Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 30, 2023, Safe and Green Development Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 30, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue, in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement, two Debentures to Peak One in the aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000.

 

The closing of the first tranche was consummated on November 30, 2023 and the Company issued an 8% convertible debenture in principal amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000.00) (the “Debenture”) to Peak One and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand (350,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, to Peak One’s designee as described in the Purchase Agreement. The Debenture was sold to Peak One for a purchase price of $630,000, representing an original issue discount of ten percent (10%). In connection with the offering, the Company paid $17,500 as a non-accountable fee to Peak One to cover its accounting fees, legal fees and other transactional costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and issued to Peak One and its designee an aggregate total of 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock (the “Commitment Shares”) as described in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Debenture matures twelve months from its date of issuance and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable on the maturity date. The Debenture is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the principal amount of the Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest at a conversion price equal to $2.14 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as anti-dilution price protection provisions that are subject to a floor price as set forth in the Debenture.

 

The Debenture is redeemable by the Company at a redemption price equal to 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest, if any. While the Debenture is outstanding, if the Company receives cash proceeds of more than $1,500,000.00 (“Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, the Company shall, within two (2) business days of Company’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the holder of such receipt, following which the holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 50% of all proceeds received by the Company (from any source except with respect to proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt to officers and directors of the Company) after the Minimum Threshold is reached to repay the outstanding amounts owed under the Debenture.

 

The Debenture contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, until it is cured, Peak One may increase the interest rate applicable to the Debenture to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law and accelerate the full indebtedness under the Debenture, in an amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest. The Debenture prohibits the Company from entering into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Debenture) until the Debenture is paid in full.

 

The Warrant expires five years from its date of issuance. The Warrant is exercisable, at the option of the holder, at any time, for up to 350,000 of shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $2.53 (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events, as well as anti-dilution price protection provisions that are subject to a floor price as set forth in the Warrant. The Warrant provides for cashless exercise under certain circumstances.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, a closing of the second tranche may occur subject to the mutual written agreement of Peak One and the Company and satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement at any time after January 29, 2024, upon which the Company would issue and sell to Peak One on the same terms and conditions a second 8% convertible debenture in the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Second Debenture”, and together with the Debenture, the “Debentures”) for a purchase price of $450,000, representing an original issue discount of ten percent (10%).

 

The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 30, 2023 (the “RRA”), with Peak One where it agreed to file a registration statement within 45 days to register the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Debenture and the Warrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and to use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) calendar days from November 30, 2023.

 

Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) acted as placement agent in the Offering. In connection with the closing of the first tranche of the Offering, the Company paid a placement fee of $37,800 to Maxim. Assuming the second tranche is closed, a placement fee in an amount equal to $27,000 will be payable by the Company to Maxim upon closing of the second tranche of the Offering.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Among other things, Peak One represented to the Company, that it is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

On November 30, 2023, the Company also entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EP Agreement”) and related Registration Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) with Peak One, pursuant to which the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Peak One to purchase up to $10,000,000.00 (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) in shares of the Company’s common stock in multiple tranches upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions contained in the EP Agreement and Rights Agreement, which includes, but is not limited to, filing a registration statement with the SEC and registering the resale of any shares sold to Peak One. Further, under the EP Agreement and subject to the Maximum Commitment Amount, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to submit a Put Notice (as defined in the EP Agreement) from time to time to Peak One (i) in a minimum amount not less than $25,000.00 and (ii) in a maximum amount up to the lesser of (a) $750,000.00 or (b) 200% of the Average Daily Trading Value (as defined in the EP Agreement).

 

In connection with the EP Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to issue to Peak One’s designee 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock as provided in the EP Agreement, and file a registration statement registering the common stock issued or issuable to Peak One and its designee under the EP Agreement for resale with the SEC within 45 calendar days of the EP Agreement, as more specifically set forth in the Rights Agreement and to use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) calendar days from November 30, 2023.

 

The obligation of Peak One to purchase the Company’s common stock under the EP Agreement begins on the date of the EP Agreement, and ends on the earlier of (i) the date on which Peak One shall have purchased common stock pursuant to the EP Agreement equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) thirty six (36) months after the date of the EP Agreement, (iii) written notice of termination by the Company or (iv) the Company’s bankruptcy or similar event (the “Commitment Period”).

 

During the Commitment Period, the purchase price to be paid by Peak One for the common stock under the EP Agreement will be 97% of the Market Price, which is defined as the lesser of the (i) closing bid price of the Common Stock on its principal market on the trading day immediately preceding the respective Put Date (as defined in the Agreement), or (ii) lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the Valuation Period (as defined in the Agreement), in each case as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P or other reputable source designated by Peak One.

 

The EP Agreement and the Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Among other things, Peak One represented to the Company, that it is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrant, and inclusive of the Commitment Shares and any shares issuable under and in respect of the EP Agreement, dated November 30, 2023, is subject to an exchange cap (the “Exchange Cap”) of 19.99% of the outstanding number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock on the closing date, 1,999,000 shares, unless shareholder approval to exceed the Exchange Cap is approved.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Debentures, Warrant, Registration Rights Agreement, EP Agreement and Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, 4.1, 4.2, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
