ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The following sets forth information regarding all unregistered securities sold by us in transactions that were exempt from the requirements of the Securities Act. Except where noted, all of the securities discussed in this Item 2 were all issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On February 5, 2024, Vivakor, Inc. (the “Company”), as the borrower; Vivaventures Management Company, Inc., Vivaventures Oil Sands, Inc., Silver Fuels Delhi, LLC, White Claw Colorado City, LLC, Vivaventures Remediation Corporation and Vivaventures Energy Group, Inc., which are the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors” or “Subsidiaries”); Cedarview Opportunities Master Fund LP, as the lender (the “Lender”); and Cedarview Capital Management, LLC, as the agent (the “Agent”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company issued a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $3,000,000, and the Lenders agreed to provide a $3,000,000 term loan to the Company (the “Term Loan”). On February 6, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company received the net proceeds from the Term Loan, less a 3% origination fee. The transaction documents were signed on February 5, 2024, and became effective as of the Closing Date. The amounts borrowed under the Loan and Security Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum of 22%. The Company also paid certain fees and transaction expenses in connection with the release of the funds in connection with the Term Loan. The principal amounts due under the Term Loan are payable as follows: (i) for the first three (3) months, the Company shall make an interest only payment of $165,000, which the Company prepaid on the Closing Date, and (ii) for the following twelve (12) months, the Company shall make monthly installment payments of $250,000 plus interest, which must be made on or before May 5, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company issued to the Lender 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, as additional consideration for the Term Loan.
As previously disclosed by us in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 2, 2024, we received a loan from a non-affiliated individual lender in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Loan”) and, in connection therewith, we agreed to issue 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The Loan bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, matures on December 31, 2024. We issued a promissory note dated December 5, 2023 in connection with the Loan (the “Original Note”). On April 8, 2024, the lender returned an executed amended and restated convertible promissory note for the Loan (the “Amended Note”). The convertible promissory note replaces the Original Note, but maintains the same interest rate and maturity date of the Original Note, and the obligation to issue 100,000 shares of our restricted stock remains in effect. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Note the holder can convert the outstanding principal and interest due under the Amended Note into shares of our common stock at price equal to 90% of the average closing price of our common stock for the previous three (3) trading days prior to the conversion date, with a floor conversion price of $0.75 per share. The holder may not convert amounts owed under the Amended Note if such conversion would cause him to own more than 4.99% of our common stock after giving effect to the issuance, which limitation may be raised to 9.99% upon no less than 61 days notice to us regarding his desire to increase the conversion limitation percentage.
