Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Qest forbearance, conversion & accommodation agreement

 

Qest Consulting Group, Inc., a Colorado corporation and affiliate of the Registrant (“Qest”) was asked by the Registrant to amend conversion formulas associated with the two 8% Convertible Notes Qest has held since 2016 and with respect to a debt arising from a transaction on November 14, 2016, when, at the Registrant’s request, Qest made available to Union Capital LLC, a New York limited liability company (and, at the time, a holder of the Registrant 8% Convertible Notes in default), 5,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock owned by Qest then valued at $0.0024 per share (a total of $12,000) pursuant to an agreement to treat such transaction as a $12,000 loan to the Registrant yielding interest at the rate then paid for the Registrant’s 8% Convertible Notes (the “Union Capital Loan”). Such interest, as of November 30, 2020, was $10,934.14 (resulting in a total due Qest thereunder of $22,934.14). The balance currently due to Qest under the notes and loans described above is approximately $118,650.18 which would have converted into 2,063,481,394 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock under the conversion formula contained in the 8% Convertible Notes[1]. Noting that Qest had advised the Registrant that conversion at below par value may not be legal, the Registrant asked Qest to agree to accept a fixed number of shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock based on conversion at $0.001 as a result of which, for illustrative purposes, instead of receiving the 2,063,481,394 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock, Qest would have received, it would only receive 118,650,180 shares (approximately 5.75%).

 

Qest is also the holder of 2,366,482 shares of the Registrant’s Class B Convertible Preferred Stock obtained when its principals, Hermann Burckhardt and Thomas Jaspers, who are also principals of the Registrant, agreed to convert approximately $2,241,279 in debt owed to them by the Registrant into such stock, and further, Messrs. Burckhardt and Jaspers agreed to contribute all such Class B Convertible Preferred Stock to Qest in exchange for Qest’s deferral of rights to cash compensation under its current consulting Agreement with the Registrant as previously disclosed in prior reports of current events. With respect thereto, the Registrant requested that Qest agree to a modification in the attributes of its Class B Convertible Preferred Stock so that conversions thereof into shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock would not be undertaken until on and after January 1, 2022. Such request was made so that the Registrant could defer required increases in its authorized capitalization until it is better able to pay initial and ongoing costs associated therewith and the Registrant could be provided with time to develop its proposed business operations in a manner that would better justify the absorption of such securities by the investment community.

 

Qest agreed to such requests but in consideration for the Registrant’s agreement to concurrently amend the certificate of designation for its Class B Convertible Preferred Stock to provide certain antidilutive protections, specifically, that none of the Registrant’s Class B Convertible Preferred Stock be subject to a reduction in number, for example, as a result of a reverse stock split, nor the conversion formula applicable to conversion of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock be affected by any reduction in the number of shares of such Common Stock, for example, as a result of a reverse stock split, without the prior written approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock.

 

 

 

1 Reference is made to disclosure in Item 3.02 concerning the conversion formula heretofore used by holders of the Registrant’s 8% Convertible Notes incorporated herein by reference. 

 

 

Puget Technologies, Inc., current report on Commission Form 8-K, Page 2 (excluding exhibits)

 

 

 

 

In addition to the foregoing, so that recapitalization would not remain open-ended, Qest was granted the irrevocable right to have the Registrant increase its capitalization as required for delivery of the subject securities to Qest at such time as Qest, in its sole discretion sees fit, subject only to provision to the Registrant of ten business days prior written notice. Based on the foregoing, the Registrant agreed to immediately amend the certificate of designation for its Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and the related provisions of its articles of incorporation dealing with the attributes of its Class B Convertible Preferred Stock to effect the foregoing.

 

Agreements with Initial Members of Board of Advisors

 

The response to Item 8.01 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

 

Section 2 - Financial Information

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

The Registrant is continuing to settle its outstanding debt and making arrangements to audit its financial statements in order to prepare and file the reports on forms 10-K and 10-Q due for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019 and 2020. In conjunction therewith, the 8% Convertible Notes payable to Union Capital LLC, a New York limited liability company has been fully paid through conversion into the Registrant’s Common Stock and the related settlement agreement, judgment and court order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Case No. 15-cv-09542 entitled Union Capital LLC v Puget Technologies Inc. and Herman Burckhardt, have all been fully complied with. Additional details are provided in response to Item 3.02 below. As a result of the foregoing, all heretofore pending litigation against the Registrant has been resolved, an essential step, according to Qest, in the Registrant’s plans to eliminate existing problems, to become and maintain current with its Exchange Act reporting obligations and to implement an innovative new business model.

 

Reference is made to disclosure of additional relevant information in Item 1.01 incorporated herein by reference.

 

Section 3 - Securities and Trading Markets

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

As of the date of this report of special event, all of the 8% Convertible Notes have been fully converted except for three with an aggregate current balance due of approximately $130,000 and which to date have received an aggregate of 30,937,044 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock. As indicated in Item 2.02, Union Capital LLC completed conversion of its 8% Convertible Notes on November 17, 2020, converting $32,560.24 in principal and accrued interest into 324,555,374 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock. Additional details are provided in response to Item 2.02 above and email communications between the parties confirming the foregoing are filed as exhibit 99.01 to this current report.

 

The original issuance of the 8% Convertible Notes during 2015, 2016 and 2017 relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Conversion of the 8% Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock has been effected since then in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Subsequent sales of the Common Stock received on conversion have, in some instances, been effected in reliance on Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (as a result of a judgment by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York previously disclosed) or on the provisions of Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act pursuant to the so called Section 4(a)(11/2) exemption.

The following excerpts from the 8% Convertible Notes detail their conversion formula:

 

4. (a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"), at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 57.5% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the fifteen prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price) …. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 47.5% instead of 57.5% while that “Chill” is in effect.

 

(b)       Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 8% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares"). Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

 

7. …. Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day. The penalty for a breach of Section 8(n) shall be an increase of the outstanding principal amounts by 20%. In case of a breach of Section 8(i), the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 50%. If this Note is not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 10%.

 

All of the foregoing default conditions occurred during the past four years and have been applied by holders of the Registrant’s 8% Convertible Notes.
