Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

 

annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding three fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than three years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),
semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and
current reports for certain material events.

 

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.

 

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we: 

 

will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and
will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

SUMMARY

 

Our Company

 

Crush Capital is a financial technology and entertainment business that operates at the nexus of technology, entertainment and capital markets. Our mission is to combine a subscription platform for issuers, accessed through our website goingpublic.com, with the excitement of a full production streaming video series, Going Public. The show will follow the stories of entrepreneurs as they take their companies on a capital raising journey. Our website will give retail investors access through third-party broker-dealers to Regulation A offerings by issuers. These offerings may have secondary market liquidity if subsequently listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). We envision hosting offerings on our website by broker-dealers acting in either “firm commitment” or “best efforts” capacities. To date, most Regulation A securities offerings have been offered on a best efforts basis, meaning that the issuer will have a maximum offering amount and generally will sell securities over time in multiple closings. They may not sell the entire maximum amount of the offering. In addition, most best efforts offerings will not have their securities listed on a stock exchange or quotation system and the securities will remain illiquid, until such time as they are listed or quoted. Traditional IPOs are typically conducted on a “firm commitment” basis, meaning all of the securities being offering are sold to the underwriters at a single closing date, and then immediately, the underwriting syndicate and selling groups resell the securities to investors. These underwriters and selling brokers have broad discretion in allocating IPO securities to their favored clients, often those that generate higher revenue for their firm. Traditional IPOs also typically provide for the securities being listed on a stock exchange or quotation systems upon consummation of the offering. In contrast to traditional IPOs, firm commitment offerings hosted by broker-dealers through our website, will enable retail investors to request to subscribe through a broker-dealer for the securities of the issuers featured on Going Public and be included in the underwriter’s allocation directly, potentially with secondary market liquidity through a listing on NASDAQ.

 

For issuers selected for our show, we will offer:

 

  a subscription technology platform, consisting of a suite of services provided by third parties, including third-party broker-dealers, through which retail investors can subscribe to the offering,

  the ability to showcase their company, their products and services and their management team throughout a season of Going Public,

  an introduction to an investment bank that will consider whether to offer a firm commitment underwriting and offer access to its institutional investor base, in addition to the retail investors who subscribe to the offering through a broker-dealer using our website (see Featured Issuers and the Selection Process—Level 3: Investment Bank review” below), and

  introduction to a coordinated team of experienced service providers that will assist with all aspects of filing, qualifying, or registering and administrating, their offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including legal, marketing and promotional services and escrow and transfer agent services.

 

Viewers of the show will have:

 

  the ability to experience management presentations and view issuers’ meetings with investors, thereby providing entertainment and an enhanced educational environment for retail investors,

  the ability to follow the path of featured issuers as they progress through the capital raising process,

  if offered by an investment bank, access to underwritten public offerings of securities historically allocated to institutional and other wealthy investors, and

  access to a subscription platform enabling viewers to invest through third-party broker-dealers in any of the featured companies from their mobile device or computer while they watch Going Public.

 

For sponsors of the show, we will offer:

 

  various brand building opportunities with an engaged viewing audience, and
  product advertising and low cost generation of sales leads.

Selected Risks Associated with Our Business

 

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
We are an early stage company and we have a limited history upon which an evaluation of our performance and future prospects can be made.
  We do not have definitive agreements in place with our service provider partners.

 

 

The ability of retail investors to subscribe for the securities of issuers in a firm commitment offering and be included in the underwriter's allocation may be limited.

  Issuers to be featured on Season 1 of Going Public have not yet been qualified.

  Our financials were prepared on a “going concern” basis.

  We operate in a regulatory environment that is evolving and uncertain.

  To enable us to engage in certain future business activities, we have started the process of applying to become a broker-dealer and, if we are successful in doing so, will operate in a highly regulated industry.

Our business is dependent on the performance of third parties.
We face competition from a number of diverse companies and organizations, many of which have greater financial resources and access to capital than we do.
We may be liable for misstatements made by the issuers we feature on Going Public.

  Our collection of personal data may subject us to increased regulatory risk and increased risk of cyber attacks.

We may not be able to protect all of our intellectual property.
Our revenues and profits are subject to fluctuations.

 

 

2

 

 

  

Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business. 
Our financial performance and operations could be materially impacted if we become subject to the Investment Company Act.
We expect to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt offerings to support our working capital requirements and operating losses.
We are dependent on our information systems which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other events.
Investors will be holders of Non-Voting Common Stock and we have issued Preferred Stock that has preferential rights over shares of Common Stock.
Some of our stockholders will have the right to demand that we register our securities under the Securities Act, which could strain our resources and impair our ability to operate profitably.
There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering and, therefore, any investment made could be the only investment in this offering.
  Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.
This offering involves “rolling closings,” which may mean that earlier investors may not have the benefit of information that later investors have.
This investment is illiquid.

RISK FACTORS

 

The Commission requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, relatively early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.

  

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to produce our show and raise capital from investors for our featured issuers. We could experience a sharp decline in demand for our services. 

 

In March 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19 and a significant portion of the U.S. population became subject to “stay at home” or similar social distancing requirements, which had a significant impact on the film industry. Enhanced health and safety measures are in effect in Los Angeles and may be in effect in other areas where we film the show, which may cause our production costs to be higher than they would have been otherwise. While we have complied, and believe we will continue to be able to comply, with any required health and safety measures during the production of the show, we may experience reluctance on the part of issuers and others to participate in filming and other activities while COVID-19 remains a risk.

 

To date, the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly impacted global markets, U.S. employment numbers, as well as the business prospects of many small businesses (our potential featured issuers). COVID-19 has also caused significant volatility in stock markets, which tends to result in a shift towards “safe” investments, potentially dampening demand for higher risk investments, like our featured issuers. Many potential issuers may also choose to delay capital raising plans in favor of a better pricing environment in the future. Ultimately, we cannot assure you that our business will not be materially adversely impacted by the current pandemic, or any other natural disaster or catastrophic event.

 

We are an early stage company and have not yet generated any profits.

 

We were formed in 2017. Accordingly, we have a limited history upon which an evaluation of our performance and future prospects can be made. Our operations are subject to all the business risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as we react to developments in our market, managing our growth and the entry of competitors into the market. We will only be able to pay dividends on any shares once our directors determine that we are financially able to do so. We have not yet generated any revenues and have incurred only net loss since our inception consisting of expenses to form our company and establish contractual relationships in anticipation of launching our business. There is no assurance that we will be profitable in the future or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of the shares.

We do not have definitive agreements in place with our service provider partners. 

  

We have entered into a referral agreement with Issuance and non-binding letters of intent or memoranda with CrowdCheck Law, Dalmore Group and Roth Capital regarding the services they are willing to provide to our featured issuers. As we have only non-binding letters of intent with Dalmore and, in the case of firm commitment underwriting, Roth Capital regarding their participation in the issuer selection process, we cannot assure you that either will be willing or able to participate in this process in the future. We also cannot assure you that Roth Capital will agree to provide a firm commitment underwriting to any such issuer applying to be on the show and there may not be another broker-dealer who is willing to provide a firm commitment underwriting in the context of an offering under Regulation A, which would result in all of our featured issuers conducting offerings on a “best efforts” basis instead. If this were to occur, our website and subscription platform may not be able to compete with the other online platforms that connect investors, issuers and broker-dealers and our business may not succeed. Furthermore, if Dalmore is unwilling to participate in the selection process, we may not be able to operate our business as currently envisioned or at all.

 

Similarly, we cannot assure you that CrowdCheck or Issuance will enter into definitive agreements with issuers at the time on terms acceptable to the selected issuers. Furthermore, while we have had preliminary discussions with third parties regarding providing transfer agent and escrow agent services to future featured issuers, we do not have any written understanding with any such third parties.

 

If any of our service provider partners are unable or unwilling to contract with one or more of our featured issuers, the issuers would need to engage replacement service providers, which could result in significant delays and may impair our ability to execute on our business plan in a timely manner and, therefore, negatively impact our ability to achieve profitability.

 

The ability of retail investors to subscribe for the securities of issuers in a firm commitment offering and be included in the underwriter's allocation may be limited.

 

One of the significant goals of our business model is, in the case of a firm commitment offering, to provide retail investor viewers of our show with an opportunity to be included in an underwriter’s allocation of the offering. However, because we will need to coordinate the production of our show with the timing of qualification of the issuers featured on the show, it is possible that one or more issuers may have their offering statements qualified in advance of the show’s airing and the underwriter(s) of such offerings may have received sufficient interest to close the offerings and allocate the offering prior to the airing of the show or shortly after the start of airing. Although we intend for the subscription platform to be available to allow underwriters to accept retail subscriptions as soon as an issuer is qualified, if an underwriter determines to close the offering shortly after qualification, there may be little to no time for retail investors to subscribe to such firm commitment offerings. Further, allocation decisions are ultimately made by the underwriter and the issuer, not by us, and an underwriter and issuer may for any reason determine not to allocate shares to retail investors that are viewers of our show. Such events may harm our ability to attract and sustain viewer interest in the show.

 

Issuers to be featured on Season 1 of Going Public have not yet been qualified.

 

If at least three issuers fail to have their offering statements qualified by the SEC, we will have incurred costs to produce a show that will not air, or will require additional production expenses once additional issuers are identified for the show. The resulting delay in launching Season 1 will require us to expend additional costs to support our operations during the delay and our estimated costs of production may increase over that time. Furthermore, the other issuers that were selected may be unwilling to wait to launch their offering on the show and select a differing online platform over ours, requiring us to contract with additional issuers and putting further strain on our resources.

 

Our financials were prepared on a “going concern” basis.

 

Our financial statements were prepared on a “going concern” basis. Certain matters, as described in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, indicate there may be substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to operate successfully is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations and/or to obtain additional capital financing. 

 

Any valuation of the company at this stage is difficult to assess.

 

The valuation for the offering was established by the company based on its internal projections of revenues and cashflow in combination with a review of valuations of small cap publicly-traded companies. Unlike listed companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

We operate in a regulatory environment that is evolving and uncertain.

 

The regulatory framework for online capital formation or crowdfunding is very new and the regulations that govern our operations and those of the broker-dealers that we intend to work with have been in existence for a very few years. Specifically, any investment bank that agrees to provide a firm commitment underwriting will typically combine and allocate securities based on indications of interest from institutional investors following a more traditional roadshow process with indications of interest from retail investor subscriptions submitted through our website. Please see “The Company’s Business – The Pre-Offering and Offering Process” and “– Service Provider Partners.” This approach is novel and as yet untested. We cannot assure you that the timing or process or any offering will be able to be successfully coordinated with the filming and airing of episodes of Going Public, that indications of interest will be successful converted into confirmed orders sufficient for an underwriter to successfully conclude an offering on a firm commitment basis, or that our business model based on this approach will be achievable or sustainable. If this approach proves to be unsuccessful, we may need to change our approach, and may not be successful doing so, or we may not be able to successfully operate our business as planned.

 

Further, there are frequent discussions among legislators and regulators with respect to changing the regulatory environment. New laws and regulations could be adopted in the United States and abroad. Further, existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in ways that would impact our operations, including how we, our featured issuers and broker-dealers interact with investors as well as the issuers and types of securities that these issuers can offer and sell using our website. For instance, we may be required to register as an investment advisor, which could be costly and expose us to additional regulatory obligations and potential liability. In addition, there have been several attempts to modify the current regulatory regime. Some of those suggested reforms could increase our regulatory burden or make it easier for others to compete with us. Any such changes would have a negative impact on our business. 

 

To enable us to engage in certain future business activities, we have started the process of applying to become a broker-dealer and, if we are successful in doing so, will operate in a highly regulated industry.

 

Our initial planned activities involve airing a television show and providing a platform that connects investors to third-party broker-dealers. Although we do not believe we need to be registered as a broker-dealer in order to engage in these initial activities, we plan to expand the scope of our services in the future to have a direct role in providing broker-dealer services to issuers and investors. In order to expand the scope of services in a regulatory compliant manner, we intend to apply to become a broker-dealer, likely through a subsidiary, and have engaged Luxor Financial Group to assist us with these efforts. We cannot assure you that any application by us to register as a broker-dealer will be approved and, if it is not, we may not be able to operate our business as planned, or at all.

 

The application and review process is likely to be time-consuming and costly, and we may incur significantly more costs that we anticipate, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. If we are successful in our application to become a broker-dealer, we would become subject to extensive and stringent regulation and failure to comply with such regulation could have an adverse effect on our business. The regulation of broker-dealers covers all aspects of the broker-dealer business and operations, including, among other things, sales and trading practices and reporting requirements, client onboarding, advertising and marketing, publication or distribution of research, margin lending, uses and safekeeping of clients’ funds and securities, capital adequacy, recordkeeping, reporting, fee arrangements, disclosures to clients, suitability, acting in client’s best interests when making recommendations to retail customers, customer privacy, data protection, information security and cybersecurity, the safeguarding of customer information, the sharing of customer information, best execution of customer orders, public offerings, customer qualifications for margin and options transactions, registration of personnel, business continuity planning, transactions with affiliates, conflicts, and the conduct of directors, officers and employees. Further, the operation of our broker-dealer would expose us to a significant amount of liability. Regulated entities are frequently subject to examination, constraints on their business, and in some cases fines and penalties for potential violations of applicable laws or rules. In addition, some of the restrictions and rules that would be applicable to our broker-dealer subsidiary could adversely affect and limit our planned operations.

 

We are still in the early stages of assessing the impact of this increased regulatory environment, but we expect there to be increased costs, including the need for personnel with specific qualifications and salary expectations in accordance with their experience. None of our officers or directors has yet passed any securities-related examinations or holds any accreditations. We would also be subjected to periodic examinations and could be required to change aspects of our business processes and communications in response to the findings of those examinations. Becoming a broker-dealer would lead to significant increases in our compliance costs as well as increases in our exposure to liabilities, including subjecting us to liability for misstatements made by issuers utilizing our services. In addition, our compensation from issuers would be subject to regulatory review and may result in our being required to change our compensation structure. It is unclear whether we would be able to generate sufficient revenues to offset the additional compliance costs.

 

Once we become or acquire a broker-dealer, we intend to perform some of the functions described herein as being performed by Dalmore with respect to offerings featured in Going Public. We may not be approved to operate as a broker-dealer in the near term or at all. As noted above, we believe our initial business activities should not require that we be registered as a broker-dealer as our activities are limited to providing entertainment and technology, rather than being financial in nature, and all transactions are effected through third-party broker-dealers. However, if we were deemed by a relevant authority to be acting as a broker-dealer without registration, we could be subject to a variety of regulatory penalties and civil liability and may be unable to continue operating. These could include cease and desist orders and fines, and investors may seek to require that we rescind their investments, which could impose material financial liability on us.

 

Our business is dependent on the performance of third parties.

 

The success of Going Public is highly dependent on our ability to coordinate the services of our partners to the issuers we will feature and the performance of these partners in performing those services. If our partners perform poorly, our reputation and financial results could suffer. Our partners, some of whom are subject to extensive regulation, could experience problems in their business operations, adverse regulatory actions or financial problems. Any of these circumstances which are outside of our control may negatively impact our ability to attract issuers to feature on the show and to agree to use our website (which aggregates the services of our third-party partners for issuers’ use) or maintain our relationship with sponsors of the show.

We face competition from a number of diverse companies and organizations, many of which have greater financial resources and access to capital than we do.

 

There are many and diverse types of programming available to the general public, both through traditional television media as well as online content. In order to succeed, we will need to attract a sufficient viewer following of persons who are engaged in following the progress of the issuers that are featured. We believe there are no productions that showcase seasoned or established issuers engaging in financing that are open to accepting investments from viewers. We are only aware of a limited number of competitors that give viewers of a show the opportunity to invest. We will compete with other programming focused on businesses raising capital, such as Shark Tank, Elevator Pitch (hosted by Entrepreneur Media, Inc., our distribution partner), as well as similarly themed programs such as The Profit. We will also compete with numerous crowdfunding and fundraising platforms to attract issuers that will appeal to investors. While these platforms do not currently provide the comprehensive service offering that we, along with our partners, expect to offer, the fees charged by these platforms may be more attractive than ours. Further, many of these platforms have an established investor base, which may be appealing to the issuers we are looking to attract to participate in our program. In addition, competing crowdfunding and fundraising platforms may modify their product offerings to expand their services and present similar issuer-focused productions to compete with us more directly. Many of our competitors, particularly production content providers, are larger companies with significant cash reserves that would allow them to compete aggressively with us. Many of our crowdfunding and fundraising platform competitors have established businesses with greater experience than us in operating in a regulated environment. As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes impacting our industry.

 

We may be liable for misstatements made by the issuers we feature on Going Public.

 

Although currently we are only hosting featured issuers on our website and producing the show, and we have no role in determining the content of the issuers’ statements or disclosures, there is the possibility that, under federal or state securities laws, investors, regulators or other parties may bring actions against us, or we may be held liable, for any untrue statements or omissions of material information made by our issuers. Further, if our business model evolves as anticipated and we are successful in our application to become a registered broker-dealer, we may have “underwriter liability” for untrue statements of material facts or omission of information required to make the statements not misleading by issuers utilizing our services in connection with their offerings. See “The Company’s Business – Regulation.”

 

In either case, there can be no assurance that if we were sued we would prevail. Further, even if we do succeed, lawsuits are time consuming and expensive, and being a party to such actions may cause us reputational harm that would negatively impact our business. Moreover, even if we are not liable or a party to a lawsuit or enforcement action, some of our clients have been and will be subject to such proceedings. Any involvement we may have, including responding to document production requests, may be time-consuming and expensive as well.

 

Our collection of personal data may subject us to increased regulatory risk and increased risk of cyber attacks.

 

As a result of our access to investor data, we will be subject to state laws that regulate data collected over the internet as well as any future regulations regarding data privacy and security and use of personal data. Compliance with data regulations could significantly impact our access to and use of investor data, which could materially and adversely affect our operating costs and our ability to achieve profitability. There has been a significant increase in the number and sophistication of cyber attacks in recent years, including computer viruses, malicious or destructive code, ransomware, social engineering attacks and hacking, among others. Any such attacks directed against us could not only disrupt our operations at the time but may damage our reputation and ability to grow our investor base. If we fail to comply with these regulations, or the personal data we maintain is hacked and misused, we could face significant regulatory, governmental or civil actions, including fines, enforcement actions and litigation, which could have a material impact on our results. The damage to our reputation and brand could materially impair our business.

  

We may not be able to protect all of our intellectual property.

 

Our profitability may depend in part on our ability to effectively protect our proprietary rights, including obtaining trademarks for our brand name and websites, copyrights on our creative product and maintaining the secrecy of our internal workings and preserving our trade secrets, as well as our ability to operate without inadvertently infringing on the proprietary rights of others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain future protections for our intellectual property or defend our current or future trademarks, copyrights or trade secrets. Further, policing and protecting our intellectual property against unauthorized use by third parties is time-consuming and expensive, and certain countries may not even recognize our intellectual property rights. There can also be no assurance that a third party will not assert infringement claims with respect to our products or technologies. Any litigation for both protecting our intellectual property or defending our use of certain technologies could have material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition, regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

 

Our revenues and profits are subject to fluctuations.

 

It is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results, and these could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include adverse changes in: our ability to market the services available through our subscription platform to issuers and investors, number of viewers to our program including investors and the success of our issuers thereby making it easier to market our program to sponsors, potential issuers and investors and potentially expand the scope of our program, general economic conditions, headcount and other operating costs, and general industry and regulatory conditions and requirements. The company’s operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant and could impact our ability to operate our business.

 

We depend on a small management team.

 

Our ability to grow successfully will be particularly dependent upon the efforts, experience, contacts, and skills of our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Darren Marble and Todd Goldberg. The loss of either of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and growth prospects. Such a loss could occur at any time due to death, disability, resignation, or for other reasons.

 

7

 

    

Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business. 

 

We believe that our future success and grow our business will depend in large part on our ability to retain or attract highly qualified management, technical and other personnel. We may not be successful in employing and retaining key personnel or in attracting other highly qualified personnel. If we are unable to retain or attract significant numbers of qualified management and other personnel, we may not be able to grow and expand our business.

 

Our financial performance and operations could be materially impacted if we become subject to the Investment Company Act.

 

Because our featured issuers will issue us restricted equity in their companies as partial payment for our services, our net assets going forward are likely to include a significant amount of securities. We intend to structure and manage these holdings so as not to become subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. Due to the various burdens of compliance with the 1940 Act and the strict operational limitations, our financial performance and ability to operate our business could be materially adversely affected if we become subject to the 1940 Act. We cannot assure you that, under certain conditions, changing circumstances, or changes in the law, the company will not become subject to the 1940 Act or other burdensome regulation.

  

We expect to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt offerings to support our working capital requirements and operating losses.

 

In order to fund future growth and development, the company will likely need to raise additional funds in the future by offering shares of its common or preferred stock and/or other classes of equity or debt that convert into shares of common or preferred stock, any of which offerings would dilute the ownership percentage of investors in this offering. See “Dilution.” Furthermore, if the company raises debt, the holders of the debt would have priority over holders of common and preferred stock and the company may accept terms that restrict its ability to incur more debt. We cannot assure you that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, or that such funds if raised, would be sufficient. The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. If we are not able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our growth plans, which could adversely impact the company, its business, development, financial condition, operating results or prospects.

 

We are dependent on our information systems which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other events.

 

Our operations are highly dependent on our online presence and our subscription platform and the information collected, processed, stored, and handled by these systems and the service providers whose services comprise our platform. We will receive, retain and transmit certain confidential information, including personal financial information of our investors. In addition, we depend in part on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks, principally to process investments. Our information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches, coordinated cyber-attacks, vandalism, catastrophic events and human error. Any significant disruption or cyber-attacks on our information systems, particularly those involving confidential information being accessed, obtained, damaged, or used by unauthorized or improper persons, could harm our reputation and expose us to regulatory or legal actions and impair our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

Investors will be holders of Non-Voting Common Stock and we have issued Preferred Stock that has preferential rights over shares of Common Stock. 

 

The shares of Non-Voting Common Stock are non-voting and voting control is in the hands of our two co-Chief Executive Officers. Therefore, investors in this offering will have a limited ability to influence our policies or any other corporate matter, including the election of directors, changes to our company’s governance documents, approving a stock option plan or expanding the employee option pool, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major action requiring stockholder approval. Furthermore, holders of our Preferred Stock have preferential rights to dividends and amounts distributed in a liquidation. In the event of a liquidation of our company, you will only be paid out if there is any cash remaining after all of the creditors of our company have been paid and after payment to the holders of our Preferred Stock. Holders of Preferred Shares also have certain registration rights that investors in this offering will not have. Existing holders of our Voting Common Stock and our Series A Preferred Stock have additional rights to purchase any shares that are proposed to be sold by the holders of our Voting Common Stock and other major holders our outstanding equity, or to otherwise join in the sale of those shares. Investors in this offering will not have these rights and, therefore, if our Co-Chief Executive Officers, for example, decided to sell their shares to a third party, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock may have the opportunity to either buy those shares or sell their shares on the same terms, effectively benefitting from a sale of control pricing that would not be available to investors in this offering. See “Securities Being Offered” for a discussion of the relative rights of the holders of our capital stock.

 

Some of our stockholders will have the right to demand that we register our securities under the Securities Act, which could strain our resources and impair our ability to operate profitably.

 

As discussed below in “Securities Being Offered–Capital Stock,” we are subject to an Investors’ Rights Agreement and a Series A-1 Registration Rights Agreement that provides certain stockholders the right to demand that we register our securities with the SEC beginning in May 2025. Registration with and reporting to the SEC can be very burdensome, and in the event any demand for registration is made before we are ready to take on that burden, our resources could be significantly strained, which could impair our ability to operate profitably.

 

There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering.

 

Because this is a “best efforts” offering with no minimum, we will have access to any funds tendered. This might mean that any investment made could be the only investment in this offering, leaving the company without adequate capital to pursue its business plan or even to cover the expenses of this offering.

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

 

Investors in this offering have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders.” The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment. 

 

The Commission’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

 

This offering involves “rolling closings,” which may mean that earlier investors may not have the benefit of information that later investors have. We may conduct closings on funds tendered in the offering at any time. At that point, investors whose subscription agreements have been accepted will become our stockholders. We may file supplements to our Offering Circular reflecting material changes and investors whose subscriptions have not yet been accepted will have the benefit of that additional information. These investors may withdraw their subscriptions and get their money back. Investors whose subscriptions have already been accepted, however, will already be our stockholders and will have no such right.

 

This investment is illiquid. There is no currently established market for reselling these securities and no such market is expected to develop. If you decide that you want to resell these securities in the future, you may not be able to find a buyer.

