Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 13, 2018, Loop Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) sold convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), together with related warrants to acquire 50% of the shares issued upon the exercise of the Notes (the “Warrants”) to accredited investors (“Investors”), pursuant to note and warrant purchase agreements entered into by and between the Company and each Investor (the “Purchase Agreements”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.45 million (the “Private Placement”).  The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

Pursuant to the terms of each Note, the Company promises to pay Investors the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with interest at a rate equal to 8.00% per annum. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) May 13, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”), or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Notes, such amounts are declared due and payable by the Investor or made automatically due and payable, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Notes. Upon the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest shall automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at the price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $13.00 and (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ stock market for the ten days preceding the day to the conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Price”). The total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon automatic conversion shall equal (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, divided by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

The Warrants are exercisable for fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Notes (the “Warrant Shares”). The per share purchase price (the “Exercise Price”) for each of the Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $15.00 and (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ stock market for the ten days preceding the day of the conversion of the Notes.  Each Warrant expires eighteen (18) months from the date of the conversion of the Notes (the “Expiration Date”).  The Investors may exercise the Warrants at any time prior to the Expiration Date. 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted Investors piggy back registration rights if the Company files a registration statement registering the shares of Common Stock within two (2) years of the date hereof.

 

For the sale of the Shares, the Company relied on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or the private offering safe harbor provision of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder based on the following factors: (i) the number of offerees or purchasers, as applicable, (ii) the absence of general solicitation, (iii) representations obtained from the purchasers relative to their accreditation and/or sophistication and/or their relationship to the company (directors and officers), (iv) the provision of appropriate disclosure, and (v) the placement of restrictive legends on the certificates reflecting the securities coupled with investment representations obtained from the purchasers.

 

A copy of the form of Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and a copy of each of the form of Note and Warrant is attached as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Company’s press release regarding the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On November 7, 2018, Mr. Frank Zitella, the chief financial officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer of Loop Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), tendered his resignation, which shall be effective December 6, 2018. Following Mr. Zitella’s resignation, Mr. Zitella’s duties will be assumed by other members of management until his replacement is named. Mr. Zitella’s resignation was a personal decision to pursue other business opportunities and not due to any disagreement with the Company’s management team, operations, financials, policies or procedures.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release regarding the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Further, the Company is in advanced stages of negotiating an agreement with a candidate for chief financial officer who the Company anticipates will start with the Company in early January 2019.

1. Holder Exercise of Warrant .This Warrant shall only be exercisable in whole.To exercise this Warrant in whole, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office, (a) a written notice, in substantially the form of the exercise notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (b) a check in the amount of the aggregate exercise price for the Warrant Shares being purchased, and (c) this Warrant.The Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event within twenty (20) days after delivery to the Company of (i) the Exercise Notice, (ii) the check mentioned above, and (iii) this Warrant, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in such notice, provided this Warrant has vested on or prior to the date such notice is delivered.Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear the legend or legends required by applicable securities laws as well as such other legend(s) the Company requires to be included on certificates for its Common Stock.The Company shall pay all expenses and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of such stock certificates except that, in case such stock certificates shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes that are payable upon the issuance of such stock certificate or certificates shall be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the Exercise Notice.All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

B =
