Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

As ToughBuilt Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 23, 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, dated November 20, 2020 (the “Exchange Agreement”), with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investor an aggregate of nine (9) shares of Series E Non-Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) of the Company.

 

On March 26, 2021, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a certificate of designation (the “Series E Certificate of Designation”) therein establishing the Series E Preferred Stock and issued nine shares of such preferred stock to the Investor per the Exchange Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Series E Certificate of Designation, the designated class of Series E Preferred Stock consists of fifteen (15) shares and the holders of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters subject to a vote or written consent of the holders of the Company’s common stock and all capital stock of the Company having voting rights, a number of votes of each one share equal to 1% of the total number of votes that the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and all other voting securities of the Company as of any such date of determination, voting together as a single class, on a fully diluted basis, subject to applicable law and a certain blocker clause contained in the Series E Certificate of Designation, as discussed below.

 

Pursuant to the blocker clause in the Series E Certificate of Designation, the voting power of every holder of the Series E Preferred Stock together with such holder’s affiliates and Attribution Parties, together with any and all securities of the Company owned by such parties, is limited to 4.99% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. The term “Attribution Parties” is defined in the Series E Certificate of Designation to consist of the following persons and entities: (i) any investment vehicle, including, any funds, feeder funds, or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the date the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are issued to the holder, directly or indirectly managed or advised by the holder’s investment manager or any of its affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect affiliates of the holder or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a group together with the holder or any of the foregoing; and (iv) any other persons whose beneficial ownership of the Corporation’s voting securities would or could be aggregated with the holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The Company issued the foregoing Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon Section 3(a)(9) promulgated thereunder.