 

The value of your investment may be diluted if the company issues additional optionsThe company has 20 million shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and 10 million shares of Voting Common Stock available for grants under the terms of its 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan and it may in the future increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan. The issuance of option or stock grants under the plan or any other stock based incentive program may dilute the value of your holdings. The company views stock based incentive compensation as an important competitive tool, particularly in attracting both managerial and technological talent.

DILUTION

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.

 

Immediate dilution

 

The following table demonstrates the price that new investors are paying for their shares of Non-Voting Common Stock with the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders. The company was formed as a California limited liability company in June 2017. In November 2019, we amended and restated our operating agreement to create three individual classes of units: class A common units, class B common units, and preferred units; and to effect a 8954:1 forward unit split. In May 2020, we converted from a California limited liability company into to a Delaware corporation, changed our name to Crush Capital Inc. and converted each of our class A units, class B units and preferred units into 5.4658 shares of Voting Common Stock, Non-Voting Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively.

 

The table presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, with all information being adjusted to give effect to both the November 2019 unit split and the May 2020 conversion. The dilution disclosures contained in this section are based upon the instruments issued and outstanding as of June 23, 2021. It does not reflect the potentially dilutive effect of future grants under our 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, under which we have reserved 20,000,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Voting Common Stock.

Future dilution

 

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when the company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another Regulation A round, a venture capital round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

 

If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).

 

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):

 

In June 2021 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million.
In December the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company but her stake is worth $200,000.
In June 2022 the company has run into serious problems and in order to stay afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the “down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company and her stake is worth only $26,660.

 

This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying convertible notes that the company may issue in the future, and the terms of those notes.

 

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

(1) The company and the selling stockholders will each pay their respective commissions related the securities being sold by them and have agreed to apportion the remaining expenses of the offering on the basis of the respective number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be sold by them in this offering. Amounts reflect commissions to be paid by the company and 80% of the other expenses of the offering.  The total amount of such expenses includes the following estimated fees: a fee of $25,000 to be paid to Dalmore, approximately $100,000 paid to Issuance, Inc., accounting and audit fees of $10,000, legal fees of $70,000, Escrow Agent fees of $600,000, Edgar fees of $5,000 and blue sky compliance fees of $12,000.

 

Production. Estimated production costs consist of amounts expected to be paid to INE Entertainment to produce Season 1 of Going Public, a portion of which we have funded with proceeds from our offerings under Regulation D and the remainder of which are fully covered at the 25% level.

 

Promotion and Marketing. Estimated promotion and marketing costs consist of the payment to Entrepreneur Media, Inc. and other related costs, including campaigns to promote Going Public in the following areas: digital marketing, content marketing, email marketing, and paid media marketing.

 

12

 

 

Licensed Technology. We will license technology from several partners for incorporation into our subscription platform. Costs related to licensed technology and services provided by partners include those for: the services provided through the subscription platform and escrow and transfer agent services.  We have entered into an agreement with Issuance to provide a subscription platform for use by our featured issuers that integrates with other key service providers, for a fee of $2.95 per subscription. The additional technology costs at the 50%, 75% and 100% levels represent costs associated with building and/or acquiring some or all necessary core components to ultimately reduce the costs and reliance on third parties.

 

Capital Markets Infrastructure. We intend in the future to design the user interface and engineer the software that powers www.goingpublic.com, to allow retail investors to subscribe to an offering and open a retail brokerage account with third-party broker-dealers. We intend to apply for registration as a broker-dealer, which we anticipate may cost up to $500,000, including initial net capital and legal and compliance fees, a portion of which we have funded with cash on hand. We may also acquire entities such as an escrow service provider, and/or transfer agent. To the extent we do so, we would require appropriate licensing, regulatory approvals and incur compliance costs, which represent increased capital markets infrastructure costs in the future. Operating as a broker-dealer would require not only capital, but also a capital markets infrastructure. The additional capital markets infrastructure costs at the 50%, 75%, and 100% levels represent costs associated with our broker-dealer application and building and/or acquiring some or all necessary core components.

 

Talent. Crush Capital’s vision is to produce and leverage content to build awareness of Going Public in order to attract brand ambassadors in various verticals. The additional talent costs at the 50%, 75%, and 100% levels represent costs associated with contracting with influencers in aligned verticals and engaging a primary host for Going Public.

 

Operations. We plan to invest in our team, including payment of increased compensation for our executive officers commensurate with achievement of various milestones. The following functional areas where we plan to make investments in staffing are: finance, technology, engineering, compliance, security, investment, business development, sales and marketing.

 

The above figures represent only estimated costs. They do not take into account cash payments from our featured issuers or any revenue from potential sponsorship arrangements that may be secured in the future, which may offset these costs. This expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current arrangements and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds from this offering for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of net proceeds from this offering.

 

We reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interests of our company.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Crush Capital is a financial technology and entertainment business that operates at the nexus of technology, entertainment and capital markets. Our mission is to combine a subscription platform for issuers, accessed through our website goingpublic.com, with the excitement of a full production streaming video series, Going Public. The show will follow the stories of entrepreneurs as they take their companies on a capital raising journey. Our website will give retail investors access to Regulation A offerings by issuers through third-party broker-dealers. These offerings may have secondary market liquidity if subsequently listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). We envision hosting offerings on our website by broker-dealers acting in either “firm commitment” or “best efforts” capacities. To date, most Regulation A securities offerings have been offered on a best efforts basis, meaning that the issuer will have a maximum offering amount and generally will sell securities over time in multiple closings. They may not sell the entire maximum amount of the offering. In addition, most best efforts offerings will not have their securities listed on a stock exchange or quotation system and the securities will remain illiquid, until such time as they are listed or quoted. Traditional IPOs are typically conducted on a “firm commitment” basis, meaning all of the securities being offering are sold to the underwriters at a single closing date, and then immediately, the underwriting syndicate and selling groups resell the securities to investors. These underwriters and selling brokers have broad discretion in allocating IPO securities to their favored clients, often those that generate higher revenue for their firm. Traditional IPOs also typically provide for the securities being listed on a stock exchange or quotation systems upon consummation of the offering. In contrast to traditional IPOs, firm commitment offerings hosted by broker-dealers through our website will enable retail investors to request to subscribe through a broker-dealer for the securities of the issuers featured on Going Public and be included in the underwriter’s allocation directly, potentially with secondary market liquidity through a listing on NASDAQ. See “—The Pre-Offering and Offering Process” below.

 

For issuers selected for our show, we will offer:

 

  a subscription technology platform, consisting of a suite of services provided by third parties including third-party broker-dealers, through which retail investors can subscribe to their offering,
  the ability to showcase their company, their products and services and their management team throughout a season of Going Public,
  an introduction to an investment bank that will consider whether to offer a firm commitment underwriting and offer access to its institutional investor base, in addition to the retail investors who subscribe to the offering through a broker-dealer using our website (see Featured Issuers and the Selection Process—Level 3: Investment Bank review” below), and
  introduction to a coordinated team of experienced service providers that will assist with all aspects of filing, qualifying, or registering and administrating, their offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including legal, marketing and promotional services, escrow, and transfer agent services.

 

Viewers of the show will have:

 

  the ability to experience management presentations and view issuers’ meetings with investors, thereby providing entertainment and an enhanced educational environment for retail investors,
  the ability to follow the path of featured issuers as they progress through the capital raising process,
  If offered by an investment bank, access to underwritten public offerings of securities historically allocated to institutional and other wealthy investors, and
  access to subscription platforms enabling viewers to invest through third-party broker-dealers in any of the featured companies from their mobile device or computer while they watch Going Public.

 

14

 

 

For sponsors of the show, we will offer:

 

  various brand building opportunities with an engaged viewing audience, and
  product advertising and low cost generation of sales leads.

 

Featured Issuers and the Selection Process

 

We, together with certain of our partners, conduct casting to find issuers. Issuers apply through our casting site at www.goingpublic.com to be considered by Dalmore for our program. To ensure that potential issuers are suitable for a visual entertainment medium we provide input to Dalmore as to each applicant’s measure against preset parameters that we have established as to entertainment value. These include:

 

Diverse background,
Entertaining on screen,
Retail products that the public can readily understand,
Positive social impact of the issuer / its products or services, and
Reputation / public profile

 

Dalmore then selects issuers based on its internal assessment of the issuer, following its internal procedures. As noted above, we intend to apply to become a broker-dealer through a subsidiary and, if successful, will in the future assume Dalmore’s role in the selection process.

 

For issuers who wish to conduct a “firm commitment” IPO, we expect an investment bank to, in its sole discretion, conduct appropriate due diligence and determine whether or not to engage in a firm commitment underwriting. Based on the expertise of the investment bank, we expect that these selected issuers will meet the requirements to conduct an offering under Regulation A and meet the minimum listing requirements of NASDAQ.

 

We began casting for Season 1 in mid-July of 2020 and have received numerous applications from issuers that have begun the screening process. Ideally, we will look to feature five issuers on Season 1. To the extent that more than five issuers pass the selection process, we may accelerate production for a second season. To date, we have entered into agreements with four companies.

 

Our selection process consists of three levels of review and assessment:

 

  Level 1: Initial review. All prospective issuers are required to apply through our casting site at www.goingpublic.com. Dalmore will review each potential issuer, with our input with respect to present parameters related to entertainment value as discussed above.  If Dalmore accepts the prospective issuer, it will be passed through to level 2.  If we are successful in our application to become a broker-dealer, we will conduct this review ourselves in the future.
  Level 2: INE Entertainment review. INE Entertainment, our anticipated production partner, will evaluate the prospective issuer from a storytelling perspective, based on its founders, their personality and likability, the issuer and founder narrative(s), and perceived entertainment value. If INE approves the prospective issuer and the issuer wishes to pursue a firm commitment IPO, it will proceed to the third level of the selection process.
  Level 3: Investment Bank review. If an investment bank is interested in pursuing a firm commitment underwriting of this issuer’s offering, the investment bank will follow its customary procedures which it utilizes in connection with an engagement to act as an underwriter for a firm commitment securities offering, including due diligence, internal vetting, internal approvals, acceptable compensation terms, and other factors applicable to each potential transaction. In the course of its engagement, if any, we expect that the investment bank will work with the prospective issuer to determine pricing and valuation for the offering by testing the waters and/or marketing the offering to its institutional investors in order to determine the feasibility of a firm commitment underwriting.  There can be no assurance that any investment bank will agree to underwrite any prospective issuer, in which case the issuer may conduct a best efforts offering or may not be included in the show.

Service Provider Partners

 

Our company has identified key service provider partners that we introduce to the issuers that are ultimately selected for the show to provide legal, underwriting, marketing, and other services for their offerings. These service provider partners bring a depth of experience and a coordinated approach to the offering process. While we recommend these service provider partners, with the exception of Dalmore, each issuer may use alternative service provider partners. Crush Capital acts as a liaison between featured issuers and their service providers to facilitate coordination between service providers and issuers to accommodate both the offering process schedule and production timeline. Ultimately, each issuer enters into a direct agreement with each individual service provider.

 

Roth Capital. We have entered into a non-binding memorandum with Roth Capital providing that Roth Capital is willing to act as a firm commitment underwriter for featured issuers on Season 1 of Going Public, subject to its customary procedures which it utilizes in connection with agreeing to act as an underwriter for a securities offering, including, among other things, satisfactory due diligence, internal vetting and internal approvals and acceptable compensation terms. As stated in the memorandum, Roth Capital would apply an institutional pricing mechanism to each Regulation A IPO and undertake reasonable efforts to ensure that each featured IPO issuer meets NASDAQ’s listing requirements. Roth would also allocate, in its sole discretion and in consultation with the relevant issuer, the securities of each featured IPO issuer to both its institutional clients and/or to retail investors who view the series online through Entrepreneur.com and Entrepreneur’s Over-the-Top (“OTT”) platforms. Roth Capital would engage with the issuers directly and the amount of underwriting fees, consisting of cash and warrants, will be determined by the parties. 

 

Dalmore. We have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Dalmore providing that, subject to Dalmore’s customary internal procedures including satisfactory due diligence, internal vetting and internal approvals, acceptable compensation terms, etc., Dalmore is agreeable to acting as broker-dealer of record, including performing the selection of issuers to appear on Season 1 of Going Public and to acting as a provider of operations and compliance services to featured Regulation A issuers. Selected issuers would be required to engage Dalmore until such time as we become registered as a broker-dealer, at which point we will replace Dalmore as broker-dealer of record and perform the services set forth below.

 

Dalmore is a registered broker-dealer providing services in the equity and debt securities market, including offerings conducted pursuant to exemptions from registration under Regulation D and Rules 506(b) and 506(c), Regulation A, Regulation Crowdfunding and others.

 

Dalmore reviews the viability of each issuer that wishes to participate in the show and ultimately provide a decision as to whether to proceed with the issuer, with Dalmore acting as broker-dealer of record. Issuers selected by Dalmore would, subject to Dalmore’s customary internal procedures, enter into a separate agreement with Dalmore based on Dalmore’s standard form of agreement and with compensation and other terms to be negotiated between Dalmore and each such issuer. For each such issuer, Dalmore would:

 

  Review investor information, including “know your customer,” or KYC, data, perform anti-money laundering and other compliance background checks, and provide a recommendation to the issuer whether or not to accept such investor as a subscriber;
  Review each investor’s subscription agreement to confirm such investor’s participation in the offering, and provide a determination to the issuer whether or not to accept the use of the subscription agreement for the investor’s participation;
  Contact and/or notify the issuer, if needed, to gather additional information or clarification on an investor;
  Keep investor details and data confidential and not disclose such information to any third-party except as required by regulators or in connection with its performance under its agreement with the issuer;
  Be responsible for all FINRA filings and updates, to the extent applicable;
  Review each episode of Going Public and other issuer communications for compliance with applicable rules prior to airing and/or streaming to the public; and
  Coordinate with third-party providers such as FundAmerica (Prime Trust) to ensure adequate review of each investor.

 

Neither Dalmore nor Crush Capital will provide any investment advice nor any investment recommendations to any investor.

 

Issuance. We have entered into a referral agreement with Issuance, Inc. (“Issuance”), a company founded and controlled by our Co-founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer Darren Marble, that contemplates Issuance providing marketing services to the five featured issuers we plan on hosting during Season 1 of Going Public prior to and through the duration of the show. Issuance will design the marketing campaign with each respective issuer, including digital marketing, content marketing, email marketing, and paid media marketing. Under this agreement, Issuance has agreed to charge each featured issuer a fee of no more than $100,000 for its services, subject to any changes as may be agreed between Issuance and the featured issuer. Issuance would contract with the issuers directly.

 

Issuance is a consulting firm that helps clients, issuers, through the process of Regulation A securities offerings. It facilitates an issuer’s ability to run a successful capital raising campaign, offering a wide range of strategic marketing and communications services. 

 

16

 

 

CrowdCheck. We have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with CrowdCheck Law LLP under which it has agreed to act as the provider of due diligence, legal and compliance services to featured issuers in Season 1 of Going Public. Season 1 issuers would engage CrowdCheck Law and pay its fees of $100,000 for each Regulation A IPO filing with the SEC, $60,000 for each standard filing under Regulation A with the SEC, and a reduced fee to be determined by CrowdCheck Law in the event the issuer has already filed a Form 1-A with the SEC. CrowdCheck Law will provide comprehensive legal and compliance services to issuers prior to and through the duration of Season 1, including preparing the offering statements to be filed with the SEC and responding to SEC comments, issuing opinions regarding legality of the offering, coordinating with the issuers’ other advisors and advising the issuer on communications with potential investors, including the content of the show.

 

CrowdCheck Law is an affiliate of CrowdCheck, Inc., which provides a wide range of compliance, diligence and filing services to issuers, investors and intermediaries in the online capital formation market. CrowdCheck Law is the market leader in Regulation A offerings, and its team of experienced attorneys combine deep securities knowledge with an understanding of the new online securities marketplace. CrowdCheck Law has issued the legality opinion that appears as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

 

Each issuer will also separately contract with a transfer agent, which may be Computershare given our existing relationship with them, and an escrow agent to manage the funds provided by subscribing investors. The fees for these services would be as agreed between the issuers and these agents.

 

The Pre-Offering and Offering Process

 

Firm Commitment Offerings

 

For those issuers that an investment bank is willing to engage in a firm commitment underwriting process, the investment bank would work with an issuer to plan its Regulation A IPO, and oversee a “Testing the Waters” campaign. If the investment bank is satisfied with the results of its “Testing the Waters” campaign, it and the issuer will agree on a definitive price per security that the issuer would include in its offering circular upon which it requests qualification. Crush Capital will recommend various service providers to that issuer including for legal due diligence and documentation, accounting and auditing, marketing assistance, escrow agent services and transfer agent services. It is contemplated that the investment bank, as firm commitment underwriter, will run a “Testing the Waters” roadshow directed to its institutional client base, which could include some investor meetings in person or virtual, as well as meetings and interactions with an issuer’s service providers, customers and board members. INE Entertainment will film such meetings, with the subjects’ consents, as well as issuer presentations for the show. Production of the series will commence prior to the qualification of an issuer’s offering statement; however, no episodes will be released (aired) until each respective issuer’s offering statement has been qualified by the SEC with a specific price per share.

 

The investment bank, as underwriter for the offering, is expected to provide an allocation to retail investors, which would reduce the allocation otherwise subscribed to by its institutional customers. As to the retail investors, Crush Capital is providing the subscription platform, which a potential investor would access from the website goingpublic.com, that will enable retail investors submit their requests to the investment bank to subscribe to an offering.

 

Each issuer will enter into an underwriting agreement with the investment bank providing for the purchase by the investment bank of the full amount of the offering, both the retail and institutional components. Retail investors would pay the same fixed price set by the investment bank as underwriter as institutional investors pay. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the investment bank would pay the issuer this fixed price less an underwriting discount agreed upon with the investment bank and each issuer.

 

17

 

 

In a traditional registered IPO, the firm commitment underwriter (or syndicate and selected dealers, if any) will soft circle investors, using a red herring, for the purpose of oversubscribing the offering. This is because the underwriter typically wants to know the offering will be fully or at least substantially sold, so that the underwriter will not bear the risk of buying and holding the shares as principal. When the underwriter believes that offering is sufficiently subscribed to, the offering will go effective, a definitive prospectus will be issued, subscriptions will be confirmed and “at pricing” the underwriting agreement will be signed, at which time the shares are acquired by the underwriter (thus firm commitment) and are resold to the confirmed purchasers at the fixed price. The underwriters will typically allocate portions of the offering to retail accounts in order to ensure a bona fide public distribution of the securities in accordance with FINRA rules. Much the same will happen in these Regulation A offerings except that offering would be conducted on the basis of a price fixed prior to qualification, rather than a price range. Retail investors will have an opportunity to review the definitive offering circulars for each issuer appearing on the show (a live hyperlink to each offering circular will appear clearly on each episode and will also be available from the time of qualification on goingpublic.com) and retail investors will be able to formally subscribe through a broker-dealer to an investment in the securities being offered. In addition, aside from customary investor background information, the subscribers will be required to make representations concerning their status as an “accredited investor,” or their otherwise meeting financial requirements for Regulation A offerings. The investment bank would conduct roadshow meetings with institutional investors for the purpose of bookbuilding, i.e. obtaining indications of interest from institutional investors in purchasing the issuer’s securities. The timing of these roadshow meetings will depend on the progress of each issuer, and may be staggered during the season. The company expects that the investment bank would look to fully subscribe or over subscribe each offering at the price set forth in the qualified offering statement based solely on institutional investor interest. Prior to our becoming registered as a broker-dealer, Dalmore Group, a FINRA member firm, in addition to its participation in the selection process, would serve as the accommodating broker-dealer in respect of the retail investors that subscribe through the subscription platform for the offering, providing the services discussed under “—Service Provider Partners” above. The subscriptions from these retail investors will be reviewed by Dalmore and recommended to the issuer by Dalmore. The issuer would pay Dalmore a separate fee for its operations and compliance services in an amount that would be negotiated between Dalmore and each issuer. If we are successful in registering as a broker-dealer, we would assume these roles initially performed by Dalmore.

 

The investment bank is expected to include the aggregate retail investor subscriptions in its “bookbuild” and, to the extent that the offering is oversubscribed, would determine the final allocations between institutional and retail investors and then sign an underwriting agreement with the relevant issuer. In the event that, following receipt of indications of interest from the investment bank’s institutional client base and from retail investors through the subscription platform hosted on goingpublic.com, the investment bank and the relevant issuer determine to change the price per share, the issuer would file a prospectus supplement for any increase or decrease resulting in no more than a 20% change in the aggregate offering price, in accordance with Rule 253 under the Securities Act, or would file a post-qualification amendment that would need to be re-qualified by the SEC. The underwriting agreement would be signed thereafter and, for those issuers who have been accepted for quotation on NASDAQ, the securities would begin trading similar to traditional IPOs.

 

We expect that the final appearances for such issuers would show the NASDAQ celebrations or “bell-ringing” ceremonies. These final appearances may be staggered during the season depending on the progress of each issuer’s offering. Closing and settlement would follow traditional IPO timing (T+2), with funds from institutional investors and funds held in escrow on behalf of retail investors being paid to the relevant issuer after deduction of the investment bank’s underwriting discount and other relevant offering expenses, as applicable. Each retail investor would be allocated securities, based the investment bank’s allocation determination discussed above, and would be refunded by the escrow agent for any amounts paid in excess of the price of the securities allocated to him or her.

 

Best Efforts Offerings

 

Featured issuers which have not engaged an investment bank to conduct a firm commitment offering will conduct a Regulation A offering on a best efforts basis, with Dalmore acting as broker-dealer of record until such time as we become registered as a broker-dealer and assume this role. Crush Capital will recommend various other service providers to these issuers including for legal due diligence and documentation, accounting and auditing, marketing assistance, escrow agent services and transfer agent services, as discussed under “Service Provider Partners” above. These issuers would file an offering statement with the SEC, determining the duration of, and the price for, their offerings in their sole discretion, and ultimately request qualification from the SEC. We will not post “testing the waters” pages for these issuers on the goingpublic.com website.

 

After an issuer’s offering statement has been qualified, the issuer will then be included as a featured issuer on Going Public. Retail investors will have an opportunity to review the definitive offering circulars for each issuer appearing on the show (a live hyperlink to each offering circular will appear clearly on each episode and will also be available from the time of qualification onwards on goingpublic.com) and to formally subscribe through a broker-dealer to an investment in the securities being offered. Aside from customary investor background information, the subscribers will be required to make representations concerning their status as an “accredited investor,” or their otherwise meeting financial requirements for Regulation A offerings. Dalmore will serve as broker-dealer of record in respect of investors that subscribe to the issuer’s offering through the company’s website, providing the services described under “– Service Provider Partners” above. The subscriptions from these retail investors will be reviewed by Dalmore and recommended to the issuer by Dalmore. The issuer would pay Dalmore a separate fee for its services in an amount that would be negotiated between Dalmore and each issuer. If we are successful in registering as a broker-dealer, we would assume the role of Dalmore discussed above. Prior to that time, Crush Capital will have no involvement in the pricing and other terms of these Regulation A offerings.

 

18

 

 

As these issuers receive subscriptions, they may conduct closings and sell securities to investors from time to time, subject to any minimum offering amount set forth in the offering circular, and are expected to terminate their offerings once their respective maximum offering amounts are reached or at some earlier point in time, as they determine in their sole discretion. In the event that any issuer conducting a best efforts offering does not terminate the offering on or before final episode of the show airs, its campaign page may remain posted on our website, goingpublic.com, and available for further subscriptions.

 

The Show

 

Format. Going Public will be produced in a serialized narrative format. Season 1 is envisioned as 10 twenty-two minute episodes. We expect to air the first episode in late fall of 2021. INE Entertainment has selected Lauren Simmons to act as host for Season 1 of Going Public. Ms. Simmons was the second African American female trader in the history of the New York Stock Exchange as well as the youngest. She was named to Harper's Bazaar's Women Who Lead 2019 list and Politico's Women of Impact, and is an author and speaker on personal finance for women, young people and minorities. Ms. Simmons’ compensation will be included within INE Entertainment’s production costs that comprise the production budget discussed under “– Production” below.

 

The show has a continuous plot that unfolds in sequential episode-by-episode fashion, following the paths of five featured issuers over the course of the season as they strive to market their deal, raise capital and complete their Regulation A offering. While the bulk of the series will be produced prior to airing, for featured issuers that will have their securities quoted on the NASDAQ, the celebrations, or “bell-ringing” ceremonies, will be filmed in real-time at the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square, New York.

  

Viewers will be introduced to multiple featured issuers who have qualified their offering statements with the SEC prior to airing. The featured issuers will demonstrate their business acumen and passion for their mission, seeking to create an emotional bond with the audience. In the early episodes, the chief executive officers and other members of senior management share their vision, mission, and history of the company. As the season progresses, the featured issuers may begin their capital raising journey by meeting with investors, participating in public relations events and creating retail awareness for their offering. Along the way, issuers are coached by icons of entrepreneurship, who give business advice and constructive criticism, and may even invest in the offering themselves.

