Convertible Loan Agreement
On February 4, 2022, Altamira Therapeutics Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in Bermuda (“we”, the “Company” or the “Borrower”), entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with FiveT Investment Management Ltd. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to loan to the Borrower CHF 5,000,000 (the “Loan”), which Loan bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matures 12 months from the date (the “Disbursement Date”) the Loan proceeds are disbursed to the Borrower.
The Borrower may prepay all or part of the Loan after six months after the Disbursement Date; provided that the Borrower will pay an amount equal to 130% of the desired prepayment amount. Subject to certain notice periods, the Lender shall have the right to accelerate repayment of the Loan upon any event of default under the Loan Agreement, which includes if the Borrower fails to make any required payment under the Loan or breach any other material obligation thereunder. In addition, upon a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the Loan Agreement) with respect to the Borrower, the Loan Agreement will become due within 10 days after the transaction in an amount equal to the higher of (i) the outstanding balance, including principal and accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) the amount that would have been payable to the Lender as a result of the Change of Control Transaction if the Lender had converted such outstanding balance into common shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.01 per share of the Borrower (the “Borrower Shares”) under the Loan Agreement immediately prior to the completion of the transaction.
From the date that is five trading days after the Disbursement Date until the maturity date of the Loan Agreement, the Lender will have the right to convert all or part of the Loan, including accrued and unpaid interest, at its option, into Borrower Shares, subject to the limitation that the Lender own no more than 9.99% of the Borrower Shares at any time. The conversion price of the Loan into Borrower Shares will be an amount equal to 150% of the trading volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) per Borrower Share on the NASDAQ stock exchange on the Disbursement Date (subject to adjustment for share splits or other similar events), converted into Swiss Francs at the midpoint of the interbank exchange rate shown by UBS on the day of receipt of the conversion notice at 4:00 pm Central European Time. The conversion price shall be lowered in the event that the Borrower raises equity before the maturity date of the Loan through a public or private offering of Borrower Shares at an issue price that is at least 10 (ten) % below the VWAP (the “New Issue”), according to the formula set forth in the Loan Agreement (the “Adjustment”). Sales of Borrower Shares through equity line or at-the-market programs are not considered New Issues triggering the Adjustment.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form F-3 (or other appropriate form) as soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 days of the Disbursement Date) providing for the resale by the Lender of the Borrower Shares that may be issued upon any conversion of the Loan and to use its best efforts to cause such resale registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 60 days following the Disbursement Date (or, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, the 90th calendar day following the Disbursement Date).
The Borrower Shares are being sold by the Company to the Lender under the Loan Agreement in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

8. | Conversion |
8.1. | Conversion Right |
(a) | Subject to Section 8.2, the Lender has the right to request (the Conversion Right) full conversion of the total outstanding principal amount under (i) the Loan or (ii) one or several Loan Unit(s), in each case including all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon as per the date of the Conversion Notice (the Conversion Amount), into Common Shares; the number of such Common Shares issuable or deliverable to the Lender shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price (such number of such Common Shares, the Conversion Shares). |
(b) | The Lender may exercise the Conversion Right at any time from the date which is 5 (five) Trading Days following the Disbursement Date until no later than the Maturity Date by giving written notice to AMTL, substantially in the form as set out in Annex 8.1(b) (the Conversion Notice). The Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable and cannot be cancelled or withdrawn by the Lender. |
8.2. | Limitations of Conversion Right |
The Lender’s Conversion Right shall be subject to the following limitations:
(a) | No Conversion shall result in the beneficial ownership of the Lender or any of its Affiliates at any time of more than 9.99% of all issued and outstanding Common Shares (the Conversion Cap), it being understood and agreed by the Parties that such Conversion Cap shall not be exceeded by any of the Lender and/or its Affiliates alone or together. The Conversion Cap may be terminated by the Lender by giving 61 (sixty-one) calendar days prior written notice to AMTL. |
5/18
Convertible Loan Agreement
(b) | The limitations as per Sections 5(c) and 7(c). |
8.3. | Conversion Price |
(a) | The conversion price applicable for any AMTL Conversion (the Conversion Price) shall be the amount equal to 150% of the trading volume weighted average price (the VWAP) per AMTL Common Share of the NASDAQ stock exchange on the Disbursement Date (subject to adjustment for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse share splits or other similar events occurring after the date hereof), converted into Swiss Francs at the midpoint of the interbank exchange rate shown by UBS on the day of receipt of the Conversion Notice at 4:00 pm Central European Time. |
(b) | The Conversion Price shall be lowered in the event that AMTL raises equity before the Maturity Date through a public or private offering of Common Shares at an issue price that is at least 10 (ten) % below the VWAP (the New Issue), according to the following formula (the Adjustment): |
CP2 | = CP1 * (A+B) / (A+C), where: |
CP2 | = New Conversion Price |
CP1 | = Previous Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to New Issue |
A | = Number of Common Shares deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to New Issue |
B | = Aggregate gross consideration received by AMTL with respect to the New Issue divided by VWAP |
C | = Number of Common Shares issued in the New Issue |
For the avoidance of doubt, sales of Common Shares by AMTL through equity line or “at-the-market” programs are not considered New Issues triggering an Adjustment.
