NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Convertible Notes

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had received an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 and $7,315,038, respectively, from stockholders under secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). All of the Notes issued in 2017 and 2016 had the same terms. The Notes were subordinate to the long-term debt due to Silicon Valley Bank (See Note 8. Borrowing Arrangements) and accrue interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, which was due with all unpaid principal on the maturity date of September 7, 2017. In connection with the Merger, the holders of the Notes agreed to convert the Notes based on an agreed upon price of $3.36 per share. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on conversion of notes of $4.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, since the agreed upon price was below the fair value of the Notes at the time of the Merger.
