Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 2, 2023, HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and ZEROSPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, ZEROSPO agreed to issue and sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase, a promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, ZEROSPO agreed to pay to the Company $300,000 and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 8% per annum. To the extent not earlier paid, the principal amount and all accrued interest will be due and payable on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) or earlier in the event of an event of default as provided in the Note. The “Maturity Date” means the earlier of:

 

(i)The date of the closing of capital-raising transactions consummated by ZEROSPO via the issuance of any debt securities or equity securities of ZEROSPO or any of its affiliates which results in gross proceeds to ZEROSPO or any of its affiliates of $300,000 or more;
(ii)The date on which ZEROSPO completes a transaction pursuant to which its ordinary shares are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or any related exchange, including the NASDAQ Global Market, or on the New York Stock Exchange or any related securities exchange, including the NYSE American; and
(iii)The date which is 180 days following May 2, 2023.

 

ZEROSPO may, at its sole option, prepay the Note and any accrued interest thereunder in whole or in part at any time. In the event that any amount due under the Note is not paid as and when due, such amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year, simple interest, non-compounding, until paid.

 

The foregoing description of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and which are incorporated herein by reference.
