On November 1, 2021, JX Luxventure Limited (the “Company”) closed the private placement offering (the “Offering”) of its newly-designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”), in which the Company issued 100,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) for the total gross proceeds of $3,900,000. The Shares were issued to an accredited investor not affiliated with the Company, in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) and the subscription agreement between the investor and the Company, dated as of November 1, 2021. As stated in the Certificate of Designation, shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock vote together with holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company on an as-if-converted basis; have no special dividend right, ranks equal to the Common Stock with respect to rights upon liquidation and are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a 1 do 13 basis at any time following the issuance. However, the conversion is limited to the extent that no conversion may occur if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the holder of such shares at such time, would result in the holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The Offering and the issuance of the Shares were approved by the unanimous board consent of the Company and the affirmative vote of the holders of approximately 60.4% of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Business Corporations Act of the Marshall Islands and the listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The Certificate of Designation and the form of the Subscription Agreement are attached to this Current Report on Form 6-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

(a) Voting Generally. Each Holder shall be entitled to vote with the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, as-if-converted to Common Stock, with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration (whether at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, by written action of stockholders in lieu of a meeting or otherwise), except as provided by law or by the provisions of Section 4(b) below.

b. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, in no event may the Holder convert any shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

 

3

 

 

c. Limitation on the Conversion Subject to the Compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designations, and in addition to the limitation on conversion set forth in Section 5(b) above, if the Corporation determines that the conversion of all or a portion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Holders into shares of Common Stock will result in the number of Common Stock issuable upon such cumulative conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock, will equal or more exceed twenty (20%) percent of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, such cumulative conversion shall be not allowed until the Corporation obtains the affirmative vote for such issuance from the holders of not less than fifty (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, together with the Holders, voting together as a single class on the as-converted basis (the “Shareholder Approval”) required by the listing rules of the Principal Market, provided further that if such conversion will result in the issuance of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten (10%) or more of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, although Shareholder Approval shall not be required, but no such conversion shall be effected until the earlier of fifteen calendar days from the date of the submission of a Listing of Additional Shares Form in compliance with the requirements of the Principal Market, and subject to any other applicable laws.

 

d. Notice of Conversion. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, a Holder shall effect a conversion by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”).  Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the Conversion Date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be less than two Trading Days prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation.  If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder.  To effect conversions of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock with the Notice of Conversion.

 

e. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, either pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, or round-up to the next whole number of shares.  Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock the Holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

4

 

 

f. Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to compliance with limitations set forth in Sections 5(b) and 5(c), no later than ten (10) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall issue, or cause to be issued, to the converting Holder the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, in either (i) uncertificated book-entry form on the stock ledger of the Corporation or (ii) a stock certificate evidencing the shares of Common Stock, and shall send to the registered holder of such shares of Common Stock any notice or statement required by the applicable laws or said certificate. All shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Share Delivery Date, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor as provided herein, and, if applicable, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided herein.

 

g. Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue in accordance with the terms herein, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

6. Certain Adjustments.

 

a. Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If, at any time while the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall subdivide (whether by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be combined (whether by way of stock combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. The Conversion Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 6(a).

 

b. Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification. If, at any time while the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

 

(i) any Common Stock Equivalents, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

 

5

 

 

(ii) additional stock or other securities or property by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 6(a) above),

 

then and in each such case, the Series D Conversion Price shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Holder hereof shall, upon the conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property that such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property. The Series D Conversion Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 6(b).

 

c. Change of Control At any time while the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, if any Change of Control shall be effected, then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Corporation whereby the Holders shall thereafter have the right to receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of the Change of Control, appropriate provision shall be made by the Corporation with respect to the rights and interests of the Holders to the end that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion thereof.

 

7. Status of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Converted or Reacquired. Shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or reacquired by the Corporation in any manner, including shares purchased or redeemed, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of Marshall Islands) have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the class of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series, and may be redesignated and reissued as part of any series of the preferred stock.

(e) The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares and/or the Conversion Shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, none of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Shares and the Conversion Shares are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met.

THESE SHARES REPRESENTED HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

(h) Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved the Shares or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering.

 

(i) The Subscriber and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber and its Advisors, if any.

(n) No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering that are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein.
