On February 17, 2021, the Issuer consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with the Arena Funds pursuant to which the Arena Funds purchased an aggregate principal amount of $16,500,000 original issue discount senior secured convertible notes for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 (the “Notes”). Following the approval of an amendment to the Issuer’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized thereunder from 500,000,000 to 6,000,000,000 by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereon, whether presented at a special or annual meeting of shareholders of the Issuer and the subsequent filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (such approval, the “Shareholder Approval”), the Notes would be convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price equal to $0.02, subject to adjustment. In connection with the Private Placement, the Arena Funds also received (a) 1000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), which, upon receipt of the Shareholder Approval, would be converted into 192,073,017 shares of Common Stock, or 4.70% of the fully-diluted Common Stock of the Issuer, and (b) warrants to purchase, following receipt of the Shareholder Approval, up to 192,073,017 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per share, subject to adjustment (“Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and Warrants, the Arena Funds cannot convert the Notes and/or exercise the Warrants to the extent the Arena Funds, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would beneficially own, after any such conversion and/or exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Blockers”).

 

 

 

 

Shareholder Approval was received on September 16, 2021, and 192,073,017 shares of Common Stock were deemed to have been automatically issued to the Arena Funds on such date. On October 14, 2021, the Arena Funds determined that the issuance had inadvertently resulted in the Arena Funds owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, the Arena Funds entered into negotiations with the Issuer to exchange 39,895,000 shares of their Common Stock into 39,895 shares of a new class of non-voting Series H Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the “Series H Preferred Stock”), which exchange was consummated on November 9, 2021. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible into 1000 shares of Common Stock at the option of the holders, but pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation for the Series H Preferred Stock, the Arena Funds cannot convert the Series H Preferred Stock to the extent the Arena Funds, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would beneficially own, after any such conversion and/or exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Blocker, and together with the Initial Blockers, the “Blockers”).

 

As of close of business on November 15, 2021, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 152,178,017 shares of Common Stock. All such shares of Common Stock in the aggregate represent beneficial ownership of approximately 9.99% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 1,563,990,027 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 12, 2021, as set forth in the Prospectus of the Issuer dated October 12, 2021. The foregoing excludes (a) 39,895,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock held by the Arena Funds because of the Blockers, (b) 825,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion the Notes held by the Arena Funds because of the Blockers and (b) 192,073,017 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Arena Funds because of the Blockers.

 

The Investment Manager is the investment manager of the Arena Funds. The Manager General Partner is the general partner of the Investment Manager. The General Partner is the general partner of the Opportunities Fund. The Partners Fund General Partner is the general partner of the Partners Fund. As a result of the foregoing, the Investment Manager and the Reporting Entities may be deemed to be beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer directly held by the Arena Funds and may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of such securities.

 

Each Reporting Person declares that neither the filing of this statement nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act or any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, each of the Investment Manager and the Reporting Entities disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held directly by Arena Funds.

 

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:

 

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following .

 

Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:

 

Not applicable.

Not applicable.

 

Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group:

Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group:

Item 10. Certification:

 

By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, other than activities solely in connection with a nomination under § 240.14a-11.
