Securities Purchase Agreement
On July 13, 2024, T Stamp, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with a certain investor (the "Purchaser"). Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Purchaser agreed, at the closing of the SPA (the "Closing") and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SPA, to purchase from the Company 4,597,701 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 of the Company (the "Class A Common Stock") at $0.435 per share, which was equal to the closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on July 11, 2024. The total purchase price for the shares was agreed to be paid pursuant to three promissory notes issued by the Purchaser to the Company comprised of (i) a $500,000 promissory note payable on July 31, 2024; (ii) a $500,000 promissory note payable on August 31, 2024; and (iii) a $1,000,000 promissory note payable within three (3) trading days of an effective resale registration statement as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement (described further below in this Current Report on Form 8-K). None of the promissory notes accrue interest, and each may be repaid before their respective due dates.
