As previously reported, on May 16, 2019, Cuentas Inc. (the “Company” or “Cuentas”) entered into a term sheet with CIMA Telecom, Inc., a Florida corporation doing business as “CIMA Group” (“CIMA”) (the “Term Sheet”) outlining its License for the technology platforms (the “Platforms”) owned by two of CIMA’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Knetik, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Knetik”), and Auris, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Auris”), respectively. Collectively, the Platforms would provide the back-end software for the Cuentas General Purpose Card and compatibility via application programming interfaces, or APIs, with third party software and the mobile apps. Under the Term Sheet, CIMA will grant the Company a world-wide, perpetual, non-sublicensable license (the “License”) to utilize the Platforms and intellectual properties included in the Platforms for the Financial Technology (“FINTECH”) worldwide vertical markets. The License to be granted shall be exclusive for use within the FINTECH space, which for purposes of the License shall be defined as “connecting banking and prepaid card usage.”

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a series of integrated transactions to license the Platforms from CIMA, through CIMA’s wholly owned subsidiaries Knetik, and Auris (the “Transaction Closing”) pursuant to that certain Platform License Agreement, dated December 31, 2019 by and among (i) the Company, (ii) CIMA, (iii) Knetik and (iv) Auris (the “License Agreement”) and the various other agreements listed below.

 

Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement

 

Contemporaneously with the Transaction Closing, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and CIMA, pursuant to which the Company made and sold to (i) CIMA a 3% convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of $9,000,000 and (ii) (a) CIMA a warrant (the “CIMA Warrant”) , to purchase from the Company an aggregate of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B preferred stock. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions, including indemnification. As a condition to closing, the Company has agreed to take all necessary steps to amend and restate its Articles of Incorporation (the “A&R Articles”) and to amend and restate its Bylaws (the “A&R Bylaws”) and properly file and effect such A&R Articles and A&R Bylaws with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, each as necessary, no later than June 30, 2020.

Contemporaneously with the Transaction Closing, the Company made and sold to CIMA a convertible promissory note (the “CIMA Convertible Promissory Note”) in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Convertible Promissory Note, at any time on or before twelve (12) months after the date of the CIMA Convertible Promissory Note, CIMA may elect in its sole and absolute discretion to convert all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the CIMA Convertible Promissory Note into 25% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company calculated on a fully diluted basis as of December 31, 2019, assuming the conversion, exercise, and exchange of all equity and debt securities of the Company which are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock of the Company, but not including the Warrants.

 

On December 31, 2019, CIMA exercised its option to convert the Convertible Promissory Note into 1,757,478 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which constitutes 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the same date.

The term of the Convertible Note is three years and it may be converted with a discount of 25% on the share price at date of conversion, but in any case, not less than $3 per share. On May 10, 2019 the Company and Optima executed the first Amendment of the Binding Term Sheet with Optima whereas Optima will make an additional deposit of $550,000 to the Company and whereas that additional deposit will be provided to the Company in the form of a Convertible Note as discussed in the Binding Term Sheet.

Under the Subscription Agreement Dinar Zuz LLC made an additional deposit of $250,000 and agreed to provide an additional amount of $1,000,000 to the Company which will be provided in a form of a Convertible Note.

 

On January 3, 2020, Dinar Zuz, LLC (“Dinar”) made an additional deposit of $300,000 in the form of a convertible promissory note (the “Dinar Convertible Note”) pursuant to the Dinar SPA. Additionally, on January 3, 2020, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its Common Stock to Dinar as a result of a conversion of the Dinar Convertible Note in the amount of $300,000.

Pursuant to the Warrants, upon exercise, each of CIMA and Dinar shall be entitled to purchase from the Company, in the aggregate, an amount of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of total outstanding shares of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (taking into account any warrants, options, debt convertible into shares or other rights underlying shares of the Company) as of December 31, 2019; provided, however, that each Warrant shall increase to include 25% of any additional shares (or warrants, options, debt convertible into shares or other rights underlying shares of the Company) of the Company only to the extent such shares are issued in breach of the Voting Agreement (as defined below). Pursuant to their terms, the Warrants are exercisable, in whole and not in part during the term commencing on December 31, 2019 and ending on the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days following the date on which the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Florida or (b) upon a Change of Control, as defined in the Warrants.
