Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 26, 2023, Lottery.com Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with United Capital Investments London Limited (“UCIL”). Each of Matthew McGahan, the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), and Barney Battles, a member of the Board, have a direct or indirect interest in UCIL. The Credit Facility consists of (a) funding in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to be paid in tranches over time and as requested by the Company (the “Initial Loan”), wherein in return for the Initial Loan the Company shall issue to UCIL a number of warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) in an amount representing at least 4.5% but not exceeding 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock on the date of such issuance; and (b) an additional credit facility, at the Company’s written request and at UCIL’s sole discretion for an amount up to a total of $49,000,000 in additional financing (the “Accordion”) in subsequent funding tranches. The interest rate on the Initial Loan and the Accordion is 10% per annum. The Credit Facility provides that UCIL may elect, in its sole discretion, to convert an amount of the Initial Loan and the Accordion, together with accrued interest, into shares of common stock at a conversion price calculated in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. In addition, the Credit Facility includes certain customary representations, warranties and events of default subject to customary notice and cure rights. The Credit Facility is represented by a loan agreement, which is dated July 26, 2023 (the “Loan Agreement”). UCIL has started to provide funding as part of the Initial Loan. The foregoing description of the Credit Facility and the Loan Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Loan Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) and incorporated by reference herein.
The decision by the Company to enter into the Loan Agreement with UCIL follows an acknowledgment by the Company that it had not received the requisite funding on a timely basis that it expected from Woodford Eurasia Assets Ltd. (“Woodford”), despite the Company making several requests to Woodford for said funding under the Company’s previously disclosed Loan Agreement with Woodford (the “Woodford Loan Agreement”). Moreover, the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to enter into the Loan Agreement with UCIL, as an alternative lender to Woodford, upon receiving an event of default notice on July 21, 2023 (the “Default Notice”) and an event of default and crystallization notice on July 25, 2023 (the “Crystallization Notice”) from Woodford under the Woodford Loan Agreement. On July 24, 2023, the Company responded to the Default Notice disputing that an event of default had occurred given the Company’s earlier announcement that UCIL had agreed to enter into a funding arrangement with the Company. On July 27, 2023, the Company replied to the Crystallization Notice denying that an event of default occurred or continued, and further asserted that Woodford’s attempt for crystallization was inappropriate and unlawful under the Woodford Loan Agreement. Given the uncertainty of the continued financing under the Woodford Loan Agreement, the Board sought to secure and formalize the Company’s alternative funding by entering into the Loan Agreement on July 26, 2023.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on March 13, 2023, the Company was notified by the staff (the “Staff”) at The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it did not comply with Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) (the “Rule”), which requires that the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors consist of at least three members, each of whom is an independent director and meets the heightened independence standards for audit committee members under Nasdaq’s listing rules. On July 26, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that the Staff has determined that the Company complies with the Rule (the “Compliance Letter”) based on the appointments of Paul S. Jordan and Tamer T. Hassan to the Company’s Board of Directors and audit committee, as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 20, 2023.
