Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant |
On June 15, 2021, TraQiQ, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a direct financial obligation in the form of a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a 2021 Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Greg Rankich, a director of the Company (“Rankich”), pursuant to which Rankich loaned the principal sum of $400,000 to the Company. The Note matures and payment of the principal sum is required on or before 180 days after the date of the Note. Interest accrues on the principal outstanding from time to time under the Note at a rate of 0% per annum The Note may be prepaid by the Company in whole or in part at any time prior to the maturity date without penalty or premium of any kind. Events of default under the Note which could result in acceleration of the payment obligation under the Note are defined in the Note as: (1) the Company, after five days’ written notice from the holder to the Company, fails to timely pay any amount due and payable under the Note; (2) the Company becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or applies for or consents to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for the Company or for the major part of its property; or (3) bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or insolvency proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy or similar requirements of law for the relief of debtors, are instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted on an involuntary basis against the Company such involuntary proceedings are consented to or are not dismissed within 90 days after institution.
Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
On June 15, 2021, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and in connection with the issuance of the Note as described above, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to Rankich as a “Commitment Fee.” The shares were valued under the Purchase Agreement at $1.00 per share. The shares were issued as a private offering and sale pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rankich is a director of the Company and was the only recipient of shares in this transaction. Rankich represented in the Purchase Agreement that he has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Note and the shares, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Resale of the shares is restricted, and a legend was applied to the share certificates prohibiting sale or transfer without an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration.
In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Rankich granted to the Company an option to redeem up to 150,000 of such shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events) at a total cost of $1.00, if the Note has been repaid in full (including accrued and unpaid interest) on or prior to its maturity date (without extension).