 

For each issuer listing on NASDAQ, its final appearance on the show, following the signing of an underwriting agreement with the investment bank, will capture the “bell-ringing” ceremonies reflecting the start of trading, celebrations and interviews with executives and others. These final appearances may be staggered during the season depending on the progress of each issuer’s offering.

 

We anticipate that we may initially contract with more than five issuers that pass through the selection process and we and other service provider partners would progress with all issuers, filming each issuer’s story prior to qualification and any meetings with potential investors and roadshows. To the extent that one or more issuers fails to qualify, the raw footage filmed prior to broadcast would be edited to only include issuers that have qualified their offering statements with the SEC. We believe that the show will need at least three featured issuers who have qualified offering statements to have sufficient content for an entire series. The show will not be aired until at least three issuers’ offering statements are qualified by the SEC, although subscriptions may be made on the issuers’ subscription platforms promptly after qualification.

 

Production. We have entered into a master production services agreement and statement of works for Season 1 with INE Entertainment, based in Studio City, California, under which they will produce Season 1 of Going Public for an estimated production budget of approximately $1,760,000, based on the agreed scope of work and anticipated timeline. INE Entertainment will produce Season 1 and render all services related thereto, including the engagement of all personnel (including Ms. Simmons as host), equipment and third-party services. Under the agreement, we would be separately responsible for certain costs, including any public performance music royalties and the costs of engaging all on-camera mentors and cast members other than Ms. Simmons. We have full creative and business control over the production and own the show and all rights to all material and/or intellectual property created in connection with the show, including the show content, under the agreement. We intend to exercise our creative control in coordination with Dalmore and any underwriter for a firm commitment underwriting. The above production budget includes INE Entertainment’s fee of 10%. The agreement and related statement of works is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

INE Entertainment was founded by Mark Koops and Eric Day, who have been on the cutting edge of innovative content for more than 15 years. Together they’re responsible for developing, creating, and showrunning thousands of hours of programming, including unscripted TV juggernauts The Biggest Loser (NBC) and Masterchef (Fox) and groundbreaking non-linear projects like the real-time doc series @Summerbreak, the Emmy-nominated comedic anthology The Crossroads of History, and the Emmy-nominated hybrid comedy Making a Scene with James Franco.

 

INE Entertainment, their full-service independent production company, was founded in 2011, born out of a mission to combine great storytelling with innovative producing as the best way to serve tomorrow’s linear and non-linear distributors, an increasingly diverse community of talent in front of and behind the camera, and the progressively dynamic relationship between audiences, media platforms, and brands.

 

Distribution. We have entered into a distribution and promotion agreement with Entrepreneur Media, Inc. Season 1 will be promoted and distributed by Entrepreneur Media, Inc., streaming on www.entrepreneur.com, which boasts millions of customers, fans, and followers across its network. Going Public will be published on entrepreneur.com with a show specific “watch” page on which all episodes will be aggregated. Through the 181st day following the release date of episode 10 of Season 1, Entrepreneur Media, Inc. will provide a show-specific “watch” page for Going Public and also publish the show through various other digital platforms, including social media, streaming video Apps and potentially third-party distribution outlets. Entrepreneur Media, Inc. will also actively promote Going Public during this time. We will retain full control over the production of the show, with content being determined by the relevant issuer, in coordination with the accommodating broker-dealer and any firm commitment underwriter.

 

Entrepreneur Media, Inc. boasts nearly 15 million followers across their social platforms as well as over 14 million unique visitors to entrepreneur.com each month. Suffice to say, millions of viewers could have an opportunity to watch the unique journey of entrepreneurs raising capital on Going Public.

 

Sponsorship and Product Placement. Creative Artists Agency (“CAA”) represents INE Entertainment and Going Public in pursuit of securing one or more corporate sponsors for the show. We also intend to establish relationships with companies seeking to facilitate sales of their products linked to our show through affiliate agreements.

 

The Goingpublic.com Website and the Subscription Platform

 

While watching the show, viewers will be able to use the subscription platform to request to invest in a featured issuer through a third-party broker-dealer from their mobile device or computer. From the webpage streaming the show, viewers will have access to all of the qualified offering circulars via a clickable hyperlink and will be able to “click” to be brought to the subscription platform. When viewers take this action, the viewer will be navigated to goingpublic.com. Potential investors will also be able to log into goingpublic.com directly. The website will host the subscription offerings for the issuers currently featured on the show, as well as other issuers whose best efforts offerings continue following the end of a season. Prospective investors can subscribe to one or more offerings at their sole discretion. Each issuer will be represented by an issuer branded digital box that will include two digital buttons: “Invest Now” and “Click to Read the Offering Circular.”

 

If a potential investor is interested in investing in an issuer, that potential investor will begin the subscription process with the issuer by providing its relevant information and indicating the amount it wishes to invest in a particular issuer. Once that is completed, the platform will provide the potential investor with instructions for payment of funds. Any investor questions will be directed by the system to the relevant issuer. Investor subscriptions submitted through the subscription platform will be reviewed by the issuer and the accommodating broker-dealer. Communications from the platform will be sent in the name of the issuer, not the company or Going Public. Although the platform will be used to facilitate the transmission of requests to subscribe, we will play no role in executing or settling transactions, transmitting funds or securities, and are not responsible for payment or delivery. These functions will be the responsibility of the issuer, broker-dealer, and/or escrow agent.

 

Issuance, an affiliate of the company, is providing us strategic consulting services in connection with Regulation A offerings pursuant to a master services agreement and related statement of work for a fee of $25,000. In addition, pursuant to a referral agreement, it is also providing us access to and use of its securities offering subscription platform and proprietary tools and technology, negotiated third-party integrations, certain back-end tools, and other technology and operational processes for conducting, managing and/or enabling technology-driven capital raises of securities, and for maintaining and managing investor data, reporting and communications. Under this agreement, Issuance will receive a technology fee from us equal to $2.95 per subscription. The master services agreement and related statement of work and the referral agreement are each filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Strategy

 

Crush Capital believes the show will engage viewers through high-impact entrepreneur-focused story-telling, creating a bond between the viewer and the featured Going Public issuers. We believe powerful story-telling together with interactive engagement will enable us to establish and quickly grow a viewer base. We intend to apply to become a registered broker-dealer and have engaged Luxor Financial Group to assist us in this effort. If we are successful, we would be able to to increase revenue through the provision of additional services, including charging commission-based fees charged to featured issuers.

 

Furthermore, we believe the companies featured on the show will be able to attract new categories of potential investors that may not have otherwise been aware of opportunities to invest in these types of companies or may have not had interest in the more formal/traditional formats.

 

We intend to expand production, effectively airing multiple seasons per calendar year and creating various verticals that will allow us to further grow the base of subscribers who may have specific interest in core areas, such as real estate, fine art, music/media, and other verticals where we can produce dynamic content.

 

As viewers use our platform, we build valuable customer data. Once subscribers create accounts on the subscription platform, Crush Capital will collect multiple forms of customer data and transform it into a unified customer view. Customer data supports every aspect of a modern business, from marketing to service to merchandising to privacy and beyond. Customer data provides much of the power of digitalization: It facilitates target advertising, customizes product placement by sponsors, predicts behaviors, optimizes processes, and measures results. We expect to leverage a continually increasing audience and subscriber base to not only benefit our core business but to build on it through:

  

  targeted sponsorship and advertising opportunities,
  expanding the functionality of the subscription platform and leveraging our relationships with our service provider partners and others to address the needs of a broader range of companies at various stages of their development,
  attracting A-List celebrity-endorsed businesses to feature on the show,
  enlisting A-List talent to support featured issuers, including as mentors, host(s), video bloggers and other influencers,
  expanding the subscription platform for international distribution or licensing our format for use in international markets,
 

continued design and build out of our technology to minimize reliance on third parties and/or APIs.

 

Market

 

Amended Regulation A, popularly known as “Regulation A+,” became effective June 19, 2015. Regulation A has two tiers. Issuers conducting offerings through broker-dealers hosted on our website will be utilizing Tier 2, which has a maximum offering of $75 million within a twelve month period and facilitates a national offering by pre-empting state qualification and registration requirements (unlike Tier 1). The SEC published a look-back study and analysis in March 2020, and reported as of December 31, 2019, that under Tier 2, it qualified 277 offerings seeking up to $8.3 billion. During this period, $2.2 billion had been reported as raised. According to the report, during 2019, reported aggregate proceeds under Tier 2 of nearly $1 billion were raised from 39 issuers. The aggregate reported proceeds increased approximately 47% from the amount in 2018 ($675 million).

 

We believe the market for Regulation A, Tier 2, will continue to grow as more companies become aware of the ability to raise capital through crowdfunding platforms. Because it permits a maximum raise of $75 million every 12 months, we believe this rule is well suited for small and midsize businesses. Further, the recent legislative change to permit SEC-reporting companies to make offerings in reliance on Regulation A could expand the potential market for our services to smaller public companies. We expect to continue to see increasing numbers of companies conducting offerings under Regulation A. We believe our company, combining a subscription platform for issuers, accessed through our website goingpublic.com, with a production storyline will be well positioned to capture the interests of issuers in our target category, though we may encounter increasing competition from other crowdfunding platforms that may look to model our approach.

Competition

 

There are many and diverse types of programming available to the general public, both through traditional television media as well as online content. In order to succeed, we will need to attract a sufficient viewer following of persons who are engaged in following the progress of the issuers that are featured. We are only aware of a limited number of competitors that give viewers of a show the opportunity to invest and less that showcase seasoned or established issuers engaging in financing that are open to accepting investments from viewers.

 

We will compete with other programming focused on businesses raising capital, such as Shark Tank, Elevator Pitch (hosted by Entrepreneur Media, Inc., our distribution partner), as well as similarly themed programs such as The Profit. We will also compete with numerous crowdfunding and fundraising platforms to attract issuers that will appeal to investors. While these platforms do not currently provide both the comprehensive service offering that we, along with our partners, expect to offer, the fees charged by these platforms may be more attractive than ours. Further, many of these platforms have an established investor base, which may be appealing to the issuers we are looking to attract to participate in our program. In addition, competing crowdfunding and fundraising platforms may modify their product offerings to expand their services and present similar issuer-focused productions to compete with us more directly. Many of our competitors, particularly production content providers, are larger companies with significant cash reserves that would allow them to compete aggressively with us. Many of our crowdfunding and fundraising platform competitors have established businesses with greater experience than us in operating in a regulated environment. As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes impacting our industry.

 

Intellectual Property 

 

We have received a Class 41 Service Mark from the United States Patent and Trademark office for the name Going Public, Reg. No. 6,197,004 with Ser. No. 88-786,649 which was filed on 02-05-2020 and Registered Nov. 10, 2020. Additionally, own our domain name, goingpublic.com, as well as a number of other domain names with different suffixes. We also obtained a CompuMark U.S. Full Entertainment Search Report for Going Public as an interactive series which reflects that the phrase GOING PUBLIC is available for our use as the title of an interactive series for Entrepreneur Media, Inc. The use of this title may include theatrical, non-theatrical, television (standard and non-standard), home video, DVD and Multimedia/CD ROM, online and computer games, and print publishing and merchandising directly derived from the program.

 

Employees

 

We have 2 full-time employees, which includes our Co-Chief Executive Officers, as well as 3 contractors providing accounting and marketing services.

 

Regulation

 

Broker-Dealer Registration Requirements

 

With respect to sales under Regulation A, Tier 2, we provide the technology platform for issuers and their broker-dealers to identify and interact with potential investors. Our initial planned activities involve airing a television show and providing a platform that connects investors to third-party broker-dealers, with no discretion on our part as to which investors seek to invest in which issuers. We are not currently registered as a broker-dealer and do not believe that we would be required to register in order to engage in our initial planned activities because they would not constitute “engaging in the business” of effecting transactions in securities. In particular, we will not engage in the following activities:

 

  Actively soliciting investors (these activities will be the responsibility of Dalmore or performed by the issuer itself);
  Negotiating the terms of an arrangement between issuers and investors (these activities will be the responsibility of Dalmore);
  Accepting compensation related to the success or size of the transaction or deal;
  Handling funds or securities relating a transaction;
  Extending credit to investors; and creating the market and help negotiate the price between buyers and sellers;
  Holding ourselves out as providing securities-related financial services (other than acting as a platform to facilitate interaction between investors, issuers and broker-dealers); or
  Providing any advice, endorsement, analysis or recommendation about the merits of an investment in any issuers for which are featured on the show.

 

22

 

 

There has been limited regulatory guidance as to the circumstances in which state or federal broker-dealer registration requirements apply to online platforms that connect investors, issuers and broker-dealers, and such guidance as it exists generally predates the technological developments of the last couple of decades. Advocates such as the American Bar Association’s Private Broker Task Force have long urged the Commission and the Staff to provide clearer guidance as to what it means to be “engaged in the business” of effecting securities for others and thus triggering the broker-dealer definition. The Commission’s recent Proposed Exemptive Order (the “Finders Release”) regarding the activities of finders provided useful context as the Commission’s thinking in some areas, but the SEC has not provided any guidance addressing online platforms. We do not believe that our platform or show’s functions implicate any of the non-exhaustive factors outlined in the Finder Release as potential indicators of broker-dealer status. In particular, we believe our role in facilitating interactions between investors, issuers and broker-dealers is similar to those of other non-financial technology or other service providers to which the staff of the SEC has previously issued “no-action” letters, indicating that the staff would not recommend enforcement action against those parties for failing to register as a broker-dealer. These include firms that would broadcast over the internet “road shows” relating to public offerings, and those that would provide technological connectivity between various securities market participants, in each case subject to conditions that we believe similarly apply to us—such as our being compensated without regard to the size or success of a transaction, and the performance by a registered broker-dealer of all substantive financial services.

 

We expect to expand the scope of our services, and alter our compensation model in the future, such that we may at that time be required to register as. As a result, we intend to apply for registration as a broker-dealer through a subsidiary and have engaged Luxor Financial Group to assist us in this effort. Operating as a broker-dealer requires registration with the SEC as well as various states, and generally obtaining and maintaining membership in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as well as the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Certain of our personnel will also be required to register with states and FINRA as associated persons and satisfy all applicable qualification requirements.

 

SEC and FINRA Requirements

 

Once our subsidiary becomes a broker-dealer, it will be required to comply with extensive statutory requirements, SEC regulations, and FINRA rules. These include, among other things, sales and trading practices and reporting requirements, client onboarding, advertising and marketing, publication or distribution of research, margin lending, uses and safekeeping of clients’ funds and securities, capital adequacy, recordkeeping, reporting, fee arrangements, disclosures to clients, suitability, acting in client’s best interests when making recommendations to retail customers, customer privacy, data protection, information security and cybersecurity, the safeguarding of customer information, the sharing of customer information, best execution of customer orders, public offerings, customer qualifications for margin and options transactions, registration of personnel, business continuity planning, transactions with affiliates, conflicts, and the conduct of directors, officers and employees.

 

Liability

 

The information presented on our website and included in the show will be drafted by the issuers themselves or with the assistance of an underwriter in the case of firm commitment underwritings. Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which applies to Regulation A, imposes liability for misleading statements not only on the issuers of securities but also on “sellers,” which includes brokers involved in soliciting an offering. Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act generally imposes liability on persons who “make” statements, which may include us. Further, we may also face liability from existing anti-fraud rules and statutes under the securities laws. For instance, under Section 9(a)(4) of the Exchange Act anyone who “willfully participates” in an offering could be liable for false or misleading statements made to induce a securities transaction.

 

If we were to become registered as a broker-dealer, we would be subject to heightened standards and additional potential sources of liability, in addition to potential liability under Section 12(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5. Broker-dealers may also be subject to liability for failure to comply with SEC and FINRA requirements, including claims that we can be held liable for the behavior of our agents (control person liability), claims regarding recommendations being unsuitable or not in investors’ “best interest,” violations of breach of contract, common law claims of fraud and various claims under state laws.

 

Data Privacy Regulation

 

As a result of our collection of investor data, we will be subject to state laws that regulate data collected over the internet. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) was signed into law on June 28, 2018, and went into effect on January 1, 2020. On June 1, 2020, the Office of the California Attorney General submitted the final proposed regulations package under the CCPA to the California Office of Administrative Law. New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Hawaii and North Dakota have proposed similar legislation.

 

CCPA grants California consumers robust data privacy rights and control over their personal information, including the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information that businesses collect, among other things. Under the CCPA, consumers have a right to access the categories and specific pieces of personal information held by businesses and to know the uses of that information by a business. The CCPA has very broad definition of personal information: “information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.” Businesses cannot sell consumers’ personal information without providing a web notice (“a clean and conspicuous link”) and giving them an opportunity to opt-out. There is also a “right to delete,” with some exemptions, consumer personal information on request. The CCPA also gives consumers a right of action to sue if they are the victim of a data breach or for a violation of their rights under the CCPA. It also gives the state Attorney General the ability to sue on behalf of residents. We will be required to provide consumers with a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information and of the rights of consumers regarding their personal information.

 

THE COMPANY’S PROPERTY

 

We have entered into two one-year membership agreements for our two officers and directors for a co-working space Spring Place in Beverly Hills, California. The shared work space is a communal space for members with no assigned offices or conferences room. This agreement has been initiated, but during the current global pandemic, in light of the social distancing restrictions in place in California, only outdoor spaces are available.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of December 31, 2020.

 

Overview

 

Our company was formed on June 20, 2017 (“Inception”) in the State of California as a limited liability company under the name Trojan Horse Media Group, LLC. On May 4, 2020, this entity was converted from a California limited liability company into a Delaware corporation under the name Crush Capital Inc. in the State of Delaware. We have a limited operating history, and no revenue generating activity to date.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. To date, we have incurred net losses, negative cash flows from operations, and require additional working capital to develop, produce and distribute Going Public. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

During the next 12 months, we intend to fund our operations through revenues from operations, related party advances, and the sale of equity and/or debt securities, including this offering and our offering of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, discussed below. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of planned operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 consist primarily of operating costs for our ongoing operations. The largest change between the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was salary expenses of $268,570 and $0, respectively. Other differences comparing the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: (1) guaranteed payments increased from $50,000 in 2019 to $240,000 in 2020, (2) travel costs increased from $1,783 in 2019 to $27,103 in 2002, (3) production expenses increased from $0 in 2019 to $77,218 in 2020 and (4) public relations were $0 in 2019 compared to $75,384 in 2020. Our expenses for legal and professional services for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $218,896 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 which were $54,098. In addition, legal fees of $87,228 and $0 were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which were capitalized as deferred offering costs.

 

We expect to generate revenue through: (1) upfront payments from our featured issuers (2) advertising revenue from corporate sponsors, (3) a $15.95 processing fee charged to investors and reflecting our cost to process a subscription and (4) to a lesser extent, sales commissions from product sales by third parties through our website. We intend to charge each of our selected featured issuers a fee of $250,000 plus equity based consideration, as discussed under “—Plan of Operation” below. We expect to incur operating costs related to the production of our show, the development of our website and subscription platform and increased staffing to support our operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2020, our cash and equivalents were $1,466,776 and, as of December 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $11,929, the increase reflecting the net proceeds of our sale of Preferred Units, prior to our conversion to a Delaware corporation, and our sale of Series A Preferred Stock, less amounts used to fund our ongoing administrative expenses. We are an early stage company and have not generated significant revenue to date. Our cash utilization rate is currently approximately $175,000 per month.

 

To date, we funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities and cash contributions from our founders and Co-Chief Executive Officers, Darren Marble and Todd Goldberg. In 2019, prior to our conversion to a Delaware corporation, we sold Preferred Units for gross proceeds of $100,000 and in 2020, we sold an additional 375,000 Preferred Units, raising $375,000 through May 2020. We have also issued equity in exchange for services in both 2019 and 2020. In 2020, we commenced an offering of our Series A Preferred Stock under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, providing for an offering of up to $3,000,000 at a purchase price of $0.18296. Beginning in June 2020 and through March 10, 2021, we issued 15,221,915 shares in the offering for $2,785,002 in gross proceeds. In June 2021, we commenced an offering of Series A-1 Preferred Stock plus Warrants under which we have issued 4,868,550 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Warrants exercisable for 2,434,274 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.4108, and received gross proceeds of $2,000,000. We have used a portion of the proceeds of these offerings to partially fund our production costs and initial costs related to our application to become a broker-dealer. We also issued warrants in exchange for advisory services in 2021. These warrants consisted of a warrant to purchase 2,732,838 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at $0.18296 per share with an expiration date of December 30, 2021 and a warrant to purchase 2,732,838 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $0.18296 per share with an expiration date of December 29, 2021.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We commenced casting in mid-July 2020 for potential featured issuers for Season 1 of Going Public and to date have entered into agreements with four issuers that passed through the selection process. Companies selected for Season 1 will pay a cash fee to Crush Capital of $250,000 each plus equity-based consideration of the same fixed dollar amount for each issuer and consisting of restricted equity of the type proposed to be offered by the issuer, or the same fixed dollar amount of other securities or cash in the event that an issuer’s offering is not successful. The cash portion of the fee will be an upfront payment to the company in advance of any production or filming. Similarly, the payment of a fixed dollar amount of equity-based compensation will be contractually committed upfront in advance of any production or filming. The compensation paid to us by featured issuers, whether in cash or in equity, will not be refundable if an offering is unsuccessful. In determining the amount of equity-based compensation with each issuer, the company will ensure that it will not acquire a controlling interest in any of the issuers. Furthermore, it will determine the amount of any equity-based fees to ensure that its ownership in any featured issuer will represent significantly less than 10% of an issuer’s outstanding capital. We will not take equity in any amount that would grant us any level of “control” over the operations of an issuer.

 

Cash Fees of at least $1,250,000 from our first five featured issuers plus existing cash on hand, along with a minimum raise in this offering of $1,000,000 would fully fund pre-season and in-season promotion and production of Season 1. We anticipate that we may initially sign on more than five issuers that pass through the selection process, which would provide additional revenues and increase our estimated production budget. To the extent that one or more issuers fails to qualify, these issuers would not be included in the show. We believe that we would need at least three issuers that have had their offering statements qualified by the SEC to have sufficient content for an entire series. If only three issuers are qualified, we would need to have raised at least $1,000,000 in this offering to fully fund Season 1. If we fail to raise a sufficient amount in this offering to fund Season 1, we would need to secure additional financing. As discussed in “Risk Factors” above, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting additional health and safety measures required for filming may increase our expected costs of production.

 

We also intend to charge each subscriber a processing fee of $15.95 reflecting the computer hardware and software costs and related support expected to be incurred by us in processing a subscription. CAA is representing INE Entertainment and us attempting to secure one or more corporate sponsors for the show Going Public, which would bring in incremental revenue. The amount of any incremental revenue from these sources is uncertain at this point and therefore has not been factored into this discussion, though we would expect that some of this sponsorship revenue and revenue from other fees may be received by the end of 2020 and the first half of 2021, assuming we have launched the show and at least one of the featured issuers has begun accepting subscriptions during that time frame.

 

25

 

 

We have taken a coordinated and strategic approach to promotion and marketing. The costs consist of the milestone payments to Entrepreneur Media, Inc. which will promote Going Public across their network. If we raise $5,500,000 or more in this offering, we intend to enhance our marking and promotional campaigns for Going Public in the following areas: digital marketing, content marketing, email marketing, and paid media marketing.

 

We will incur production costs of an estimated $1,760,000 payable to INE Entertainment to produce Season 1 of Going Public.

 

Finally, we have taken a strategic approach to our website, goingpublic.com, and subscription platform. Licensing an existing subscription engine and partnering with other professional service providers that have existing API’s (i.e., escrow and transfer agent) allows us to operate as a technology service and minimize our capital outlay for Season 1. Our costs for this licensed technology and related services will be $2.95 per subscription, which will be netted off the subscription processing fees paid by our featured issuers as discussed above. We intend to apply for registration as a broker-dealer, which we anticipate may cost up to $500,000, including initial net capital and legal and compliance fees. We will continue to review options to internalize the related technology infrastructure.

 

Provided we raise the maximum amount in this offering, we intend to fund significant promotion and marketing for Season 1 of Going Public, build and/or acquire some or all necessary core technology and service provider components to ultimately reduce costs and overall reliance on third parties, secure an A-List celebrity as a spokesperson for Going Public and contract with A-List influencers to promote the show and its episodes; hire the team to facilitate our operations in finance, technology, engineering, compliance, security, business development and sales and marketing.

 

We estimate that net proceeds from the maximum offering amount would fund our operations for a period of at least two years, assuming no incremental revenue above the upfront cash fees paid by our featured issuers. With our contemplated cost structure, operating plan and revenue model, we estimate reaching breakeven by the end of 2023.

