Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Gross Revenue Royalty Transaction
On May 2, 2023, Atlas Lithium Corporation (the “Company”) and Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary of the Company (the “Company Subsidiary”), entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lithium Royalty Corp., a Canadian company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “LRC”). The transaction contemplated under the Purchase Agreement closed simultaneously on May 2, 2023, whereby the Company Subsidiary sold to LRC in consideration for $20,000,000 in cash, a royalty interest equaling 3% of the gross revenue (the “Royalty”) received by the Company Subsidiary from the sale of products from certain 19 mineral rights and properties that are located in Brazil and held by the Company Subsidiary (the “Property”).
On the same day, the Company Subsidiary and LRC entered into a Gross Revenue Royalty Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company Subsidiary grants LRC the Royalty and undertakes to calculate and make royalty payment on a quarterly basis commencing from the first receipt of the sales proceeds with respect to the products from the Property. The Royalty Agreement contains other customary terms, including but not limited to, the scope of the gross revenue, the Company Subsidiary’s right to determine operations, and LRC’s information and audit rights. Under the Royalty Agreement, the Company Subsidiary also grants LRC an option to purchase additional royalty interest with respect to certain additional Brazilian mineral rights and properties on the same terms and conditions as the Royalty, at a total purchase price of $5,000,000.
The foregoing description is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Royalty Agreement, both attached to this Form 8-K as exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.
