EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and restates the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) filed by Ault Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2023.

 

This Amendment No. 1 is solely for the purpose of disclosing an amended and restated Assignment Agreement (the “A&R Assignment”), which was entered into by the Company and Ault & Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a related party to the Company (“A&C”), and to clarify and disclose the consideration paid by the Company to A&C for A&C to assume from the Company the Exchange Notes (as hereinafter defined).

 

Other than the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the original date of the Original Form 8-K and does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the date of the Original Form 8-K.

 

Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2023, on March 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 100,000 shares of its preferred stock, with each such share having a stated value of $100.00 and consisting of (i) 83,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), (ii) 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) and (iii) 16,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock” and collectively, the “Preferred Shares”).

 

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock had a purchase price of $100.00, equal to each such share’s stated value. The purchase price of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock was paid for by the Investors’ canceling outstanding secured promissory notes in the then principal amount of $8.4 million (the “Prior Notes”), whereas the purchase price of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock consisted of accrued but unpaid interest on these notes, as well as for other good and valuable consideration. The Offering closed on March 30, 2023.

 

Exchange Agreement and Exchange Notes

 

The Company and the Investors entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) dated July 28, 2023 but effective as of August 3, 2023. The Preferred Shares had originally been acquired by the Investors through their surrender for cancellation of two Prior Notes issued to them by Sentinum, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly known as Bit Nile, Inc.), in the aggregate principal amount of $11 million, as reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 11, 2022. A form of the Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Investors exchanged (the “Exchange”) all of their Preferred Shares as well as their demand notes (the “Demand Notes”) issued to the Investors by the Company on or about May 20, 2023, with each Demand Note having a principal outstanding amount of approximately $888,000 for two new 10% Secured OID Promissory Notes (the “Exchange Notes”), each with a principal face amount of $5,272,416 as of July 28, 2023 for an aggregate of amount owed of $10,544,832 (the “Principal Amount”). A form of the Exchange Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. The Exchange Agreement closed on August 3, 2023.

 

Assignment

 

The Company and A&C entered into the A&R Assignment dated August 10, 2023 but effective as of August 3, 2023, whereby the Company assigned the Exchange Notes to A&C. As consideration for A&C assuming the Exchange Notes from the Company, the Company issued a 10% demand promissory note in the principal face amount equal to the Exchange Notes to A&C. A form of the A&R Assignment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

 

Guaranty

 

In connection with a security and pledge agreement entered into on August 3, 2023, by and among A&C and the Investors, to which the Company is not a party, the Company signed a guaranty dated July 28, 2023 but effective as of August 3, 2023, guaranteeing the full payment of A&C’s obligations under the Exchange Notes (the “Guaranty”). A form of the Guaranty is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3. Milton C. Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman, executed and delivered a similar instrument in connection with the Exchange.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange Notes, the A&R Assignment and the Guaranty do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, forms of such documents attached as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

(b)       If any Event of Default occurs, the full Principal Amount of this Note, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing upon an Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on this Note shall accrue at the rate of 18% per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Note holder until such time, if any, as the full payment under this Section shall have been received by it.

Section 8.       This Note shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non convenes, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under this Note. The Company and the Holder hereby waive a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Note

 

Section 9.       If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
