[3] | On November 17, 2021, the Company entered into two unsecured promissory notes, one with Kurt A Johnson, Jr, for $34,256,000 and the second for $51,384,000 with Tidal Power Group LLC. These promissory notes bear an interest rate of 6% per annum and as modified, $20 million is due on May 6, 2022, $15 million is due on December 31, 2022, and $52 million is due on May 31, 2023. On December 10, 2021, Kurt A Johnson Jr. received an additional unsecured promissory note in the principal sum of $1,090,000 also with a 6% per annum interest rate in exchange for a reduction of shares issued to Mr. Johnson of 400,000. Additionally in a Q1 2022 amendment to the note, the Company also agreed to reduce the restriction period under the Tidal Lockup letter from two years to one year and to the extent that if the value of the shares previously issued to Tidal Power were less than $4.00 per share upon expiration of the restriction period, the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration to Tidal Power so that the value of Tidal Power's shares are equal to no less than $28,852,844. For the Johnson lockup letter, the Company agreed to pay additional consideration to Mr. Johnson upon expiration of the restriction period so that the value of his stock consideration is no less than $17,635,228, which is equal to $4.00 per common share. Any shortfall would be made up by issuing Mr. Johnson additional common shares. See Subsequent Event footnote 20 for more information on amendments to these Promissory notes. See Debt modification subheading below for more information on the debt modification of the unsecured promissory notes. | |
