Section 1— Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On May 30, 2013, Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition (the “Voluntary Petition”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). With respect to the operations of the Company after filing, the existing board of directors and officers of the Company will continue to operate its business in the ordinary course as a “debtor-in-possession,” subject to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Voluntary Petition did not include the Company’s operating subsidiaries. As a result, those subsidiaries will continue to operate in the normal course of business, allowing all customers and vendors to continue to transact business with the Company and its subsidiaries as in the past without any interruption.

Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

Reference is made to the disclosure provided in response to Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the filing of the Voluntary Petition by the Company, which disclosure is incorporated herein by this reference. The filing of the Voluntary Petition by the Company constituted an event of default or termination event under certain instruments and agreements relating to direct financial obligations of the Company (the “Accelerated Direct Financial Obligations”). Any efforts to enforce the payment obligations under the Accelerated Direct Financial Obligations are stayed as a result of the filing of the Voluntary Petition, and any creditors’ purported rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code. The material Accelerated Direct Financial Obligations include:

 

   

the Company’s Promissory Note and Security Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2008, with Vantage Bank, f/k/a San Antonio National Bank, as amended to date (the “Vantage Note”)

 

   

the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2010, with Thermo Credit, LLC, as amended to date (the “Thermo Credit Loan Agreement”);

 

   

the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2010, with ATV Ventures IV, LP, as amended to date (the “ATV IV Loan Agreement”); and

 

   

the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2011, with ATVF II, LLC, as amended to date (the “ATVF Loan Agreement”).

As of the date of this filing, the Company has approximately $12,731 outstanding under the Vantage Note, $255,450 outstanding under the Thermo Credit Agreement, $122,224 outstanding under the ATV IV Loan Agreement and $476,736 under the ATVF Loan Agreement. The Company was in default under most, if not all, of the Accelerated Direct Financial Obligations prior to the filing of the Voluntary Petition.