 

Please see “Use of Proceeds” for a breakdown of specific amounts that we currently estimate spending at 25%, 50% 75% and 100% of the maximum offering amount.

 

Trend Information

 

In March 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19 and a significant portion of the U.S. population became subject to “stay at home” or similar social distancing requirements, which had a significant impact on the film industry. Enhanced health and safety measures are in effect in Los Angeles and may be in effect in other areas where we film the show, which may cause our production costs to be higher than they would have been otherwise. While we have complied, and believe we will continue to be able to comply, with any required health and safety measures during the production of the show, we may experience reluctance on the part of issuers and others to participate in filming and other activities while COVID-19 remains a risk.

 

We have negotiated terms covering most of the key components of our cost structure for Season 1 of Going Public but we would anticipate those cost to increase over time. We also expect to record significantly higher operating costs, including payroll and other administrative expenses, starting when we begin production and increasing thereafter to support our operations and the administration of our website and the subscription platform.

 

See the section entitled, “Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” at the beginning of this Offering Circular for a discussion of the modified reporting requirements for “emerging growth” companies that we may take advantage of should be become a public reporting company.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

The company and the selling stockholders are offering up to 17,480,000 Units, at a price of $1.145 per Unit. Each Unit consists of 1 share of Non-Voting Common Stock and 1 Warrant exercisable to purchase one-half of a share of Non-Voting Common Stock for an exercise price of $1.43 per whole share of Non-Voting Common Stock. Our Units will not be certificated and the shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock and the Warrants that are components of such Units will be immediately separable and will be delivered separately in this offering.

 

Warrants

 

The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the Warrants included in the Units. The Warrants are subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the amended and restated warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) between us and our warrant agent, Computershare (the “Warrant Agent”), filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

 

Each purchaser of a Unit will receive a Warrant exercisable into one-half of a share of Non-Voting Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.43 per whole share, subject to customary adjustments.

 

Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one-half of a share of our Non-Voting Common Stock at any time commencing on the issuance date of the Warrant, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date of the Warrant. The Warrants may be exercised upon delivery of an exercise notice at the offices of the Warrant Agent or by using a website that the company will establish to permit online exercise, if applicable. A Warrant holder may only exercise its Warrants for a whole number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of Warrants. Fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. As a result, you must hold Warrants in multiples of two in order to receive shares for all of your Warrants upon exercise.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent. Exercise of the Warrants will be conditional upon our maintaining the qualification of an offering statement covering such exercise. In addition, by acceptance of Warrants, each holder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any common stock (or other securities) of the company held by such holder during the 180 day period following the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the company or an underwriter in certain circumstances). Each holder further agrees to execute a market stand-off agreement with underwriters in the offering in customary form consistent with the provisions in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Rights as a Stockholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrant Agreement or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Non-Voting Common Stock until the holder exercises the Warrant.

 

Amendments

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrant Agreement, the company and the Warrant Agent may amend the Warrant Agreement and the Warrants with the consent of the holders of not fewer than a majority of the unexercised Warrants affected by such amendment (by number of shares purchasable under such Warrants), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of Warrants under the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants; provided, however, that, without the consent of each of the Warrant holders affected thereby, no such amendment may be made that (i) changes the Warrants so as to reduce the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants or so as to increase the exercise price (other than as provided in the Warrant Agreement), (ii) shortens the period of time during which the Warrants may be exercised, (iii) otherwise adversely affects the exercise rights of the Warrant holders in any material respect, or (iv) reduces the number of unexercised Warrants the holders of which must consent for an amendment of the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants.

 

The company and the Warrant Agent may amend or supplement the Warrant Agreement without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, (ii) evidencing the succession of another corporation to the company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the company contained in the Warrant agreement and the Warrants, (iii) evidencing and providing for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Warrant Agent with respect to the Warrants, (iv) adding to the covenants of the company for the benefit of the Warrant holders or surrendering any right or power conferred upon the company under the Warrant Agreement, or (viii) amending the Warrant Agreement and the Warrants in any manner that the company may deem to be necessary or desirable and that will not adversely affect the interests of the Warrant holders in any material respect.

Copies of each of these documents have been filed as exhibits to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part. For a complete description of our capital stock, you should refer to these documents and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

 

The authorized capital stock of the company consists of two classes of Common Stock designated, respectively, Voting Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which there are two Series, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

Our Co-CEOs have each submitted a notice to us to convert 1,746,725 shares of Voting Common Stock into the same number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock that are being offered in this offering, with the conversion occurring immediately prior to the qualification of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.  Giving effect to this conversion, as of June 23, 2021, the authorized and outstanding shares included:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock is required to amend, alter or repeal (by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise) the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws if such action would adversely affect (disproportionately relative to the Voting Common Stock) the preferences, rights or powers of the Non-Voting Common Stock. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, holders of Non-Voting Common Stock are entitled to vote on a limited number of other corporate actions, including:

 

an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would increase or decrease the par value of the Non-Voting Common Stock or alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the Non-Voting Common Stock so as to affect them adversely,
conversion of the company to a limited liability company, statutory trust, business trust or association, real estate investment trust, common-law trust or any other unincorporated business including a general or limited partnership or a corporation domiciled in another state and
a transfer to or domestication in any non-U.S. jurisdiction, either ceasing or continuing to exist as a Delaware corporation.

 

Holders of Voting Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock, if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Conversion of Voting Common Stock

 

The shares of Voting Common Stock are convertible into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder.

 

32

 

 

Subdivisions or Combinations

 

If the company in any manner subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) or combines (by any reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of the other class of Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner.

 

Dividend Rights

 

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds, subject to the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, as described below.

 

The company has never declared or paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends after this offering or in the foreseeable future.

 

Liquidation Rights

 

In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the company, the holders of Non-Voting Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders on a pari passu basis with the Voting Common Stock and after the payment of all debts and other liabilities of the company and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of all shares of the outstanding Preferred Stock. 

 

Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

The company’s Board of Directors is expressly authorized to establish, out of up to 1,697,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock, one or more series of Preferred Stock, without the consent or vote of the company’s stockholders, and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Except as otherwise required by law or as provided in the Certificate of Incorporations, shares of Preferred Stock are non-voting and are not entitled to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the company.

For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the approval of holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is required to do any of the following:

 

  Amend, alter, or repeal (by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise) the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws so as to adversely affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock;
Reduce the authorized number of Series A Preferred Shares;
Purchase or redeem any shares of the company’s capital stock until such time as each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock has been paid cumulative dividends equal to its Preferred Return (as defined below), other than capital stock repurchased from former employees, directors, consultants, or the like in connection with the cessation of their employment or services.

 

Dividends

 

The company will only declare, pay, or set aside any dividends if fifty percent (50%) of such dividends are paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, on a pro rata basis, until the company has paid cumulative dividends with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Preferred Return. The remaining fifty percent (50%) of such dividends shall be declared and paid pro rata to the holders of Common Stock. After each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock has been paid cumulative dividends equal to its Preferred Return, all dividends will be declared and paid pro rata on the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock on a pari passu basis and as converted basis.

 

“Preferred Return” means an amount equal to the Series A Original Issue Price, plus two percent (2%) per annum of the unreturned portion of the Series A Original Issue Price outstanding, calculated daily from the date each share of Series A Preferred Stock was issued (or if a share was issued upon the conversion of the company from its predecessor entity, then the issue date of the original security) until payment of the Preferred Return. Dividends shall be applied first to the 2% per annum and thereafter to the return of the Series A Original Issue Price.

 

The “Series A Original Issue Price” means $0.18296 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization of the Series A Preferred Stock.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, or a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below) the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid, in preference to holders of Common Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Preferred Return per share of Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Non-Voting Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, or a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), after payment to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid, in preference to holders of Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Series A-1 Original Issue Price less all dividends previously received with respect to such share, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Non-Voting Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

A “Deemed Liquidation Event” means the following, unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elect otherwise:

 

a merger or consolidation in which (i) the company is a constituent party or (ii) a subsidiary of the company is a constituent party and the company issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, other than a merger or consolidation involving the company or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or resulting corporation or, if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or
the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the company or any subsidiary of the company of all or substantially all of its business or assets taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of one or more subsidiaries of the company if substantially all of the business or assets of the company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except in either case where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event of the company, after the payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the company or, in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event, the consideration not payable to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the remaining available proceeds, as the case may be, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis.

 

Conversion

 

Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at the then effective conversion rate, which is currently 1:1. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for events such as stock splits or combinations, certain distributions of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the company or certain reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers, in each case as described in the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, at the then-effective conversion rate, upon either:

 

  the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act resulting in at least $50,000,000 of net proceeds to the company at a price per share of not less than three times the then-effective Series A conversion price (currently $0.18296), or
as specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Registration Rights

 

We have granted to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock certain registration rights pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement. We have agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act if, at any time after May 4, 2025, we are requested to do so by the holders of 50% of the shares of Common Stock underlying our Series A Preferred Stock, plus any shares of Common Stock held by them or issuable upon exercise or conversion of securities held by them (collectively “Series A Registerable Securities”), covering at least 40% of the Series A Registrable Securities then outstanding. We have also agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act covering Series A Registrable Securities if we are eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement and if requested to do so by the holders of 30% of Series A Registrable Securities for an offering of Series A Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of selling expenses, of at least $5 million. We have a right to defer our obligations to file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 for up to 120 days for certain reasons if, in the good faith judgment of our Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to us and our stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective. Finally, if we propose to register any of our Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash, with certain exceptions, we will include all of the Series A Registrable Securities that any holder thereof requests to be included.

These Series A registration rights terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, (b) such time after termination of this offering as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of Series A Registrable Securities without limitation during a three-month period without registration; or (c) the fifth anniversary of the qualification of the Offering Statement related to this offering.

 

We have also granted to holders of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock purchasing shares in our ongoing Regulation D offering certain registration rights under the Series A-1 Registration Rights Agreement.

We have also agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act covering Registrable Securities if we are eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement and if requested to do so by the holders of 30% of Registrable Securities for an offering of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of selling expenses, of at least $5 million. We have a right to defer our obligations to file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 for up to 120 days for certain reasons if, in the good faith judgment of our Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to us and our stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective. Finally, if we propose to register any of our Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash, with certain exceptions, we will include all of the Series A-1 Registrable Securities that any holder thereof requests to be included.

 

These Series A-1 registration rights terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, (b) such time after termination of this offering as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of Registrable Securities held by the holders of our Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock without limitation during a three-month period without registration; or (c) the fifth anniversary of the qualification of the Offering Statement related to this offering.

 

First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement

 

The following provisions of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement apply only to our Co-Chief Executive Officers, as holders of our Voting Common Stock, and holders of our Series A Preferred Stock as well as any persons acquiring shares from such holders.

 

If at any time a holder of our Voting Common Stock, or any transferee that holds 3% or more of our outstanding equity securities (a “Major Holder”), proposes to transfer equity securities, other than Preferred Stock, the company will have an option for a period of twenty (20) business days from notice thereof to elect to purchase, in whole or in part, the offered shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions. If the company fails to purchase any or all of the offered shares, each stockholder that is a party to the First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement may elect to purchase its respective pro rata share of the remaining offered shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions. In the event any holder elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the remaining offered shares, the other holders that elected to purchase all of their respective pro rata portions of such remaining offered shares will have the right to acquire those remaining shares on a pro rate basis.

 

To the extent that all of the offered shares are not purchased by the company or the other holders party to the First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, all such holders may elect to participate in the sale of shares on a pro rata basis and at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions.

 

The above first refusal and co-sale rights are subject to a number of exceptions, including any sale of equity securities to the public under the Securities Act.

 

Voting Rights Agreement

 

We have entered into a Voting Rights Agreement with our Co-Chief Executive Officers under which they (or any transferee or assignee) will vote their shares:

 

to maintain the number of directors at 3 or such other number as agreed,
to elect one director nominated by each of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and a third director selected by them, with alternate provisions if they fail to agree,
to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock as needed for for conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at any given time and for the exercise of all warrants, options, and similar securities outstanding at any given time, and
for any other matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders, as they mutually agree, with alternate provisions if they fail to agree.

 

No director appointed as above may be removed without the consent of the person(s) nominating such director. The Voting Rights Agreement terminates upon the earlier of: (a) the closing of the sale of our Common Stock to the public in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act resulting in at least $50,000,000 of net proceeds to the company at a price per share of not less than three times the then effective conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (b) the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation Event.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

 

We and the selling stockholders are offering up to 17,480,000 Units on a “best efforts” basis at a price of $1.145 per Unit. 13,986,550 of the Units are comprised of 13,986,550 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and 13,986,550 warrants both being offered by us, and 3,493,450 Units are comprised of 3,493,450 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders and 3,493,450 warrants being offered by us.

 

Each Unit consists of 1 share of Non-Voting Common Stock and 1 Warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Non-Voting Common Stock. The shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and the Warrants that are components of the Units will be immediately separable and delivered separately but will be purchased together. The minimum investment is $1,145, or 1,000 Units. Of the 26,220,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock qualified under the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, up to 8,740,000 of such shares are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

  

We plan to market the securities in this offering both through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of contacting potential investors through electronic media and posting our Offering Circular or “testing the waters” materials on an online subscription platform.

 

Our Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors in this offering via download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on our company website www.crushcapital.com/invest, as well as on our website, goingpublic.com. Prospective investors may subscribe for our shares in this offering only through the Crush Capital website.

 

The offering will terminate at the earlier of the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold and the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the company, in its sole discretion. We may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to us.

 

The company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”) a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA, to perform the following administrative and technology related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services:

 

  Review investor information, including KYC (“Know Your Customer”) data, AML (“Anti Money Laundering”) and other compliance background checks, and provide a recommendation to the company whether or not to accept an investor as a customer. 
  Review each investor’s subscription agreement to confirm such investors participation in the offering, and provide a determination to the company whether or not to accept the use of the subscription agreement for the investor’s participation.
  Contact and/or notify the company, if needed, to gather additional information or clarification on an investor; 
  Not provide any investment advice nor any investment recommendations to any investor.
  Keep investor details and data confidential and not disclose to any third-party except as required by regulators or pursuant to the terms of the agreement (e.g. as needed for AML and background checks). 
  Coordinate with third-party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance. 

 

As compensation for the services listed above, the company has agreed to pay Dalmore a $5,000 advance fee plus a $3,500 FINRA corporate filing fee. The advance fee will cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore, such as preparing the FINRA filing, working with our SEC counsel in providing information to the extent necessary, coordination with any third-party vendors involved in this offering and any other services necessary and required. Dalmore will refund to us any portion of the advance fee related that is not used. The company has also agreed to pay Dalmore a one time consulting fee of $20,000 to provide ongoing general consulting services relating to the offering such as coordination with third-party vendors and general guidance with respect to the offering. The consulting fee is due and payable within 30 days after the offering is qualified by the Commission. In addition, the company and the selling stockholders will pay commissions to Dalmore equal to 1% of the amount raised in the offering to support the offering once the SEC has qualified the Offering Statement and the offering commences. The company estimates that total fees due to pay Dalmore would be $225,146 for a fully-subscribed offering plus the FINRA corporate filing fee. These assumptions were used in estimating the expenses of this offering.

 

Selling Stockholders

 

Each of Mr. Marble and Mr. Goldberg have each submitted a notice to us to convert 1,746,725 shares of Voting Common Stock into the same number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock that are being offered in this offering, with the conversion occurring immediately prior to the qualification of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.  Each of Mr. Marble and Mr. Goldberg, the selling stockholders, will sell up to a maximum of 1,746,725 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, representing 40.7% of our outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, after giving effect to this share conversion.

 

The following table, which reflects the effect of the share conversion, sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock beneficially owned by him prior to this offering, the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock being offered by him in this offering and the number of shares and percentage of outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be beneficially owned by him after this offering, assuming that the maximum offering amount is raised.

The company and the selling stockholders will each pay their respective commissions related the securities being sold by them and have agreed with us to apportion the remaining expenses of the offering on the basis of the respective number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be sold by each of us and the selling stockholders in this offering.

 

Warrant Agent and Transfer Agent

 

We have engaged Computershare to act as the Warrant Agent for the Warrants pursuant to a Warrant Agreement. We have also engaged Computershare to act as our Transfer Agent for the company’s securities.

 

Online Platform

 

We will be hosting the offering on our own website, www.crushcapital.com/invest. Issuance, a company founded and controlled by Darren Marble, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, and has agreed to provide its offering subscription platform, Issuance Portal, to process investments from retail investors for Dalmore for an upfront fee of $15,000 and a $25 fee per subscription processed, regardless of whether an investment is ultimately accepted by us. Issuance will design the Crush Capital offering site homepage, FAQ, investor tutorial, privacy policy, and terms of use. Issuance will then integrate its subscription platform into our site. Issuance Portal offers account creation, log in, password recovery, investor registration, payment, agreement signature, confirmation and investor dashboard functionality. The terms of our arrangement are set forth in, and qualified by reference to, the Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

 

Process of Subscribing

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, we will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Units. The company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). At each closing, 70% of the Units sold to investors will be comprised of shares and warrants sold by us and 30% of such Units will be comprised of shares sold by the selling stockholders and warrants issued by us for no additional consideration, until all of the shares offered by the selling stockholder have been sold.

 

Investors may subscribe by tendering funds by check, wire transfer, credit or debit card or ACH transfer to the escrow account to be setup by the Escrow Agent. Tendered funds will remain in escrow until a closing has occurred. Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company for its use.

 

The minimum investment in this offering is $1,145, or 1,000 Units.

 

Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of his or her annual income or 10% of his or her net worth (excluding the investor’s principal residence).

 

Escrow Agent 

 

The company has entered into an Escrow Services Agreement with Prime Trust, LLC (the “Escrow Agent”). Investor funds will be held by the Escrow Agent pending closing or termination of the offering. All subscribers will be instructed by the company or its agents to transfer funds by check, wire transfer, credit or debit card, or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. The company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving Units; escrowed funds may be returned.

 

For its services, Escrow Agent will receive fees of approximately $600,000, assuming the maximum amount of $20,014,600 is raised in this offering. The Escrow Agent has not investigated the desirability or advisability of an investment in the units nor approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of purchasing the securities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors and Members

Crush Capital, Inc.

 

Report on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Crush Capital Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related statements of operations, members’ and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crush Capital Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses, negative cash flows from operations, and requires additional working capital, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CRUSH CAPITAL INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Trojan Horse Media Group, LLC was formed on June 20, 2017 (“Inception”) in the State of California. On May 4, 2020, the entity was converted from a limited liability company into a corporation under the name Crush Capital, Inc. in the State of Delaware.   The financial statements of Crush Capital Inc., (which may be referred to as the “Crush Capital”, “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s headquarters are in Los Angeles, CA.

 

Crush Capital’s mission is to combine a full-service offering platform for pre-selected featured issuers with the excitement of a full production series, Going Public, that will follow the stories of entrepreneurs as they take their companies on a capital raising journey that culminates with a Reg A+ IPO, while building an increasing investor base.

 

Management Plans and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

To date, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. Additionally, it requires significant capital to develop, produce and distribute Going Public. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

During the next 12 months, we intend to fund the Company’s operations through revenues from operations and the sale of equity and/or debt securities. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of planned operations, which could harm the business, financial condition and operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1  - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2  - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3  - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Fair-value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to new laws, regulation and compliance. Significant changes to regulations governing the way the Company derives revenues could impact the company negatively. Technological and advancements and updates as well as maintaining compliance standards are required to maintain the Company’s operations.

 

In March 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19 and a significant portion of the U.S. population became subject to “stay at home” or similar social distancing requirements, which had a significant impact on the film industry. Enhanced health and safety measures are in effect in Los Angeles and may be in effect in other areas where we film the show, which may cause our production costs to be higher than they would have been otherwise. While we have complied, and believe we will continue to be able to comply, with any required health and safety measures during the production of the show, we may experience reluctance on the part of issuers and others to participate in filming and other activities while COVID-19 remains a risk.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of a domain name and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested periodically for impairment. Amortization expense was zero for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Offering Costs

The Company accounts for offering costs in accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs are netted against the proceeds of the offering in stockholders’ equity or the related debt, as applicable. Costs related to unsuccessful offerings are expensed.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the Company 1) identifies the contract with the customer 2) identifies the performance obligations in the contract 3) determines the transaction price, 4) determines if an allocation of that transaction price is required to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognizes revenue when or as the companies satisfies a performance obligation. To date, the Company has not recognized any revenue from intended operations.

 

Equity Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based awards under ASC 718 Share-Based Payment. Under ASC 718, equity-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Equity-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Equity units or shares are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date.

  

Income Taxes

On May 4, 2020, the Company converted from a Limited Liability Company (LLC) to a Corporation. As such, beginning on that date the Company is now taxed as a standalone entity. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

F-8

 

 

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and state income taxes were $713,803. The total deferred tax assets were $380,613, for which there was a 100% valuation allowance resulting in a current and deferred income tax provision of zero.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods since Inception. The Company currently does not have any ongoing tax examinations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be credit worthy.  Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-02, “Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials.” The amendments in this ASU align the accounting for production costs of an episodic television series with the accounting for production costs of films. In addition, the ASU modifies certain aspects of the capitalization, impairment, presentation and disclosure requirements under the current film and broadcaster entertainment industry guidance. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been several ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are currently not involved with or know of any pending or threatening litigation against the Company or any of its officers.

 

In November 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Entrepreneur Media, Inc., Irvine, CA., a media and publishing company for exclusive rights to distribute season one of Going Public. The agreement calls for certain milestone payments due by the Company between the signing of the agreement and 90 days post the initial airing of Episode 10 of Season One.

 

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

As described in Note 1, on May 4, 2020 the Company converted from a California limited liability company into to a Delaware corporation and is operating under the name Crush Capital, Inc. As a result of this conversion, the Company authorized 80,000,000 shares of Voting Common Stock, 80,000,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, 20,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Blank Check Preferred Stock, all par value $0.0001 per share. At the time of conversion, the Company’s various membership converted as follows:

 

  1 Class A Common Unit = 5.4658 Voting Common Stock
  1 Class B Common Unit = 5.4658 Non-Voting Common Stock
  1 Preferred Unit = 5.4658 Series A Preferred Stock

 

F-9

 

  

Preferred shares are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid non-voting common shares as is determined by dividing the Preferred share issue price by the conversion price. Preferred shares are mandatorily convertible upon a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common shares of at least $50,000,000 at a price per share of not less than three times the effective conversion price. The conversion price is initially $1.00. No conversions were made as of December 31, 2020. Preferred shares have a liquidation preference over Common shares equal to the original issue price of $0.18296, plus a cumulative preferred return of 2% per annum on the unreturned portion of the original issue price outstanding from time to time. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cumulative undeclared and unpaid preferred return on the Preferred shares was $15,782 and $173, respectively, in aggregate.

 

Fifty percent (50%) of all distributions go to Preferred shareholders until they recoup all invested capital and cumulative preferred returns. There have been no preferred returns distributed through December 31, 2020.

 

Class B Common Units and Non-Voting Common Shares Issued for Services

 

During 2020, the Company issued 25,000 Class B Common Units (which converted to 136,645 non-voting Common shares) and 143,750 non-voting Common shares, in total 280,395 non-voting Common shares, in exchange advisory services for a total equity-based compensation of $51,300. In 2019, the Company issued 72,833 Class B Common Units (which converted to 398,094 non-voting Common shares) for advisory services for a total equity-based compensation expense of $72,833. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company estimated the fair value of these units based on the selling price of the Preferred shares at the time of issuance.

 

Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Stock Issued for Cash

During the period from November 14, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the Company entered into subscription agreements with outside investors resulting in the issuance of 100,000 Preferred Units in exchange for $100,000.

Any combination of cash and units may be elected; however if any unpaid amounts exist as of March 5, 2022, such will be paid in units. The remaining $144,000 may be taken in cash or in a number of shares of the Company’s Non-Voting Common Stock by dividing the award amount by the fair market value, or in options or warrants to purchase common stock, or any combination of such.

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

 

A. COMMON STOCK

 

1. General. The Common Stock shall initially consist of two classes designated as “Voting Common Stock” and “Non-Voting Common Stock”. The Corporation is authorized to issue eighty million (80,000,000) shares of Voting Common Stock, having a par value of $0.0001 per share, and eighty million (80,000,000) shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, having a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Voting Common Stock and the Non-Voting Common Stock shall have identical rights other than with respect to voting rights as set forth herein, and for all other purposes under this Certificate of Incorporation, the Voting Common Stock and the Non-Voting Common Stock shall together constitute a single class of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation.

 

2. Voting Rights.

 

2.1 Voting Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of the Voting Common Stock shall possess exclusively all voting power, and each holder of Voting Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share held by him or her of record on the books of the Corporation for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Voting Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to the General Corporation Law. There shall be no cumulative voting. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.

