Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement and Security Agreement

 

On April 23, 2015, AllDigital Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Philip N. Kaplan pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $150,000 in principal of its 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) to Mr. Kaplan for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000. On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Morris Cottle, Trustee of the Ralph Wanger 2001 Family Irrevocable Perpetuities Trust (the “Wanger Trust”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $100,000 in principal of its Notes to the Wanger Trust for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. Morris Cottle, in his capacity as trustee of the Wanger Trust, has sole voting and dispositive power over the securities held by the Wanger Trust. In connection with the sale of the Notes, Mr. Kaplan and the Wanger Trust became parties to a Security Agreement between certain holders of the Notes and Richard P. Stevens, II, as collateral agent (“Security Agreement”). The aggregate gross proceeds of $250,000, less expenses, have been allocated to general corporate purposes.

 

The Notes are convertible into an aggregate of up to 1,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Notes have a maturity date of December 31, 2016 (“Maturity Date”). The Notes will bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum payable quarterly on the fifth (5th) day after the last business day of each calendar quarter. After the Maturity Date, and until the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Notes has been paid, the Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.0% per month. The outstanding principal under the Notes is convertible at any time prior to repayment, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations. All accrued interest on the Notes shall be paid in cash upon any conversion of the Notes. The Notes are secured under the terms of the Security Agreement by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets.

 

The issuance and sale of the Notes were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, among others, as transactions not involving a public offering. This exemption was claimed on the basis that these transactions did not involve any public offering and the purchasers in each offering were accredited or sophisticated and had sufficient access to the kind of information registration would provide. In each case, appropriate investment representations were obtained and the Notes were and the certificates evidencing any shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Notes will be issued with restrictive legends. Each of the investors were given adequate access to sufficient information about the Company to make an informed investment decision.
