Item 3.02

Unregitered Sale of Equity Securities
|
GBT Technologies Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a series of loan agreements with Stanley Hills LLC (“Stanley”) pursuant to which
it received more than $1,000,000 in loans (the “Debt”) since May 2019 up to December 2019. On February 26, 2020, in
order to induce Stanley to continue to provide funding, the Company and Stanley entered into a letter agreement providing that
the Debt may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 85% multiplied by the lowest
one trading price for the common stock during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the
conversion date. Stanley has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Debt and receive shares of common stock such that
the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does
not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
On February 27,
2019, the Company issued Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $2,325,000 (the “Iliad
Note”), due in one year. On February 27, 2020, the Company and Iliad entered to an Amendment to the Iliad Note pursuant to
which the maturity date of the Iliad Note was extended to August 27, 2020, provided that the Debt may be converted into shares
of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 80% multiplied by the lowest trading daily VWAP for the common stock
during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date, provided for the payment
by the Company to Iliad of an extension fee equal to 7.5% of the outstanding balance of the Iliad Note resulting in a new balance
of the Iliad Note of $2,765,983 and provided that the Company’s failure to deliver shares of common stock within three trading
days of a conversion would result in an event of default. Iliad has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Iliad Note
and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates
after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The
offer, sale and issuance of the above securities was made to an accredited investor and the Company relied upon the exemptions
contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated there under
with regard to the sale. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offer and sales were
made to an accredited investor and transfer of the common stock will be restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing description
of the terms of the above transactions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions
of such agreements, the forms of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On
February 27, 2020 GBT Technologies, S.A., as successor in interest to Hermes Roll, LLC had notified the Company that it was in
default on its Amended and Restated Territorial License Agreement (“ARTLA”) dated June 15, 2015 and that the ARTLA
had been cancelled and rescinded;
On January 31, 2020, in
the arbitration, GBT Technologies Inc. (k/n/a Gopher Protocol, Inc. v. Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“Discover”) (JAMS
Ref. No. 1260005395), the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award
affirms that certain sections of the Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) constitute
unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that neither Discover nor John Kirkland,
President and General Partner of Discover, were entitled to recovery of their attorneys fees. Consequently, and consistent with
the expectations of the Company, the arbitrator awarded Discover an award of $4,034,444.46 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from
May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount of $55,613.00.
On February 18, 2020, the
Company filed a motion with the United States District Court District of Nevada (the “Nevada Court”) to confirm the
Final Award and a motion to consolidate Discover’s application to confirm the Final Award filed in the U.S. District Court
of the Virgin Islands (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM) (the “Virgin Island Court”). On February 27, 2020, the Nevada
Court denied the Company’s motion to confirm the Final Award and motion to consolidate and further decided that the confirmation
of the Final Award should be litigated in the Virgin Island Court.
As such, on February 27,
2020, the Company filed a Notice of Entry of Order as well as a Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award; Address the Outstanding
issue regarding whether Discover’s rights are subordinated to other creditors and, thereafter, oversee a commercially reasonable
foreclosure sale (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM). It is the Company’s position that the Final Award must first be confirmed
and all questions regarding the rights of Discover relative to those of other creditors must be determined before any foreclosure
sale can proceed. It is further the position of the Company that the previously disclosed foreclosure sale scheduled by Discover
is being conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner and that if Discover proceeded forward with the foreclosure sale it did
so at its own risk.
Nevertheless, on February
28, 2020, Discover advised that it conducted a sale of the Company’s assets.
