On February 25, 2020, Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Leonite Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Leonite”) to provide the Company with additional funding to conduct its business. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued to Leonite a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $544,425.09 at an original issue discount of $44,425.09.

The consideration for the Note can be paid in one or more tranches. The first tranche, in the principal amount of $217,779.07 at an original issue discount of $17,779.07, was received by the Company on February 26, 2020. The remainder of the tranches shall be distributed at Leonite’s sole discretion.

In addition, the Company issued to Leonite 450,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 900,000 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the SPA.

Leonite is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The offer, issue, and sale of securities are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act, and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Leonite was granted piggy back registration rights as to the common shares and all the underlying securities.

Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note

Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company delivered the Note to Leonite for the principal sum of $544,425.09, together with interest at the rate of 10.2% per annum. The consideration for the entire Note is $500,000. At the closing of the initial tranche, the outstanding principal amount under the Note was $217,779.07, consisting of the initial consideration of $200,000 plus $17,779.07 of original issue discount. The maturity date is 18 months from the date of issue. The principal sum, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees shall be due and payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Note. The Note may be prepaid as set forth in the Note. Any amount of principal or interest on the Note, which is not paid by the maturity date, shall bear interest at the rate of 24% per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid.

Leonite shall have the right at any time after six months of the issuance date of the Note, at its option, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.09 per share. The conversion price shall be subject to a one-time repricing 180 days after the closing. The repricing will be based on the lower of (i) the unadjusted conversion price, and (ii) the lowest volume weighted average price, or VWAP, of the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the repricing date, but in any case, to not less than $0.02 per share.

The Note is a senior secured obligation of the Company, with priority over all future indebtedness of the Company. The obligations of the Company under the Note are secured pursuant to the terms of the Security and Pledge Agreement.

In addition, the Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five (5) times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note. For the initial tranche, the Company has reserved 25,000,000 shares of common stock with its transfer agent.
