●the right of the Company’s board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;

 

●the ability of the Company’s directors, and not stockholders, to fill vacancies (including those resulting from an enlargementof the board of directors) on the Company’s board of directors;

Item14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

TheDGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetarydamages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors, and our certificate of incorporation includes such an exculpationprovision. Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers include provisionsthat indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damagesfor actions taken as a director or officer of Eightco, or for serving at Eightco’s request as a director or officer or anotherposition at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and indemnification agreementswith each of our directors and officers also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers,subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. Eightco’s Bylaws expresslyauthorize Eightco to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect Eightco, its directors, officers, and certain employeesagainst certain liabilities.

 

Thelimitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are in our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and indemnification agreementswith each of our directors and officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciaryduty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers,even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Eightco and its stockholders. Your investment may be adversely affectedto the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, Eightco pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officerspursuant to these indemnification provisions. However, these provisions will not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder,to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. The provisionswill not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws.

 

Wehave purchased and currently intend to maintain insurance on behalf of each and any person who is or was our director or officer againstany loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exclusions.

 

Seealso the undertakings set out in response to Item 17 herein.

Pursuant to the terms of the F8 Purchase Agreement, the Company may issueshares of its common stock to the sellers under the F8 Purchase Agreement (the “Sellers”). The actual number of shares ofits common stock to be issued, if any, cannot be determined at this time, but could number at least 125,639 shares. On January18, 2023, the Company entered into a waiver agreement with the Sellers’ Representative (the “F8 Waiver Agreement”).Pursuant to the F8 Waiver Agreement, the Sellers agreed not to receive any shares of common stock until the earlier of (i) December31, 2023, and (ii) such time as the Company has authorized enough shares to (x) issue all shares of common stock issuable to the Sellerspursuant to the put right of certain preferred units, conversion of the Promissory Notes and any of the Ancillary Documents (as definedin the F8 Purchase Agreement) and (y) issue all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of all notes and warrants,respectively, of the Company which are then issued and outstanding. The issuance of our unregistered shares under the F8 Purchase Agreementand F8 Waiver Agreement will be made pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

 

OnMarch 15, 2023, we entered into the March 2023 Purchase Agreement with Hudson Bay for the issuance and sale of the March 2023 Note, currentlyconvertible into 2,763,545 March 2023 Note Shares and the March 2023 Warrant, currently exercisable into 2,763,545 March 2023 WarrantShares. We received total consideration of $5,000,000. The March 2023 Note is convertible at a price of $2.0101 per share, is immediatelyconvertible and may be converted at any point prior to the maturity date of January 15, 2024, however, unless and until shareholderapproval is obtained, Hudson Bay may not exercise the March 2023 Note to the extent that the issuance of March 2023 Note Shares wouldcause the total number of March 2023 Note Shares and March 2023 Warrant Shares issued to exceed the aggregate number of shares of commonstock which the Company may issue pursuant the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The exercise price of the March 2023Warrant is $2.0101 per share. The exercise price of the March 2023 Warrant adjusts down to match the issuance price of common stock issuedby the Company at a lower price than the exercise price of the March 2023 Warrant or match the exercise or conversion price of convertiblesecurities issued by the Company. The March 2023 Warrant is exercisable from its issuance date, however, unless and until shareholderapproval is obtained, Hudson Bay may not exercise the March 2023 Warrant to the extent that the issuance of March 2023 Warrant Shareswould cause the total number of March 2023 Warrant Shares and March 2023 Note Shares issued to exceed the aggregate number of sharesof common stock which the Company may issue pursuant the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
