10. DEBENTURES

 

In June 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreements”) with arm’s-length accredited institutional investors (the “Investors”) for the sale of debentures, which are convertible into the Company’s common shares in an aggregate principal amount of up to $47,025,000 with a 10% original issue discount (the “Debentures”). On June 30, 2022, the Company consummated the closing for the sale of (i) the initial debenture in the principal amount of $14,025,000 for gross proceeds of $12,750,000, after considering the 10% original issue discount (“First Tranche Debentures”). In addition, the Investors received 91 warrants at a strike price of $12,210.00, which expired on December 31, 2025 (the “First Tranche Warrants” and the issuance of the First Tranche Debentures and the Frist Tranche Warrants, the “First Tranche”). The First Tranche Warrants and First Tranche Debentures each have down-round provisions whereby the conversion and strike prices will be adjusted downward if the Company issues equity instruments at lower prices. The First Tranche Warrants strike price, and the First Tranche Debenture conversion price will be adjusted down to the effective conversion price of the issued equity instruments. The transaction costs incurred in relation to first tranche were $1,634,894. The Debentures are senior to all other indebtedness or claims in right of payment, other than indebtedness secured by purchase money security interests.

 

The Investors had the right to purchase additional tranches of $5,000,000 each, up to a total additional principal amount of $33,000,000.

 

From January 2023 through May 2024, the Investors purchased additional tranches under the Purchase Agreements under similar terms as the First Tranche for an aggregate principal amount of $13,059,923.
