This Form 8-K was filed by Conversion Labs, Inc. on August 19, 2019, reporting events occurring on August 15, 2019. The filing details a private placement financing transaction involving the issuance of convertible promissory notes and warrants to three accredited investors.
Key Financial Metrics
- Capital Raised: $1,291,500 in aggregate original principal amount via convertible promissory notes.
- Interest Rate: 12% per annum on the notes.
- Warrants Issued: Warrants to purchase up to 4,679,348 shares of common stock.
- Warrant Exercise Price: $0.28 per share (subject to adjustment).
- Warrant Term: 10 years, immediately exercisable with a cashless exercise mechanism.

- Note Maturity: One year from the closing date (August 15, 2020).
- Liquidity and Debt: The filing creates a direct financial obligation. The notes contain covenants restricting the company from incurring additional indebtedness or permitting liens on properties while the notes are outstanding.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the entry into a Material Definitive Agreement (Item 1.01) and the creation of a Direct Financial Obligation (Item 2.03). The company has increased its debt load by $1,291,500 and diluted potential equity through the issuance of warrants covering approximately 4.68 million shares. Additionally, the CEO's wholly-owned entity, JOJ Holdings, LLC, entered into a one-year lock-up agreement restricting the sale of its shares.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Conversion Mechanics: The notes include a price protection mechanism. If the average VWAP over 10 trading days preceding the 90-day or 180-day anniversary is below the conversion price, the conversion price may be reduced to 80% of that VWAP.
- Ownership Limits: Conversion is restricted if it would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the company's common stock.
- Regulatory Status: The securities were sold unregistered under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D exemptions, as the offering did not involve a public offering.
- Management Commentary: The filing contains no forward-looking guidance or management commentary regarding future revenue or operational outlook beyond the terms of the financing agreement.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current share count to assess the dilution impact of the 4,679,348 warrants and potential note conversions.
- Confirm the company's ability to service the 12% interest obligation and repay the $1,291,500 principal by the August 2020 maturity date.
- Review the specific "permitted indebtedness" and "permitted liens" definitions in the attached exhibits to understand remaining borrowing capacity.
- Monitor the stock price relative to the $0.23 conversion price and $0.28 warrant price to evaluate the likelihood of price adjustments or warrant exercise.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the status of the lock-up agreement for JOJ Holdings, LLC.
