RiskOn International Announces Signing of Agreement to Sell Series D Preferred Stock

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$AP #AULT--RiskOn International, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROI) (“RiskOn,” or the “Company”), today announced the execution of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ault Alliance, Inc. (“AAI”), pursuant to which the Company will sell to AAI 603.44 shares of newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) for a total purchase price of $15,085,930.69 (the “Transaction”). The purchase price will be paid by the cancellation of $15,085,930.69 of cash advances made by AAI to the Company between January 1, 2023 and November 9, 2023 (the “Advances”). AAI is an affiliate of the Company.

Each Preferred Share has a stated value of $25,000.00 per share and is convertible at AAI’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at a fixed conversion price of $0.51 per share (the “Conversion Price”), which Conversion Price represents a 46% premium to yesterday’s closing price of $0.349 per share of Common Stock.

The Conversion Price is subject to standard anti-dilution provisions in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or similar reclassification of the Common Stock. The Preferred shares also have “full ratchet” price protection in the event the Company issues securities at a lower price than the Conversion Price. The Preferred Stock shall pay a dividend at an annual rate of 10%, which the Company may, during the first two years, pay in additional Preferred Shares.

The Transaction is expected to close on November 15, 2023 after the filing of the Certificates of Designations of the Rights, Preferences and Limitations of the Preferred Shares.

The Company allocated the Advances to multiple subsidiaries to fund growth and new initiatives, specifically at BitNile.com, Inc. (“BNC”) and GuyCare, Inc. (“GuyCare”). The strategic investment from AAI underscores the support the Company has received from AAI since its initial investment in a separate series of preferred stock in June 2022. AAI continues to demonstrate its support for the Company and its initiatives.

RiskOn CEO Randy May stated, “We are pleased to sign this Agreement with AAI and continue to enjoy our mutually beneficial working relationship. Since June 2022, AAI and its management has provided the Company with unwavering support. We look forward to strengthening the working relationship as we embark on new ventures within the Company.”

Additional information regarding the securities described above and the terms of the Transaction will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Preferred Shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as promulgated by SEC under the Securities Act.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
