Item 3.02 Sale of Unregistered Securities.

 

As previously reported, the Company sold to Discover Growth Fund (“Discover”) 500 shares of its new series of preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), which were initially convertible into an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustments. Between February 26, 2020 and March 19, 2020, the Company received notices of conversion from Discover to convert an aggregate of 25 shares of Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $10,000 per share, into an aggregate of 24,758,573 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion”). On February 27, 2020, March 9, 2020, March 16, 2020 and March 19, 2020, the Company effected the Conversion and issued to Discover an aggregate of 24,758,573 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes greater than 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

The issuances of the shares of Common Stock were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. All of the securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2).

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 24, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, applicable regulations restricting economic activities and the expected dramatic effects and uncertainty, OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (the “Company”) decided to initiate cross-cutting, streamlining and savings procedures, including the decision to put the company’s employee on unpaid furlough, to offer key employees a transition from the employment framework to a consulting agreement other than Messrs. Ohad and Riterband. The Company stated that it would seek to minimize the long-term impact of the move and to allow for restarting operations should circumstances, permit.
