Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
   
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On December 9, 2020, On Track Innovations Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a loan financing agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jerry L. Ivy, Jr., Descendants’ Trust (the “Lender”), the Controlling Shareholder of the Company (as such term is defined under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, as amended (the “Companies Law”)). The Agreement provides that the Lender will extend a loan to the Company in the amount of up to $1,500,000 (the “Loan Amount”), payable in two tranches: one of $625,000 (the “Initial Tranche”) at the initial closing, and the other of $875,000 at the second closing (the “Second Tranche”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The initial closing is expected to take place on December 21, 2020 (the “Initial Closing”). Additional lender/s may participate in the Second Tranche, subject to the Company’s consent. The Company has agreed to use the proceeds of the Loan Amount to fund the Company’s operations and working capital while the Company explores strategic options.

 

The Loan Amount is secured pursuant to a debenture (the “Debenture”) by a first priority floating charge over all the tangible or intangible assets and other property of the Company as of the date of the Agreement or thereafter acquired (subject only to certain permitted security interests, as set forth in Agreement) (the “Floating Charge”).

 

The Loan Amount and all accrued interest matures upon the elapse of six months following the Initial Closing (the “Maturity Date”), and will be payable in full on the Maturity Date, provided that the maturity date can be extended at the sole option of the majority of the Lenders. The Loan Amount bears interest on all outstanding principal at an interest rate of 8.0% per annum (the “Interest”); provided, however, that upon an extension of the maturity period beyond the Maturity Date, the Interest will automatically increase, effective as of the Maturity Date, to the rate of 10.0% per annum. Also, in case of an extension of the Maturity Date, the accrued interest for the first six months for which the Loan Amount has been outstanding will be payable by the Company to the Lender at the time of the extension, and the accrued Interest for the extension period will be payable by the Company to the Lender on the extended maturity date. In addition, the Company may repay the Initial Tranche and/or the Second Tranche, in whole and not in part, and any accrued Interest thereon, at any time prior to the Maturity Date (as it may be extended), in its sole discretion.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, a second closing (the “Second Closing”) will take place if, among other things, the Company meets certain conditions, including the following: (i) filing of notices for convening of a meeting of the Company’s shareholders for the approval of the Lender’s option to convert the Secured Amount (as defined below) into Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.1 each, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”); (ii) obtaining the approval of the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “IIA”) to include the charge of intellectual property funded by the IIA in the Floating Charge; and (iii) the repayment in full by ASEC S.A. (Spolka Akcyjna), a wholly-owned Polish subsidiary of the Company, of the loan provided to it by PKO Bank Polski (the “Polish Debt”), or the postponement of the maturity date of the Polish Debt to no earlier than December 22, 2021. Pursuant to the Agreement, proceeds of the Loan Amount may not be used by the Company for the purposes of repayment of the Polish Debt.

 

Subject to obtaining the Shareholders’ Approval (as defined below), at any time prior to the repayment in full of the Loan Amount together with Interest accrued and all other amounts outstanding under the Agreement (the “Secured Amount”), the Lender will be entitled, at its sole discretion, to demand to convert (the “Conversion Right”) the entire Secured Amount into Ordinary Shares, at a price per share equal to the lower of (a) $0.20 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of any bonus shares, combinations or splits) and (b) a price per share reflecting a discount to the average closing bid price of an Ordinary Share over the 20 trading days preceding the Initial Closing (the “Benchmark Price”), as follows: (i) if conversion occurs no later than three months after the Initial Closing, the discount will be 20% of the Benchmark Price; (ii) if conversion occurs more than three months but no later than six months after the Initial Closing, the discount will be 30% of the Benchmark Price; (iii) if conversion occurs more than six months after the Initial Closing (to the extent extended in accordance with the terms of the Agreement), the discount will be 50% of the Benchmark Price; and (iv) if conversion occurs upon an event of default, the discount will be 50% of the Benchmark Price.

 

1

 

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Conversion Right will become effective only following the approval thereof by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law, which approval will apply to a controlling shareholder transaction that includes a private offering that may increase the holdings of a controlling shareholder to and above 45% of the share capital of the Company (a “Shareholders' Approval”), and will be deemed of no force or effect at any time prior to obtaining such Shareholders' Approval, if at all. The Company has agreed to convene a shareholders meeting to obtain the Shareholders' Approval no later than 50 days following the Initial Closing.

