Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 5, 2010, Marani Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) received a $100,000 one year loan (the “Loan”) from an institutional investor. The Loan is evidenced by a convertible note, which is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.04 per share for 180 days and thereafter at the lesser of (i) $0.04 per share or (ii) 75% of the overage of the three lowest closing bid prices the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the conversion date. In connection with the Loan, the Company also issued 4,500,000 shares of common stock to the institutional investor.
The Company also entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the same institutional investor, which established an equity line, pursuant to which the Company, in its discretion, may sell up to $7,500,000 worth of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms and provisions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the institutional investor to register the common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company is obligated to file the registration statement for such shares within 60 days from February 5, 2010.
In connection with these transactions, the Company issued to the institutional investor a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase 8,500,000 shares of the common stock, each having an exercise price of $0.04 per share.
