Convertible Debt Holder

 

Re: Inducement Offer to Convert Convertible Notes

 

Dear Holder:

 

SOBR Safe, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer to you (the “Holder”) the opportunity to convert some or all of the Senior Convertible Notes issued on March 9, 2023 (the “Applicable Notes”) currently held by Holder at a reduced conversion price pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Applicable Notes equal to the lesser of (i) $0.6200 and (ii) the then existing conversion price of the Applicable Notes (such lesser price, the “Notes Conversion Price”). The reduction of the conversion price to the Notes Conversion Price shall be contingent upon, and shall apply to, the Holder’s simultaneous conversion of a minimum of 25% of the principal amount of Applicable Notes held by Holder on the date hereof (not including any accrued and unpaid interest or interest capitalized from and after the issuance date of the Applicable Notes). Upon such initial conversion, the reduction of the Notes Conversion Price shall continue indefinitely. Also, if and only if Holder elects to convert 25% or more of the principal amount of the Applicable Notes held by Holder on the date hereof (not including any accrued and unpaid interest or interest capitalized from and after the issuance date of the Applicable Notes), the exercise price in the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued on March 9, 2023 (the “Applicable Warrants”) currently held by Holder shall be permanently reduced to equal the lesser of (i) $0.6200 and (ii) the then existing exercise price of the Applicable Warrants (such lesser price, the “Warrants Exercise Price”). The shares of common stock of the Company underlying the Applicable Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The shares of common stock of the Company underlying the Applicable Warrants (“Warrant Shares”) have been registered for resale pursuant to registration statement Form S-1 (File No. 333-271247) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement is currently effective and, upon exercise of the Applicable Warrants as contemplated by this letter agreement, will be effective for the resale of the Warrant Shares. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Applicable Notes.

 

Expressly subject to the paragraph immediately preceding this paragraph, Holder may accept this offer by signing this letter below and converting some or all of the Applicable Notes pursuant to the terms contemplated hereby. The Company hereby notifies Holder that after giving effect to any conversion of Applicable Notes with the Notes Conversion Price, pursuant to anti-dilution provisions set forth in the warrants issued on September 28, 2022, the exercise price set forth therein will be reduced to the Notes Conversion Price.

 

Additionally, the Company agrees to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto.