 

 

 

 

2.2 Non-Voting Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law, shares of Non-Voting Common Stock shall be non-voting and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as any shares of Non-Voting Common Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock or the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at a meeting of the holders of Non-Voting Common Stock duly called for such purpose, amend, alter or repeal (by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise) its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws so as to adversely affect (disproportionately relative to the Voting Common Stock) the preferences, rights or powers of the Non-Voting Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing herein, if at any time there are outstanding no shares of Voting Common Stock, each holder of Non-Voting Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share held by him or her of record on the books of the Corporation for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

 

3. Conversion of Voting Common Stock. The shares of Voting Common Stock shall be convertible into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder. Any such conversion shall be effected by the surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing the Voting Common Stock, together with written notice by the holder of such Voting Common Stock, stating that such holder desires to convert the shares of Voting Common Stock, or a stated number of such shares represented by such certificate or certificates, into an equal number of shares of the Corporation’s Non-Voting Common Stock. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Non-Voting Common Stock are to be issued and shall include instructions for the delivery thereof. The Corporation shall promptly upon receipt of such notice and certificates, issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder’s instructions the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, and the corporation will deliver to the converting holder a certificate representing any Voting Common Stock shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the corporation in connection with such conversion that were not converted. Such conversion, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which such surrendered certificate or certificates shall have been received by the corporation.

 

4. Subdivisions or Combinations. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) or combines (by any reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Voting Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) or combines (by any reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of Voting Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner.

B. SERIES A AND SERIES A-1 PREFERRED STOCK

 

The following rights, powers and privileges, and restrictions, qualifications and limitations, shall apply to the “Series A Preferred Stock” and “Series A-1 Preferred Stock” (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”). Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Part B of this Article Fourth refer to sections and subsections of Part B of this Article Fourth.

 

1. Dividends.

 

1.1 The Corporation shall only declare, pay, or set aside any dividends if fifty percent (50%) of such dividends are paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, pro rata according to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holders, until the Corporation has paid cumulative dividends with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Preferred Return. The remaining fifty percent (50%) of such dividends shall be declared and paid pro rata to the holders of Common Stock according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holders.

 

1.2 “Preferred Return” means an amount equal to the Series A Original Issue Price, plus two percent (2%) per annum of the unreturned portion of the Series A Original Issue Price outstanding, calculated daily from the date each share of Series A Preferred Stock was issued (or if a share was issued upon the conversion of the Corporation from its predecessor entity, then the issue date of the original security) until payment of the Preferred Return. Dividends shall be applied first to the 2% per annum and thereafter to the return of the Series A Original Issue Price.

 

1.3 The “Series A Original Issue Price” shall mean $0.18296 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

1.4 The “Series A-1 Original Issue Price” shall mean $0.4108 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

1.5 After each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock has been paid cumulative dividends equal to its Preferred Return, all dividends shall be declared and paid pro rata on the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock on a pari passu basis according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holders. For this purpose, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is to be treated as holding the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation.

2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

 

2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, and in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event or out of the Available Proceeds (as defined below), as applicable, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Preferred Return then outstanding per share of Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Non-Voting Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series A Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

2.2 Preferential Payments to Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, and in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event or out of the Available Proceeds, as applicable, after payment of the Series A Liquidation Amount and before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Series A-1 Original Issue Price less the amount of all dividends previously received with respect to such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock been converted into Non-Voting Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series A-1 Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.2, the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

2.3 Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment in full of all Series A Liquidation Amounts and Series A-1 Liquidation Amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders or, in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event, the consideration not payable to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 or the remaining Available Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

 

2.4 Deemed Liquidation Events.

 

2.4.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Holders”) elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such event:

 

(a) a merger or consolidation in which (i) the Corporation is a constituent party or (ii) a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or

 

(b) (1) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the business or assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (2) the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

2.4.2 Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.4.1(a)(i) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be paid to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 and 2.3.

 

7

 

 

(b) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.4.1(a)(ii) or 2.4.1(b), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the General Corporation Law within ninety (90) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (i) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Preferred Stock no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause; (ii) to require the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock, and (iii) if the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of a series of Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), together with any other assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the “Available Proceeds”), on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day after such Deemed Liquidation Event, to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Amount and to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series A-1 Liquidation Amount, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, (i) if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders and (ii) if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock after full redemption of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Subsection 2.4.2(b), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business.

 

2.4.3 Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities to be paid or distributed to such holders pursuant to such Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

2.4.4 Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i), if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”), the Merger Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not Additional Consideration (such portion, the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 and 2.3 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 and 2.3 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Subsection 2.4.4, consideration placed into escrow or retained as a holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Additional Consideration.

3. Voting. Except as otherwise required by law, shares of Preferred Stock shall be non-voting and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock duly called for such purpose, do any of the following:

 

3.1 Amend, alter, or repeal (by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise) its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws so as to adversely affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock;

 

3.2 Reduce the authorized number of Series A Preferred Shares;

 

3.3 Until such time as each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock has been paid cumulative dividends equal to its Preferred Return, purchase or redeem any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, other than capital stock repurchased from former employees, directors, consultants, or the like in connection with the cessation of their employment or services.

 

4. Optional Conversion.

 

The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

4.1 Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Non-Voting Common Stock as is determined by dividing, as applicable, the Series A Original Issue Price by the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion, or the Series A-1 Original Issue Price by the Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series A Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.18296. Such initial Series A Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. The “Series A-1 Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.4108. Such initial Series A-1 Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

 

9

 

 

4.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Non-Voting Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Non-Voting Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Non-Voting Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

4.3 Mechanics of Conversion.

 

4.3.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Corporation’s transfer agent at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent and (b), if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent). Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Non-Voting Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Non-Voting Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted.

 

4.3.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when any Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Non-Voting Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Non-Voting Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series A Conversion Price or the Series A-1 Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at such adjusted Series A Conversion Price or Series A-1 Conversion Price, as applicable.

 

10

 

 

4.3.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Non-Voting Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 4.2 and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

4.3.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price or the Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on any Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Non-Voting Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

 

4.3.5 Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

 

4.4 Adjustments to Series A-1 Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

 

4.4.1 Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a) “Option” shall mean rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

(d) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3 below, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Series A-1 Original Issue Date, other than (1) the following shares of Common Stock and (2) shares of Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to the following Options and Convertible Securities (clauses (1) and (2), collectively, “Exempted Securities”):

 

(i)shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock;

(ix)shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by the Board.

 

4.4.2 No Adjustment of Series A-1 Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock agree that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

4.4.3 Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

(a) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A-1 Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

13

 

 

(b) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A-1 Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A-1 Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to the Series A-1 Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A-1 Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series A-1 Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

(c) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series A-1 Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 4.4.5) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A-1 Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series A-1 Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series A-1 Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4.4.3(a) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

(d) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A-1 Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, the Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Series A-1 Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

14

 

 

(e) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Series A-1 Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 4.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Subsection 4.4.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series A-1 Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 4.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series A-1 Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

4.4.4 Adjustment of Series A-1 Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series A-1 Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

CP2        =      CP1       *       (A       +      B)       ÷       (A       +       C).

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a) “CP2” shall mean the Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock

 

(b) “CP1” shall mean the Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

 

(d) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and

 

15

 

 

(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

4.4.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 4.4, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

(a) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

 

(i)insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

(ii)insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and

 

(iii)in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

(b) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

 

(i)the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 

16

 

 

(ii)the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

4.4.6 Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series A-1 Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than 90 days from the first such issuance to the final such issuance, then, upon the final such issuance, the Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

4.5 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation effect a subdivision of any outstanding Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation combine any outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

4.6 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

 

17

 

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of the applicable series of Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock had been converted into Non-Voting Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.7 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Non-Voting Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.8 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 4.5 or 4.6), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Non-Voting Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of the applicable series of Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series A Conversion Price and Series A-1 Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the applicable Preferred Stock.

4.9 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price or Series A-1 Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of applicable Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the applicable Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Series A Conversion Price or Series A-1 Conversion Price, as applicable, then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of the applicable Preferred Stock.

 

4.10 Notice of Record Date. In the event:

 

(a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

(b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or

5. Mandatory Conversion.

 

5.1 Trigger Events. Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of Common Shares to the public in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $50,000,000 of net proceeds to the Corporation at a price per share of not less than three (3) times the then-effective Series A Conversion Price (an “IPO”); or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), then (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Subsection 4.1.1 and (ii) such shares of Preferred Stock may not be reissued by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an IPO in which only Voting Common Shares are registered, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Voting Common Stock, at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Subsection 4.1.1.

 

5.2 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 5.1 will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 5.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates (in the case of certificated shares), or a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares (in the case of uncertificated shares) for the number of full shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay cash as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fractional share of Non-Voting Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

20

 

 

6. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock following redemption.

 

7. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of the Requisite Holders. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

8. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article Fourth to be given to a holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

 

Fifth: Subject to any additional vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

Sixth: Subject to any additional vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation. Each director shall be entitled to one vote on each matter presented to the Board of Directors.

 

Seventh: Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

 

Eighth: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

Ninth: To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Ninth to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

 

21

 

 

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Ninth by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

 

Tenth: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which General Corporation Law permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law.

 

Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Tenth shall not (a) adversely affect any right or protection of any director, officer or other agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification or (b) increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director, officer or agent occurring prior to, such amendment, repeal or modification.

This Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of June 21, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), between Crush Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Computershare”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (collectively with Computershare, the “Warrant Agent”).

 

Statement of Purpose

 

The parties entered into a Warrant Agreement as of August 21, 2020 (the “Original Agreement”). No warrants were issued under the Original Agreement. The parties desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety to reflect revised offering terms of the Company’s offering of securities.

 

The Company has determined to issue and deliver up to 17,480,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to investors, each Warrant evidencing the right of the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for $1.43 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described herein, which Warrants may be issued at multiple closings pursuant to an offering of securities by the Company that has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

 

The Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange, and exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with this Agreement; and

 

The Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants and all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to (i) make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company, as provided herein, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, and to (ii) authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

Agreement

 

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety and agree as follows:

 

1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company with respect to the Warrants in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth hereinafter in this Agreement (and no implied terms and conditions), and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and shall perform the same in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

2. Warrants.

 

2.1 Terms of Warrants. The Warrants shall be issued to holders in registered form only, from time to time, at one or more closings (each, a “Closing”). The Warrants shall not be in certificated form. The Warrants shall be subject to this Agreement and the terms set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Warrant Terms”), the provisions of which are incorporated herein. The Company shall not issue more than 17,480,000 Warrants in the aggregate (subject to adjustment set forth in the Warrant Terms).

 

2.2 Registration.

 

2.2.1 Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain registration books and records (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of the original issuance and transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of each Warrant at its respective Closing, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrant, via book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent, in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent of each Closing, with all required information about the Warrants sold to investors thereat, and no Warrant shall be deemed issued until it is registered by the Warrant Agent on the Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall be fully indemnified and protected in relying upon the written instructions of the Company or its designees with respect to the Closings and the terms of the Warrants.

 

 

 

 

2.2.2 Registered Holder. Prior to presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall treat the person in whose name such Warrant is registered upon the Warrant Register (“Registered Holder”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on any instrument that may have been delivered to the Registered Holder), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

 

3.1 Exercise Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock and at the price set forth therein, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof. The term “Exercise Price” as used in this Agreement refers to the price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.

 

3.2 Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period commencing on the date of issuance and until expiration thereof in accordance with its terms. Each Warrant not exercised on or before its expiration date (as set forth therein) shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on such expiration date. The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent of the occurrence of any event that causes the Warrants to expire, terminate or become void in accordance with the terms therein.

 

3.3 Exercise of Warrants.

 

3.3.1 Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant, may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise, in form attached as Exhibit A to the Statement of Terms (the “Notice of Exercise”) at the office of the Warrant Agent or at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States, by wire transfer or check to the Warrant Agent (subject to any waiting period for clearance and deposit by the Warrant Agent for payment by check), the Exercise Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Common Stock, and the issuance of the Common Stock. In no event shall the Registered Holder of any Warrant be entitled to cashless exercise any Warrant.

 

3.3.2 Issuance of Stock. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of funds in payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3.3.1, the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant the number of full shares of Common Stock to which the Registered Holder is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such Registered Holder and, if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, the Warrant Agent shall reflect the balance of the Warrant as being held by the Registered Holder in the Warrant Register. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In the event an offering statement under the Securities Act, with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not qualified by the SEC or an offering circular is not available, or if such exercise would be unlawful with respect to a Registered Holder under applicable state or federal law, the Registered Holder shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants. The Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with prompt written notice of the occurrence of any of the conditions in the preceding sentence, including if the Common Stock ceases to be qualified under Regulation A of the Securities Act.

 

3.3.3 Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

3.3.4 Date of Issuance. Each person or entity in whose name any such shares of Common Stock are issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Notice of Exercise was delivered and payment of the Exercise Price was made in accordance with Section 3.3.1, except that, if the date of submission of the Notice of Exercise and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next date on which the stock transfer books are open.

3.3.5 Payment; Fees; Funds. The Warrant Agent shall forward funds received for warrant exercises in a given month by the 5th business day of the following month by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent for its services hereunder pursuant to the fee schedule agreed by the parties, within thirty days after receipt of an invoice detailing such charges. The Warrant Agent may invoice the Company no more frequently than monthly. All funds received by Warrant Agent under this Agreement that are to be distributed or applied by Warrant Agent in the performance of services to be provided hereunder (the “Funds”) shall be held by Computershare as agent for the Company and deposited in one or more bank accounts to be maintained by Computershare in its name as agent for the Company. Until paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Computershare will hold the Funds through such accounts in: deposit accounts of commercial banks with Tier 1 capital exceeding $1 billion or with an average rating above investment grade by S&P (LT Local Issuer Credit Rating), Moody’s (Long Term Rating) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (LT Issuer Default Rating) (each as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P.). Computershare shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the Funds that may result from any deposit made by Computershare in accordance with this paragraph, including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party. Computershare may from time to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits. Computershare shall not be obligated to pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the Company, any holder or any other party.

 

3.3.6 Basis. The Warrant Agent shall record the cost basis for newly issued shares as the applicable Exercise Price.

 

3.4 Opinion of Counsel. The Company shall provide an opinion of counsel prior to the Effective Date to set up a reserve of Warrants and related Common Stock, that is acceptable to the Warrant Agent. The opinion shall state that all Warrants or Common Stock, as applicable, are: (i) registered under the Securities Act, or are exempt from such registration, and all appropriate state securities law filings have been made with respect to the Warrants and underlying shares of Common Stock; (ii) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (iii) that shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants because the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants have been qualified under the Regulation A under the Securities Act by the SEC.

 

4. Adjustments.

 

4.1 Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation was based. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under any Section of this Agreement to determine whether an adjustment event has occurred or to calculate any of the adjustments set forth herein, and shall be fully protected in relying on such certificate and on any adjustment or statement contained therein and shall have no duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment or any such event unless and until it shall have received such certificate. Upon the occurrence of any such adjustment, the Company shall give written notice to each Warrant holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

4.2 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made as described in this Section 4 or otherwise, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

 

4.3 Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment described in this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof or adversely affect the rights, responsibilities or immunities of the Warrant Agent, and any Warrant thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in such changed form.

5. Transfer of Warrants.

 

5.1 Registration of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant into the Warrant Register that is made in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. A party requesting transfer of warrants must provide any evidence of authority and other documentation that may be required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association.

Each Registered Holder or its registered assigns in accordance with the terms hereof and the June 21, 2021 Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from Crush Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), shares of the Company’s Non-Voting Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), in the amounts, at such times and at the price per share set forth in Section 1, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement dated as of June 21, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”) between the Company and Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (collectively, the “Warrant Agent”), as may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms therein. The term “Warrant” as used herein means the right to purchase one-half of one Share in accordance with the terms of these Warrant Terms, and as further set forth in one or more Warrant Notices issued as provided herein. Up to 17,480,000 Warrants (subject to any adjustment provided for herein) may be issued as part of an offering of securities by the Company pursuant to Regulation A (the “Regulation A Offering”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an offering circular dated ______, 2021 as supplemented or amended and the Subscription Agreement between the Company and each Holder. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

 

All of the Warrants are issued and maintained in book-entry form by the Warrant Agent, and no physical certificate representing the Warrants shall be delivered to any Holder. This Statement of Terms (the “Warrant Terms”) reflects the terms governing each Warrant.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of each Holder and the conditions to which its Warrants are subject, and to which each Holder, by acceptance of its respective Warrants, agrees:

 

1. Number and Price of Shares; Exercise Period.

 

(a) Warrant Notice. In connection with each sale of Units (as defined in the Regulation A Offering), the Company shall issue to each Holder a number of Warrants equal to the number of Units purchased by such Holder in the Regulation A Offering, by delivery of a Warrant Notice to the Holder in the form of Exhibit A hereto, a copy of which shall also be promptly delivered to the Warrant Agent. Each “Warrant Notice” shall include the name and address of the Holder, the number of Warrants issued to such Holder hereunder, and the issue date of such Warrants.

 

(b) Number of Shares. Subject to any previous exercise of Warrants and any adjustment provided for herein, Holders of Warrants hereunder shall have the right to purchase, collectively, up to a maximum of 8,740,000 Shares.

 

 11 

 

 

(c) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share shall be $1.43, subject to adjustment pursuant hereto (the “Exercise Price”).

 

(d) Exercise Period. Each Holder may exercise the Warrants issued to such Holder under a Warrant Notice hereunder, in whole or in part, after the date of the Closing with respect to such Warrant (the “Warrant Date”) and prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of the Warrant as set forth in Section 8. The Company may terminate these Warrant Terms by written notice to Warrant Agent at any time that no Warrants remain exercisable under any Warrant Notice issued hereunder, after which the Company shall not issue any additional Warrants under the Warrant Agreement or these Warrant Terms.

 

2. Exercise of the Warrant.

 

(a) Exercise. The purchase rights represented by Warrants issued hereunder may be exercised at the election of the Holder, in whole or in part, by:

 

(i) the tender to the Warrant Agent at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Warrant Agent may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit B (the “Notice of Exercise”), properly completed and duly executed by or on behalf of the Holder; and

 

(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the number of Shares being purchased, by wire transfer or check to the Warrant Agent (subject to any waiting period for clearance and deposit by the Warrant Agent for payment by check).

 

(b) Stock Certificates. The rights under any Warrants issued hereunder shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date such Warrants are exercised in accordance with their terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares for that number of Shares issuable upon such exercise.

 

(c) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under any Warrants. In lieu of such fractional Share to which a Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole Share.

 

(d) Reservation of Stock. The Company agrees during the term the rights under the Warrants are exercisable to take all reasonable action to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued shares of Non-Voting Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants such number of shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of the rights under the Warrants; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Non-Voting Common Stock shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with these Warrant Terms, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to any Holder, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock to a number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company represents and warrants that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants will, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

(e) Qualification of Stock. The Company agrees that it shall use its best efforts to maintain the qualification of its offering statement (SEC File No. _______), and a current offering circular relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of these Warrant Terms. In addition, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under state blue sky laws, to the extent an exemption is not available.

3. [Reserved]

 

4. Transfer of Warrants.

 

(a) Warrant Register. Pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of each Holder. Until Warrants issued hereunder are transferred on the Warrant Register in accordance herewith, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat each Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of the Warrants held by such Holder for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder of Warrants may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Warrant Agent requesting a change.

 

(b) Transferability of Warrants. Subject to the provisions of these Warrant Terms with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, including without limitation compliance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement and Section 5 of these Warrant Terms, title to any Warrants issued hereunder may be transferred by endorsement (by the transferor and the transferee executing the assignment form attached as Exhibit C (the “Assignment Form”)) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery. Each Holder must provide any evidence of authority and other documentation that may be required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association. The Warrant Agent may also require an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Warrant Agent that the transfer of the Warrants is being made in accordance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

(c) Exchange of Warrants upon a Transfer. On delivery of a properly endorsed Assignment Form for exchange, subject to the provisions of these Warrant Terms with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, the Warrant Agent shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new Warrant Notice of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants, and the Warrant Agent shall register any such transfer upon the Warrant Register.

 

(d) Taxes. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the making of a book entry in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Warrant Agent shall not be required to make such book entry, unless and until the person or persons requesting the entry thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

5. Compliance with Securities Laws; Market Stand-off. By acceptance of a Warrant Notice hereunder, each Holder agrees to comply with the following:

 

(a) Securities Laws. Except as specifically set forth in the Warrant Agreement (including these Warrant Terms), no Warrants may be transferred or assigned in whole or in part, and any such attempt by any Holder to transfer or assign any rights, duties or obligations that arise under the Warrants shall be void. Any transfer of Warrants or the Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise thereof (the “Securities”) must be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Each Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until such Holder shall have given prior written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to make such disposition.

 

(b) Investment Representation Statement. Unless the rights under the Warrants are exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Shares with respect to which any Warrants were exercised, it shall be a condition to any exercise of the rights under these Warrant Terms that each Holder shall have executed the Investment Representation Statement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1.

 

 13 

 

 

(c) Market Stand-off Legend. In addition to a customary Securities Act legend, each certificate, instrument or book entry representing the Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall also be notated with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE, INCLUDING A LOCK-UP PERIOD IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING, AS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT TERMS PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SHARES WERE ISSUED, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.

 

6. Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of the Warrants pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the number and kind of shares purchasable under any Warrant Notice issued hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:

 

(a) Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of the Warrants under Section 8 hereof) in which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that each Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of any Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of such Warrants would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of these Warrant Terms with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of these Warrant Terms shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of any Warrants issued hereunder.

 

(b) Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of any Warrants are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification, capital reorganization or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a “Reclassification”), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which a Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, such Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise such Warrants for a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of such Holder’s Warrants immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

 

(c) Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under any Warrants immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under any Warrants immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

 

(d) Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 6, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders and the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Exercise Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the rights under any Warrants issued hereunder, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each

 

7. Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the expiration of the Warrants pursuant to Section 8, in the event that the Company shall authorize:

 

(a) the issuance of any dividend or other distribution on the capital stock of the Company (other than (i) dividends or distributions otherwise provided for in Section 6, (ii) repurchases of common stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries; or (iii) repurchases of capital stock of the Company in connection with the settlement of disputes with any stockholder), whether in cash, property, stock or other securities;

(c) any transaction resulting in the expiration of the Warrants pursuant to Section 8(b) or 8(c),

 

the Company shall send to each Holder of Warrants and the Warrant Agent at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for any such dividend or distribution specified in clause (a) or the expected effective date of any such other event specified in clause (b) or (c), as applicable. The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent of the Holder of such Warrants.

 

8. Expiration of the Warrant. Each Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable as of the earlier of:

 

(a) 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Warrant Date;

 

(b) (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation, but excluding any sale of stock for capital raising purposes and any transaction effected primarily for purposes of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation) other than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions retain, immediately after such transaction or series of transactions, as a result of shares in the Company held by such holders prior to such transaction or series of transactions, at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary immediately following such acquisition, its parent), or (ii) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole by means of any transaction or series of related transactions, except where such sale, lease or other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; or

 

(c) Immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act covering the offering and sale of the Company’s common stock.

 

9. No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained herein shall entitle any Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon any Holder, as such, any right to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a stockholder of the Company until the rights under any Warrants shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon exercise thereof shall have become deliverable as provided herein.

 

10. Market Stand-off. By acceptance of Warrants, each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any common stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may notate each such certificate, instrument or book entry with a legend as substantially set forth in Section 5(c) with respect to the shares of common stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day (or other) period. Each Holder agrees to execute a market stand-off agreement with the underwriters in the offering in customary form consistent with the provisions of this section.

(ii) if to the Company, to the attention of the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the Company’s address as shown on the signature page hereto, or at such other current address as the Company shall have furnished to the Warrant Agent and such Holder.

(f) Severability. If any provision of these Warrant Terms becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from these Warrant Terms, and such illegal, unenforceable or void provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, unenforceable or void provision.

COMPANY: CRUSH CAPITAL, INC.    
       
SECURITIES: THE WARRANTS ISSUED ON [INSERT DATE] (THE “WARRANTS”) AND THE SECURITIES ISSUED OR ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE THEREOF
       
DATE:      

 

In connection with the purchase or acquisition of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:

 

1. No Registration. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

 

2. Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is no ready public market for the Securities and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will ever exist. The undersigned must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely and the Company has no obligation to list the Securities on any market or take any steps (including registration under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to facilitating trading or resale of the Securities. The Investor acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risk of losing the undersigned’s entire investment in the Securities. The Investor also understands that an investment in the Company involves significant risks and has taken full cognizance of and understands all of the risk factors relating to the purchase of Securities.

 

3. Accredited Investor Status or Investment Limits. The Investor represents that either:

 

(i) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act; or

 

(ii) The purchase price, together with any other amounts previously used to purchase Securities in this offering, does not exceed 10% of the greater of the Investor’s annual income or net worth (or in the case where it is a non-natural person, their revenue or net assets for its most recently completed fiscal year end).

