On March 1, 2019, Accelerize Inc.

The Beedie Amendment changed the prepayment fee of the Beedie Facility such that the Company will pay to Beedie a fee of approximately $720,000 upon prepayment of the Beedie Facility. In connection with the Beedie Amendment, the Company changed the exercise price of the 7,435,000 warrants to purchase common stock previously issued to Beedie from $0.35 per share to $0.15 per share and issued to Beedie a warrant (the “Beedie Warrant”) to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications. The Beedie Warrant is exercisable for cash until January 25, 2024. The Beedie Warrant will be exercisable on a cashless basis at its expiration if notice of expiration is not timely provided by the Company to Beedie. The Beedie Warrant was issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving a public offering. The description of the Beedie Warrant is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Beedie Warrant, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference.
