Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.
On January 11, 2018, Global Equity International, Inc. (“Company”) entered into a Funding Agreement with Xantis S.A. a company incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg that is the legally appointed fund management company of Xantis Private Equity (“Lender”), a sub-fund of Xantis Investments Securitisation Fund (“Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender, through its management company, agreed to loan the Company a minimum of £2,000,000 (approximately US$2.7 million). The loan will be funded in one or more tranches commencing within the month of January 2018. The proceeds of each tranche of funding shall be utilized for reduction of indebtedness, inorganic growth via acquisitions of various advisory firms with funds under management and general working capital purposes.
Each tranche of the loan will be evidenced by a Convertible Note, bearing interest at 6% per annum. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually. The first semi-annual interest payment shall be made in cash or, at the option of the Lender, in shares of our Common Stock at the conversion price indicated in the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes will mature on the 366thday following issuance (“Maturity Date”). The principal and any accrued, but unpaid, interest outstanding on the Maturity Date shall be mandatorily converted into shares of our Common Stock.
The conversion price under the Convertible Notes shall be equal to the greater of US$0.02 or the average closing price of Borrower’s Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the prior 60 trading days (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits and similar events). A “trading day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the stock exchange on which the Borrower’s Common Stock is traded or quoted.
Subsequently, on January 12, 2018, Xantis Private Equity, through its appointed Trustees, confirmed that, today, they will initiate a £300,000 (approximately US$400,000) wire transfer to the Company.

The Lender, William Marshal Plc. agreed to loan the Company up to £2,000,000 (approximately US$2.7 million). The previous, November 20, 2017, agreement stated a minimum of £2,000,000.
The loan will be funded in one or more tranches at the lenders discretion. The proceeds of each tranche of funding shall be utilized for reduction of indebtedness, inorganic growth via acquisitions of various advisory firms with funds under management and general working capital purposes.
Each tranche of the loan will be evidenced by a Convertible Note, bearing interest at 6% per annum. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually.
