Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Furthermore, the percentages set forth in this column are based on 193,645,502 shares of the Issuer’s common stock issued and outstanding, inclusive of shares issued to Mr. Calton in the transaction described herein, as of December 30, 2019.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
The title and class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is the common stock, $0.0002 par value, of The Coretec Group Inc., an Oklahoma Corporation (the "Company"). The principal offices of the Issuer are located at 6804 South Canton Avenue, Suite 150, Tulsa, OK 74136.
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a) This statement is filed on behalf of Simon Calton.
(b) The Reporting Persons’ business address is 6804 South Canton Avenue, Suite 150, Tulsa, OK 74136.
(c) The Reporting person is currently employed as a Co-Chairman and Director of the Company. The Company has a business address at 6804 South Canton Avenue, Suite 150, Tulsa, OK 74136 and is primarily engaged in the business of developing, testing, and providing new and/or improved technologies, products, and service solutions for medical, electronic, photonic, display, and lighting markets among others.

(e) During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result thereof was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
On December 27, 2019, the Carlton James Ltd. (“Carlton James”), of which Reporting Person is a member, converted $509,673.42 in outstanding convertible promissory notes into 23,166,974 shares of common stock. The debt was converted at a conversion price of $0.022 (the “Conversion Price”), which price was determined by the Registrant’s Board of Directors at a time during which the price of common stock was quoted significantly lower than the price quoted immediately prior to this Schedule 13D. Carlton James is a company owned by Mr. Simon Calton.
As previously reported, on October 4, 2019 the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and related convertible promissory note with Diversified Alpha Fund of Navigator Global Fund Manager Platform SPC, a Grand Cayman entity (the “Lender” or “DAF”). After communications between the Company and Lender, and in preparation of the Credit Agreement, the Board agreed to and approved the conversion of the debt into shares of the Common Stock at the Conversion Price at any time prior to December 31, 2019. In seeking the capital raise with the Lender, and in order to clean up the Company’s balance sheet, it was apparent to the Board that maintaining the debt on the Company’s books was incompatible with the intent of the capital raise with the Lender and the continued draw downs anticipated under the Credit Agreement. The debt was initially arranged by the Company after a significant, yet unsuccessful, search to secure third party financing. Furthermore, since the Lenders were willing to convert such debt into shares of common Stock, the Company, believing it to be in its best interest and a necessary component to continuing to draw down debt pursuant to the Credit Agreement, agreed with the conversion of such debt.
On October 15, 2019, the Company received $106,483 ($125,000 net of $3,750 commitment fee, $6,250 advance interest and $8,157 legal fees), the first advance of financing ($2,500,000) under the Credit Agreement with DAF. DAF is a mutual fund managed by The Carlton James Group. Simon Calton is the Chief Executive Officer of The Carlton James Group and also the Co-Chairman of Coretec.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
All of the Issuer’s securities owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes only. Except as set forth above and herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider their positions with respect to the Issuer and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of such matters, but has no present intention of doing so.
