Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
November 30, 2021, Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with Dutchess Capital Growth Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership, (“Dutchess”), providing for
an equity financing facility (the “Equity Line”). The Purchase Agreement provides that upon the terms and subject to the
conditions in the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess is committed to purchase up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of shares of common stock,
$0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), over the 36 month term of the Purchase Agreement (the “Total Commitment”).
Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess will not be obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock unless and until certain conditions
are met, including but not limited to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) becoming
effective which registers Dutchess’ resale of any Common Stock purchased by Dutchess under the Equity Line. From
time to time over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, commencing on the trading day immediately following the date on which
the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company, in our sole discretion, may provide Dutchess with a draw down notice
(each, a “Draw Down Notice”), to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock (each, a “Draw Down Amount Requested”),
subject to the limitations discussed below. The actual amount of proceeds the Company will receive pursuant to each Draw Down
Notice (each, a “Draw Down Amount”) is to be determined by multiplying the Draw Down Amount Requested by the applicable purchase
price. The purchase price of each share of Common Stock equals 92% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock during the five (5)
business days prior to the Closing Date. Closing Date shall mean the five (5) business days after the Clearing Date. Clearing Date shall
mean the first business day that the Selling Shareholder holds the Draw Down Amount in its brokerage account and is eligible to trade
the shares.
The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock requested to be purchased pursuant to any single Draw Down Notice cannot exceed the lesser of
(i) 300% of the average daily share volume of the Common Stock in the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Draw Down Notice
or (ii) an aggregate value of $250,000.
In
order to deliver a Draw Down Notice, certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement must be met. In addition, the Company
is prohibited from delivering a Draw Down Notice if: (i) the Draw Down Amount Requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum
Draw Down Amount Requested; (ii) the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company
to issue and sell to Dutchess or Dutchess to acquire or purchase a number of shares of Common Stock that, when aggregated with all shares
of Common Stock purchased by Dutchess pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under the Purchase Agreement, would exceed the Total
Commitment; or (iii) the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Draw Down Notice would cause us to issue and sell to Dutchess
or Dutchess to acquire or purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would result in Dutchess beneficially owning more
than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
The
Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties. Unless
earlier terminated, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier to occur of: (i) the 36-month anniversary of the
date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective and (ii) the date on which Dutchess has purchased or acquired shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement equal to the Total Commitment. Under certain circumstances set forth in the Purchase Agreement,
the Company and Dutchess each may terminate the Purchase Agreement on one trading day’s prior written notice to the other,
without fee, penalty, or cost.
The
Company agreed to pay to Dutchess a commitment fee for entering into
the Purchase Agreement of 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock.
The
Purchase Agreement also provides for our indemnification of Dutchess and its affiliates in the event that Dutchess incurs losses, liabilities,
obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs, and expenses related to a breach by us of any of our representations, warranties,
covenants, or agreements under the Purchase Agreement or the other related transaction documents or any action, suit, claim, or proceeding
instituted against Dutchess or its affiliates due to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents,
subject to certain limitations.
In
connection with the Equity Line, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, with Dutchess (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale all of the shares issuable in accordance
with the Purchase Agreement in a Registration Statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In
making sales of our Common Stock to Dutchess under the Purchase Agreement, we are relying on an exemption from the registration requirements
of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The
description of certain terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement set forth herein do not purport to be complete
and are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of such agreements, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and
are incorporated by reference herein
