Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Conversion of Parrut Promissory Note
On March 27, 2024, Recruiter.com Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company) authorized and consented to the conversion of a portion of the outstanding Promissory Note (the "Note") originally issued to Parrut, Inc. under the terms of the acquisition agreement dated July 7, 2021. The Note, in its original principal amount of One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars ($1,750,000), has been partially converted into equity pursuant to the terms of a Consent to Conversion and Notice of Conversion attached as Exhibit 2.1.
The Company and Parrut, Inc. agreed to the conversion of the remainder of the Note, in the amount of Two Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Four United States Dollars and Fifty-Three Cents ($245,884.53) into 168,414 shares of the Company's common stock. This conversion represents a conversion price of $1.46 per share. The agreed-upon conversion has been made in full satisfaction of the specified amount of the Note, including accrued interest and penalties to date, with no other amounts due.
The shares of common stock issued in connection with this conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The issuance does not involve a public offering of securities, as the recipient is familiar with the Company's operations and financial condition, and there is no general solicitation or advertising for the securities issued.
Amendment to GoLogiq Technology License and Commercialization Agreement
On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into a certain Technology License and Commercialization Agreement (the “GOLQ Licensing Agreement”) with GoLogiq, Inc. (“GOLQ”) whereby GOLQ grants the Company a worldwide, exclusive license (the “GOLQ License”) to the Company to develop its fintech technology (the “GOLQ Technology”) and sell products derived thereof, including its Createapp, Paylogiq, Gologiq, and Radix AI technology and products (the “Licensed Products”), for a term of 10 years, with automatic two (2) year renewals as further described therein (the “Term”).
On March 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and GOLQ entered into an Amendment to Technology License and Commercialization Agreement (the “Amendment”). Under the Amendment, the Company and GOLQ agreed to and added Section 3.3 to further detail technical assistance from GOLQ to the Company. In addition, Section 5.1 was amended such that the royalty was lowered from eight percent (8%) to five percent (5%) for which the Company granted to GOLQ a warrant to purchase two hundred ninety-two thousand (292,000) shares of Company Common Stock (the “Warrant”) for a price equal to $0.01 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Warrant may be exercised at any time commencing upon the date that is six (6) months from the Effective Date and terminating at 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the closing sale price for the common stock of the Company has closed at or above $5.00 for ten consecutive trading days. Further, the Amendment contains a blocker provision that limits shares issuable under the Warrant such that the shares beneficially owned by GOLQ does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). Detailed terms can be found pursuant to the Amendment attached as Exhibit 2.2.
