Exhibit 10.12

 

CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2025 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among Cuentas, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and World Mobile Group Ltd. or its assigns (collectively, the “Lenders” and each a “Lender”).

 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to provide for the sale and issuance of a Note or Notes (as defined below) in return for the provision by the Lenders of such loans to the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties intend for the Company to issue in return for such loans one or more Notes that are convertible into Shares of the Company’s capital stock or other consideration as set forth in the Notes.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Sale and Issuance of Notes.

 

1.1 The Notes. Each Lender agrees, on the terms of and subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement and the Notes, to lend to the Company the sum set forth below such Lender’s name on the signature page attached to this Agreement (the “Applicable Loan Amount”). With respect to each loan made by the Lenders hereunder and any other person or entity who becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 1.1(b) hereof, each Lender will receive a convertible promissory note from the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a “Note” and collectively the “Notes”). The equity securities into which the Notes are convertible are referred to as the “Shares.” The target aggregate principal amount of Notes to be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00). For the avoidance of doubt, there is no minimum offering amount.

 

1.2 Closing; Delivery.

 

(a) Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Notes (the “Closing”) will be held remotely via the parties’ exchange of documents and signatures on the date of this Agreement, or at such other time and place as the parties hereto shall mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).

 

(b) Delivery. At the Closing, each Lender purchasing Notes in such Closing shall execute and deliver the signature page to this Agreement, together with the Applicable Loan Amount, by check payable to the Company or by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company. Upon acceptance thereof by the Company, the Company shall deliver promptly to each Lender an executed Note dated as of the applicable Closing Date in the principal amount set forth below such Lender’s name on the signature page attached to this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

1.3 No Usury. This Agreement and each Note issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment or advancement of loan proceeds, acceleration of maturity of the loan evidenced hereby, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders hereunder for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by the laws of the State of Arizona. If at any time the performance of any provision hereof or any Note involves a payment exceeding the limit of the price that may be validly charged for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money under applicable law, then automatically and retroactively, that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal, it being the specific intent of the Company and the Lenders that all payments under this Agreement or any Note are to be credited first to interest as permitted by law, but not in excess of (a) the agreed rate of interest set forth in the Note or (b) that permitted by law, whichever is lesser, and the balance toward the reduction of principal. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be superseded or waived and shall control over every other provision of this Agreement and of any Note.

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Lender that, except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement, which exceptions shall be deemed to be part of the representations and warranties made hereunder, the following representations are true and complete as of the date of the Closing, except as otherwise indicated. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in this Section 2, and the disclosures in any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections in this Section 2 only to the extent it is readily apparent from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections.

 

2.1  Organization, Good Standing, Corporate Power and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.2  Capitalization. 

 

(a) The authorized capital of the Company consists, immediately prior to the Initial Closing, of:

 

(i) 2,730,058 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), 2,730,058 shares of which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Closing.

 

(ii) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock have been duly authorized, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

(b) The Company has reserved 183,077 shares of Common Stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to its 2021 and 2023 Share Incentive Plans duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) and approved by the Company stockholders (the “Stock Plan”).

(c) Section 2.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the summary capitalization of the Company immediately following the Closing including the aggregate number of shares of, or issuable pursuant to, each of the following: (i) issued and outstanding Common Stock, including, with respect to restricted Common Stock; (ii) outstanding stock options; (iii) shares of Common Stock reserved for future award grants under the Stock Plan; (iv) issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, by series; and (v) warrants or stock purchase rights, if any. Except for (A) the conversion privileges of the Shares to be issued under this Agreement, and (B) the securities and rights described in Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement and Section 2.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal or similar rights) or agreements, orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from the Company any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock and all shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding options are subject to (i) a right of first refusal in favor of the Company upon any proposed transfer (other than transfers for estate planning purposes); and (ii) a lock-up or market standoff agreement of not less than 180 days following the Company’s initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

 

2.3  Authorization. All corporate action required to be taken by the Board of Directors and the Company’s stockholders in order to authorize the Company to enter into this Agreement, the Notes and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Letter (the “Transaction Agreements”), and to issue the Shares at the Closing and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. All action on the part of the officers of the Company necessary for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements, the performance of all obligations of the Company under the Transaction Agreements to be performed as of the Closing, and the issuance and delivery of the Shares has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. The Transaction Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

2.4  Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4, there is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, complaint, charge or investigation pending or to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened (i) against the Company or any Officer or director of the Company arising out of their employment or Board of Directors relationship with the Company; (ii) to the Company’s knowledge, that questions the validity of the Transaction Agreements or the right of the Company to enter into them, or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements; or (iii) that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its Officers or directors is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality (in the case of Officers or directors, such as would affect the Company). There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company pending or which the Company intends to initiate. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened in writing (or any basis therefor known to the Company) involving the prior employment of any of the Company’s employees, their services provided in connection with the Company’s business, any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers.

2.5  Compliance with Other Instruments.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i) a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, contract or agreement; or (ii) an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company.

 

2.6  Rights of Registration and Voting Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.6, the Company is not under any obligation to register under the Securities Act any of its currently outstanding securities or any securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of its currently outstanding securities.

2.8  Permits. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.8, the Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business, the lack of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.10    Disclosure. The Company has made available to the Lenders all the information that the Lenders have requested for deciding whether to acquire the Shares. No representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule, and no certificate furnished or to be furnished to Lenders at the Closing contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, to the Company’s knowledge, omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

 

3. Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. In connection with the transactions provided for herein, each Lender, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

3.1 Binding Obligation. Each of this Agreement and the Note issued to the Lender is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Lender.

 

3.2 Investment Experience. Such Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In addition, such Lender is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Note and the Shares.

 

3.3 Investment Intent; Restricted Securities. Such Lender is acquiring the Note and the Shares for investment for such Lender’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Such Lender understands that neither the Note nor the Shares has been registered under the 1933 Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. Such Lender understands that the Note and the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Lender must hold the Note or the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered under the 1933 Act and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Such Lender understands that no public market now exists for the Note or the Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Note or the Shares.

3.4 Disclosure of Information; Non-Reliance. Such Lender acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to enable it to make an informed decision concerning an investment in the Note and the Shares. Such Lender further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note and the Shares. Such Lender confirms that the Company has not given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Note or the Shares. In deciding to purchase the Note, such Lender is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and has made its own independent decision that the investment in the securities is suitable and appropriate for such Lender. Such Lender understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Note and the Shares or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.

 

3.5 Residence. If such Lender is an individual, then such Lender resides in the state or province identified in the address shown on such Lender’s signature page hereto. If such Lender is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then such Lender’s principal place of business is located in the state or province identified in the address shown on such Lender’s signature page hereto.
