Re:
Agreement to Convert Series E
Preferred Stock


 


SHAREHOLDER:


 


You are
being sent this letter (the “Letter Agreement”) as you
are currently the holder of Series E Preferred Shares (the
“Series E Preferred Shares”) issued by Recruiter.com
Group, Inc. (the “Company”). Reference is made to
transaction documents entered into by and among the Company and
SHAREHOLDER pursuant to which you acquired the Series E Preferred
Shares (the “Transaction Documents”).


 



Our Current Financing – Potential Uplisting



 


As you
may be aware, the Company is currently in the process of pursuing a
public offering of its securities, including but not limited to,
its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), to raise up to $12,000,000, and list its securities
onto the NASDAQ (the “Offering”). The Company has filed
a registration statement on Form S-1 with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) related
to the Offering which is being led by Joseph Gunnar & Co. LLC
(the “Underwriter”). In connection with the Offering
and prior to its closing, the Company will be engaging in a reverse
stock split pursuant to which the number of our shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced proportionately based
on the reverse stock split ratio to be determined. The share and
dollar figures in this Letter Agreement are pre-split and the share
amounts actually issued will be adjusted post-split based on the
reverse stock split ratio that is ultimately agreed to by the
Underwriter and the Company. The Company believes that attaining
and maintaining the listing of our shares of Common Stock on NASDAQ
is in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders,
because if listed on NASDAQ, the Company believes that the
liquidity in the trading of its Common Stock could be significantly
enhanced, which could result in an increase in the trading price
and may encourage investor interest and improve the marketability
of our Common Stock to a broader range of investors. The Underwriter has advised the Company that in
order for it to proceed with the Offering and with the
Company’s listing of the Common Stock on NASDAQ, it requires
that certain actions be taken by holders of securities of the
Company. The Company is therefore contacting you and other
holders of the Company’s securities to request they convert
their holdings into Common Stock.


 



What We Need From You

serve as written confirmation that:


 


(1) You

a.

of 180 days beginning on the Effective Date of the Offering (the
“Lock-Up Period”), you will not, without the prior
written consent of the Underwriter, (1) offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any shares of the Common Stock (the
“Shares”) or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired by you or with respect to which you have or
hereafter acquire the power of disposition (collectively, the
“Lock-Up Securities”); (2) enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of
the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities,
whether any such transaction described in clause (1) above or this
clause (2) is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in
cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for or exercise any right
with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (4)
publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or
disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other
arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, you may transfer
Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the
Underwriter in connection with (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up
Securities acquired in open market transactions after the
completion of the Offering; provided that no filing under Section

“Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be
voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Lock-Up
Securities acquired in such open market transactions; (b) transfers
of Lock-Up Securities as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or

charity or educational institution; or (d) if you, directly or
indirectly, control a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other business entity, any transfers of Lock-Up
Securities to any shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of
similar equity interests in such entity, as the case may be;
provided that in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing
clauses (b), (c) or (d), (i) any such transfer shall not involve a
disposition for value, (ii) each transferee shall sign and deliver
to the Underwriter a lock up agreement substantially in the form of
the lock-up provisions of this Letter Agreement and (iii) no filing
under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall
be voluntarily made. You also agree and consent to the entry of
stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent
and registrar against the transfer of your Lock-Up Securities
except in compliance with the lock-up provisions of this Letter
Agreement.
