(d) “Offering” shall mean the closing of a transaction in which the Issuer sells and issues up to $1,000,000 in Equity Securities, whether in a private or public offering, occurring on or after December 31, 2019.
3.2 Conversion at the Option of the Holder. At any time upon the consummation of the Offering and before the Maturity Date, the Holder, at Holder’s option and upon five (5) days prior written notice to the Issuer (“Conversion Notice”), may convert in whole or in part the outstanding Obligation into a number of shares of the Equity Securities calculated by dividing (x) the Obligations under the Promissory Note, by (y) an amount equal to the Equity Securities Conversion Price.