6/18
Convertible Loan Agreement
8.4. | Conversion |
(a) | In case the Lender opts for a Conversion, the Lender shall, simultaneously with the Conversion Notice, submit to AMTL (whereby by e-mail is sufficient) a calculation sheet evidencing the calculation of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8.3 and the number of Conversion Shares issuable or deliverable to the Lender. Promptly upon receipt, AMTL shall notify the Lender (whereby by e-mail is sufficient) of any Objections (which shall include a brief explanation of such Objections) it may have and any further actions or documents required to be taken or provided by the Lender for the issuance of the relevant number of AMTL Conversion Shares out of AMTL’s authorized share capital. The Parties agree to settle any Objections in good faith and promptly. |
(b) | Any fractional Conversion Shares resulting from any Conversion shall be disregarded and the number of Conversion Shares to be issued or delivered to the Lender shall be rounded down to the next whole number without any further compensation. |
(c) | AMTL shall take all actions, execute all documents and make all declarations as may be necessary or appropriate, and the Lender shall cooperate as necessary and appropriate, to give full effect to the Conversion and ensure that the Conversion Shares are duly issued or delivered to the Lender by crediting the depository account of the Lender (as designated by the Lender in the Conversion Notice) by no later than 2 (two) Trading Days following the date of receipt of the original of the Conversion Notice or, in case of any Objections, promptly upon settlement by the Parties of the Objections. |
(d) | AMTL shall procure that any Conversion Shares issued or delivered to the Lender under this Agreement will, no later than 2 (two) Trading Days after the date on which the Conversion Shares have been issued or delivered, be listed on the NASDAQ and become tradable without any restrictions on the NASDAQ. |
7/18
Convertible Loan Agreement
(e) | As soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 calendar days of the Disbursement Date), AMTL shall file a registration statement on Form F-3 (or other appropriate form) providing for the resale by the Lender of the Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon any Conversion. Such registration statement shall cover an amount (the Initial Required Amount”) of AMTL Conversion Shares equal to (i) the original principal amount of the Loan on the Disbursement Date divided by (ii) the VWAP. AMTL shall use best efforts to cause such resale registration statement to become effective within 60 days following the Disbursement Date (or, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, the 90th calendar day following the Disbursement Date) and to keep the registration statement effective at all times until (the following date, the Registration End Date) the earlier of (1) the date as of which the Lender may sell AMTL Conversion Shares without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 (as defined below) and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act or (2) the later of (x) the date on which no principal or Interest remains outstanding under the Loan or (y) the date on which the Lender no longer owns any AMTL Conversion Shares. In addition, if at any time following the three-calendar month anniversary of the Disbursement Date but prior to the Registration End Date AMTL has issued a number of AMTL Conversion Shares that equals or exceeds the Initial Required Amount then AMTL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more additional resale registration statements so as to cover any additional AMTL Conversion Shares that may be issuable under this Agreement at such time, determined using the VWAP. |
