Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
$250,000 Unsecured Note Financing
On November 21, 2023, Aclarion, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors for an unsecured non-convertible note financing. The Company has received $250,000 of gross proceeds in connection with the closing of this financing.
The securities purchase agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements and obligations of the parties.
In connection with this note financing, the Company will also issue to the investors (as more fully described below) certain (i) common stock warrants and (ii) certain shares of common stock as a commitment fee.
The proceeds of this note financing will be used for general corporate purposes.
Terms of the Notes
The notes will have a 15% original issue discount. The aggregate principal amount of the notes is $294,117.65. The notes have an 8% interest rate and will mature April 19, 2024. The notes are unsecured. The notes are not convertible.
The notes may be prepaid by the Company at any time without penalty. If the Company completes one or more qualified offerings of securities, then the notes become redeemable at the option of the investor.
After an event of default, the interest rate on the notes increases to 15%, and the notes become redeemable (at the option of the investor) at a redemption premium of 25%.
Terms of the Warrants
In connection with the closing, the Company issued to the investors 744,890 common stock warrants with a five-year term and an initial exercise price of $0.2865 per share.
The per share exercise price of the warrants is subject to a “full ratchet” adjustment of the warrant exercise price if the Company issues securities while the notes are outstanding at an effective per share price lower than the warrant exercise price then in effect.
Investor Commitment Shares
In connection with the closing, the Company will issue to the investors 148,978 shares of common stock as a commitment fee.
Placement Agent Pre-Funded Fee Warrants
In connection with the closing, the Company will issue to its placement agent pre-funded warrants for 25,210 shares of common stock as a placement agent fee.
These pre-funded warrants will not be exercisable for six months after the date of issue.
Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company has agreed to file, not later than the 30th day following the closing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the resale by the investors of (i) all of the commitment shares, and (ii) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective thereafter.
