Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On July 10, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Purebase Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Line of Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Mine Corp., a Nevada corporation and affiliate of the Company (“USMC”), pursuant to which USMC will make a line of credit available to the Company, in the maximum principal amount of $1,000,000, for a period of one year (the “Line of Credit”). Subject to the terms of the Line of Credit Agreement, each loan advance will be made by USMC upon three business days’ prior written request by the Company. The Company will use the proceeds from the Line of Credit for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
On the Effective Date, the Company issued USMC an unsecured convertible grid promissory note (the “Grid Note”) to evidence the amounts loaned by USMC under the Line of Credit. The Grid Note has a stated maturity date of July 10, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal amount of the Grid Note will be adjusted from time to time to reflect the amounts of any loans made to the Company by USMC and/or any payments made to USMC by the Company prior to the Maturity Date. Interest is payable on the unpaid principal amount of the Grid Note at a rate of 8% per annum; provided, however, that any amount of principal not paid when due will bear interest at a default interest rate equal of 13% per annum. The Company may prepay the principal amount of the Grid Note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, at any time without penalty. On the Maturity Date, USMC may, in its sole discretion, choose to convert all or part of the outstanding principal amount of the Grid Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. The conversion price and number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion are subject to adjustment from time to time for any subdivision or consolidation of the Company’s shares and standard dilutive events. Upon the Company’s voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, the full principal amount of the Grid Note, together with any other amounts owing in respect thereof, will automatically become immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of any other event of default, as specified in the Grid Note, the full principal amount of the Grid Note, together with any other amounts owing in respect thereof, may become immediately due and payable at USMC’s election.
A. Scott Dockter, the principal executive officer and a director of the Company, and John Bremer, a director of the Company, are also officers, directors and principal shareholders of USMC.
The foregoing descriptions of the Line of Credit Agreement and Grid Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached to this report as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
