Extension of the Consummation of the Business Combination

 

On July 9, 2020, the Company's stockholders approved to further extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination (the "Fifth Extension Amendment") from July 9, 2020 to November 9, 2020 or such earlier date as determined by the Board (the "Combination Period"). The number of shares of common stock presented for redemption in connection with the Fifth Extension Amendment was 106,186. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $1,160,695, or approximately $10.93 per share, to redeeming stockholders. As a result of the payment on the shares of common stock presented for redemption in connection with the Fifth Extension Amendment, cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account decreased to $10,279,476 at July 9, 2020.

 

Alpha Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On September 8, 2020, KBL entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") whereby it issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha"), secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,111,111.11 (collectively, the "Notes") for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. The Notes are subject to 10% original issue discount, are due on April 7, 2021, and accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with interest being guaranteed to the maturity of the Notes, regardless of when any Note is converted. The Notes are all initially convertible into the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a per share conversion price equal to $5.28. Beginning ninety (90) days following the Company's completion of its contemplated Business Combination, the conversion price will equal the lowest volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's Common Stock during the five (5) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date, but in no event will the conversion price be lower than $2.00. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the SPA, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to the investors. See Convertible Note Conversions in this Note 14.

No other changes were made to the Notes as a result of the Amendment Agreement.
