RMHB and Rayburn entered into a convertible prom

RMHB and Rayburn entered into a convertible promissory note dated February 2, 2015 for the original principal amount of $165,000 (with a $5,000 original issue discount). On August 29, 2015, RMHB paid to Rayburn $197,773.95, representing return of principal and interest earned during the life of the loan. On February 19, 2016, Rayburn issued an additional demand of interest and penalties totaling $99,487.92. Rayburn has charged $137,261.87 in interest and penalties on a $160,000 loan for one year and 17 days for an effective annual interest rate of 85.77%. As additional consideration for the note, RMHB was required to issue a warrant to Rayburn for 10,000,000 of common stock.
RMHB sued Rayburn for violation of Florida Usury Laws. RMHB seeks a cancellation of the note and additional monetary recovery in the total amount paid to Rayburn, plus additional recovery for all usurious interest charged. RMHB also seeks to void the warrant for 10,000,000 shares of common stock, which was issued under a voidable note. The amount which RMHB seeks from Rayburn is in excess of $300,000.
On March 14, 2016, RMHB amended the Rayburn suit to add Meadows as a party Defendant. RMHB has asserted usury claims in connection with $1,500,000 demand convertible note referenced below in the section pertaining to the Meadows Arbitration Claim. RMHB seeks unspecified monetary damages in connection with the Meadows Note, and further seeks cancellation of a warrant for 41,454,851 shares of common stock issued to Meadows in connection with the Meadows Note and cancellation of the Meadows Note. RMHB also seeks additional monetary damages from Meadows for his violations of SEC and other applicable securities laws in connection with his perpetration of a fraud on the public securities market and relating to the loss of value to both RMHB’s shareholders and to RMHB as a business entity. RMHB will vigorously contest all claims of Meadows and aggressively seek monetary damages against Meadows.
During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company issued 68,220,350 shares of common stock for the conversion of $104,220 of convertible debt to Roy Meadows and Trinexus, Inc. (a corporation formed and controlled by Mr. Meadows to which he sold a portion of his convertible debt) prior to executing the exchange agreement to Series C preferred stock. These issuances gave Mr. Meadows in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock, making him a Control Person.
In this lawsuit, the Company demands the forgiveness of any debt owed to Mr. Meadows, cancellation of all his warrants, the return of the Series C preferred shares held by Mr. Meadows, and the return of all interest and principal paid to Ms. Rayburn under her usurious note with the Company. Additionally, the Company seeks disgorgement of all profits earned by Mr. Meadows and Ms. Rayburn as a result of their usurious notes and profits on trading RMHB common stock. Total damages sought from Mr. Meadows and Ms. Rayburn may exceed $20 million.
