Due to Innovest Global

During the periods prior to the year ended September 30, 2022, Innovest Global, Inc. (“Innovest”) advanced funds to the Company for operating expenses in the amount of $86,217. As of September 30, 2024, the amount has not been reimbursed to Innovest. Our former Chairman Daniel Martin was the CEO of Innovest when the funds were advanced.

Due to TN3 LLC

On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into a preferred stock redemption agreement with Daniel G. Martin, at the time, sole board member and chairman, TN3, LLC, a company owned by Mr. Martin, Dwain K. Irvin, the chief executive officer, and Irvin Consulting, LLC, a company owned by Dr. Irvin. TN3 owned 25,000 shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the redemption agreement, on March 14, 2022, NovAccess redeemed 24,400 of the preferred shares and Irvin Consulting purchased 600 of the preferred shares from TN3. The Company also issued to TN3 1,502,670 shares of unregistered common stock, at $ 0.35 amounting to $525,934 which was equal to 10% of our outstanding common stock on the date the redemption agreement was signed. Upon completion of the redemption transaction, the Company was obligated to pay TN3 a total of $250,000 over a period of eleven months, with payment accelerated if the Company raises at least $2.5 million of equity capital. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owed TN3 $95,000 of the redemption price and was in default.

Also in connection with closing the redemption transaction, on March 14, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock distribution agreement with Innovest Global, Inc. Innovest acquired 7.5 million shares of the common stock when Innovest sold StemVax, LLC to NovAccess in September 2020. Pursuant to the stock distribution agreement, Innovest agreed to distribute its NovAccess common stock to Innovest’s shareholders. Innovest has not completed the distribution.
