Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 19, 2022 (the "Closing Date"), Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (the
"Company") closed a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), by and
among the Company, its subsidiaries (Recruiter.com, Inc., Recruiter.com
Recruiting Solutions, LLC, Recruiter.com Consulting, LLC, VocaWorks, Inc.,
Recruiter.com Scouted, Inc., Recruiter.com Upsider, Inc., and Recruiter.com -
OneWire, Inc.), and Montage Capital II, L.P. (the "Lender"). Pursuant to the
Loan Agreement, the Lender will make advances ("Advances") in the aggregate
principal amount of $2,250,000, with the first Advance of $2,000,000 being
provided on or around the Closing Date and the second Advance of $250,000 being
available to the Company upon request prior to April 30, 2023.
Interest will accrue on all Advances under the Loan Agreement at a per annum
rate of 12.75%. In the event of a default under the terms of the Loan Agreement,
the interest rate increases by 5 percentage points above the interest rate in
effect immediately prior to a default. The entire outstanding principal balance
of the Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all fees and other
amounts outstanding thereunder will be immediately due and payable on the 42nd
month anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Maturity Date").
In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company granted and pledged to the
Lender a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter
acquired or arising Collateral (as more specifically defined in the Loan
Agreement) which includes all personal property of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative
covenants to which the Company is also subject.
The Company agreed to pay the Lender a fee of $45,600, with $40,000 due upon the
execution of the Loan Agreement and the balance due upon the funding of the
second Advance. The Company is permitted to prepay any amounts due to the
Lender; provided, however, that a Prepayment Fee (as more specifically defined
in the Loan Agreement) shall be owed to the Lender depending on when the amounts
are prepaid.
In addition, in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued 706,551
warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrants") to the Lender,
with 622,803 Warrants becoming exercisable upon the Closing Date and the
additional 83,708 Warrants becoming exercisable upon funding of the second
Advance. The Warrants are exercisable for ten years from the Closing Date at an
exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Upon the
earlier of the Maturity Date or a sale of the Company or other change in
control, the Lender has the right to cause the Company to repurchase the
Warrants for up to $703,125 ($600,000 if only the first Advance has been made
and $703,125 if both Advances have been made). The Company is also obligated to
pay the Lender a cash fee equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Advances that is outstanding on each anniversary of the Closing Date if (i)
the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the thirty (30) day
period prior to such anniversary date is less than $2.00 or (ii) the closing
price of the Company's common stock for the date immediately prior to such
anniversary date is less than $2.00.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy the Warrants, nor shall there be any sale of the
Warrants in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful.
The Warrants were sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The
Lender is an accredited investor who has purchased the securities as an
investment in a private placement that did not involve a general
solicitation. The shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants have not
been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the
United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption
from the registration requirements. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall
there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Warrants, the Loan Agreement, and
the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant and the
Loan Agreement, in each case which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report
on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
