Item 2.03Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On October 19, 2020, Defense Technologies International Corp. finalized an Additional Issuance Agreement, a new funding agreement whereby the company received $250,000.00 evidenced by a convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) due January 1, 2022. The Debenture, in the principal amount of $272,500.00, carries an interest rate of 8% per annum and includes an original issue discount of $12,500.00 and transaction expenses of $10,000.00.
The Debenture is convertible, beginning the earlier of (i) six months after issuance of the Debenture and (ii) notice of redemption by the company, into shares of DTII common stock at the initial conversion price of $0.50 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment on the first trading day of each calendar quarter commencing on April 1, 2021. On each quarterly adjustment date, the conversion price will be reset to the lower of (i) the then prevailing conversion price and (ii) the average of the 5 day VWAPs immediately prior to the reset date. VWAP means the daily volume weighted average price of DTII common stock on The Pink Sheets.
In the event the company effects a reverse stock split of its common stock, the conversion price of the Debenture will be adjusted to the lower of (i) the then prevailing conversion price immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse split, and (ii) the average of the 5 day VWAPs immediately following the effectiveness of the reverse split.
The Debenture holder will not have the right to convert any portion of the Debenture if, giving effect to the conversion, the holder and/or any of its affiliates together, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common shares of DTII. The holder, upon notice to the company, may increase or decrease this limitation, provided the limitation percentage in no event exceeds 9.99% of number of DTII shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares upon conversion held by the holder.
The company has the right at any time to redeem the Debenture after giving a twenty trading day notice of redemption to the holder. The redemption amount will equal the sum of (i) 140% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, (ii) accrued but unpaid interest, and (iii) any liquidated damages and all other amounts that may be due under the Debenture. Upon a redemption notice by the company, the Debenture holder shall have the right to convert the Debenture into DTII common stock at the prevailing conversion price.
Concurrent with execution of the Additional Issuance Agreement, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, whereby purchasers of the Debenture will be given certain registration rights. Per the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, within thirty days of the date of the Debenture the company is obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture. The registration rights also include shares issuable under a previous debenture issued on January 13, 2020 and referenced in the Additional Issuance Agreement.

On October 21,2020, the company issued a press release to announce the funding, a copy of which is include herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
