Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As previously disclosed, on March 21, 2018, PeerStream, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a technology services agreement with ProximaX Limited (“ProximaX”) whereby the Company agreed to provide certain development and related services to ProximaX to facilitate the implementation of the Company’s PeerStream Protocol into ProximaX’s proprietary blockchain protocol that is currently under development (the “ProximaX Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the ProximaX Agreement, ProximaX agreed to pay the Company, among other things, up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of cash or certain highly liquid cryptocurrencies in exchange for the Company’s services, $5.0 million of which was paid in May 2018, $2.5 million of which was due upon completion the second development milestone set forth in the ProximaX Agreement and $2.5 million of which was due upon completion of the third development milestone set forth in the ProximaX Agreement.
In the second quarter of 2019, the Company completed, and ProximaX accepted delivery of, the work constituting the second development milestone under the ProximaX Agreement. During the final stages delivery of the second milestone, ProximaX informed the Company that capital constraints made it unable to pay the Company the $2.5 million as stipulated under the ProximaX Agreement. Accordingly, following negotiations between the parties, on June 29, 2019, the Company and ProximaX entered into an agreement, effective June 24, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), to terminate the ProximaX Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) and provide for payment terms for the $2.5 million due under the ProximaX Agreement.
Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company and ProximaX agreed, among other things, that (i) the Company has no further obligation to provide any deliverables or services under the ProximaX Agreement, including any services related to the completion of the third development milestone, (ii) all services performed by the Company under the ProximaX Agreement are accepted by ProximaX and (iii) all payments previously made by ProximaX to the Company prior to the Termination Date are final and non-refundable.
Under the Termination Agreement, ProximaX also acknowledged and agreed to pay the Company the $2.5 million owed for the completion of the second development milestone as follows:
· | $2.5 million will be paid in eight monthly cash installments of $7,500 each, on the first day of each month, to be paid beginning May 1, 2019 through December 1, 2019 (with any amounts due prior to the Termination Date being paid in arrears together with the first payment due after the Termination Date); and |
· | the remaining balance of $2.44 million (the “Remaining Balance”) will be paid on December 31, 2019 in either cash or security tokens issued by ProximaX. |
If ProximaX raises capital prior to December 31, 2019, ProximaX is required to apply a percentage of the net cash proceeds from such capital raise towards the Remaining Balance as follows: 5% of the net cash proceeds from the first $5.0 million of capital raised; 10% of the net cash proceeds from the next $2.5 million of capital raised; and 15% of the net cash proceeds from any additional capital raised. Any amount of the Remaining Balance outstanding as of December 31, 2019 after the application of the net cash proceeds from a capital raise, if any, will be paid in security tokens issued by ProximaX.
The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Termination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
