NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible notes payable – long term

On May 14, 2019 (the “Issue Date”), the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) by and among the Company and the lenders set forth on the lender schedule to the NPA (the “Lenders”), as amended by that certain Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment,” and, together with the NPA, the “Agreement”) by and among the Company and the Lenders. In total, pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $805,000 of its convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”).

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, simple interest, and mature on the third anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”), to the extent that the Notes and the principal amounts and any interest accrued thereunder (the “Indebtedness”) have not been converted into shares of common stock of the Company. Interest on the Notes will accrue on a simple interest, non-compounded basis and will be added to the principal amounts on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as may be due upon an Event of Default (as defined below), at which time all Indebtedness will be due and payable, unless earlier converted into Conversion Shares (as defined below). In the event that any amount due under the Notes is not paid as and when due, such amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year, simple interest, non-compounding, until paid. The Company may not pre-pay or redeem the Notes other than as required by the Agreement. The Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company. The proceeds of the Notes will be used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness of the Company and for general corporate purposes. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded simple interest expense of $11,191 and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded simple interest expense of $34,452 and $87,779, respectively.

The holders of the Notes (the “Holders”) have an optional right of conversion. A Holder may elect to convert its Note, and all of the Indebtedness outstanding as of such time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) as determined by dividing the Indebtedness by $0.10, subject to certain adjustments, but excluding adjustment for a reserve stock split of no more than 1:20 contemplated by the Company at the Issue Date. The optional right of conversion is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. These covenants include, among other things, certain limitations on the ability of the Company to: (i) pay dividends on its capital stock; (ii) make distributions in respect of its capital stock; (iii) acquire shares of capital stock; and, (iv) sell, lease or dispose of assets. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Holders are granted demand registration rights and pre-emptive rights as set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others: (i) non-payment of amounts due thereunder, (ii) non-compliance with covenants thereunder, (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency (each, an “Event of Default”). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, a majority of the Holders may accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness.

On June 15, 2020, Orbsat Corp (the “Company”) and the holders of the majority convertible promissory notes sold by the Company in the May 2019 private offering agreed to amend certain terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 13, 2019 (the “NPA”) and related convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) consistent with the terms of such instruments as follows:

In comparison to the fair market value of the common stock on May 14, 2019, and the fixed effective conversion rate of $0.10 per common share, the lesser amount of the conversion feature or debt was $805,000 and presented a beneficial conversion feature. Thus, the Company recorded a discount on the debt of $805,000 with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we amortized the discount on the debt, to interest expense of $169,668, resulting in a balance of unamortized discount notes payable of $635,333.

On June 15, 2020, the change in conversion price from $0.10 to $0.20, resulted in a difference in the carrying value of the balance of the note payable. Under ASC 470-50-40-13, if it is determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the new debt instrument shall be initially recorded at fair value, and that amount shall be used to determine the debt extinguishment gain or loss to be recognized and the effective rate of the new instrument. The original debt had a carrying value of $269,262 as of June 15, 2020, the fair value of the amended debt was $0 ($792,932 principle netted with the $792,392 note payable discount), which resulted a gain from the extinguishment of debt $269,262. Further, as of June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of the amended note of $17,041, resulting in a balance of unamortized discount notes payable of $775,892 as of June 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company amortized the discount on the debt, to interest expense of $348,563, resulting in a balance of unamortized discount notes payable of $427,329.

On August 21, 2020, Orbsat Corp (the “Company”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA2”) by and among the Company and certain lenders set forth on the lender schedule to the NPA2 (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the terms of the NPA2, the Company sold an aggregate principal amount of $933,000 of its convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). The Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company and bear simple interest at a rate of 6% per annum, and mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”), to the extent that the Notes and the principal amounts and any interest accrued thereunder have not been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. In the event that any amount due under the Notes is not paid as and when due, such amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year, simple interest, non-compounding, until paid. The Company may not pre-pay or redeem the Notes other than as required by the Agreement. The Note holders have an optional right of conversion such that a Noteholder may elect to convert his Note, in whole or in part, outstanding as of such time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock as determined by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $0.20, subject to certain adjustments. This optional right of conversion is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the share issuance upon conversion. The holders of the Notes are granted demand registration rights and pre-emptive rights. In addition, the NPA2 includes customary events of default, including, among others: (i) non-payment of amounts due thereunder, (ii) non-compliance with covenants thereunder, (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, a majority of the Holders may accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness. The closing of this offering took place on August 21, 2020.

In comparison to the fair market value of the common stock on August 21, 2020, and the fixed effective conversion rate of $0.20 per common share, the lesser amount of the conversion feature or debt was $898,918 and presented a beneficial conversion feature. Thus, the Company recorded a discount on the debt of $898,918 with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. For the three months ended, the Company amortized the discount on the debt, to interest expense of $274,865, resulting in a balance of unamortized discount notes payable of $624,053.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Holders converted a total of $585,589 of the convertible debt to common stock into 2,988,283 common shares, 120,676 at the conversion rate of $0.10 per share and 2,867,607 common shares at the conversion rate of $0.20 per share.

On January 14, 2019, under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $65,000 (the “Note”) to Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”). The Note bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per year and is due one (1) year from the date of issue. Beginning 180 days from the issue date, the Note is convertible into our common stock at a price equal to 61% of the Market Price, which is defined as the lowest trading price for our common stock during the 15 trading days prior to the conversion notice. Conversions under the Note are limited such that the holder may not convert the Note to the extent that the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In the event of any default, the Note will bear interest at a rate of 22% per year. The Note may be pre-paid at a premium for the first 150 days after issue, with the pre-payment amount ranging from 115% of the balance to 140% of the balance. After 150 days from issue, pre-payment of the Note is not allowed.
