Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 27, 2014, Propell Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”),  sold an aggregate of 3,503,332 units at a per unit price of $0.15, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock par value $.001 (the “Common Stock”) and a five year warrant to acquire one half of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, to seven accredited investors for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $525,499.80 pursuant to separate Securities Purchase Agreements entered into with each investor (the “Purchase Agreements”).   The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the above-described offering (the “Offering”) for working capital and general corporate purposes. The sale was part of a private placement offering in which the Company offered for sale on a “best efforts–all or none” basis up to 3,333,333 units (gross proceeds of approximately $500,000 and on a “best efforts” basis the remaining 10,000,001 units for a maximum of 13,333,334 units (gross proceeds of approximately $2,000,000). 

 

The Company retained Paulson Investment Company, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) as the exclusive Placement Agent for the Offering. In connection therewith, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a 10% commission from the gross proceeds of the Offering ($52,549.98) and a non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering ($15,765). In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for FINRA filing fees and related legal fees incurred by it in connection with the Offering. The Placement Agent also received warrants to purchase 525,500 shares of Common Stock, representing 15% of the number of Units sold in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), exercisable at $0.25 per share of Common Stock for a period of five years.   In addition, the Placement Agent received a right of first refusal to participate as a placement agent in future financings of debt or equity securities of the Company for 12 months following the last closing in the Offering and the right for one year to nominate a board observer; provided, however that the participation right and board observer right terminates upon certain substantial investments in the Company.

 

Each investor also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Company under which the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the Common Stock and shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants within 60 days following the Closing.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrants and the Purchase Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Placement Agent Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Warrant, and Purchase Agreement attached as Items 1.1, 4.1, 4.2, and 10.1, respectively.

 

Item 3.02   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The shares of Common Stock and Warrants sold in the Offering were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The investors are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.   This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such securities contain a legend stating the same.
