Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

As previously reported by Bionik Laboratories Corp. (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2018 (the “Previous 8-K”), existing investors of the Company loaned to the Company an aggregate of $668,928 (the “Original Loans”), representing the first tranche borrowed pursuant to a newly launched up to $6,000,000 convertible note offering (the “Offering”). An aggregate of $306,255 of the Original Loans was loaned by an affiliate of Andre Auberton-Herve, the Chairman of the Company. As of June 28, 2018, the Company and the investors in the Offering finalized the terms of the convertible promissory notes to evidence the Original Loans and the Loans (as defined herein) made in connection with the Offering, which such terms are described herein.

 

On June 28, 2018, an existing investor (the “Lender”) of the Company subscribed for a convertible promissory note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 (collectively, the “Lender Note”) and loaned to the Company an aggregate of $305,370 (the “Lender Loan”). The Lender Loan represents the second tranche borrowed pursuant to the Offering, for total borrowed principal through June 28, 2018 of approximately $2,965,491 (which amount includes the Affiliate Loans (as defined below)).

 

As previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Reports on Form 8-K, an affiliate of Remi Gaston Dreyfus, a director of the Company (the “Affiliate”), loaned an aggregate of $1,960,000 (the “Affiliate Loans”, and together with the Lender Loan, the “Loans”) to the Company evidenced by promissory notes, dated April 12, 2018, April 26, 2018, May 10, 2018, May 24, 2018, June 12, 2018, and June 22, 2018 (collectively, the “Original Notes”). As of June 28, 2018, the Company and the Affiliate entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), whereby the Original Notes were terminated and exchanged for a convertible promissory note for the same principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Original Notes through June 28, 2018, and issued pursuant to the terms of the Offering with an issue date as of June 28, 2018, for a total aggregate principal amount of $1,991,193 (the “New Note”, and together with the Lender Note, the “Notes”). The foregoing is a brief description of the terms of the Exchange Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Loans for the Company’s working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month, beginning on the Issue Date (as defined in the Notes). Interest will be computed based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be payable, along with the principal amount, on the earlier of: (a) July 20, 2018 and (b) the consummation of a Qualified Financing (as defined in the Notes)(the “Maturity Date”).

 

The Notes will be convertible into equity of the Company upon the following events on the following terms:

 

· On the Maturity Date without any action on the part of the holders, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Notes will be converted into shares of New Round Stock (as defined in the Notes) based upon a ten percent (10%) discount to the lesser of (A) the VWAP (as defined in the Notes) average of the last 30 calendar days ending on the closing of the Qualified Financing (or, in the event of multiple closings, the lowest VWAP average of the last 30 calendar days ending on each closing of a Qualified Financing) in the event of a Maturity Date referred to in clause (b) of the definition thereof, or (B) the VWAP average of the last 30 calendar days before the Maturity Date in the event of a Maturity Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof.

 

· Upon a Change of Control transaction (as defined in the Notes) prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Notes would, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal of the Notes, be either (i) payable upon demand as of the closing of such Change of Control transaction or (ii) convertible into shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to such Change of Control transaction at a price per share equal to the lesser of (x) the VWAP average of the last 30 days before the date of consummation of the Change of Control, or (y) the per share consideration to be received by the holders of the Common Stock in such Change of Control transaction.

 

 

 

 

The Notes contain an anti-dilution provision that provides that if the Company consummates a firm commitment, underwritten offering of its common stock by March 27, 2019, and the price per share thereof (the “Offering Price”) is less than the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes), then in such event the Company shall issue to the holders, at no further cost to the holders, additional shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares (as defined in the Notes) the holders would have received upon conversion if the Conversion Price equaled the Offering Price, less the number of shares of Conversion Shares actually issued on the Maturity Date.

 

The Notes contain customary events of default, which, if uncured, entitle the holders to accelerate the due date of the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, their Notes.

 

The description of the Notes described herein applies to all of the convertible promissory notes issued to investors in the Offering, including the investors disclosed in the Previous 8-K.

 

The foregoing is a brief description of the subscription of the Notes and the terms of the Notes and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Notes, the form of which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The disclosure set forth above in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the issuance of the Notes is incorporated by reference herein. The Notes and, unless subsequently registered, the shares underlying the Notes, will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Regulation D promulgated thereunder and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

On the Maturity Date without any action on the part of the Holder, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Notes will be converted into shares of New Round Stock based upon a ten percent (10%) discount to the lesser of (A) the VWAP average of the last 30 calendar days ending on the closing of the Qualified Financing (or, in the event of multiple closings, the lowest VWAP average of the last 30 calendar days ending on each closing of a Qualified Financing) in the event of a Maturity Date referred to in clause (b) of the definition thereof, or (B) the VWAP average of the last 30 calendar days before the Maturity Date in the event of a Maturity Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof (the “ Conversion Price ”).

 

(b)       Conversion upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control transaction occurs prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note would, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal of the Notes, be either (i) payable upon demand as of the closing of such Change of Control transaction or (ii) convertible into shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to such Change of Control transaction at a price per share equal to the lesser of (x) the VWAP average of the last 30 days before the date of consummation of the Change of Control, or (y) the per share consideration to be received by the holders of the Common Stock in such Change of Control transaction.

 

(c)       Cancellation. Upon and as of the Maturity Date, this Note will be cancelled on the books and records of the Company and shall solely represent the right to receive the Conversion Shares.

3.2        Delivery of Securities Upon Conversion.

 

(a)        As soon as is practicable after the Maturity Date or an event pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else to the contrary in this Note and the Subscription Agreement, if and to the extent the Company does not have enough authorized and unreserved shares to issue Common Stock to the holders of notes in the Offering (the “ Current Offering Noteholders ”), the Company shall first issue the necessary and applicable shares upon conversion to the Current Offering Noteholders as of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 3.1(a), upon the earlier of (i) a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) an increase of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, in either case which would allow for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Note without violating the authorized share number of the Company.

 

(b)        The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of securities. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Conversion Shares so issued upon such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

3.3        Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. If any conversion of this Note would create a fractional share or a right to acquire a fractional share, the Company shall round to the nearest whole number.

 

3.4        Anti-Dilution. In the event the Company consummates a firm commitment, underwritten offering of its common stock by March 27, 2019, and the price per share thereof (the “ Offering Price ”) is less than the Conversion Price, then in such event the Company shall issue to the Holder, at no further cost to the Holder, additional shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares the Holder would have received upon conversion if the Conversion Price equaled the Offering Price, less the number of shares of Conversion Shares actually issued on the Maturity Date.

 

4.       STATUS; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

 

4.1        Status of Note. This Note is a direct, general and unconditional obligation of the Company, and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity.
