Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 13, 2023, Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) entered into four separate vendor liability conversion agreements (the “Vendor Liability Conversion Agreements”) with four of the Company’s vendors. Pursuant to the Vendor Liability Conversion Agreements, an aggregate of $1,800,000 of the service fees due to the vendors have been converted into an aggregate of 450,000 shares Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) based upon a conversion price of $4.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company satisfied aggregate vendor liabilities of $1,800,000 in exchange for the issuance of 450,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

As previously disclosed, on February 15, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”) to Mountain Crest Global Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”). Pursuant to the Note, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate amount of $300,000 that is due and payable upon the Company’s consummation of an initial business combination with a target business. The Note would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, converted into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. On September 13, 2023, as approved by the Company’s audit committee, the Company entered into a note conversion agreement (the “Note Conversion Agreement”) with the Sponsor, to convert the Note into 75,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company satisfied the Note in exchange for the issuance of 75,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

Pursuant to the Vendor Liability Conversion Agreements and the Note Conversion Agreement, the vendors and the Sponsor have (i) one demand registration of the sale of such shares at the Company’s expense, and (ii) unlimited “piggyback” registration rights, both for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Company’s initial business combination at the Company’s expense.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Vendor Liability Conversion Agreements and the Note Conversion Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Vendor Liability Conversion Agreements and the Note Conversion Agreement, which filed as Exhibits 10.1 to 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. On September 18, 2023, an aggregate of 525,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock has been issued pursuant to the Vendor Liability Conversion Agreements and the Note Conversion Agreement, in full payment and satisfaction of aggregate vendor liabilities of $1,800,000 and the Note in the principal amount of $300,000. The Company has relied upon Sections 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the conversion, as the shares were issued to sophisticated investors without a view to distribution, and were not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is for informational purposes only and is not intended to and shall not constitute a proxy statement or the solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of an initial business combination or PIPE financing and is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for any securities or a solicitation of any vote of approval, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Conversion of the Liability into the Shares. The Company and the Holder acknowledge, agree, represent, warrant and covenant to each other as follows:

b. The Liability and the debt shall be fully and wholly satisfied and extinguished, and the Liability shall be canceled and of no further force or effect, and neither Holder, nor any person or entity claiming under, through or by right of Holder, nor any successor, assignee or other party, shall make any further claim against the Company relating to or arising out of the Liability.

 

 

 

 

2. Registration Rights. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that with respect to the Shares, the Holder or its assignee or transferee will have the following registration rights: (i) one demand registration of the sale of the Shares at the Company’s expense, and (ii) unlimited “piggyback” registration rights, both for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Company’s initial business combination at the Company’s expense.

 

3. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a) The Holder has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the Holder’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(b) The Holder is the sole owner of the Liability being delivered to the Company as consideration for the issuance of the Shares. The Liability is being delivered to the Company free and clear of any and all liens, charges, encumbrances, security agreements, pledge agreements, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof.

 

(c) Own Investment. Holder confirms that the Common Stock will be acquired for investment for such Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

 

(d) Accredited Investor. The Holder understands that the Shares to be issued to the Holder have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under the Securities Act.

 

(e) Knowledge and Experience. Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Common Stock, and Holder can bear the economic risk of such investment and is able, without impairing Holder’s financial condition, to hold the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such investment.

 

(f) Information. The Holder hereby represents that it has conducted its own due diligence and received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to engage in the Note Conversion.
