OTHER EVENTS. On September 30, 1997, SmartServ Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), consummated the sale of $4,000,000 of Prepaid Common Stock Purchase Warrants of the Company ("WARRANTS") in a private placement (the "PRIVATE PLACEMENT") exempted from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Warrants will be exercisable for shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"). Warrants may be exercised at any time after the earlier of the date on which a registration statement has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or 90 days after their date of issuance. One-third of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be locked up for 60, 90 and 120 days, respectively, following the effectiveness of the registration statement. The initial exercise price of the Warrants will be 70% of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market for the five trading days ending on the day prior to the date of exercise. The exercise price percentage shall be reduced by an additional 1% on the 60th day following the date of original issue of the Warrants and by an additional 1% for each 60 day period thereafter that the Warrants remain unexercised. In no event will the exercise price exceed $1.40. The Warrants expire three years from their date of issuance. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 20 days from the date hereof and to effect appropriate qualifications in the states in which the Common Stock may be issued in order to comply with applicable laws in connection with the exercise of such Warrants. In the event that a registration statement has not become effective within 90 days after the final closing date of the Offering, the Company will pay each holder of Warrants an amount in cash equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription price therefor for the first month thereafter and 2% of such price for each subsequent month thereafter. The Company will also pay such penalties to each investor based on the number of unexercised Warrants held by such investor in the event that the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement with the SEC at any time while the Warrants remain exercisable. Concurrently with the consummation of the above transaction, the Company issued warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock to The Zanett Securities Corporation ("ZANETT") in connection with the Private Placement. In addition, pursuant to a Consulting Agreement entered into by the Company and Bruno Guazzoni, the Company issued to Mr. Guazzoni warrants to purchase 3,555,555 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Guazzoni may be deemed to be an affiliate of Zanett Lombardier, Ltd., an investor in the Private Placement. The warrants issued to Zanett and Mr. Guazzoni are exercisable at $1.125 per share for five years. -2- The Company also entered into an agreement with Zanett Capital, Inc. ("ZCI") which provides that at the request of ZCI the Company will appoint such number of designees of ZCI to its Board of Directors that the designees of ZCI will constitute a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company. This agreement will expire in five years. -3- ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS. (b) Pro forma balance sheet at August 31, 1997.