 

4. Company Information. The Investor understands that the Company is subject to all the risks that apply to early-stage companies, whether or not those risks are explicitly set out in the Offering Circular. Investor has had such opportunity as it deems necessary (which opportunity may have presented through online chat or commentary functions) to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with managers, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities. The Investor has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment. The Investor acknowledges that except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to Investor, or to Investor’s advisors or representative, by the Company or others with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition.

 

5. Domicile. The Investor maintains Investor’s domicile (and is not a transient or temporary resident) at the address shown on the signature page hereto.

 

 

 

 

6. No Brokerage Fees. There are no claims for brokerage commission, finders’ fees or similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Warrants or related documents based on any arrangement or agreement binding upon the Investor.

 

7. Market Stand-off. The Investor agrees that the Investor shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any common stock (or other securities) of the Company held by the Investor (other than those included in the registration) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may notate each such certificate, instrument or book entry with a legend with respect to the shares of common stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day (or other) period. The Investor agrees to execute a market stand-off agreement with the relevant underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this section.

EX1A-2A CHARTER 5 ea143078ex2-8_crushcapital.htm IRREVOCABLE POWERS OF ATTORNEY

Exhibit 2.8

 

IRREVOCABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

WHEREAS:

 

The undersigned stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) of Crush Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) wishes to offer shares of Non-Voting Common Stock of the Company (“Shares”) for sale pursuant to the Offering pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder will seek to sell up to 1,746,725 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) (the “Offered Shares”);

  

The Selling Stockholder understands that the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an Offering Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the offering (the “Offering”) of shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock by the Company and the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder has elected to sell the Offered Shares in the Offering if the Offering is completed. Accordingly, the Offering will be qualified under the Securities Act, covering the Offered Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholder.

 

The Company may undertake one or more closings (“Closings”) in respect of the Offering on an ongoing basis. At each Closing, 70% of the shares sold to investors (“Investors”) in the Offering will be newly issued shares sold by the Company, 15% will be shares sold by Selling Stockholder, and 15% will be shares sold by the other selling stockholder, until all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholder and the other selling stockholder have been sold. After each Closing, funds tendered by Investors will be available to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, in each case, subject to reduction for commissions and any holdback provided in the Master Services Agreement between the Company and Issuance Inc. related to the Offering.

 

The Selling Stockholder, by executing and delivering this Irrevocable Power of Attorney (this “Agreement”), confirms the Selling Stockholder’s willingness and intent to sell the Offered Shares in the Offering as provided herein.

 

The Selling Stockholder hereby acknowledges receipt in electronic format of (i) a form of the subscription agreement to be executed by Investors and the Company, and (ii) the Offering Statement as originally filed and all amendments thereto, including a copy of the Preliminary Offering Circular to be used in connection with the Offering. The Selling Stockholder understands that the subscription agreement is subject to revision before execution, with such changes as the Attorney-in-Fact deems appropriate (including with respect to the Securities Act).

 

NOW THEREFORE to induce the Company to enter into the subscription agreement and to secure its performance, the Selling Stockholder agrees as follows:

 

  1. Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact; Grant of Authority. For purposes of effecting the sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to the Offering, the Selling Stockholder irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Todd Goldberg the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the Selling Stockholder (the “Attorney-in-Fact”), with full power and authority, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, to act hereunder, or through a duly appointed successor attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Attorney-in-Fact shall have full power to make and substitute any executive officer or director of the Company in the place and stead of such Attorney-in-Fact (or, in the event of the death, disability or incapacity of the Attorney-in-Fact, the Company may appoint a substitute therefor), and the Selling Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Attorney-in-Fact or successor attorney-in-fact shall do pursuant to this Agreement), in his or their sole discretion, all as hereinafter provided, in the name of and for and on behalf of the Selling Stockholder, as fully as could the Selling Stockholder if present and acting in person, with respect to the following matters in connection with and necessary and incident to the qualification and sale of the Selling Stockholder’s Offered Shares in the Offering:

 

  a. to authorize and direct the Company, the Company’s Escrow Agent (“Escrow Agent”), Prime Trust LLC, and the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”), Computershare Inc., and any other person or entity to take any and all actions as may be necessary or deemed to be advisable by the Attorney-in-Fact to effect the sale, transfer and disposition of any or all of the Selling Stockholder’s Offered Shares in the Offering as the Attorney-in-Fact or any of them may, in their sole discretion, determine, including to direct the Escrow Agent or Transfer Agent with respect to:

 

  i. the transfer on the stock record books of the Company of the Offered Shares in order to effect such sale (including the names in which the Offered Shares are to be issued and the denominations thereof);

 

 

 

 

  ii. the delivery of the Offered Shares to Investors with, if necessary, appropriate stock powers or other instruments of transfer duly endorsed or in blank against receipt by the Company of the purchase price to be paid therefor;
     
  iii. the payment by the Company (which payment may be made out of the proceeds of any sale of the Offered Shares) of the expenses, if any, to be borne by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Offering, and such other costs and expenses as are agreed upon by such Attorney-in-Fact to be borne by the Selling Stockholder (any expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be apportioned among the Selling Stockholder and the Company on the basis of the respective number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be sold by them pursuant to the Offering); and
     
  iv. the remittance to the Selling Stockholder of the balance of the proceeds from any sale of the Offered Shares.

 

  b. to prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents (the “Offering Documents”) on behalf of the Selling Stockholder with respect to the Offering, with such insertions, changes, additions or deletions therein as the Attorney-in-Fact, in his or her sole discretion, may determine to be necessary or appropriate (which may include a decrease, but not an increase, in the number of Offered Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholder), and containing such terms as such Attorney-in-Fact shall determine, including the price per share, the purchase price per share to be paid by Investors, and provisions concerning the Offering, the execution and delivery of such documents by the Attorney-in-Fact to be conclusive evidence with respect to his or her approval thereof, including the making of all representations and agreements to be made by, and the exercise of all authority thereunder vested in, the Selling Stockholder, and to carry out and comply with each and all of the provisions of the Offering Documents;

 

  c. to take any and all actions that may be necessary or deemed to be advisable by the Attorney-in-Fact with respect to the Offering, including, without limitation, approval of amendments to the Offering Statement or any preliminary offering circular, the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of any certificates, documents, undertakings, representations, agreements and consents, which may be required by the Commission, appropriate authorities of states or other jurisdictions or legal counsel or such certificates, documents, undertakings, representations, agreements and consents as may otherwise be necessary or appropriate in connection with the qualification of the Shares of the Company under the Securities Act or the securities or blue sky laws of the various states or necessary to facilitate sales of the Offered Shares;

 

  d. to take or cause to be taken any and all further actions, and to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, any and all such certificates, instruments, reports, contracts, orders, receipts, notices, requests, applications, consents, undertakings, powers of attorney, instructions, certificates, letters and other writings, including communications to the Commission, documents, stock certificates and share powers and other instruments of transfer and closing as may be required to complete the Offering or as may otherwise be necessary or deemed to be advisable or desirable by the Attorney-in-Fact in connection therewith, with such changes or amendments thereto as the Attorney-in-Fact may, in his or her sole discretion, approve (such approval to be evidenced by their signature thereof), as may be necessary or deemed to be advisable or desirable by the Attorney-in-Fact to effectuate, implement and otherwise carry out the transactions contemplated by Offering and this Agreement, or as may be necessary or deemed to be advisable or desirable by the Attorney-in-Fact in connection with the qualification of the Shares of the Company, pursuant to the Securities Act or the securities or blue sky laws of the various states, the sale of the Shares to the Investors or the public offering thereof; and

  

  e. if necessary, to endorse (in blank or otherwise) on behalf of the Selling Stockholder any certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares that may be issued or a stock power or powers attached to such certificate or certificates.

 

2

 

 

The execution of this Agreement shall not in any manner revoke, in whole or in part, any power of attorney that the Selling Stockholder has previously executed.

 

  2. Sole Authority of Attorney-in-Fact and the Company. The Selling Stockholder agrees that the Attorney-in-Fact has the sole authority to agree with the Company (including any pricing or similar committee established by the Board of Directors of the Company) upon the price at which the Shares will be sold to the public under the Offering Statement. The Selling Stockholder further agrees that the Company may withdraw the Offering Statement and terminate the Offering in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever or for no reason, without any liability to the Selling Stockholder.

 

  3. Irrevocability. The Selling Stockholder has conferred and granted the power of attorney and all other authority contained herein for the purpose of completing the Offering and in consideration of the actions of the Company in connection therewith. Therefore, the Selling Stockholder hereby agrees that all power and authority hereby conferred is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, shall not be terminated by any act of the Selling Stockholder or by operation of law or by the occurrence of any event whatsoever, including, without limitation, the death, disability, incapacity, revocation, termination, liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, dissolution of marital relationship or insolvency of the Selling Stockholder (or if more than one, either or any of them) or any similar event (including, without limiting the foregoing, the termination of any trust or estate for which the Selling Stockholder is acting as a fiduciary or fiduciaries, the death or incapacity of one or more trustees, guardians, executors or administrators under such trust or estate, or the dissolution or liquidation of any corporation, partnership or other entity). If, after the execution of this Agreement, any such event shall occur before the completion of the transactions contemplated by the subscription agreement and/or this Agreement, the Attorney-in-Fact and the Transfer Agent and Escrow Agent are nevertheless authorized and directed to complete all of such transactions, including the delivery of the Selling Stockholder’s Shares to be sold to Investors, as if such event had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof.

 

  4. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. The Selling Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company that the following representations and warranties are true and complete in all material respects as of the date of qualification of the Offering Statement by the Commission, and as of each Closing in which the Selling Stockholder participates, except as otherwise indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, an individual shall be deemed to have “knowledge” of a particular fact or other matter if such individual is actually aware of such fact. An entity will be deemed to have “knowledge” of a particular fact or other matter if one of such entity’s current officers, directors, managing member or any officer or director thereof, general partner or any officer or director thereof, or similar person of authority with respect to such Selling Stockholder has, or at any time had, actual knowledge of such fact or other matter:

  

  a. Authorization of Agreement. Selling Stockholder has all necessary power and authority, under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of Selling Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (ii) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained herein may be limited by federal or state securities laws.

 

3

 

 

  b. Title to the Shares. Upon taking all actions necessary, if any, as contemplated in this Agreement, Selling Stockholder is the lawful owner of the Offered Shares, with good and marketable title thereto, and the Selling Stockholder has the absolute right to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Offered Shares and any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership thereof, all of which rights and benefits are transferable by the Selling Stockholder to Investors, free and clear of all the following (collectively called “Claims”) of any nature whatsoever: security interests, liens, pledges, claims (pending or threatened), charges, escrows, encumbrances, lock-up arrangements, options, rights of first offer or refusal, community property rights, mortgages, indentures, security agreements or other agreements, arrangements, contracts, commitments, understandings or obligations, whether written or oral and whether or not relating in any way to credit or the borrowing of money. Delivery to Investors of such Offered Shares, upon payment therefor, will (i) pass good and marketable title to such Offered Shares to the relevant Investor(s), free and clear of all Claims, and (ii) convey, free and clear of all Claims, any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership of such Offered Shares.

 

  c. No Filings. No order, license, consent, authorization or approval of, or exemption by, or action by or in respect of, or notice to, or filing or registration with, any governmental body, agency or official is required by or with respect to the Selling Stockholder in connection with the acceptance, delivery and performance by the Selling Stockholder of this Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Offered Shares of such Selling Stockholder being sold in the Offering, except (i) for such filings as may be required under Regulation A of the Securities Act, or under any applicable state securities laws, (ii) for such other filings and approvals as have been made or obtained, or (iii) where the failure to obtain any such order, license, consent, authorization, approval or exemption or give any such notice or make any filing or registration would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Selling Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

  d. No Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending, or to the knowledge of the Selling Stockholder, threatened against the Selling Stockholder which could reasonably be expected in any manner to challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

  

  e. Non-Public Information. Selling Stockholder is not selling its Shares “on the basis of” (as defined in Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act) any material, non-public information about the Offered Shares or the Company.

 

  f. Spousal Consent. The Selling Stockholder has caused his or her spouse to join in and consent to the terms of this Agreement by executing the Consent of Spouse in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Consent of Spouse is incorporated by reference herein.

 

  g. Subsequent POA. Any subsequent power of attorney executed by the Selling Stockholder will expressly provide that the execution of such power of attorney will not revoke this Agreement.

 

The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements are for the benefit of and may be relied upon by the Attorney-in-Fact, the Company, the Transfer Agent, the Escrow Agent and their respective legal counsel.

 

  5. Release. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Selling Stockholder hereby agrees to release and does release the Attorney-in-Fact and the Escrow Agent and Transfer Agent from any and all liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject insofar as such liabilities (or action in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any action taken or omitted to be taken, including but not limited to not proceeding with the Offering for any reason whatsoever, by the Attorney-in- Fact, the Escrow Agent or the Transfer Agent pursuant hereto, except for their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

  6. Waiver. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that, by accepting payment for the Offered Shares purchased by Investors (the “Purchased Shares”) the Selling Stockholder forever releases and discharges the Company and its heirs, successors and assigns from any and all claims whatsoever that the Selling Stockholder now has, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to the Purchased Shares.

 

4

 

 

  7. Indemnification.

 

  a. The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Attorney-in-Fact, the Escrow Agent, and the Transfer Agent and their respective officers, agents, successors, assigns and personal representatives with respect to any act or omission of or by any of them in good faith in connection with any and all matters contemplated by this Agreement.

  

  b. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

  8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

 

  a. the date, if any, on which the Offering Statement is withdrawn from the Commission; and

 

  b. the date on which the final Closing (to be determined in sole discretion of the Company) in respect of the Offering in which Offered Shares are to be sold is consummated and the proceeds have been distributed to the Selling Stockholder, whether or not all the Offered Shares owned by the Selling Stockholder are sold in the Offering, subject, however, to all lawful action done or performed by the Attorney-in-Fact or the Escrow Agent or Transfer Agent pursuant hereto prior to the termination of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding any such termination, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Selling Stockholder contained herein and the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof shall survive the sale and delivery of the Offered Shares and the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Following any termination of this Agreement, the Attorney-in-Fact, the Escrow Agent and the Transfer Agent shall have no further responsibilities or liabilities to the Selling Stockholder hereunder except to redeliver to the Selling Stockholder its Offered Shares not sold in the Offering and to distribute to the Selling Stockholder its portion of the net proceeds of the Offering, if any.

  

  9. Notices. Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed given if in writing and delivered in person, or if given by telephone or telegraph if subsequently confirmed by letter:

  11. Binding Effect. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death, disability or incapacity of the Selling Stockholder, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Attorney-in-Fact, the Selling Stockholder and the Selling Stockholder’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

The undersigned stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) of Crush Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) wishes to offer shares of Non-Voting Common Stock of the Company (“Shares”) for sale pursuant to the Offering pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder will seek to sell up to 1,746,725 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) (the “Offered Shares”);

  

The Selling Stockholder understands that the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an Offering Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the offering (the “Offering”) of shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock by the Company and the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder has elected to sell the Offered Shares in the Offering if the Offering is completed. Accordingly, the Offering will be qualified under the Securities Act, covering the Offered Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholder.

 

The Company may undertake one or more closings (“Closings”) in respect of the Offering on an ongoing basis. At each Closing, 70% of the shares sold to investors (“Investors”) in the Offering will be newly issued shares sold by the Company, 15% will be shares sold by Selling Stockholder, and 15% will be shares sold by the other selling stockholder, until all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholder and the other selling stockholder have been sold. After each Closing, funds tendered by Investors will be available to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, in each case, subject to reduction for commissions and any holdback provided in the Master Services Agreement between the Company and Issuance Inc. related to the Offering.

 

The Selling Stockholder, by executing and delivering this Irrevocable Power of Attorney (this “Agreement”), confirms the Selling Stockholder’s willingness and intent to sell the Offered Shares in the Offering as provided herein.

 

The Selling Stockholder hereby acknowledges receipt in electronic format of (i) a form of the subscription agreement to be executed by Investors and the Company, and (ii) the Offering Statement as originally filed and all amendments thereto, including a copy of the Preliminary Offering Circular to be used in connection with the Offering. The Selling Stockholder understands that the subscription agreement is subject to revision before execution, with such changes as the Attorney-in-Fact deems appropriate (including with respect to the Securities Act).

 

NOW THEREFORE to induce the Company to enter into the subscription agreement and to secure its performance, the Selling Stockholder agrees as follows:

 

  1. Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact; Grant of Authority. For purposes of effecting the sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to the Offering, the Selling Stockholder irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Darren Marble the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the Selling Stockholder (the “Attorney-in-Fact”), with full power and authority, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, to act hereunder, or through a duly appointed successor attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Attorney-in-Fact shall have full power to make and substitute any executive officer or director of the Company in the place and stead of such Attorney-in-Fact (or, in the event of the death, disability or incapacity of the Attorney-in-Fact, the Company may appoint a substitute therefor), and the Selling Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Attorney-in-Fact or successor attorney-in-fact shall do pursuant to this Agreement), in his or their sole discretion, all as hereinafter provided, in the name of and for and on behalf of the Selling Stockholder, as fully as could the Selling Stockholder if present and acting in person, with respect to the following matters in connection with and necessary and incident to the qualification and sale of the Selling Stockholder’s Offered Shares in the Offering:

 

  a. to authorize and direct the Company, the Company’s Escrow Agent (“Escrow Agent”), Prime Trust LLC, and the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”), Computershare Inc., and any other person or entity to take any and all actions as may be necessary or deemed to be advisable by the Attorney-in-Fact to effect the sale, transfer and disposition of any or all of the Selling Stockholder’s Offered Shares in the Offering as the Attorney-in-Fact or any of them may, in their sole discretion, determine, including to direct the Escrow Agent or Transfer Agent with respect to:

 

  i. the transfer on the stock record books of the Company of the Offered Shares in order to effect such sale (including the names in which the Offered Shares are to be issued and the denominations thereof);

 

9

 

 

  ii. the delivery of the Offered Shares to Investors with, if necessary, appropriate stock powers or other instruments of transfer duly endorsed or in blank against receipt by the Company of the purchase price to be paid therefor;
     
  iii. the payment by the Company (which payment may be made out of the proceeds of any sale of the Offered Shares) of the expenses, if any, to be borne by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Offering, and such other costs and expenses as are agreed upon by such Attorney-in-Fact to be borne by the Selling Stockholder (any expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be apportioned among the Selling Stockholder and the Company on the basis of the respective number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to be sold by them pursuant to the Offering); and
     
  iv. the remittance to the Selling Stockholder of the balance of the proceeds from any sale of the Offered Shares.

 

  b. to prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents (the “Offering Documents”) on behalf of the Selling Stockholder with respect to the Offering, with such insertions, changes, additions or deletions therein as the Attorney-in-Fact, in his or her sole discretion, may determine to be necessary or appropriate (which may include a decrease, but not an increase, in the number of Offered Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholder), and containing such terms as such Attorney-in-Fact shall determine, including the price per share, the purchase price per share to be paid by Investors, and provisions concerning the Offering, the execution and delivery of such documents by the Attorney-in-Fact to be conclusive evidence with respect to his or her approval thereof, including the making of all representations and agreements to be made by, and the exercise of all authority thereunder vested in, the Selling Stockholder, and to carry out and comply with each and all of the provisions of the Offering Documents;

 

  c. to take any and all actions that may be necessary or deemed to be advisable by the Attorney-in-Fact with respect to the Offering, including, without limitation, approval of amendments to the Offering Statement or any preliminary offering circular, the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of any certificates, documents, undertakings, representations, agreements and consents, which may be required by the Commission, appropriate authorities of states or other jurisdictions or legal counsel or such certificates, documents, undertakings, representations, agreements and consents as may otherwise be necessary or appropriate in connection with the qualification of the Shares of the Company under the Securities Act or the securities or blue sky laws of the various states or necessary to facilitate sales of the Offered Shares;

 

  d. to take or cause to be taken any and all further actions, and to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, any and all such certificates, instruments, reports, contracts, orders, receipts, notices, requests, applications, consents, undertakings, powers of attorney, instructions, certificates, letters and other writings, including communications to the Commission, documents, stock certificates and share powers and other instruments of transfer and closing as may be required to complete the Offering or as may otherwise be necessary or deemed to be advisable or desirable by the Attorney-in-Fact in connection therewith, with such changes or amendments thereto as the Attorney-in-Fact may, in his or her sole discretion, approve (such approval to be evidenced by their signature thereof), as may be necessary or deemed to be advisable or desirable by the Attorney-in-Fact to effectuate, implement and otherwise carry out the transactions contemplated by Offering and this Agreement, or as may be necessary or deemed to be advisable or desirable by the Attorney-in-Fact in connection with the qualification of the Shares of the Company, pursuant to the Securities Act or the securities or blue sky laws of the various states, the sale of the Shares to the Investors or the public offering thereof; and

  

  e. if necessary, to endorse (in blank or otherwise) on behalf of the Selling Stockholder any certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares that may be issued or a stock power or powers attached to such certificate or certificates.

 

10

 

 

The execution of this Agreement shall not in any manner revoke, in whole or in part, any power of attorney that the Selling Stockholder has previously executed.

 

  2. Sole Authority of Attorney-in-Fact and the Company. The Selling Stockholder agrees that the Attorney-in-Fact has the sole authority to agree with the Company (including any pricing or similar committee established by the Board of Directors of the Company) upon the price at which the Shares will be sold to the public under the Offering Statement. The Selling Stockholder further agrees that the Company may withdraw the Offering Statement and terminate the Offering in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever or for no reason, without any liability to the Selling Stockholder.

 

  3. Irrevocability. The Selling Stockholder has conferred and granted the power of attorney and all other authority contained herein for the purpose of completing the Offering and in consideration of the actions of the Company in connection therewith. Therefore, the Selling Stockholder hereby agrees that all power and authority hereby conferred is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, shall not be terminated by any act of the Selling Stockholder or by operation of law or by the occurrence of any event whatsoever, including, without limitation, the death, disability, incapacity, revocation, termination, liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, dissolution of marital relationship or insolvency of the Selling Stockholder (or if more than one, either or any of them) or any similar event (including, without limiting the foregoing, the termination of any trust or estate for which the Selling Stockholder is acting as a fiduciary or fiduciaries, the death or incapacity of one or more trustees, guardians, executors or administrators under such trust or estate, or the dissolution or liquidation of any corporation, partnership or other entity). If, after the execution of this Agreement, any such event shall occur before the completion of the transactions contemplated by the subscription agreement and/or this Agreement, the Attorney-in-Fact and the Transfer Agent and Escrow Agent are nevertheless authorized and directed to complete all of such transactions, including the delivery of the Selling Stockholder’s Shares to be sold to Investors, as if such event had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof.

 

  4. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. The Selling Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company that the following representations and warranties are true and complete in all material respects as of the date of qualification of the Offering Statement by the Commission, and as of each Closing in which the Selling Stockholder participates, except as otherwise indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, an individual shall be deemed to have “knowledge” of a particular fact or other matter if such individual is actually aware of such fact. An entity will be deemed to have “knowledge” of a particular fact or other matter if one of such entity’s current officers, directors, managing member or any officer or director thereof, general partner or any officer or director thereof, or similar person of authority with respect to such Selling Stockholder has, or at any time had, actual knowledge of such fact or other matter:

Upon taking all actions necessary, if any, as contemplated in this Agreement, Selling Stockholder is the lawful owner of the Offered Shares, with good and marketable title thereto, and the Selling Stockholder has the absolute right to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Offered Shares and any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership thereof, all of which rights and benefits are transferable by the Selling Stockholder to Investors, free and clear of all the following (collectively called “Claims”) of any nature whatsoever: security interests, liens, pledges, claims (pending or threatened), charges, escrows, encumbrances, lock-up arrangements, options, rights of first offer or refusal, community property rights, mortgages, indentures, security agreements or other agreements, arrangements, contracts, commitments, understandings or obligations, whether written or oral and whether or not relating in any way to credit or the borrowing of money. Delivery to Investors of such Offered Shares, upon payment therefor, will (i) pass good and marketable title to such Offered Shares to the relevant Investor(s), free and clear of all Claims, and (ii) convey, free and clear of all Claims, any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership of such Offered Shares.

 

  c. No Filings. No order, license, consent, authorization or approval of, or exemption by, or action by or in respect of, or notice to, or filing or registration with, any governmental body, agency or official is required by or with respect to the Selling Stockholder in connection with the acceptance, delivery and performance by the Selling Stockholder of this Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Offered Shares of such Selling Stockholder being sold in the Offering, except (i) for such filings as may be required under Regulation A of the Securities Act, or under any applicable state securities laws, (ii) for such other filings and approvals as have been made or obtained, or (iii) where the failure to obtain any such order, license, consent, authorization, approval or exemption or give any such notice or make any filing or registration would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Selling Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

  d. No Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending, or to the knowledge of the Selling Stockholder, threatened against the Selling Stockholder which could reasonably be expected in any manner to challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

  

  e. Non-Public Information. Selling Stockholder is not selling its Shares “on the basis of” (as defined in Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act) any material, non-public information about the Offered Shares or the Company.

