6. DEBENTURES

 

On June 30, 2022, the Company executed the definitive agreement with arm’s length accredited institutional investors (the “Investors”) for a $14,025,000 principal debentures with a 10% original issue discount (“First Tranche Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $12,750,000. The First Tranche Debentures are convertible into common shares at $2.22 per share. In addition, the Investors received 4,106,418 warrants at a strike price of $2.442, which expire on December 31, 2025 (the “First Tranche Warrants”). The First Tranche Warrants and First Tranche Debentures each have down round provisions whereby the conversion and strike prices will be adjusted downward if the Company issues equity instruments at lower prices. The First Tranche Warrants strike price and the First Tranche Debenture conversion price will be adjusted down to the effective conversion price of the issued equity instruments. The transaction costs incurred in relation to first tranche were $1,634,894.

 

The Investors have the right to purchase additional tranches of $5,000,000 each, up to a total additional principal amount of $33,000,000.

 

On January 17, 2023, the Investors purchased an additional tranche of $5,076,923 with a 10% original issue discount for gross proceeds of $4,615,385 (the “Second Tranche Debenture”). The Second Tranche Debentures are convertible into common shares at $1.24 per share and the Investors received an additional 2,661,289 warrants at a strike price of $1.24, which expire on December 31, 2025 (the “Second Tranche Warrants”). The issuance of the additional tranche triggered the down round provision, adjusting the exercise prices of the First Tranche Debentures and the First Tranche Warrants to $1.24. The transaction costs incurred in relation to second tranche were $325,962.

 

The First Tranche and Second Tranche Debentures (the “Debentures”) have an interest rate of 5% for the first 12 months, 6% for the subsequent 12 months, and 8% per annum thereafter. Principal repayments will be made in 25 equal installments which began on September 1, 2022 for the First Tranche Debentures and on July 1, 2023 for the Second Tranche Debentures. The Debentures may be extended by six months at the election of the Company by paying a sum equal to six months interest on the principal amount outstanding at the end of the 18th month, at the rate of 8% per annum.

 

Due to the currency of the above noted features being different from the Company’s functional currency, the First Tranche Warrants and Second Tranche Warrants (the “Debenture Warrants), as well as the Debentures’ convertible features were classified as derivative liabilities and are further discussed in Note 8.
