Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 27, 2023, Koligo Therapeutics Inc. (“Borrower”), a subsidiary of Orgenesis Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Convertible Loan Agreement”) with Yehuda Nir (the “Lender,” and together with the Borrower, the “Parties”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to loan the Borrower up to $5,000,000 (the “Loan Amount”). Interest is calculated at 8% per annum (based on a 365-day year) and is payable, along with the principal, on or before January 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date may be extended by the Lender in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and any such extension(s) shall be in writing signed by the Parties. The Loan Amount may be prepaid by the Borrower in whole or in part at any time with the prior written approval of the Lender.

 

If prior to December 31, 2023, the Borrower issues equity securities (“Equity Securities”) in a transaction or series of related transactions resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Borrower of at least $5,000,000 (excluding conversion of the Loan Amount) (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of the Loan Amount, and any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Outstanding Amount”), will automatically convert into such Equity Securities issued pursuant to the Qualified Financing at a price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the price per share paid for each share of the Equity Securities purchased for cash by the investors in the Qualified Financing (the “Mandatory Conversion”). The per share price for the Mandatory Conversion shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis (including equity underlying all outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible securities, but excluding the Equity Securities issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion).

 

The Parties agreed that the Lender shall have the option to assign $1,500,000 of the Loan Amount due to the Lender under that certain convertible loan agreement between the Lender and the Company dated April 21, 2022, as amended, as previously disclosed on the Company’s Form 8-K filed on April 21, 2022 (collectively the “Original Loan”), to the Borrower (the “Loan Assignment”). The terms of the Loan Assignment will be the same as under the Original Loan, including a maturity date of January 31, 2026 and an annual interest rate of 10%. The Loan Assignment will be subject to the Mandatory Conversion as described above.

 

Under the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement, the Borrower agreed to use the Loan Amount to fund working capital and ongoing operations and for no other purposes unless the Lender agrees in writing.

 

The Convertible Loan Agreement contains certain specified events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle the Lender to immediately demand repayment of all loan obligations. Such events of default include, among others, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Borrower, breaches of any covenants or representations and warranties by the Borrower in any material respect, and failure to make payments under the Convertible Loan Agreement when due.

 

The Convertible Loan Agreement and the Equity Securities issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Loan Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing summary of the Convertible Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of such documents attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Funding. Lender has committed to provide financing in form of a convertible loan under the terms of this Agreement up to Five Million US Dollars (the “Loan Amount”) in accordance with the terms hereof.

Unless otherwise converted into equity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Amount outstanding, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall become due and payable on January 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”) without any action required from the Lender. The Maturity Date may be extended by the Lender in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and any such extension(s) shall be in writing signed by both Parties. The Loan Amount may be prepaid by the Borrower in whole or in part at any time with the prior written approval of the Lender (such approval to be in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion).

 

(b) The Closing. At the closing, the Lender and the Borrower shall each deliver a fully executed version of this Agreement to the other Party (the “Closing”). Within 3 days after the Closing the Lender shall transfer the Loan Amount, or any portion thereto pursuant to a Drawdown request, by wire to the bank account of the Borrower in accordance with wiring instructions provided by the Borrower to the Lender prior to the Closing and detailed below in Section 11(g).

 

3. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the Loan Amount to fund the working capital and ongoing operations (“Purpose”) and for no other purposes unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Lender.

 

4. Accounts. Borrower shall keep good and proper accounts of expenditures of the Loan Amount, and shall at the request of Lender at any time and in any case not less frequently than on the last day of each month while any part of the Loan Amount remains outstanding, provide to Lender copies of such accounts.

 

5. Events of Default.

 

(a) The following shall constitute events of default (each an “Event of Default”):

 

 

 

 

i. filing of a petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws by or against the Borrower, which filing or proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing or commencement thereof, or if the Borrower shall cease or suspend the conduct of its usual business or if the Borrower shall become, or in light of its usual business conditions is likely to become, insolvent and is unable to pay its debts or liabilities as they fall due;

 

ii. breaches any material covenant by the Borrower (other than a payment covenant) which is not cured within 30 days of receipt of written notice of such breach;

 

iii. an order, judgment or decree shall be entered, without the application, approval or consent of the Borrower by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking reorganization of the Borrower or appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Borrower or of all or a substantial part of its assets, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for any period of ninety (90) consecutive days;

 

iv. Borrower fails to repay principal when due or interest and such failure continues for ten business days of the Borrower’s receipt of written notice from the Lender;

 

v. Borrower breaches any representation or warranty under this Agreement in any material respect;

 

(b) If, at any time, an Event of Default shall occur, all obligations under this Agreement shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand or protest, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

 

6. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender (and to the extent identified below, the Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower) as follows:

 

(a) The Borrower is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the US. The Borrower has full power and authority to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder, and the consummation of such transactions and the performance of this Agreement by the Borrower does not violate the provisions of any applicable law, and will not result in any material breach of, or constitute a material default under any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or under which the Borrower is bound.

 

(b) The execution and performance of this Agreement by the Borrower has been duly authorized by all necessary actions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Lender and this Agreement is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Borrower and the Lender, and is fully enforceable against the Borrower and the Lender according to its terms.

 

(c) All of the shares of the Borrower after its establishment to be issued to the Lender upon the conversion of the amounts outstanding of the Loan Amount shall be, when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, charges and encumbrances.

 

(d) There is no existing lien, encumbrance, security interest, indebtedness, mortgage or third-party rights of any kind that are, or could be, ranked senior in nature to the amounts outstanding of the Loan Amount.

 

 

 

 

7. Mandatory Conversion of Loan Amount.

 

(a) If prior to December 31, 2023, the Borrower issues equity securities (“Equity Securities”) in a transaction or series of related transactions resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Borrower of at least $5,000,000 (excluding conversion of the Loan Amount) (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of the Loan Amount, and any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Outstanding Amount”), will automatically convert into the securities issued pursuant to the Qualified Financing at a price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the price per share paid for each share of the Equity Securities purchased for cash by the investors in the Qualified Financing. The per share price for the conversion shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis (including equity underlying all outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible securities, but excluding equity securities issuable upon the conversion of this instrument). The equity issued upon said conversion shall have all preferential and associated rights with the highest class of issued equity, or equity planned to be issued on or around such time.

 

(b) Upon the conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) above, the rights of repayment of the Outstanding Amount shall be extinguished, and the Lender shall surrender this Agreement.

The terms of the Loan Assignment will be as per the Original Loan as amended, i.e. maturity date of January 31, 2026, annual interest rate 10%. The Loan Assignment will be subject to the Mandatory Conversion referred to in this Agreement.
