Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On June 28, 2022, Grove, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors pursuant to which the Company received $7,500,000, less fees and costs, from the investors in consideration for the issuance by the Company to the investors of Convertible Notes in the original principal amount of $7,500,000 (the “Convertible Notes”). In addition to the Convertible Notes, the investors received Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of 56,250 shares of common stock. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $4.44 per share, provide for customary anti-dilution protection, and an investor put right to require the Company to redeem the Warrants for a total of $250,000. The Company has the option until June 28, 2023, to draw down up to an additional $7,500,000 of Convertible Notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement to provide financing for acquisitions, pursuant to certain underwriting conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company is subject to customary covenants, financial and otherwise, under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

The Convertible Notes, have a 3 year term, an original interest discount of 2% withheld on the issuance date, and bear cash interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum with an additional paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest of 3.5% per annum. The Convertible Notes provide for monthly payments of principal, on an even line 36 month basis, plus cash interest, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal, cash interest, and PIK interest at maturity. The Convertible Notes are convertible in shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $7.06 per share. The Convertible Notes contain customary events of default and anti-dilution provisions.

 

The investors agreed to restrict their ability to convert their Convertible Notes and exercise the Warrants and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by each investor after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock, subject to the right to increase said limit to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.

 

The Convertible Notes are secured by the grant of a first priority lien on all assets of the Company and its significant subsidiaries, as well as the unconditional guaranty of the significant subsidiaries.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into concurrently with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form) providing for the resale by the investors of the shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes and the Warrants within 45 days of the closing date.

 

The offer, sale and issuance of the above securities was made in reliance upon the exemptions contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

Promissory Note

 

Concurrent with the closing of the transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement set forth above, the Company received $1,500,000 from Allan Marshall, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in consideration for the issuance by the Company to Mr. Marshall of a promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,500,000. The promissory note has a 3 year term and bears cash interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum with an additional PIK of 3.5% per annum. The promissory note provides for monthly payments of principal, on an even line 36 month basis, plus cash interest, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal, cash interest, and PIK interest at maturity.

 

The offer, sale and issuance of the above security was made in reliance upon the exemptions contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
