Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Effective December 26, 2023, AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Medical Marijuana, Inc (“MJNA”), currently an affiliate of the Company and one of its largest shareholders, for the purchase of up to $750,000 face value in convertible notes. Also, effective December 26, 2023, MJNA purchased its first convertible note, face value of $100,000, under the terms of the Agreement (the "Initial Note").
Under the terms of the Agreement, until June 26, 2025, MJNA has the option, but not the obligation, to purchase up to $750,000 in convertible notes to be issued by the Company, which includes the Initial Note for $100,000. The notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum, which is payable annually beginning on December 26, 2024, and each year thereafter until maturity on December 26, 2033. Any notes acquired by MJNA pursuant to the Agreement (including the Initial Note) are convertible at any time prior to the maturity date, at the sole option of MJNA, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.01 or 70% of the average of the two lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock in the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MJNA, shall not be permitted to convert any note, or portion thereof, if such conversion would result in beneficial ownership of the Company by MJNA and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the date of conversion.
The Company sold the securities referenced in this Item 1.01 in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
