EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Lanphere SEA”) with Michael Lanphere, one of its officers (“Lanphere”), under which the Company agreed to issue Lanphere 5,206,430 shares of its common stock in exchange for 520,643 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock owned by Lanphere. The Company agreed to this exchange in order to meet the requirements under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with IDTEC, LLC, to acquire certain assets related to robotics equipment, which its management believes is synergistic with the Company’s current assets, from IDTEC in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 60% of its then-outstanding common stock. Under the terms of the APA, the Company cannot have any shares of preferred stock outstanding. The description of the Lanphere SEA set forth in this schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The shares were issued to Mr. Lanphere on August 28, 2019.

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion and Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Lanphere SPA”) with Lanphere, under which the Company agreed to issue Lanphere 21,400,745 shares of its common stock in exchange for a reduction in the amount it owes Lanphere under numerous promissory notes. Lanphere’s option to acquire the shares was under the terms of certain Loan Agreement with Promissory Note and Stock Fees agreements entered into between the Company and Lanphere. The amount of the debt reduction and, therefore the purchase price of the shares, was $96,303.35. The description of the Lanphere SPA set forth in this schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The shares were issued to Mr. Lanphere on August 28, 2019.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.00001, of TransBiotec, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Company’s current principal executive offices are located at 400 N. Tustin Ave., Suite 225, Santa Ana, CA 92705.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

This Statement is being filed by Michael A. Lanphere (sometimes referred to as the “Reporting Person”). Mr. Lanphere’s address is: 400 N. Tustin Ave., Suite 225, Santa Ana, CA 92705. Mr. Lanphere is an officer of the Company. During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding.

Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

As noted above, on August 23, 2019, the Reporting Person entered into the Lanphere SEA, under which he acquired 5,206,430 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for 520,643 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were owned by Mr. Lanphere prior to the exchange for common stock.

 

On August 23, 2019, the Reporting Person also entered into the Lanphere SPA, under which he acquired 21,400,745 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for a $96,303.35 reduction in the amount it owes Lanphere under numerous promissory notes. In exchange for the shares of common stock the $96,303.35 due under those notes was extinguished and deemed paid in full.

 

After the acquisition of the 26,607,175 aggregate shares under the Lanphere SEA and the Lanphere SPA, the Reporting Person owned 71,545,623 shares of the Company’s common stock. On August 28, 2019, the Company had 214,626,540 shares of common stock outstanding, making the Reporting Person’s 71,545,623 shares equal to approximately 33.3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

As disclosed in the Explanatory Note and as reported in Item 3, above, the Lanphere SEA and the Lanphere SPA were entered between the Reporting Person and Company so the Reporting Person could exchange all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by the Reporting Person, as well extinguish $96,303.35 in debt owed to him by the Company, respectively, into shares of the Company’s common stock, allowing the Company to remove the debt obligation off its financial statements and cancel his shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Both transactions were done in anticipation of closing the transactions contemplated by APA with IDTEC described above.

 

Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, and the availability of shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Person may endeavor to increase or decrease his position in the Company through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Person may deem advisable.

 

The Reporting Person does not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Person intends to review his investment in the Company on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Company’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the Company as he deems appropriate, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of his Shares, or changing his intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
