Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On June 15, 2006, E-centives, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 to US Venture 05, Inc. (“US Venture 05”). The terms of the note include, among other things:
| • | a 10% interest rate; |
| • | a maturity date of December 31, 2006; |
| • | a conversion feature, whereby the principal amount of and accrued interest on the note is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of Series C preferred stock at a conversion price of $4 per share; |
| • | a redemption feature, whereby the note may be redeemed by the Company at any time by payment of the principal amount of and accrued interest on the note to the holder; and |
| • | a security interest in substantially all of our assets, including certain patents of the Company. |
The note is subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future bank indebtedness of the Company, including lease and equipment finance obligations, is senior in right of payment to all classes and series of the Company’s capital stock, and is pari passu with any and all convertible debt securities issued by the Company.
Peter Friedli, our director and largest stockholder, serves as the President of US Venture 05 and as such may be deemed to beneficially own such shares. The terms of the Series C preferred stock in which the note is convertible are identical to the terms of the shares issued in 2005 that were part of the Series C preferred stock financing commenced on March 31, 2005, which is described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2005. The $4 conversion price of the note is also the same as the purchase price of the shares of Series C preferred stock in such financing. The terms of the Series C preferred stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The issuance of the convertible note was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
