Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information set forth below relating to the conversion of the Notes discussed
in Item 8.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the securities was made pursuant to
Section 4 (a) (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder because, among other
things, the transaction did not involve a public offering and Holders (defined below) are accredited investors.
Item 5.02
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On October 5, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”),
upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, approved adjustments to several officers’
compensation packages. Specifically, in connection with the Board’s expense reduction initiatives, the Board approved
(i) a decrease of the annual salary of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Isaac Dietrich, to $95,000
per year from $130,000 per year; (2) a decrease of the annual salary of the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Dan
Hunt, to $90,000 per year from $130,000 per year; and (iii) a decrease of the annual salary of the Company’s Chief
Technology Officer, Lance Galey, to $60,000 per year from $150,000 per year.
In addition to the salary decrease, Mr.
Galey agreed to waive $51,785 in salary which he had earned but deferred payment of in connection with the Board’s approval
of the grant, pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), to Mr. Galey of an 600,000
unvested restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Award”) and unvested options to purchase
up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.51 which will expire ten years from issuance
(the “Option Award”). The Stock Award will vest as follows: (i) 300,000 shares will vest on October 3, 2016 and (i)
50,000 shares will vest on the first day of each month from November 2016 through April 2017. If the Company terminates the employment
of Mr. Galey prior to the full vesting of the Stock Award and Option Award, or in the event of a change of control, merger, or
similar event affecting the Company, all remaining unvested options and shares will vest immediately. The Option Award will vest
as follows: (i) options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock will vest on October 3, 2016 and (ii) options to purchase
up to 50,000 shares of common stock will vest on the first day of each month from November 2016 through April 2017. In addition
to the vesting restrictions, under the 2016 Plan, no shares may be issued pursuant to the Stock Award and no options granted under
the Option Award may be exercised until shareholder approval of the 2016 Plan is effective, which expected to be 40 days following
October 5, 2016, or approximately November 15, 2016.
Item 8.01
Other Events
As previously discussed in the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2016, on September
15, 2016, the Company defaulted on its six month convertible secured promissory notes (the "Notes") that were issued
on March 14, 2016 to certain accredited investors (the “Holders”). The default was due to the fact that it had failed
to pay the outstanding principal amounts which had come due under the Notes on their maturity date.
On October 7, 2016, the Company issued a press release
entitled “MassRoots’ March 2016 Convertible Debt Repaid In Full” which announced that the Company had
completed the repayment to the Holders of all outstanding principal and other amounts due under the Notes. Since the issuance
of the Notes on March 14, 2016, the Company made payment to the Holders of (i) an aggregate of $1,479,298 in cash and (ii)
pursuant to the right of conversion of the Notes, issued an aggregate of 2,377,861 shares of the Company’s common stock
at a conversion price equal to 65% of the average of the three trading days with the lowest daily weighted average prices of
the Company’s common stock occurring during the fifteen days prior to September 14, 2016. The Company believes that it
has completed all of its obligations under the Notes and is no longer in default under the Notes or any related agreements.
The Notes are being retired.
A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit
99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
