Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Advisory Board

The Board of Directors recently authorized the creation of a new Advisory Board whose participants shall include subject matter experts in certain business areas under consideration by the Company. These positions are “non-executive” and as such are not governed by Section 16 of the Securities Act. The compensation for the participants shall be $60,000 per year paid through the issuance of restricted common stock. The per share valuation to be used shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the market of the Company’s common stock at the time of the appointment. The Board of Director has made April 1, 2024 the effective date for the Advisor’s agreements who were appointed through April 2024.

 

On May 10, 2024 the Company issued 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to each of four (4) members of its Advisory Board as consideration for their services over the next 12 months. The 300,000 shares, in aggregate, were priced at $.80 per share.

 

Previously the Company announced that it had added William Thein to its Advisory Board to assist on evaluation of consumer products related areas. Given recent decisions to proceed with businesses directly related to technology, and not consumer products, it has decided not to proceed with that appointment and no consideration has been provided.

 

Consulting Agreement

On May 14, 2024 the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Ms. Betsy Berlin, a seasoned professional with experience in data center services, AI and other applications. Ms. Berlin will assume responsibility for the development of its business unit focused on data center operations, cyber and data security, as well as infrastructure related applications for municipal, utility and commercial applications. The agreement is for a term of 12 months, at a rate of $10,000 per month. The Company has also agreed to provide a bonus program as additional compensation at a later date. Ms. Berlin will receive up to 75,000 of restricted common stock as additional consideration subject to certain tenure and performance requirements.

 

Financing Agreements

On May 13, 2024 in one case, and May 15, 2024 for the other two cases, the Company entered into a lending agreement with each of three (3) of its historical institutional investors, Cavalry Fund, AJB and Mercer Street Capital (“the Lenders”). The notes provide $33,000 of proceeds each, are for 12-month period, and earn interest at ten percent (10%) per year. The Lenders and the Company have agreed that the use of the proceeds are intended to fund compliance related costs such as SEC reporting, audit, legal and accounting related. The Company expects to enter into similar agreements with other investors to meet its continuing costs for compliance. A copy of the form of notes can be found in the exhibits to this filing.

4.         [RESERVED]

 

5.         Rollover Rights. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company completes any single public offering or private placement of its equity, equity-linked or debt securities (each, a “Future Transaction”), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to apply all, or any portion, of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest, as purchase consideration for such Future Transaction (the “Rollover Rights”). The Company shall give written notice to Holder as soon as practicable, but in no event less than 15 days before the anticipated closing date of such Future Transaction. The Holder may exercise its Rollover Rights by providing the Company written notice of such exercise within five Business Days before the closing of the Future Transaction. In the event Holder exercises its Rollover Rights, then such elected portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and accrued but unpaid interest shall automatically convert into the corresponding securities issued in such Future Transaction under the terms of such Future Transaction (except as provided in the next sentence), such that the Holder will receive all securities (including, without limitation, any warrants) issuable under the Future Transaction. The conversion price applicable to such conversion shall equal 80% of the cash purchase price paid per share, unit or other security denomination for the Company securities issued in the Future Transaction to other investors in the Future Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Holder shall not be permitted to exercise the Rollover Rights in a public offering involving the offering of equity securities that will be listed on a national securities exchange unless the Holder executes and delivers to the Company at the closing of such public offering an industry-standard “lock up” letter with respect to such equity securities for a period not to exceed 90 days.

 

6.         Events of Default.

 

(a)         “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(b)         Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, then the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount.  After the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on this Note shall accrue at an additional interest rate equal to the lesser of 2% per month (24% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.  Upon the payment in full of the Note, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company.

Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 6(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by email or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the email or other address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile number, email or other address appears on the books of the Company, at the principal place of business of such Holder, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(b)         Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable, on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company.

 

(c)         Lost or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, a new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

(d)         Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated herein (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in Collier County, State of Florida (the “Florida Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Florida Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such Florida Courts, or such Florida Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

(e)         Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

 

(f)         Severability. 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 the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. 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 Note, 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 impede 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.

 

(g)         Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

(h)         Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Mitesco Forms Technology Subsidiary, Secure Data Center & Infrastructure Focus

 

May 16, 2024 – Vero Beach, Florida -- Mitesco, Inc. (OTC:MITI, “the Company,” www.mitescoinc.com ) today announced it will form a new subsidiary whose mission will be to develop a business centered around highly secure data center operations with an application focus on infrastructure related solutions.

 

Mack Leath, Chairman of the Board of Directors, discussed the new business development activity. “It is clear that data center demand is far exceeding supply, and that could mean an excellent opening for us to address the opportunity with new offerings. Beyond typical data center offerings, we have chosen to focus on an environment that offers the highest level of cybersecurity, and to focus on applications addressing the need to design, monitor and manage infrastructure. These areas have received significant attention worldwide for the need to securely track operational requirements through their lifecycle.”

 

The Company noted the following industry insight:

 

 

1)

It was recently reported by Statista that as of 2023, the average cost of a data breach in the United States amounted to $9.48 million U.S. dollars, up from $9.44 million U.S. dollars in the previous year. The global average cost per data breach was $4.45 million in U.S. dollars in 2023.

2)

In 2023, three in four companies in the United States were at risk of a material cyberattack, according to chief information security officers (CISO). Their concerns are based on the fact that the number of cyberattacks has been gradually increasing in recent years, amounting to 480 thousand in 2022. Thus, cybercrime remains one of the primary risks that companies in the United States face. Cyberattacks, if successful, might have serious consequences, the main one being financial damage. According to the forecast, in 2024, cybercrime will cost the U.S. more than 452 billion U.S. dollars. However, financial losses are not what company leaders are mostly concerned about but rather reputational damage.

Mr. Leath also announced the addition of a new individual responsible for building the business unit, “Driving the new business effort will be Ms. Betsy Berlin, a veteran executive with a successful track record as a solutions consultant and accomplished sales leader with experience in national accounts, including a wide range of applications within a multi-team presentation process. Her experience includes cloud solutions like SaaS and AI with several industries, including Telecom, IT, Energy, and Finance. She has also worked in the infrastructure arena developing relationships with key players in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) marketplace, all of which are key to the infrastructure marketplace.”

Ms. Berlin, age 63, has a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Cincinnati, 1983, and has also participated in Executive Leadership courses from Cornell University. She is based in Denver, Colorado and will be leading the team of Advisors in Seattle, Washington - Westport, Connecticut – Atlanta, Georgia - Orlando, Florida and Vero Beach, Florida.

 

Leath closed by saying “We thank our shareholders for their continued support and look forward to developing operations with the potential for growth and returns to all our investor base.”
