Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 15, 2019, C-Bond Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) announced it entered into an equity financing with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) for up to $800,000 through the purchase of shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On November 19, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, whereby the Investor purchased sixty-three thousand six hundred (63,600) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a Stated Value of $1.00 (the “Stated Value”) of the Company (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $50,000. The transaction closed on November 22, 2019, and the Company received net proceeds of $50,000 less transaction expenses.

 

The Certificate of Designations, Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designations”), as previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 21, 2019, is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, including that the Company has filed all reports and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). The Certificate of Designations also provides for certain events of default, including, among other things, failure to redeem, breaches of representations and warranties, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, and failure to comply with the 1934 Act.

 

The discussion herein regarding the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1. The discussion herein regarding the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations filed previously as Exhibit 3.1 to the Current Report on Form 10-K filed on October 21, 2019.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information provided under Item 1.01 herein is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information provided under Item 1.01 herein is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference. The issuance of the securities set forth herein was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there was only one recipient; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; (e) the negotiations for the issuance of the securities took place directly between the individual entity and the Company; and (f) the recipient of the securities is an accredited investor.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

On November 19, 2019, the Company amended (the “Amendment”) the Executive Employment Agreement entered into with Scott R. Silverman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the “Executive”), on October 18, 2017 (the “Agreement”). The Amendment transferred the agreement from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary C-Bond Systems, LLC, a Texas limited liability corporation, to the parent, C-Bond Systems, Inc., a Colorado corporation. The Amendment also updated the Change of Control provision in the Agreement so that if a Change of Control were to occur during the term of the Agreement, all unvested stock options/grants of the Executive will vest in full, and the Executive will be paid a change of control payment equal to three times his current minimum base salary plus minimum target bonus upon the closing of the Change of Control transaction. Upon the closing of a Change of Control event, and the aforementioned payment, the Agreement shall terminate.
