Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 24, 2019, RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) and Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (the “Lender”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) by which the Lender loaned $58,500 to the Company in return for a convertible promissory note (the “Note”), the Limited Guaranty (as defined below), and the delivery into escrow a confession of judgment in favor of the Lender for the amount of the Note plus fees and costs to be filed by the Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note). The proceeds of the loan, which equal $55,000 after payment of $1,000 in due diligence fees and $2,500 in legal fees, will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

The Note will be payable on April 24, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), and bear interest at a rate equal to 12% per annum, with any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due bearing interest at the rate of 22% per annum.

 

The Lender has the right, at any time during the period beginning on the date that is 180 days following the date of the Note and ending on the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in the Note), to convert any outstanding and unpaid amount of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock or securities convertible into the Company’s common stock, provided that such conversion would not result in the Lender beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. Upon such conversion, the Note would be deemed repaid and terminated.

 

In consideration of and to induce the Lender to consummate the transaction referenced herein, Jeff E. Margolis, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “CFO”), on April 25, 2019 issued a limited guaranty in favor of the Lender (the “Limited Guaranty”) whereby the CFO guaranteed to the Lender the prompt and full performance and observance by the Company of its obligation to promptly cooperate in processing all notices of conversions issued pursuant to the Note.

 

The descriptions of the SPA and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the SPA and the Note, which are included as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