 

The Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others, failures to repay any amounts due to the Lender, breaches or defaults under the terms of the Agreement, etc. If an event of default occurs, the Secured Amount shall immediately become due and payable, without the need for any notice by the Lender.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and the Debenture are qualified by reference to the full text of the Agreement and the Debenture, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

11.2. Enforceability. The Transaction Agreements to be executed by such Lender, when executed and delivered by such Lender on the Initial Closing or the Second Closing, as the case may be, shall constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such Lender. If such Lender is a corporate entity, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by such Lender will not conflict with or result in a violation of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of such Lender's governing instruments.

 

11.3. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations of such Lender hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, if such Lender is a corporate entity, and will not violate any provision of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is party or by which it is bound, or any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to such Lender which would prevent the execution by such Lender of the Transaction Documents or the performance of its obligations thereunder.

 

11.4. Private Placement. The Lender hereby represents that the shares that may be issuable thereto upon conversion of the Secured Amount shall be acquired for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof. The Lender understands that such shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and the prospectus requirements of the laws of the State of Israel and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Lender’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Lender set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Lender to acquire such shares. At the time the Lender was offered such shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Lender, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Company, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Lender is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. The Lender shall not be purchasing such shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding such shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the Internet or presented at any seminar or meeting any other general advertisement. The Lender acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to: (i) ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering herein and the merits and risks of investing in the Company’s equity; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment and other transactions herein. The Lender agrees to the imprinting (or other evidence) of the following legend, together with such other legends as may be required by applicable law:

 

12

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS SHARE CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR SIMILAR LAWS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION THEREUNDER, AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY OR OTHER COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

 

12. Confidentiality. Each of the Lender(s) and the Company acknowledges that the (i) data and the information obtained by the Lender(s) from the Company or anyone on its behalf prior to or during the term of this Agreement (or after the term of the Agreement by virtue of rights granted under this Agreement) which relate to the Company and/or any Group Company and (ii) the terms and conditions more fully set forth in the Transaction Documents, shall be deemed “confidential information” pursuant to that certain Nondisclosure Agreement between the parties dated January 29, 2020. Each Lender other than the Lead Lender shall enter into a standard nondisclosure agreement in form satisfactory to the Company. Notwithstanding the above, in connection with reports to their shareholders and/or investors, the Lender(s) may, without first obtaining such written consent, make general statements regarding the nature and progress of the Company's business and provide non-confidential data and information. If the Company consents to disclosing non-public material information to a Lender’s shareholders and/or investors, such shareholders and/or investors shall agree to maintain such information in confidence and shall not trade the Company equity while (i) in possession of such non-public material information regarding the Company or (ii) such information has not been disclosed by the Company. Furthermore, the Lender(s) may disclose any data and information to their directors, officers employees and advisors on a need to know basis, provided that such recipients are bound by similar non-disclosure undertakings and prohibitions on trading as the Lender(s)’ undertakings with respect thereto. The Company and the Lead Lender (or the Majority Lender(s), if applicable) shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or similar public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any similar public statement, other than as required by law, without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement. The Lender(s) acknowledge that the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be “material contracts,” as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Investors further agree that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation with its counsel. The Company acknowledges that the Agreement and Debenture (without appendices and exhibits) may be required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act as exhibits to Lead Lender’s Schedule 13D, which determination shall be determined solely by Lead Lender in consultation with its counsel.

THIS DEBENTURE – FLOATING CHARGE (this “Debenture”) is made and entered into as of December 9, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and among On Track Innovations Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, having its principal executive offices at Hatnufa 5, Yokneam Industrial Zone, Box 372, Yokneam 2069200, Israel (the “Company”) and the Lender(s) (as defined under the Loan Agreement).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Lender(s) entered into that certain Loan Financing Agreement, dated as of the same date herewith, 2020 (the “Loan Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, in order to secure the full and punctual payment and performance when due of the Secured Liabilities (as defined below), the Company has agreed to charge and pledge, by way of a first ranking (subject only to the Company Permitted Security Interests (as defined under Appendix D-1 of the Loan Agreement)) floating charge, all of the Company’s assets, in favour of the Lender(s), in accordance with the terms hereof;

 

WHEREAS, the Lead Lender (as such term defined under the Loan Agreement) is the Controlling Shareholder of the Company (as such term is defined under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, as amended), and accordingly this Debenture is structured so it meets the requirements of Regulation 1(5) to the Companies Regulations (Reliefs – Interested Party Transactions) 5760-2000, as amended (the “Reliefs Regulations”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Audit committee of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company have each determined that the provisions of this Debenture are in accordance with Regulation 1(5) of the Reliefs Regulations and in particular that the entering into this Debenture is in the best interest of the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound, the Lender(s) and the Company agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.

