Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange

On May 20, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Edison Nation, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with PPE Brickell Supplies, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“PPE”), and Graphene Holdings, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Graphene”, and together with PPE, the “Sellers”), whereby the Company purchased 25 membership units of Global Clean Supplies, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Global”) from each of PPE and Graphene, for a total of fifty (50) units, representing fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding units of Global (the “Purchase Units”). The Company issued 250,000 shares of its restricted common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) to PPE, and 50,000 shares of Common Stock to Graphene, in consideration for the Purchase Units.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Sellers may earn additional shares of Common Stock upon Global realizing the following revenue targets: (i) In the event that Global’s total orders equal or exceed $1,000,000, Graphene shall receive 200,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii) In the event that Global’s total orders equal or exceed $10,000,000, PPE shall receive 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock; and (iii) In the event that Global’s total orders equal or exceed $25,000,000, Graphene shall receive 125,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. Additionally, the Company shall be entitled to appoint two managers to the Board of Managers of Global.

Amended Limited Liability Company Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into an Amended Limited Liability Company Agreement of Global (the “Amended LLC Agreement”). The Amended LLC Agreement amends the original Limited Liability Company Agreement of Global, dated May 13, 2020. The Amended LLC defines the operating rules of Global and the ownership percentage of each member: Edison Nation, Inc. 50%, PPE 25% and Graphene 25%.

Secured Line of Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company (as “Guarantor”) entered into a Secured Line of Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Global and PPE. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, PPE is to make available to Global a revolving credit loan in a principal aggregate amount at any one time not to exceed $2,500,000. Upon each drawdown of funds against the credit line, Global shall issue a Promissory Note (the “Note”) to PPE. The Note shall accrue interest at 3% per annum and have a maturity date of six (6) months. In the event of a default, any and all amounts due to PPE by Global, including principal and accrued but unpaid interest, shall increase by forty (40%) percent and the interest shall increase to five (5%) percent (the “Default Interest”).

Security Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company (as “Guarantor”) entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Global (as “Borrower”) and PPE (as “Secured Party”), whereby the Company placed 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Reserve Shares”) in reserve with its transfer agent in the event of default under the Credit Agreement. In the event of a default that is not cured by the defined cure period, the PPE may liquidate the Reserve Shares until the Global’s principal, interest and associated expenses are recovered. The number of Reserve Shares may be increased through the issuance of True-Up shares in the event the original number of Reserve Shares is insufficient.

Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K contains only a brief description of the material terms of the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Share Exchange Agreement, and the Amended LLC Agreement, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Share Exchange Agreement, and the Amended LLC Agreement, attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03

Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The discussion of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. The Commitment Shares were not registered under the Securities Act but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D 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. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the investor agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
