Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On
April 28, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Vape Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
closed the transactions described below with Kyle Tracey (“Tracey”) and HIVE Ceramics, LLC (“HIVE”). The
Company, HIVE and Tracey may be collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” All capitalized terms used herein,
if not otherwise defined, will be as defined in the Settlement Agreement and Release, including all Exhibits thereto, attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Settlement
Agreement and Release
The
HIVE Obligations
. On or about February 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with HIVE by which the Company acquired
certain assets from HIVE (the “HIVE Assets”). In conjunction with the purchase of the HIVE Assets and a subsequent
funding by Tracey, the Company entered into two Convertible Promissory Notes held by HIVE (the “HIVE Notes”), one
for $250,000 and one for $50,000 for a total of $300,000 in principal (the “HIVE Obligations”). The HIVE Obligations
were secured by the HIVE Assets.
The
Tracey Obligations
. Tracey has asserted that the Company owes him, personally, approximately $200,000.00 which obligations
were represented by lines of credit obtained by various affiliates of HIVE, monies owed to IP licensees, as well as monies owed
in royalties pursuant to a consulting agreement between Vape and Tracey (the “Tracey Obligations”).
Prior
to entering in the Settlement Agreement and Release described herein, HIVE and Tracey alleged that the Company breached its obligations
under the HIVE Obligations as well as the Tracey Obligations. In order to resolve all differences between the Parties and without
any admissions, the Parties entered into the following Settlement Agreement and Release:
Consideration
to HIVE
. As consideration to HIVE for the HIVE Obligations and for a full and complete release of all claims against the Company,
the Company agreed to provide the following:
1. The
Company agreed to use its best efforts to arrange for the purchase and/or assignment of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.000)
of the HIVE Notes in exchange for One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000.00).
2. The
balance of the HIVE Notes (i.e., Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00)) shall be restated in a Convertible Promissory Note
(the “Restated HIVE Note”) in the principal amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) with the same general
terms and conditions as the HIVE Notes but with a term of one (1) year and the principal amount of the Restated HIVE Note shall
be convertible, at the option of Tracey, into common stock of the Company at $.001 per share. The Company also agreed to use its
best efforts to establish, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Effective Date, a share reserve with the Company’s
Transfer Agent in an amount equal to or greater than the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory
Note referenced herein.
Consideration
to Tracey
. As consideration to Tracey for the Tracey Obligations and a full and complete release of all claims against the
Company, the Company agreed to provide the following:
1. A
Convertible Promissory Note attached as Exhibit B to the Settlement Agreement and Release attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (the
“Tracey Note”) in the principal amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) with a term of one (1)
year from the date of execution by the Company. The Tracey Note carries no interest. The principal amount of the Tracey Note is
convertible, at the option of Tracey, into common stock of the Company at $.001 per share. The Company will also use its best
efforts to establish, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Effective Date, a share reserve with the Company’s Transfer
Agent in an amount equal to or greater than the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note referenced
herein
2. As
to Tracey Obligations that are reflected on the Company’s books and records as the Company’s debts that Tracey personally
guaranteed during the time he was a Company officer and/or director, the Company agreed that until paid in full, the Company would
pay a minimum of Seven Thousand Dollars ($7,000.00) per month toward those obligations.
The
foregoing descriptions of the HIVE/Tracey Settlement Agreement and Release documents are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the full text of the agreements, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated
by reference into this Item 1.01.