 

  f. Spousal Consent. The Selling Stockholder has caused his or her spouse to join in and consent to the terms of this Agreement by executing the Consent of Spouse in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Consent of Spouse is incorporated by reference herein.

 

  g. Subsequent POA. Any subsequent power of attorney executed by the Selling Stockholder will expressly provide that the execution of such power of attorney will not revoke this Agreement.

 

The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements are for the benefit of and may be relied upon by the Attorney-in-Fact, the Company, the Transfer Agent, the Escrow Agent and their respective legal counsel.

 

  5. Release. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Selling Stockholder hereby agrees to release and does release the Attorney-in-Fact and the Escrow Agent and Transfer Agent from any and all liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject insofar as such liabilities (or action in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any action taken or omitted to be taken, including but not limited to not proceeding with the Offering for any reason whatsoever, by the Attorney-in- Fact, the Escrow Agent or the Transfer Agent pursuant hereto, except for their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

  6. Waiver. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that, by accepting payment for the Offered Shares purchased by Investors (the “Purchased Shares”) the Selling Stockholder forever releases and discharges the Company and its heirs, successors and assigns from any and all claims whatsoever that the Selling Stockholder now has, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to the Purchased Shares.

 

12

 

 

  7. Indemnification.

 

  a. The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Attorney-in-Fact, the Escrow Agent, and the Transfer Agent and their respective officers, agents, successors, assigns and personal representatives with respect to any act or omission of or by any of them in good faith in connection with any and all matters contemplated by this Agreement.

  

  b. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

  8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

 

  a. the date, if any, on which the Offering Statement is withdrawn from the Commission; and

 

  b. the date on which the final Closing (to be determined in sole discretion of the Company) in respect of the Offering in which Offered Shares are to be sold is consummated and the proceeds have been distributed to the Selling Stockholder, whether or not all the Offered Shares owned by the Selling Stockholder are sold in the Offering, subject, however, to all lawful action done or performed by the Attorney-in-Fact or the Escrow Agent or Transfer Agent pursuant hereto prior to the termination of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding any such termination, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Selling Stockholder contained herein and the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof shall survive the sale and delivery of the Offered Shares and the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Following any termination of this Agreement, the Attorney-in-Fact, the Escrow Agent and the Transfer Agent shall have no further responsibilities or liabilities to the Selling Stockholder hereunder except to redeliver to the Selling Stockholder its Offered Shares not sold in the Offering and to distribute to the Selling Stockholder its portion of the net proceeds of the Offering, if any.

  

13

 

 

  9. Notices. Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed given if in writing and delivered in person, or if given by telephone or telegraph if subsequently confirmed by letter:

2.  Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

 

2.1  Demand Registration.

 

(a)  Form S-1 Demand. If at any time after the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement for an IPO, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to at least forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (or a lesser percent if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, would exceed $15 million), then the Company shall (x) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders who are party to this Agreement other than the Initiating Holders; and (y) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

 

(b)  Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $5 million, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders who are party to this Agreement other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders who are party to this Agreement requesting a registration pursuant to this Subsection 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period other than pursuant to a registration relating to the sale or grant of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, equity incentive or similar plan; a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities; or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered.

 

(d)  The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Subsection 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d); provided, that if such withdrawal is during a period the Company has deferred taking action pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), then the Initiating Holders may withdraw their request for registration and such registration will not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d).

 

4

 

2.2  Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder who are party to this Agreement notice of such registration. Upon the request of each such Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6.

 

2.3  Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)  If, pursuant to Subsection 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Subsection 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsection 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

(b)  In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the provision in this Subsection 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

 

(c)  For purposes of Subsection 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Subsection 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

 

2.4  Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)  prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to ninety (90) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

 

6

 

(b)  prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

 

(c)  furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

 

(d)  use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

 

(e)  in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

 

(f)  use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(g)  provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

 

(h)  promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

 

7

 

(i)  notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

 

(j)  after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

 

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.5  Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

 

2.6  Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Subsection 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1(a) or 2.1(b), as the case may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1(a) or 2.1(b). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

 

2.7  Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

 

8

  

2.8  Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

 

(a)  To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

 

(b)  To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Subsections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

 

(c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Subsection 2.8.

 

9

 

(d)  To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Subsection 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Subsection 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Subsection 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Subsection 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

 

(e)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

(f)  Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Subsection 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

10

 

2.9  Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

 

(a)  make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO;

 

(b)  use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

 

(c)  furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

 

2.10  “Market Stand-off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company for its own behalf of shares of its Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of the IPO, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock (held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 2.10 shall apply only to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, or the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than three percent (3%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Preferred Stock). The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Subsection 2.10 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Subsection 2.10 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

 

11

 

2.11  Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)  The Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement.

 

(b)  Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing (i) the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, (ii) the Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Subsection 2.11(c)) be notated with a legend substantially in the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

 

12

 

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Subsection 2.11.

 

(c)  The holder of such Restricted Securities, by acceptance of ownership thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Subsection 2.11. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Subsection 2.11(b), except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

 

2.12  Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1 or 2.2 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

Exhibit 6.1

 

MASTER PRODUCTION SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

THIS MASTER PRODUCTION SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is effective as of August 7, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between INE Entertainment, LLC a California limited liability company, with offices located at 13949 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423, eric@ineentertainment.com (“Production Partner”) and Crush Capital Inc. a Delaware corporation, with offices located at Spring Place, 9800 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90212, todd@goingpublic.com (“Company”). During the Term (as defined below), separate statements of work (each an “SOW”) for each project to be covered by this Agreement (each, a “Project”) shall be approved and executed by the parties utilizing the form of SOW attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each of Company and Production Partner is herein referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

 

WHEREAS, Company desires to engage Production Partner for the production of one or more Projects, and Production Partner desires to furnish services related thereto to Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein and as supplemented and/or revised in each mutually approved and fully executed SOW.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Production Services:

 

(a) Company hereby engages Production Partner to render production services in connection with one or more Projects, each as set forth on a separate SOW.

 

(b) The Production Partner will render all services reasonably required by Company consistent with the applicable SOW, including all reasonable and customary services of a first-class media production company.

 

(c) The production schedule, budget and delivery requirements for each Project shall be prepared by Production Partner in consultation with Company and provided to Company by Production Partner, and shall be set forth in the SOW and mutually approved by the Parties in each instance prior to commencement of each applicable Project. Production Partner will produce each Project on behalf of Company and render all services related thereto, in accordance with this Agreement and the SOW, including the engagement of all personnel, equipment and third-party services, and deliver each Project to the specifications of Company consistent with the applicable SOW. In accordance with (and without limiting) the foregoing, and as necessary and applicable for each Project, Production Partner will be responsible for securing a payroll company, coordinating and managing production meetings (provided Production Partner shall invite Company to all key creative meetings), providing creative consultation to Company, engaging and overseeing all staff and crew, procuring necessary facilities, equipment, and materials relating to each Project, obtaining all required clearances, consents, licenses, permits, and permissions of every kind and nature as necessary to produce each Project, taking out required insurance policies (subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, including Section 6 below), providing all pre-production, production and post-production services required consistent with the applicable SOW.

 

(d) All contracts or undertakings by Production Partner in furtherance of the Project shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, by using good faith efforts to ensure that none of such contracts or undertakings will, without Company’s prior written consent, cause the Project to be covered by any union, guild, or collective bargaining agreement. Such contracts and undertakings shall not be terminated, canceled, modified or rescinded in any manner which would or might prejudice the rights of Company hereunder. All such contracts which are entered into by Production Partner solely with respect to the Project shall be assignable to the Company without restriction and in the event of an assignment Company shall assume in writing all of Production Partner’s obligations which arise under the applicable contract from and after the date of such assignment. Production Partner shall have all responsibilities of an employer with respect to those personnel engaged by Production Partner, including those arising under any present or future legal requirements relating to workers’ compensation, insurance, social security, tax withholding, pension, health and welfare plans under any legal requirements or any applicable collective bargaining agreement, including foreign country equivalents of the foregoing, if any.

(e) Production Partner shall deliver to Company the content underlying the Project (the “Project Content”) fully cleared for distribution, use and/or other exploitation in any and all media throughout the universe in perpetuity unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Production Partner and Company (e.g. with respect to music clearances and/or third party materials licenses), and in that regard, Production Partner shall obtain and pay for any and all agreements, waivers, consents, clearances or licenses relating to the same (collectively “Clearances”), and deliver all such Clearances to Company (such event, “Delivery”).

 

(f) Production Partner’s services will be non-exclusive, no material interference basis at all times during pre-production, production and post-production of all Projects. Time is of the essence as it relates to Production Partner’s services, including but not limited to time of Delivery provided that any delays in production and/or delivery caused by Company (including, without limitation, in connection with Company’s control of creative and/or business decisions and/or in connection with Company’s failure to cash flow the Approved Budget (as defined in paragraph 2(b) below on a timely basis in accordance with the applicable SOW) shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement by Production Partner.

 

(g) It is expressly agreed that Production Partner is acting as an independent contractor in performing services hereunder. No agent or employee of Production Partner shall be deemed to be an employee or agent of Company. None of the benefits provided by Company to its employees, including, without limitation, life, disability, health, and/or profit-sharing benefits, if any, shall be available to Production Partner or to any agent or employee of Production Partner.

 

2. Approved Budget:

 

(a) Provided that Production Partner is not in uncured material breach or uncured material default of this Agreement or the SOW for the applicable Project and provided further that Production Partner renders and fully completes all material services hereunder, and subject further to all of the provisions of this Agreement and the SOW, then as full and complete compensation for Production Partner’s services and the results and proceeds therefrom, and the rights granted hereunder, Production Partner shall be entitled to payment of the amount as set forth in the SOW (“Approved Budget”) for the applicable Project, and payable in accordance with a payment schedule set forth therein. Production Partner acknowledges and agrees that the Approved Budget is an all-in amount that includes Production Partner’s fee as well as all production costs, charges and all other fees, including without limitation, any and all third-party fees and participations (including any payments to be made to any talent, music licenses or collection societies, guilds or unions, etc.), all payroll, taxes, insurance, bonding, clearance, legal and rights payments that relate to the Project Content except as set forth in the applicable SOW; provided, however, that as between Company and Production Partner, Company shall be responsible for: (i) public performance royalties due to any applicable performing rights organizations (including, without limitation, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR) in connection with the exploitation of music approved by the Company in writing (email sufficient) to be included in the Project and the Project Content and any deliverables set forth on the SOW; and (ii) all costs associated with the Project being covered by a union, guild, or collective bargaining agreement (including, without limitation, increased labor costs, pension, health, and welfare contributions, residuals, and re-use fees), provided that the Company has consented thereto in accordance with Sections 1(d) or 9(i)(d), provided that in the event the Project becomes subject to the jurisdiction of any union, guild, or collective bargaining agreement and Company does not consent thereto in accordance with Section 9(i)(d), Production Partner’s failure to render services hereunder shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Production Partner. Additionally, payment of the Approved Budget shall be conditional upon receipt by Company of invoices for said amounts and complete execution of this Agreement and the applicable SOW.

(b) Production Partner shall bear all production overages on each Project unless such overage is pre-approved by Company in writing, it being understood and agreed that if any production overage occurs without Company’s prior written approval, Production Partner shall bear such overage except for the following overages which shall be Company’s responsibility subject to an overage budget to be approved by Company in writing: (i) overages resulting from Company’s written requests (email sufficient) outside the Approved Budget (e.g. additional talent, travel, and/or locations, accelerated delivery, etc.); (ii) overages resulting from Company’s delays in exercising Company’s creative and business decisions including, without limitation, Company’s exercise of its review and/or approval rights and/or inconsistent direction/notes and/or inconsistent approvals from Company; (iii) overages resulting from any force majeure events; and (iv) overages resulting from unanticipated labor cost increases associated with the Project being covered by any guild or collective bargaining agreement. Production Partner shall have an obligation to promptly notify Company of any events within Production Partner’s knowledge which may, or are reasonably expected to, cause overages. Failure by Production Partner to do so will result in Production Partner being liable for such overage unless Company is obligated to cover such overage pursuant to the terms of this paragraph 2(b). In the event that Company’s requests and/or approvals would require Production Partner to incur any overages, Production Partner shall notify Company regarding same and Production Partner shall not be required to incur such overages unless Company agrees in writing to cover such overages.

 

3. Control/Utilization of Services: All creative and business decisions concerning a Project and and/or the Proceeds (as defined in Section 4 below), including, without limitation, any decisions with respect to the creative or the financing, development, production, distribution, marketing, promotion and/or other exploitation of the Project shall be made by Company in its sole and complete discretion except as otherwise set forth in the SOW for the applicable Project. Further, Company shall have no obligation to produce, distribute or exploit the Project or any of the Proceeds, nor shall Company be obligated to make any use of Production Partner’s services, and Production Partner shall not be entitled to any damages or other relief by reason thereof.

 

4. Intellectual Property:

 

(a) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW, Company shall own each Project and all rights to all material and/or intellectual property created relating thereto, including but not limited to the Project Content. All works of any nature produced, developed, created or suggested by Production Partner in connection with the Project prior to or during the term of Production Partner’s engagement or resulting from Production Partner’s services hereunder (which for purposes of clarity, shall include the Project Content, Production Partner’s services related to each Project and any and all rights acquired by Production Partner from third parties in the performance of its services hereunder) (whether or not authorized by Company or under the supervision or control of Company), including but not limited to, any work of authorship, contribution, acting, writing, directing or producing services, stories, taglines, artwork, logos, copy, materials, ideas, stories, headlines, layouts, animations, aggregations, designs, posts, scripts, screenplays, teleplays, bibles, treatments, drafts, notes, research, source material, strategies, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, drawings, illustrations, animations, gifs, projects, productions, packages, programs, projects and other intellectual properties, including works in progress, but specifically excluding licensed third party materials (including, without limitation and as applicable, music, clips, photographs, artwork, user-generated content, marks, and logos) shall be deemed specially ordered by Company and to be “work made for hire” within the meaning of U.S. Copyright Law, with Company being deemed the sole author of such work and owner of all such results and proceeds (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Proceeds”). Such Proceeds shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company throughout the universe with the right to use same in perpetuity in any manner and in any media the Company determines in its sole and complete discretion without any further payment or remuneration to Production Partner except as may be set forth in the SOW for the applicable Project. In the event such Proceeds are determined not to be a “work-made-for-hire,” then Production Partner, for no additional consideration, hereby irrevocably and exclusively assigns to Company, in perpetuity, throughout the universe, all rights (including, without limitation, all copyrights and renewals and extensions thereof) in and to such Proceeds. Company shall have the right to use, refrain from using, change, modify, add to or subtract from, and to exploit, advertise, exhibit and otherwise use any or all of the foregoing in any manner and/or media, whether now known or hereafter devised or known, throughout the universe, in perpetuity, in any and all languages, as Company in its sole and complete discretion shall determine unless (and solely to the extent) (i) otherwise specified in the applicable SOW or (ii) certain clearance restrictions are approved in writing by Company (email sufficient) subsequent to the execution of the applicable SOW. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Production Partner hereby irrevocably waives any and all so-called “moral rights” of authors. The termination of this Agreement for any reason or inactivity under the Agreement shall not affect Company’s ownership of the Proceeds or any other proceeds of Production Partner’s services and/or activities hereunder, and/or alter any warranty, representation, covenant, or undertaking on the part of Production Partner hereunder. Production Partner agrees to execute all documents following a reasonable opportunity to review and negotiate same in good faith and do all things Company deems in good faith necessary and appropriate at Company’s sole cost and expense outside the Approved Budget to effectuate the purpose of this provision. Company shall have the right to use in perpetuity Production Partner’s name and approved biography in connection with each applicable Project, including in the advertising and promotion thereof.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, including the contract requirements in Section 1(d), Production Partner agrees to bind any and all employees and/or contractors of the Projects engaged by Production Partner, including without limitation, the other creative team members engaged by Production Partner (artists, designers, talent, musicians and any other similar parties) to the relevant terms herein (e.g., ownership terms, representations and warranties, no injunctive relief, etc.), so that Company has complete ownership over all aspects of each Project and all rights related thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Proceeds shall include without limitation, all rights of Production Partner separately obtained in connection with the Projects, and otherwise in connection with the services rendered by Production Partner hereunder, as well as any and all third-party agreements entered into by Production Partner in connection with the Projects, all of which Proceeds shall be hereby assigned to Company. Accordingly, Company is the author and the sole and exclusive owner of the copyright(s) and any and all other rights in and to the Projects and all elements thereof, and the results and proceeds of Production Partner’s services rendered hereunder, and shall have the exclusive right in perpetuity (but not the obligation) to use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, exhibit, broadcast (by terrestrial cable, satellite or any other means), market, advertise, and otherwise exploit any or all of the foregoing in any manner or media or formats, whether now known or hereafter devised, throughout the universe, in all languages, as Company, in its sole and complete discretion shall determine unless (and solely to the extent) (i) otherwise specified in the applicable SOW or (ii) certain clearance restrictions are approved in writing by Company (email sufficient) subsequent to the execution of the applicable SOW.

 

5. Confidentiality.

 

Production Partner acknowledges that it will have access to information that is treated as confidential and proprietary by Company including, without limitation the existence and terms of this Agreement, trade secrets, technology, and information pertaining to business operations and strategies, featured issuers and their confidential and proprietary information, customers, pricing, marketing, finances, sourcing, or personnel, in each case whether spoken, written, printed, electronic, or in any other form or medium (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Any Confidential Information that Production Partner accesses or develops in connection with the services to be provided hereunder, including but not limited to any Proceeds, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section. Production Partner agrees to treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential, not to disclose Confidential Information or permit it to be disclosed, in whole or part, to any third party without the prior written consent of the Company in each instance, and not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose except as required in the performance of the services.

Page 4 of 16

 

 

Confidential Information shall not include information that:

 

is or becomes generally available to the public other than through Production Partner’s breach of this Agreement;
   
is communicated to Production Partner by a third party that had no confidentiality obligations with respect to such information;
   
was known by Production Partner prior to the commencement of discussions between the parties in 2017; or
   
was developed independently by Production Partner prior to the commencement of discussions between the parties in 2017 or was developed independently by Production Partner after the commencement of discussions between the parties in 2017 but without using any of the Confidential Information.

 

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order. Production Partner agrees to provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of Company within 24 hours of receiving such order, but in any event sufficiently in advance of making any disclosure to permit Company to contest the order or seek confidentiality protections if permitted by applicable law or regulation, as determined in Company’s sole discretion. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information to Production Partner’s employees and contractors on a need-to-know basis, or to Production Partner’s attorneys and accountants, in each case who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information on terms no less stringent than those set forth in this Agreement (collectively, “Representatives”), as necessary to perform Production Partner’s services hereunder, or as necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement, provided that Production Partner shall remain liable for any breach of the confidentiality obligations under this Agreement by any Representative(s).

 

6. Credit. Provided that Production Partner fulfills its material obligations with regard to each SOW, then Production Partner shall receive a single card executive producer credit for each of Eric Day and Mark Koops, each on a separate card, in the main titles of the Project, grouped with other executive producer credits. Production Partner’s executive producer credit shall be equal in size, font and prominence as to any other executive producer credit. Production Partner also shall have a closing credit in the credit roll of the Project to include Production Partner’s logo on a single card in last position grouped with other logo credits and of the same size and duration as other logo credits. Except for the foregoing credit requirements, the size, color, shape, placement, duration and all other characteristics of said credits shall be at Company’s sole discretion. No accidental or inadvertent failure to accord credit as provided for herein shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement provided that Company undertakes reasonable steps to correct such failure on a prospective basis.

7. Insurance. During the term of this Agreement and for three years thereafter, Production Partner shall carry and pay for production insurance within the Approved Budget with respect to the applicable Project (i.e. general liability, excess liability, auto liability, worker’s compensation, production package, and errors and omissions insurance coverage), which insurance shall specifically name Company as an additional insured party on the general liability, auto liability, and errors and omissions insurance policies. Production Partner shall furnish Company with certificates of insurance stating and certifying the amount and type of insurance and that Company is an additional insured party on the general liability, auto liability, and errors and omissions insurance policies for the applicable Project.

 

8. Termination; Survival: Production Partner and Company may terminate this Agreement by mutual written agreement. If either Party materially defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, or an SOW, then the other Party shall give written notice to defaulting Party describing in reasonable detail the nature of the default and the defaulting Party shall have fifteen (15) business days to cure such default. If the default is not materially cured within such stated period, then the non-defaulting Party, upon written notice, may terminate this Agreement and the applicable SOW. In the event that Company terminates this Agreement for Production Partner’s uncured material default, Company shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of Production Partner’s production company fee within the Approved Budget pursuant to the applicable SOW based upon the services completed prior to such termination pursuant to the applicable SOW in relation to all services that were to be provided pursuant to the applicable SOW. Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time for any reason, subject to the payment of Production Partner’s production company fee within the Approved Budget (i.e. ten percent (10%) of the Approved Budget) and costs incurred or committed within the Approved Budget by Production Partner and any overages approved by Company or for which Company is responsible hereunder and any other amounts due to Company pursuant to the applicable SOW. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Production Partner shall immediately deliver to Company all Proceeds in Production Partner’s possession or control, including without limitation any work in progress, as well as all Clearances provided that any such delivery for termination for any reason other than Production Partner’s uncured material default shall be at Company’s sole cost and expense.

If an indemnifying party does not assume control of the defense of any claim as provided in this Section following the indemnified party’s written notice to the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party’s failure to assume control of the defense of any claim within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice, the indemnified party shall have the right to defend such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party to the extent that it is finally determined or agreed that the indemnifying party is obligated to provide indemnification to the indemnified party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall not settle or compromise any claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

You agree that these restrictions shall also apply to any (i) trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information, knowledge, data or know-how belonging to third parties and in the Company’s possession; and (ii) Confidential Information conceived, originated, discovered or developed by you.

 

b.Non-Solicit. You agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement for any reason other than by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, you will not disrupt, impair, or interfere with the business of the Company by interfering with or “raiding” the Company’s employees or independent contractors by directly or indirectly soliciting the Company’s employees or independent contractors to work for any individual or entity then in competition with the Company.

d.Disparagement. During and after the Term, the parties hereunder agree not to make any disparaging statements concerning the other or any of their respective subsidiaries, assigns, heirs, companies, affiliates, or current or former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, or agents (collectively, “Non-Disparagement Parties”). The parties further agree not to take any actions or conduct themselves in any way that would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the reputation or goodwill of the other party or any of their respective Non-Disparagement Parties. The parties further agree that neither of them shall voluntarily provide information to or otherwise cooperate with any other individual or other entity that is contemplating or pursuing litigation against any of the other party or any of their respective Non-Disparagement Parties; provided, however, that any party may participate in or otherwise assist in any investigation or inquiry conducted by the EEOC, SEC, or any other applicable government agency or any litigation or proceeding between them. These nondisparagement obligations shall not in any way affect the parties’ obligation to testify truthfully in any legal proceeding or a party’s right to bring any legal proceeding in its own name, unless otherwise prohibited.

 

e.Return of Property. As soon as possible in connection with any termination of your employment under this Agreement, you shall return to the Company all Company property, including, without limitation, computer equipment, software, keys and access cards, credit cards, files and any documents (including computerized data and any copies made of computer data or software) containing information concerning the Company, its business or its business relationships (in the latter two cases, actual or prospective). You shall also commit to deleting and finally purging, to the extent possible, any duplicates of files or documents that may contain Company information from any computer or other device that remains your property after any Date of Termination.

 

f.Injunction. You agree that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by you of your obligations under this Section 6, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, you agree that if you breach, or propose to breach, any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act on your part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

d.Termination by Company Without Cause. At any time during the Term, the Company may terminate your employment hereunder without Cause. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination by the Company of your employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 7(c), or result from your death or disability as set forth in Sections 7(a) or 7(b), shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

 

e.Termination by You. At any time during the Term, you may terminate your employment hereunder for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, Good Reason. If you terminate this Agreement without Good Reason, you shall give the Company at least 30 days’ prior written notice of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that you have complied with the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) without your consent, a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority, or duties; (ii) except for a diminution that is part of a broader set of salary reductions applicable to the Company’s other senior executives, without your consent, a material diminution in your Annual Base Salary; (iii) without your consent, a material change in the geographic location at which you provide services to the Company; or (iv) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company. “Good Reason Process” shall mean that (1) you reasonably determine in good faith that a Good Reason condition has occurred; (2) you notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the occurrence of such condition; (3) you provide the Company with a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”) to remedy the condition; (4) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (5) you terminate your employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, then Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred, and you shall be deemed to not have terminated your employment in connection therewith.

