GUERRILLA RF, INC. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.3
CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of July 12, 2023, is entered into among GUERRILLA RF, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the persons and entities (each individually a "Purchaser," and collectively, the "Purchasers") named on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto (as the same may be updated from time to time, the "Schedule of Purchasers").
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company wishes to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers wish to purchase from the Company, one or more convertible promissory notes in exchange for the consideration (the "Consideration") set forth opposite each Purchaser's name on the Schedule of Purchasers.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings set forth in this Section 1.
1.1 "Common Stock" means the Company's common stock, par value $.0001.
1.2 "Conversion Shares" (for purposes of determining the type of Equity Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes) means:
(a) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.1, shares of the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing;
(b) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.2, shares of Common Stock; and
(c) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.3, shares of Common Stock.
1.3 "Conversion Price" means:
(a) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.1, the lowest per share purchase price of the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing;
(b) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.2, Six and No/100 Dollars ($6.00) per share of Common Stock; and
(c) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.3, Six and No/100 Dollars ($6.00) per share of Common Stock.
1.4 "Corporate Transaction" means:
(a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Company’s material intellectual property;
(b) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the capital stock of the Company or the surviving or acquiring entity immediately following the consummation of such transaction); or
(c) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in a single transaction or series of related transactions, to a "person" or "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) of the Company's capital stock if, after such closing, such person or group would become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving or acquiring entity).
For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a "Corporate Transaction" if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company's incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company's securities immediately prior to such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale of Equity Securities in a bona fide financing transaction will not be deemed a "Corporate Transaction."
1.5 "Equity Securities" means (a) Common Stock; (b) any securities conferring the right to purchase Common Stock; or (c) any securities directly or indirectly convertible into, or exchangeable for (with or without additional consideration) Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not be considered "Equity Securities": (i) any security granted, issued or sold by the Company to any director, officer, employee, consultant or adviser of the Company for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services; (ii) any convertible promissory notes (including the Notes) issued by the Company; and (iii) any SAFEs issued by the Company.
1.6 "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
1.7 "Maturity Date" means, with respect to each Note issued under this Agreement, December 31, 2024.
1.8 "Next Equity Financing" means the next sale (or series of related sales) by the Company of its Equity Securities following the date of this Agreement with the principal purpose of raising capital and from which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds (i.e. prior to commissions, fees and other closing costs) of not less than Two Million and No/100 US Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes).
1.9 "Notes" means the one or more promissory notes issued to each Purchaser pursuant to Section 2, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
1.10 "Requisite Noteholders" means the holders of a majority-in-interest of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.
1.11 "SAFE" means any simple agreement for future equity (or other similar agreement) that is issued by the Company for bona fide financing purposes and that may convert into the Company's capital stock in accordance with its terms.
1.12 "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
2. Purchase and Sale of Notes. In exchange for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser, the Company will sell and issue to such Purchaser one or more Notes. Each Note will have a principal balance equal to that portion of the Consideration paid by such Purchaser for such Note, as set forth opposite such Purchaser's name on the Schedule of Purchasers.
3. Closings.
3.1 Initial Closing. The initial closing of the sale of the Notes in return for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser (the "Initial Closing") will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the date of this Agreement, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Purchasers purchasing a majority-in-interest of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be sold at the Initial Closing agree upon orally or in writing. At the Initial Closing, each Purchaser will deliver the Consideration to the Company, and the Company will deliver to each Purchaser one or more executed Notes in return for the respective Consideration provided to the Company.
3.2 Subsequent Closings. In any subsequent closing (each a "Subsequent Closing"), the Company may sell additional Notes subject to the terms of this Agreement to any purchaser as it will select. Any subsequent purchasers of Notes will become parties to, and will be entitled to receive Notes in accordance with, this Agreement. Each Subsequent Closing will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures or at such locations and at such times as will be mutually agreed upon orally or in writing by the Company and such purchasers of additional Notes. The Schedule of Purchasers will be updated to reflect the additional Notes purchased at each Subsequent Closing and the parties purchasing such additional Notes.
4. Conversion. Each Note will be convertible into Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 4.
4.1 Next Equity Financing Conversion. The principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on each Note will automatically convert into Conversion Shares upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its option and in its sole discretion, pay any unpaid accrued interest on each Note in cash at the time of conversion. The number of Conversion Shares the Company issues upon such conversion will equal the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest under each converting Note on a date that is no more than five (5) days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing/the date of conversion by (y) the applicable Conversion Price. At least five (5) days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing, the Company will notify the holder of each Note in writing of the terms of the Equity Securities that are expected to be issued in such financing. The issuance of Conversion Shares pursuant to the conversion of each Note will be on, and subject to, the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing.
4.2 Corporate Transaction Conversion. In the event of a Corporate Transaction prior to the conversion of a Note pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 or the repayment of such Note, at the closing of such Corporate Transaction, the holder of each Note may elect that either: (a) the Company will pay the holder of such Note an amount equal to the sum of (x) all accrued and unpaid interest due on such Note and (y) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount due with respect to such Note; or (b) such Note will convert into that number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of such Note on a date that is no more than five (5) days prior to the closing of such Corporate Transaction/the date of conversion by (y) the applicable Conversion Price.
4.3 Maturity Conversion. At any time on or after the Maturity Date but prior to the date the Note is paid by the Company, at the election of the holder thereof, such holder’s Note will convert into that number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of such Note on the date of such conversion by (y) the applicable Conversion Price.