 

2. Nature of the Debenture.

 

2.1 Secured Liabilities. This Debenture and the Security Interests (as defined below) created hereby are made to secure the full and punctual payment of sums due and to become due to the Lender(s) from the Company in connection with the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Loan Agreement or any amendment thereof, whether due from the Company alone or jointly with others, whether the Company may have incurred or shall incur liability with respect thereto in the future, as obligor and/or as guarantor and/or as endorser or otherwise, now due or becoming due in the future, which are payable prior to the realisation of the collateral security to which this Debenture is applicable or subsequent thereto, whether due absolutely or contingently, directly or indirectly, unlimited in amount, together with interest, commissions, charges, fees and expenses of whatever nature, including costs of realising the collateral security, lawyers’ fees, insurance, stamp duty and any other payments specified in this Debenture and together with any nature of linkage differences due and becoming due from the Company to the Lender(s) in any manner whatsoever in respect of linked principal and interest and any other linked sum (all such amounts, the “Secured Liabilities”).

 

 

 

 

2.2 Prepayment. Except as specifically permitted under the Loan Agreement, including Section 4.1 thereto, the Lender(s) may decline to accept any prepayment of the Secured Liabilities or pay part thereof prior to the date of maturity thereof, and the Company shall not be entitled to redeem all or any of the Pledged Assets by discharging the Secured Liabilities and/or any part thereof prior to their prescribed maturity dates. Neither the Company nor any person having a right liable to be affected by the pledges and charges hereby created or the realisation thereof shall have any right under Section 13(b) of the Pledge Law, 5727-1967 (the “Pledges Law”), or any other statutory provisions in substitution therefor.

 

3. Security.

 

3.1 Floating Charge. As collateral security for the full and punctual payment or performance when due (whether at stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Liabilities by the Company, the Company hereby, absolutely and unconditionally charges and pledges in favour of the Lender(s) and their successors, by way of first ranking (subject only to the Company Permitted Security Interests) floating charge and pledge all of the Company’s property, assets and rights, now or at any time belonging to or acquired by the Company, and the profits and benefits derived therefrom, including without derogating from the generality of the aforementioned, the property, assets and rights set forth below (hereinafter jointly and severally, the “Pledged Assets”):

 

a) all of the Company’s rights, titles and interests in and to all of its present and future tangible and intangible assets, properties, rights and interests of any kind, whether contingent or absolute, including, without limitation, the assets as detailed in Appendix A attached hereto;

 

b) all present and future rights to compensation, indemnity, insurance proceeds, warranty or guaranty accruing to the Company by reason of the loss of, damage to or expropriation of, or any other event or circumstance with respect to, such Pledged Assets and all proceeds and benefits deriving from such Pledged Assets as listed in Section ‎3.1‎a) above (including, without limitation, those received upon any collection, exchange, sale or other disposition of such Pledged Assets and any property into which such Pledged Assets are converted, whether cash or non-cash);

 

2

 

 

c) all present and future rights, claims and remedies of the Company under and in respect of (i) all contracts and policies of insurance executed and/or issued in relation to the Pledged Assets, from time to time; (ii) all payments to the Company in relation to sub-section (i) above; and (iii) all claims, rights and remedies of the Company arising from sub-sections (i) and/or (ii) above (collectively, the “Insurances”) and any monies paid or payable pursuant thereto whether held in or for the benefit of any trust or other account relative thereto or otherwise; and

 

d) all present and future rights, claims and remedies of the Company under and deriving from the Property Tax and Compensation Fund Law, 5721-1961, as in force from or at any relevant time, and under any other applicable law arising in connection with the Pledged Assets.

 

In addition, to the extent required by applicable law to create and perfect a first ranking floating charge over the Pledged Assets specified in Section 3.1(b)-(d) above, the Company also assigns such Pledged Assets to the Lender(s) by way of first ranking floating charge and pledge.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Pledged Assets shall include the Intellectual Property as defined in Appendix A of this Debenture. However, since a certain portion of the Intellectual Property was funded by the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “IIA” and the “Funded IP”, respectively), the charges and pledges of such Funded IP in favour of the Lender(s) hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the IIA, and this Debenture shall be deemed to apply to such Funded IP only following the IIA’s approval. In addition, the realization of charges and pledges with respect to Funded IP shall be in accordance with provisions of the Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in the Industry Law, 5744-1984 (the “Innovation Law”), and the applicable procedures of the IIA.