 

f.Except for termination as specified in Section 7(a), any termination of your employment by the Company or any such termination by you shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

 

g.Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if your employment is terminated by your death, the date of your death; (ii) if your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause under Section 7(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given after all applicable notice and cure periods provided therein; (iii) your employment is terminated by the Company under Section 7(b) or 7(d), 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; (iv) if your employment is terminated by you without Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (v) if your employment is terminated by you for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that you give a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

8.Compensation Upon Termination.

 

a.Termination Generally. If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason during the Term, within such time period as may be required by California law, but in no event to exceed 30 days, the Company shall pay or provide to you (or to your authorized representative or estate) any earned but unpaid Annual Base Salary, incentive compensation earned but not yet paid, unpaid expense reimbursements, and any vested benefits you may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination (the “Accrued Benefit”). You shall not be entitled to receive any other termination payments or termination benefits from the Company except as specifically provided in Section 8(b) or 8(c), as applicable.

 

b.Termination by the Company Without Cause or Resignation by You for Good Reason. In addition to payment of your Accrued Benefit pursuant to Section 8(a), if (i) your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, and (ii) you sign a general release of claims in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) within 21 days (or such other time as is required by law to make the Release effective as set forth in the Release) of the date of your termination and do not revoke such Release during the seven-day revocation period, and (iii) you comply with the covenants set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), then the Company shall pay you a “Severance Payment” equal to three times (3x) your Annual Base Salary in effect as of the Date of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to any other compensation regardless of the length of the remainder of the Term of this Agreement. Any Severance Payment due hereunder shall be paid out in a lump sum on the first payroll date after the Date of Termination or expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, if later.

 

c.Termination after Change of Control. If, following a Change of Control, your employment is terminated by the Company with or without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason (any of the foregoing, a “Change of Control Termination”), then the Company shall, through the Date of Termination, pay you your Accrued Benefit as set forth in Section 8(a). Additionally, if (i) there is a Change of Control Termination, and (ii) you sign a Release within 21 days (or such other time as is required by law to make the Release effective as set forth in the Release) of the date of your termination and do not revoke such Release during the seven-day revocation period, and (iii) you comply with the Restrictive Covenants, then the Company shall pay you a “Severance Payment” equal to four times (4x) your Annual Base Salary in effect as of the Date of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to any other compensation regardless of the length of the remainder of the Term of this Agreement. Any Severance Payment due hereunder shall be paid out in a lump sum on the first payroll date after the Date of Termination or expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, if later.

 

8

 

 

d.Change of Control” means (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger, or reorganization in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, continue to hold (themselves or through any of their affiliates) at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity in substantially the same proportions (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger, or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power is transferred to third parties who are not affiliates of any of the Company’s shareholders as of immediately prior to such transaction(s); or (iii) a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to an affiliate of any of the shareholders of the Company as of immediately prior to such transaction(s).

 

9.Miscellaneous.

 

a.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter.

 

b.Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, except in writing signed by all parties hereto.

 

c.Withholding. All payments made by the Company to you under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

 

d.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and your rights hereunder are personal to you and are not, without the prior written consent of the Company, assignable by you. This Agreement shall inure for the benefit (and not burden) of and be enforceable by your personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of your death after the termination of your employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due to you under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to your beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to your death (or to your estate, if you fail to make such designation).

 

9

 

 

e.Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator, the court or arbitrator (as applicable) shall limit the application of such portion or provision and proceed to enforce the Agreement as so limited or modified. Consequently, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

f.Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

 

g.Notice. Any notice permitted or required by or relating to this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service by registered or certified mail, or by Federal Express or another commercial delivery service, with postage and fees prepaid, or by email effective upon acknowledgement of receipt. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to you at the address that you most recently provided to the Company.

 

h.Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of choice of law.

 

i.Arbitration. Any controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, or breach of this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration to be held with ADR Services, Inc. in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with its Arbitration Rules in effect at such time (the “Rules”), before a single neutral arbitrator chosen by the Company and you, or, if the parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the demand for arbitration is filed and served, a single neutral arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the Rules. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

j.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, by original or facsimile or electronic signature, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

 

k.Successor to Company. The Company may unilaterally assign this Agreement to a related entity, a successor, or an assign. The Company, however, shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

 

l.Representation by Counsel. The Company and you each acknowledge that each party to this Agreement has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it, has no application and is expressly waived.

a.You agree (A) that any invention or intellectual property relating to the business of the Company, i.e. the Going Public series (the “Business”), to which you have contributed or contribute (whether prior to the Effective Date or thereafter) to the conception (“Inventions”), including but not limited to any pre-existing Inventions (other than Excluded Inventions), have been and are being developed by you for the sole and exclusive use of the Company and (B) that the Company will be deemed the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title, and interest to any Inventions, including all copyright, patent, and proprietary rights relating thereto. Any Inventions developed by or in conjunction with you and any supporting documentation therefor shall be considered Works Made for Hire (as such are defined under U.S. Copyright Laws) and, as such, shall be owned by and for the benefit of the Company.

 

2

 

 

b.In the event that it should be determined that any of such Inventions or supporting documentation does not qualify as a “Work Made for Hire,” you will and hereby do assign to the Company for no additional consideration, all right, title, and interest that you may possess in such Invention and documentation including, but not limited to, all copyright and proprietary rights relating thereto. Upon request, you will take such steps as are reasonably necessary to enable the Company to record such assignment at the Company’s cost and expense.

 

c.In no event will Inventions include any ideas or inventions or other intellectual property (i) which were conceived before Executive’s employment with the Company and which are listed on Exhibit A hereto (“Excluded Inventions”) or (ii) which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B hereto), including any idea or invention or other intellectual property which is developed entirely on Executive’s own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, and which is not related to the Company’s business (either actual or demonstrably anticipated), and which does not result from work performed for the Company.

You shall not reproduce any portion of such notebook records without the prior express written consent of the Company. You shall promptly and fully report all such records to the Company. You will not file any patent applications relating to any Inventions without first obtaining an express release from the Company. In accordance with and subject to applicable patent laws, the Company agrees to name you or your designees as “Inventors” of any Inventions, as and where appropriate, and you will and hereby do assign, or will cause such designees to assign, all patent rights to the Company.

 

e.The Company has the right to use any Inventions and to reproduce, re-use, alter, modify, edit, or change any Inventions as it sees fit and for any purpose.

 

3

 

 

f.You shall fully cooperate with the Company in the protection and enforcement of any intellectual property rights that may derive as a result of this Agreement. This includes signing, upon request, any documents needed to confirm that any Inventions or any portion thereof is a Work Made for Hire or to effectuate the assignment of any Inventions or any portion thereof to the Company. You will assist the Company and its agents, upon request, in preparing U.S. and foreign copyright, trademark, and/or patent applications covering any Inventions. The Company will bear all expenses incurred in connection with such copyright, trademark, and/or patent applications.

 

6.Restrictive Covenants.

 

a.Confidentiality. You agree to hold in confidence and not to disclose to others except in the ordinary course of business and for the benefit of the Company, and not to take or use for your own purposes or the purposes of others, during or after the Term of this Agreement, any of the Company’s trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information, knowledge, data or know-how (collectively, “Confidential Information”). You agree that these restrictions shall also apply to any (i) trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information, knowledge, data or know-how belonging to third parties and in the Company’s possession; and (ii) Confidential Information conceived, originated, discovered or developed by you.

 

b.Non-Solicit. You agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement for any reason other than by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, you will not disrupt, impair, or interfere with the business of the Company by interfering with or “raiding” the Company’s employees or independent contractors by directly or indirectly soliciting the Company’s employees or independent contractors to work for any individual or entity then in competition with the Company. Without limiting the applicability of any other provisions of this Agreement, you agree that at no time will you use any of the Company’s Confidential Information to directly or indirectly solicit the Company’s employees or independent contractors to work for any individual or entity then in competition with the Company.

 

c.Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Term, you shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates (including its and their outside counsel) in connection with the contemplation, prosecution and defense of all phases of existing, past and future claims or actions which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while you were employed by the Company. Your cooperation shall be at no out-of-pocket expense to you. Your cooperation as identified above in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Term, you also shall reasonably cooperate with the Company, at no out-of-pocket expense to you, in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while you were employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse you for any and all out-of-pocket expenses that are incurred in connection with your performance of obligations pursuant to this Section after receipt of documentation evidencing such expenditure(s). If you perform obligations pursuant to this Section after the Term, the Company shall pay you on an hourly basis, based on your most recent Annual Base Salary.

 

4

 

 

d.Disparagement. During and after the Term, the parties hereunder agree not to make any disparaging statements concerning the other or any of their respective subsidiaries, assigns, heirs, companies, affiliates, or current or former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, or agents (collectively, “Non-Disparagement Parties”). The parties further agree not to take any actions or conduct themselves in any way that would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the reputation or goodwill of the other party or any of their respective Non-Disparagement Parties. The parties further agree that neither of them shall voluntarily provide information to or otherwise cooperate with any other individual or other entity that is contemplating or pursuing litigation against any of the other party or any of their respective Non-Disparagement Parties; provided, however, that any party may participate in or otherwise assist in any investigation or inquiry conducted by the EEOC, SEC, or any other applicable government agency or any litigation or proceeding between them. These nondisparagement obligations shall not in any way affect the parties’ obligation to testify truthfully in any legal proceeding or a party’s right to bring any legal proceeding in its own name, unless otherwise prohibited.

 

e.Return of Property. As soon as possible in connection with any termination of your employment under this Agreement, you shall return to the Company all Company property, including, without limitation, computer equipment, software, keys and access cards, credit cards, files and any documents (including computerized data and any copies made of computer data or software) containing information concerning the Company, its business or its business relationships (in the latter two cases, actual or prospective). You shall also commit to deleting and finally purging, to the extent possible, any duplicates of files or documents that may contain Company information from any computer or other device that remains your property after any Date of Termination.

 

f.Injunction. You agree that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by you of your obligations under this Section 6, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, you agree that if you breach, or propose to breach, any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

7.Termination of Employment. Your employment hereunder may be terminated under the following circumstances:

 

a.Death. Your employment hereunder shall terminate upon your death.

 

b.Disability. The Company may terminate your employment if you are disabled and unable to perform the essential functions of your then-existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12−month period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period you are disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of your then-existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, you may and, at the request of the Company, shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician reasonably selected by the Company to whom you or your guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether you are so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive on such issues. You shall cooperate, to the extent practicable, with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and you shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on you. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to waive your rights, if any, under existing law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

 

c.Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate your employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate your employment hereunder upon: (A) your commission of gross negligence in the performance or non-performance of any of your duties or responsibilities to the Company which has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Company; or (B) your willful engagement in fraud, act of dishonesty, or illegal conduct which is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or (C) your willful and material violation of the provisions of this Agreement that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act on your part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without: (i) reasonable notice to you setting forth the reasons for the Company’s intention to terminate for Cause, (ii) an opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard before the Board, and (iii) delivery to you of a Notice of Termination as defined in subsection (f) hereof from the Board finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board that you were guilty of conduct set forth hereinabove, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

 

6

 

 

d.Termination by Company Without Cause. At any time during the Term, the Company may terminate your employment hereunder without Cause. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination by the Company of your employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 7(c), or result from your death or disability as set forth in Sections 7(a) or 7(b), shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

 

e.Termination by You. At any time during the Term, you may terminate your employment hereunder for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, Good Reason. If you terminate this Agreement without Good Reason, you shall give the Company at least 30 days’ prior written notice of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that you have complied with the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) without your consent, a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority, or duties; (ii) except for a diminution that is part of a broader set of salary reductions applicable to the Company’s other senior executives, without your consent, a material diminution in your Annual Base Salary; (iii) without your consent, a material change in the geographic location at which you provide services to the Company; or (iv) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company. “Good Reason Process” shall mean that (1) you reasonably determine in good faith that a Good Reason condition has occurred; (2) you notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the occurrence of such condition; (3) you provide the Company with a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”) to remedy the condition; (4) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (5) you terminate your employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, then Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred, and you shall be deemed to not have terminated your employment in connection therewith.

 

f.Except for termination as specified in Section 7(a), any termination of your employment by the Company or any such termination by you shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

 

g.Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if your employment is terminated by your death, the date of your death; (ii) if your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause under Section 7(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given after all applicable notice and cure periods provided therein; (iii) your employment is terminated by the Company under Section 7(b) or 7(d), 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; (iv) if your employment is terminated by you without Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (v) if your employment is terminated by you for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that you give a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

 

7

 

 

8.Compensation Upon Termination.

 

a.Termination Generally. If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason during the Term, within such time period as may be required by California law, but in no event to exceed 30 days, the Company shall pay or provide to you (or to your authorized representative or estate) any earned but unpaid Annual Base Salary, incentive compensation earned but not yet paid, unpaid expense reimbursements, and any vested benefits you may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination (the “Accrued Benefit”).

5.3 Adjustments. The Committee is authorized to adjust or modify the calculation of a Performance Goal for a Performance Period in its sole discretion.

 

6. Payment of Awards.

 

6.1 Determination of Awards.

 

(a) Within thirty (30) days of the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved or exceeded. Subject to Section 6.1(c), if the minimum Performance Goals established by the Committee are not achieved, then no payment will be made.

 

(b) To the extent that the Performance Goals are achieved, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant have been achieved and shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Award.

 

(c) In determining the amount of each Award, the Committee may reduce, eliminate, or increase the amount of an Award if, in its sole discretion, such reduction, elimination, or increase is appropriate.

 

6.2 Form and Timing of Payment. The Company shall promptly notify each Participant of the determination of an Award pursuant to Section 6.1. Unless an Award specifies the manner in which it must be paid, the Participant may elect in writing to receive an Award in cash or in a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (determined by dividing the Award amount by the Fair Market Value as determined under such Plan), or in options or warrants to purchase the same, or in units bundling any of the foregoing, or in any combination of the foregoing, as may be set forth in the Award.

All Awards will be less required withholding. Payment of Awards shall be made as soon as practicable following a Participant’s election as to the method of payment, provided however that in no event shall payment of any Award be made later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the applicable Performance Period ended (the “Outside Date”).

 

5

 

 

6.3 Employment Requirement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, no Award shall be paid to any Participant who is not actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the date that the applicable Performance Period ended.

 

7. Termination of Employment.

 

7.1 Employment Requirement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.2, if a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the date that the applicable Performance Period ended, all of the Participant’s rights to an Award for such Performance Period shall be forfeited. However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay a Pro-Rated Award, subject to the Committee’s determination that the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been met. Such Pro-Rated Award will be paid at the same time and in the same manner as Awards are paid to other Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Participant shall in all cases forfeit any Award not already paid.

 

7.2 Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability. If a Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of his or her death or Disability during a Performance Period or following a Performance Period but before the date that Awards are paid, the Participant or his or her beneficiary will be paid the Award that would otherwise be payable if the Participant remained employed through the date that Awards are paid. Payment of such Award will be made at the same time and in the same manner as Awards are paid to other Participants.

 

8. Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs during a Performance Period, each Participant will receive his or her Target Award, without regard to actual performance and without proration for less than the full Performance Period. Awards paid in connection with a Change in Control will be paid within 30 days following the Change in Control.

 

9. General Provisions.

 

9.1 Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the granting of Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.

 

9.2 Non-transferability. A person’s rights and interests under the Plan, including any Award previously made to such person or any amounts payable under the Plan may not be assigned, pledged, or transferred, except in the event of the Participant’s death, to a designated beneficiary in accordance with the Plan, or in the absence of such designation, by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

 

9.3 No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any notice of Award shall confer upon any person the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate or affect the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any Participant.

 

6

 

 

9.4 No Right to Award. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in an employment agreement signed by the Company and a Participant, a Participant shall not have any right to any Award under the Plan until such Award has been paid to such Participant and participation in the Plan in one Performance Period does not connote any right to become a Participant in the Plan in any future Performance Period.

 

9.5 Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any Award, any federal, state or local income and/or payroll taxes required by law to be withheld and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to an Award.

 

9.6 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may, at any time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant to Awards allocated prior to such amendment, suspension or termination.

 

9.7 Unfunded Status. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary or legal representative or any other person. To the extent that a person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

 

9.8 Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with the laws of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law.

 

9.9 Beneficiaries. To the extent that the Committee permits beneficiary designations, any payment of Awards due under the Plan to a deceased Participant shall be paid to the beneficiary duly designated by the Participant in accordance with the Company’s practices. If no such beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

 

9.10 Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that payments under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In the event that any Award does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed accordingly.

 

9.11 Expenses. All costs and expenses in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

 

9.12 Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be considered illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been contained therein.

 

7

 

 

9.13 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, wherever used, the masculine pronoun includes the feminine pronoun; the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.

 

9.14 Non-exclusive. Nothing in the Plan shall limit the authority of the Company, the Board or the Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements, as it may deem desirable for any Participant.

 

9.15 Notice. Any notice to be given to the Company or the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be in writing and directed to the Secretary or Co-CEOs of the Company.

 

9.16 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding upon any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

9.17 Clawback. In the event the Board determines that a significant restatement of the Company’s financial results or other Company metrics for any of the three prior fiscal years have been prepared is required and (a) such restatement is the result of fraud or willful misconduct and (b) the Participant’s Award amount would have been lower had the results or metrics been properly calculated, the Committee has the authority to obtain reimbursement from any Participant responsible for the fraud or willful misconduct resulting in the restatement. Such reimbursement shall consist of any portion of any Award previously paid that is greater than it would have been if calculated based upon the restated financial results or metrics.

 

The action permitted to be taken by the Board under this Section 9.17 is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other rights of the Board and/or the Company under applicable law and shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan.

Escrow Agent is under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any subscription amounts whether delivered to it or not hereunder. Issuer shall cooperate with Escrow Agent with clearing any and all AML and funds processing exceptions.

 

Funds Hold; Clearing, Settlement and Risk Management Policy: All parties agree that Subscriber funds are considered “cleared” as follows:

 

* Wires — 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds;
* Checks — 10 days following deposit of funds to the Escrow Account;
*ACH — 10 days following receipt of funds;

*Virtual currencies – upon receipt of coins/tokens or USD upon conversion, as agreed;

*Credit and Debit Cards – 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds.

 

For subscription amounts received through ACH transfers, Federal regulations provide Subscribers with the right to recall, cancel or otherwise dispute the transaction for a period of up to 60 days following the transactions. Similarly, subscription amounts processed by credit or debit card transactions are subject to recall, chargeback, cancellation or other dispute for a period of up to 180 days following the transaction. As an accommodation to the Issuer and Broker, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall make subscription amounts received through ACH fund transfers available starting 10 calendar days following receipt by Escrow Agent of the subscription amounts and 24 hours following receipt of funds for credit and debit card transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all cleared subscription amounts remain subject to internal compliance review in accordance with internal procedures and applicable rules and regulations. Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation in the Escrow Account any Subscriber to the extent Escrow Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable laws or to eliminate practices that are not consistent with laws, rules, regulations or best practices. Prime Trust reserves the right to limit, suspend, restrict (including increasing clearing periods) or terminate the use of ACH, credit card and/or debit card transactions at its sole discretion. Without limiting the indemnification obligations under Section 11 of this Agreement, Issuer agrees that it will immediately indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Escrow Agent for any fees, costs or liability whatsoever resulting or arising from funds processing failures, including without limitation chargebacks, recalls or other disputes. Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or obligated to pursue collection of any funds from Subscribers.

4.Disbursements from the Escrow Account. In the event Escrow Agent does not receive the Minimum Amount of the Offering prior to the termination of the Escrow Period, Escrow Agent shall terminate the Escrow Account and make a full and prompt return of cleared funds to each Subscriber to the Offering. In the event Escrow Agent receives cleared funds for at least the Minimum Amount of the Offering prior to the termination of the Escrow Period, and for any point thereafter and Escrow Agent receives a written instruction from Issuer and Broker (generally via notification on the Issuer Dashboard), Escrow Agent shall, pursuant to those instructions, make a disbursement to the Issuer from the Escrow Account. Issuer acknowledges that there is a 24-hour (one business day) processing time once a request has been received to disburse funds from the Escrow Account. Furthermore, Issuer directs Escrow Agent to accept instructions regarding fees from Broker, including other registered securities brokers in the syndicate, if any, or from the API integrated platform or portal through which this Offering is being conducted, if any.

 

5.Collection Procedure. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, upon receipt of Subscriber funds, to promptly deposit them in the Escrow Account. Any Subscriber funds which fail to clear or are subsequently reversed, including but not limited to chargebacks, recalls or otherwise disputed, shall be debited to the Escrow Account, with such debits reflected on the Escrow Account ledger accessible via Escrow Agent’s API or Issuer Dashboard as a non-exclusive remedy. Any and all escrow fees paid by Issuer, including those for funds processing are non-refundable, regardless of whether ultimately cleared, failed, rescinded, returned or recalled. In the event of any Subscriber refunds, returns or recalls after funds have already been remitted to Issuer, Issuer and/or Broker hereby irrevocably agree to immediately and without delay or dispute send equivalent funds to Escrow Agent to cover such refunds, returns or recalls. If Issuer has any dispute or disagreement with its Subscriber then that is separate and apart from this Agreement and Issuer and/or Broker will address such matters directly with such Subscriber, including taking whatever actions Issuer and/or Broker determines appropriate, but Issuer and/or Broker shall regardless remit funds to Escrow Agent and not involve Escrow Agent in any such disputes.

 

6.Escrow Administration Fees, Compensation of Prime Trust. Escrow Agent is entitled to escrow administration fees from Issuer and/or Broker as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and as displayed on the Issuer Dashboard. Escrow Agent fees are not contingent in any way on the success or failure of the Offering, receipt of Subscriber funds, or transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No fees, charges or expense reimbursements of Escrow Agent are reimbursable, and are not subject to pro-rata analysis. All fees and charges, if not paid by a representative of Issuer (e.g. funding platform, lead syndicate broker, etc.), may be made via either Issuers credit/debit card or ACH information on file with Escrow Agent. Issuer shall at all times maintain appropriate funds in their account for the payment of escrow administration fees. Escrow Agent may also collect its fee(s), at its option, from any other account held by the Issuer at Prime Trust. It is acknowledged and agreed that no fees, reimbursement for costs and expenses, indemnification for any damages incurred by Issuer or Escrow Agent shall be paid out of or chargeable to the Escrow Amount.

Furthermore, all parties agree that this Agreement shall continue in full force and be valid, unchanged and binding upon any successors of Escrow Agent.

Board of Directors

Crush Capital Inc.

 

To the Board of Directors:

 

We are acting as counsel to Crush Capital Inc. (the “Company”) with respect to the preparation and filing of an offering statement on Form 1-A. The offering statement covers the contemplated sale of up to 17,480,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) and one warrant to purchase one-half of one share of Non-Voting Common Stock (each a “Warrant”), as well as up to an aggregate of 8,740,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). The total number of Units offered are comprised of 13,985,550 Units which include 13,985,550 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock newly issued by the Company (“Company Shares”) and 13,985,550 warrants being issued by the Company, and 3,493,450 Units which include 3,493,450 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock (the “Selling Stockholder Shares”) being sold by Mr. Darren Marble and Mr. Todd Goldberg (together, the “Selling Stockholders”) and 3,493,450 warrants being issued by the Company.

 

In connection with the opinion contained herein, we have examined the offering statement, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the bylaws, the minutes of meetings of the Company’s board of directors, the form of warrant agreement proposed to be entered into by the Company, the notice of conversion signed by each Selling Stockholder (together, the “Conversion Notices”) providing for the conversion of shares of Voting Common Stock into the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock being offered by such Selling Stockholder, the irrevocable power of attorney signed by each Selling Stockholder, as well as all other documents necessary to render an opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, the absence of any undisclosed termination, modification, waiver or amendment to any document reviewed by us and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all such documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.

 

 

 

 

We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transactions only of the laws of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal law.

 

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

  1. The Company Shares are duly authorized and will be, when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
     
  2. The Selling Shareholder Shares, when issued in the manner described in the Conversion Notices, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

  3. The Warrants being sold pursuant to the offering statement are duly authorized and will be, when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

 

  4. The Warrant Shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance and such Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement against payment of the exercise price therefor, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

  5. The Units being sold pursuant to the offering statement are duly authorized.

 

 Our opinion that any document is legal, valid and binding is qualified as to: 

 

(a)limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally;

 

(b)rights to indemnification and contribution which may be limited by applicable law or equitable principles; and 

 

(c)general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and limitation of rights of acceleration, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

No opinion is being rendered hereby with respect to the truth and accuracy, or completeness of the offering statement or any portion thereof. 

 

We further consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the offering statement. 

 

Yours truly,

 

/s/ CrowdCheck Law LLP