4.4 Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) Financing Agreements. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the conversion of the Notes into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4.1 may require such Purchaser's execution of certain agreements relating to the purchase and sale of the Conversion Shares (e.g. an agreement addressing registration rights), if any, relating to such securities (collectively, the "Financing Agreements"). Each Purchaser agrees to execute all of the Financing Agreements in connection with a Next Equity Financing.
(b) Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of each Note and the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Company (at its expense) will issue and deliver to the holder thereof a correct copy of the Company's share register reflecting the Conversion Shares held by such holder. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the holder of such Note has surrendered the Note to the Company (or provided an instrument of cancellation or affidavit of loss). The conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 may be made contingent upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing and Corporate Transaction, respectively.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:
5.1 Due Organization; Qualification and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
5.2 Authorization and Enforceability. Except for the authorization and issuance of the Conversion Shares, all corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company and its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes. Except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, the Company has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Company reflected in the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms.
6. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
6.1 Authorization. Each Purchaser has full power and authority (and, if such Purchaser is an individual, the capacity) to enter into this Agreement and to perform all obligations required to be performed by it hereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by each Purchaser, will constitute such Purchaser's valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
6.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Each Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement is made with such Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser's representation to the Company, which such Purchaser confirms by executing this Agreement, that the Notes, the Conversion Shares, and (if applicable) any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Shares (collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent (unless otherwise specified on such Purchaser's signature page hereto), and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Securities. If other than an individual, each Purchaser also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
6.3 Disclosure of Information; Non-Reliance. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to enable it to make an informed decision concerning an investment in the Securities. Each Purchaser further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Each Purchaser confirms that the Company has not given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Securities. In deciding to purchase the Securities, each Purchaser is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and such Purchaser has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for such Purchaser. Each Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Securities or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.
6.4 Investment Experience. Each Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.
6.5 Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities.
6.6 Restricted Securities. Each Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of each Purchaser's representations as expressed herein. Further, each Purchaser understands that the Securities that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Notes have not been, and may not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of each Purchaser's representations as expressed herein. Each Purchaser understands that the Notes and, if not registered by the Company, any Securities issued pursuant to the terms of the Notes are "restricted securities" under U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and registered or qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale and further acknowledges that, if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of such Purchaser's control, and which the Company is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.
6.7 No Public Market. Each Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Notes and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for Notes or the Securities that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Notes.
6.8 No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners have not either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder solicited offers for or offered or sold the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other person offered to sell the Securities to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
6.9 Residence. If the Purchaser is an individual, such Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address shown on such Purchaser's signature page hereto. If the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, such Purchaser's principal place of business is located in the state or province identified in the address shown on such Purchaser's signature page hereto.
6.10 Foreign Investors. If a Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, conversion, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. Each such Purchaser's subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of such Purchaser's jurisdiction.

No. CN-[NUMBER] |
[_____________], 2023 |
|
US$[PRINCIPAL AMOUNT] |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GUERRILLA RF, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to the order of [PURCHASER NAME] (the "Holder"), the principal sum of US$[PRINCIPAL AMOUNT], together with interest thereon from the date of this Note. Interest will accrue at a simple rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Unless earlier converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4 of that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated July 12, 2023, by and among the Company, the Holder and the other parties thereto (the "Purchase Agreement"), the principal and accrued interest of this Note will be due and payable by the Company at any time on or after the Maturity Date at the Company's election or upon demand by the Holder.
This Note is one of a series of Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Payment. All payments will be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment will be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, with any remainder applied to principal. Prepayment of principal, together with accrued interest, may not be made without the written consent of the Holder, except in the event of a Corporate Transaction (as set forth in Section 4.2(a) of the Purchase Agreement).
2. Security. This Note is a general unsecured obligation of the Company.
3. Priority. This Note is subordinated in right of payment to all current and future indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money (whether or not such indebtedness is secured) to banks, commercial finance lenders or other institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money (the "Senior Debt"). By accepting this Note, the Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees, that so long as any Senior Debt is outstanding, upon notice from the holders of such Senior Debt (the "Senior Creditors") to the Company that an event of default, or any event which the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an event of default, has occurred under the terms of the Senior Debt (a "Default Notice"), the Company may not be permitted to make, and in such event the Holder will not receive or retain, any payment under this Note. Nothing in this paragraph will preclude or prohibit the Holder from receiving and retaining any payment hereunder unless and until the Holder has received a Default Notice (which will be effective until waived in writing by the Senior Creditors) or from converting this Note or any amounts due hereunder into Equity Securities.
4. Conversion of the Notes. This Note and any amounts due hereunder will be convertible into Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement.
5. Amendments and Waivers; Resolutions of Dispute; Notice. The amendment or waiver of any term of this Note, the resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Note and the provision of notice among the Company and the Holder will be governed by the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
6. Successors and Assigns. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Company may not assign its obligations under this Note without the written consent of the Requisite Noteholders. Any transfer of this Note may be effected only pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and by surrender of this Note to the Company and reissuance of a new note to the transferee. The Holder and any subsequent holder of this Note receives this Note subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, and agrees to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions for the benefit of the Company and any other Purchasers (or their respective successors or assigns).
7. Officers and Directors not Liable. In no event will any officer or director of the Company be liable for any amounts due and payable pursuant to this Note.
8. Limitation on Interest.