 

3.2 First Ranking. The Company specifically acknowledges that, subject only to the Company Permitted Security Interests, all of the Security Interests created by the Company under Section 3 of this Debenture shall rank in priority to any other Security Interests created by the Company.

 

For the purposes hereof, “Security Interest” shall mean (i) any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, hypothecation, assignment by way of security, security interest, title retention or other encumbrance of any kind securing, or any right securing, any obligation of any person, or any other agreement or arrangement having a similar effect; (ii) any arrangement under which moneys or claims to, or the benefit of, a bank or other account, may be set-off or made subject to a combination of accounts so as to affect payments of sums owed or payable to any person; and/or (iii) any other type of preferential arrangement having similar effect.

4. Preservation of Security.

 

4.1 Continuing Security. The Company declares and agrees that the Security Interests created by this Debenture and the powers conferred hereto, shall not be prejudiced or affected by any other agreement between the Company and the Lender(s). The Security Interests created by this Debenture shall remain in force as continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Liabilities and shall remain in full force notwithstanding any settlement of account or any other act, event or matter whatsoever, and, shall be released and discharged upon the full and final payment of the Secured Liabilities. The Lender(s) shall not be bound to enforce any other Security Interests before enforcing the Security Interests created by this Debenture. To the extent that the Company or any third party on behalf of the Company makes a payment to the Lender(s), or the Lender(s) enforce any Security Interest or exercise any right of set-off and such payment or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently avoided or declared by a competent court to be fraudulent or required to be repaid or refunded or reduced by virtue of any applicable law relating to insolvency, administration, receivership, liquidation or similar proceedings, then, the Secured Liabilities or any part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and this Debenture and all Security Interests, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment was not made or such enforcement or set-off did not occurred.

 

4.2 Security Interest Absolute. Neither the liability of the Company under this Debenture nor the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the Lender(s) in respect of the Company under this Debenture, shall be affected, prejudiced or waived by any act, event, omission, circumstance, matter or thing which, whether or not known to the Company or the Lender(s) is (without limitation): (i) any waiver, release, consent, or other indulgence granted to, agreed to be granted to, or composition, compromise or arrangement with any other person; (ii) any failure to exercise any right or remedy under this Debenture, the Loan Agreement and any other Transaction Document; (iii) a single or partial exercise of any right under this Debenture, the Loan Agreement and any other Transaction Document, or of any other right or remedy; (iv) incapacity or lack of powers, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of, the Company or any other person; (v) any amendment or variation (however fundamental), restatement or replacement of this Debenture, the Loan Agreement, Transaction Document, any agreement between the Lender(s) and the Company or any third party or any other document or instrument from time to time entered into between the Company or any third party and the Lender(s); (vi) any variation (however fundamental), waiver or release of any Secured Liability, or any other amendment or waiver of or under any agreement between the Lender(s) and the Company, the Pledged Assets or any document related thereto; or (vii) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of the Company or any other person under this Debenture, the Loan Agreement, any Transaction Document or any other document or security, provided however, that any unenforceable, illegal or invalid obligation of the Company under this Debenture, shall be replaced by an enforceable, legal and valid obligation to the same, or the nearest possible equivalent effect; or (viii) any other fact, circumstance, act, event or omission, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, which would or might otherwise discharge, release, affect or prejudice any of the obligations of the Company contained herein or any of the rights, powers or remedies conferred upon the Lender(s) by this Debenture or by law.

4.3 Liability of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Debenture, the Company shall remain liable to the performance and observance of all of the terms and obligations relating to or constituting the Secured Liabilities or the Pledged Assets. Neither the Lender(s) nor any Receiver (as defined below) shall be under any obligation or liability with respect to the Secured Liabilities or the Pledged Assets by reason of or arising out of this Debenture. Neither the Lender(s) nor any Receiver shall be required in any manner to perform or fulfil any of the obligations of the Company in respect of the Secured Liabilities or the Pledged Assets, or to make any payment, or to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or take any action or to collect any amount or enforce any right or remedy hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Lender(s) and any Receiver provided by the pledges created under this Debenture are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by any applicable law. The exercise by the Lender(s) of any of the rights or remedies under this Debenture shall not release the Company from any of its liabilities or obligations under any agreement between the Lender(s) and the Company; in particular, the application of the Pledged Assets to satisfy part of the Secured Liabilities shall not release the Company from its obligation to pay and perform the unsatisfied part of the Secured Liabilities.

13.2 The Company hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm whatever any such attorney as is mentioned in Section 13.1 above shall do in the exercise, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1, of all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions referred to in.
