The Acquired Shares were purchased pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated the same date (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company, Seller and Ithaca Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Share Purchase”).
The purchase price consideration for the Acquired Shares consisted of US$750,000 in cash (the “Cash”) plus 454,463 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Shares,” and together with the Cash, the “Ithaca Consideration”). The Cash was paid and the Shares were issued to the Seller on December 1, 2020. The Shares are subject to restriction on resales until that date that is 180 days following the closing of the Share Purchase which is binding on any holder receiving any of the Shares from Seller.
As a result of the Share Purchase transaction, Ithaca Holdings, LLC has become a shareholder in the Company and SB Projects, Scott “Scooter” Braun, Allison Kaye, President of SB Projects & Partner, Ithaca Holdings, LLC and Jennifer McDaniels, SB Projects General Manager of Music will become advisors to the Company.

Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant |
The Company obtained the Cash portion of the Ithaca Consideration from Excel Family Partners, LLLP ("Excel"), an entity controlled by Bruce Cassidy, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company and Excel agreed upon the general terms and conditions of the Company's direct financial obligation, which will be set forth in written agreements, including a promissory note to be issued by the Company (the “Note”). The Note may not be transferred or assigned by either party, and it will mature on December 1, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”).
Interest of 4% per annum will accrue from December 1, 2020 (“Issue Date”) and be payable in cash as follows: (1) first 12 months of interest is payable in advance on the date the Note is executed; (2) six months of cash interest is payable in arrears on June 1, 2022; and (3) six months of cash interest is payable in arrears on the Maturity Date. Interest of 6% per annum accrues from the Issue Date and payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Common Stock”) in arrears on June 1, 2021, December 1, 2021, June 1, 2022 and the Maturity Date . The price of a share of the Common Stock will be based upon the ten-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”), of the Common Stock on the OTC Markets immediately preceding each Common Stock interest payment date.
If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange prior to the Maturity Date, the Company is required to issue the note holder an amount of Common Stock equal to 15% of their then principal outstanding divided by the 30-day VWAP of the Common Stock immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The Note will be secured by all of the assets of the Company. Furthermore, the security interest will be shared pari passu with future secured debt holders of the Company.
On the Maturity Date or upon a merger, sale of all assets or other similar type of change of control event, the note holder shall have the option to convert all or not less than one-half of their then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid cash interest into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the 30-day VWAP immediately preceding such date or the closing date of such event, respectively.
In the event of a Qualified Nasdaq Listing, but subject to the closing of such Qualified Nasdaq Listing, the outstanding Note obligation amount (principal plus accrued and unpaid interest) shall convert in full on the closing date of such Qualified Nasdaq Listing into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the outstanding Note obligation amount on such closing date, divided by (y) the per share price of the Common Stock sold to the public in a Qualified Nasdaq Listing less 20%. A Qualified Nasdaq Listing means a bona fide underwritten public offering of the Common Stock (a) in which such stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and (b) for gross proceeds at least equal to the initial principal amount of the Note.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
