transferred in a transaction exempt from such registration. Consequently, each investor’s ability to control the timing of the liquidation of his or her investment in the Company may be restricted. Investors should be prepared to hold the securities comprising the Securities for an indefinite period of time.

 

The Securities are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

 

The Offering described in this Subscription Agreement is being made in reliance upon the so-called “private placement” exemption from registration with the SEC provided by Section 4(a)(2), Regulation D of the Securities Act and the exemptions from registration provided by the Blue Sky laws of states in which the Securities are offered. However, reliance upon these exemptions is highly technical and should not be viewed as a guarantee that such exemptions are indeed available. If for any reason the private placement exemption is not available for the Offering, and no other exemption from registration is found to be available, and the Offering is not registered pursuant to applicable federal or state authorities, the sale of the Securities would be deemed to have been made in violation of the applicable laws, thus requiring registration of the Securities. As a remedy for such a violation, each investor would have the right to rescind its purchase and to have its full investment returned. If an investor requests return of its investment, it is possible that funds would not be available to the Company. Any refunds made would reduce funds available to the Company for its operations.

 

You should consult your own tax and legal advisors concerning income tax risks.

 

We urge each prospective subscriber to consult with its own representatives, including its own tax and legal advisors, with respect to the federal (as well as state and local) income tax consequences of this investment before purchasing any securities. Prospective subscribers should not construe the information set forth in this Subscription Agreement as providing any tax advice and this Subscription Agreement is not intended to be a complete or definitive summary of the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities. Prospective subscribers are advised to consult with their own tax counsel concerning the tax aspects of the purchase of Securities.

 

There are no independent experts representing investors.

 

Counsel, accountants and other experts who are available to the Company regarding the structure and terms of the Offering, did not and do not represent the investors. The Company urges each prospective investor to consult its own legal, tax and financial advisers regarding the desirability of purchasing the Securities and the suitability of an investment in the Company.
