Tonight, the boys filed an SEC Form 8-K — to disclose that the company has amended and reworked its obligation to pay $1.5 million MORE — for some of those highly impaired Bitmain Antminers, we mentioned last week.
Here is the operative bit (and a link to the full filing):
“…On August 21, 2018, the Company and BMSS entered into an waiver letter, amending the BMSS Purchase Agreement (the “Waiver”) whereby the Company and BMSS agreed to waive any and all past due amounts payable by the Company to BMSS pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) of the BMSS Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Waiver, the Company agreed to pay to BMSS $150,000 on or before August 21, 2018, $200,000 on or before September 30, 2018 and on each 30 day anniversary thereafter for a total of 6 payments of $200,000 until a total of $1,350,000 has been paid. The Company will make a final payment equal to $150,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest calculated at a rate equal to 10% per year 30 days following the last payment of $200,000.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company agreed to issue to BMSS 50,000 shares of restricted common stock in connection with the Waiver within 7 days of the execution of the Waiver. In connection with the foregoing, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering. The foregoing description of the Waiver does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Waiver, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K….”
So the company is issuing new equity (thus doubly diluting the existing investors) to cover the cash shortfall, here. First the boys overpaid in the first transaction, and now they are paying interest at 10 per cent, and additional stock. Hilarious.
This is all a rather stupid amendment, to what was a colossally stupid deal, in the first instance.
The intervening half-year has proved this, beyond any reasonable doubt.
Onward.
