Otherwise, the CDs mature on the second anniversary of issuance. A Liquidity Event means a transaction such as a public offering by the Company with minimum gross proceeds of $20,000,000 or a merger or similar transaction with a concurrent financing with minimum gross proceeds of $20,000,000 in each case that results in the Company’s LLC Units or the securities of the resulting issuer being listed on a recognized stock exchange. A Liquidity Event also includes transactions such as the sale of the Company’s assets or a tender offer whereby the holders of the LLC Units receive case or publicly listed securities on a recognized securities exchange. The CDs conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) is the lesser of (i) the price that is a 25% discount of the Liquidity Event price or (ii) the price determined based on a pre-money enterprise value of $65,000,000 based on the fully-diluted in-the-money membership units of the Company measured immediately prior to the time of the Liquidity Event (which has an indicative price of $1.48). The CDs bear interest of 8% which is payable semi -annually and matures two years from issuance. Any accrued but unpaid interest is to be paid in cash. The LLC Warrants have an exercise price to acquire each LLC unit that is 35% greater than the CD conversion price. The LLC Warrants will be exercisable commencing on the date of a Liquidity Event and through the subsequent 24 months subject to customary anti-dilution and change of control provisions.

Additionally, as part of the fees paid to the broker for the financing, broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”) were issued which consisted of an LLC Unit and an LLC Warrant (collectively, “Broker Unit”). The number of Broker Warrants issued is equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of CDs with an exercise price equal to the Conversion Price. If a Liquidity Event does not occur 12 months after the issuance, 10% additional CD Units or Blocker Units, as applicable, are issued to original investor for no additional consideration (the “Additional Securities”).
