ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On August 7, 2000, Muse Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a
Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between the Company and
Kingsbridge Capital Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Kingsbridge").
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to Kingsbridge, a
convertible note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $1,000,000. Interest on
the Note accrues at the rate of 10% per annum. The Note is convertible,
commencing on August 7, 2001, into shares of common stock of the Company at the
lower of $2.375 per share and 88% of the five-day trading average prior to the
date of conversion.
The Company also issued to Kingsbridge a warrant ("Warrant") to purchase
75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.6125 per share in
connection with the Purchase Agreement. The Warrant is not exercisable until
August 7, 2001 and will expire on August 6, 2005. The shares underlying the
Warrant are required be registered prior to August 7, 2001. The Warrant also
contains certain customary anti-dilution protections.
In the event the registration statement covering the shares issuable upon
conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant is not declared effective in
a timely manner, then the Company will be subject to certain liquidated damages
