Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 19, 2020, mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $99,225 (including a $4,725 original issuance discount) (the “Note”). The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement occurred on August 20, 2020, the date the Company received net proceeds in the amount of $90,000 as a result of $4,500 being paid to reimburse the accredited investor for legal fees incurred with respect to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note.

 

The Note matures on August 19, 2021, bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum (increasing to 24% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note)) and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a conversion price as specified in the Note, subject to adjustment. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the 180th day after the issuance date of the Note with certain prepayment penalties as set forth therein.

 

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of those documents, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On August 19, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the appointment of RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public account firm to audit its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, with such appointment effective as of August 19, 2020. RBSM replaces Assurance Dimensions, Inc. (“Assurance Dimensions”) who resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of August 19, 2020.

 

Assurance Dimensions reported on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 (collectively, the “Assurance Dimensions Reports”) and such Assurance Dimensions Reports did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the Assurance Dimensions Reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except as modified by the going concern explanatory paragraph.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and the subsequent interim period from July 1, 2019 through August 19, 2020, there were no disagreements with Assurance Dimensions on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Assurance Dimensions, would have caused Assurance Dimensions to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with the Assurance Dimensions Reports.

 

Further, during the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and the subsequent interim period from July 1, 2019 through August 19, 2020, there were no reportable events (as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company has provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to Assurance Dimensions and requested Assurance Dimensions to provide the Company with a letter indicating whether or not Assurance Dimensions agrees with such disclosures. A copy of the letter, dated August 19, 2020 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and the subsequent interim period from July 1, 2019 through August 19, 2020, the Company did not consult with RBSM regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On August 20, 2020, the Company prepaid a convertible promissory note, including principal, accrued interest, and prepayment amount as set forth within such convertible promissory note dated February 24, 2020. The convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $53,000 was issued and sold by the Company to an accredited investor under a securities purchase agreement dated February 24, 2020.

 

The foregoing description of the securities purchase agreement and convertible promissory note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of those documents, which were filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, under Form 8-K on February 28, 2020, and are hereby incorporated by reference.
