On November 30, 2016, Intellinetics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), issued three promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $225,000 (the “Notes”), to three accredited investors (the “Note Investors”). The Note Investors are: (i) Robert F. Taglich and Michael N.

Schroeder, receiving a Note with a principal amount of $25,000, and who is related to the Company as a director. The Notes mature on December 1, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 8% until maturity, with interest beginning to accrue three months following the effective dates of the Notes, and payable quarterly at the Company’s option. The Note Investors have a right, in their sole discretion, to convert the Notes into any types of securities sold by the Company in its next equity financing on the same terms as other investors in such financing. If the Notes have not been fully repaid by the Company by the Maturity Date or converted into other securities prior to the Maturity Date, then such Notes will accrue interest at the annual rate of 10% from the Maturity Date until the date the Notes are repaid in full. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Notes for working capital, general corporate purposes, and debt repayment. The form of the Notes are incorporated as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report, and the summary description of the terms of the Notes contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.

 

Pursuant to the Notes, the Note Investors also received five-year warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.68 per share (the “Warrants”).

The form of the Warrants are incorporated as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report, and the summary description of the terms of the Notes contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.2.
