Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

As previously disclosed, AppTech Payments Corp. (the “Company” or “our”) received a notice dated August 21, 2024, from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).

 

As previously disclosed, on December 16, 2024, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “AFIOS 6 SPA”) with AFIOS Partners 6 for the sale of 1,200,00 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) for a purchase price of $1,000,000, 1,200,000 warrants with a 5-year term and an exercise price of $0.90 per warrant, and 1,800,000 warrants with a 5-year term and an exercise price of $1.20 per warrant to be issued at closing. On the same day, the Company also entered into a share purchase agreement (the “AFIOS 7 SPA”) with AFIOS Partners 7 for the sale of up to 4,000,000 Shares for $1,500,000 funding on December 16, 2024, 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock will be issued and $2,500,000 in additional funding as and when required by the Company, will result in 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock will be issued (a purchase price of one dollar per share). In addition, the Company agreed to issue as funded proportionately 4,000,000 warrants with a 5-year term and an exercise price of $0.90 per warrant and 6,000,000 warrants with a 5-year term and an exercise price of $1.20 per warrant. The AFIOS 7 SPA also contains an over-allotment clause whereby AFIOS Partners 7 may increase the equity raise from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 if the Company approves it, at the AFIOS 7 SPA’s exact pricing and unit composition.

 

On December 30, 2024, AFIOS Partners 6 invested $1,000,000 with common stock and warrants issuances pursuant to the AFIOS 6 SPA, and AFIOS Partners 7 invested $1,500,000 with common stock and warrants issuances pursuant to the AFIOS 7 SPA (the “Capital Raising Transaction”). The Company also settled the outstanding payables and recognized over $940,000 in gains on early debt extinguishment as of December 31, 2024. The results of the Capital Raising Transaction and early debt extinguishment brought the Company’s stockholders’ equity balance to $4,146,448 on December 31, 2024.

 

As a result of the Capital Raising Transaction and early debt extinguishment, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

 

Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and, if at the time of the Company’s next periodic report, the Company does not evidence compliance, the Company may be subject to delisting.
