Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On September 20, 2017, Greenwood Hall, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”) pursuant to which the Company issued to Power Up a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $53,000.00.

 

The Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and matures on June 30, 2018. The principal amount and interest accrued on the Note are convertible into common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), in whole or in part, at the option of Power Up, at a price per share equal to 55% multiplied by the Market Price of the Common Stock, representing a discount rate of 45%. The “Market Price” means the lowest closing bid price for the Common Stock during the 25 trading day period immediately preceding the date of conversion of Power Up.

 

The Note was issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In determining that the issuance of the Note qualified for an exemption under Rule 506 of Regulation D, the Company relied on the following facts: (i) the purchaser of the Note was an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and (ii) the Company did not use any form of general solicitation or advertising to offer the Note.

 

The foregoing summary of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
