Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 28, 2023, TerrAscend Corp. (the “Company”) closed a second tranche of concurrent private placement offerings (the “Second Private Placements”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of those certain Subscription Agreements for Units (the “Equity Subscription Agreements”) and that certain Subscription Agreement for Convertible Debentures (the “Debenture Subscription Agreement”), each dated as of June 28, 2023, by and between the Company and certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) for total gross proceeds of approximately US$3.4 million. The Company sold to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 2,292,434 units (the “Units”) of the Company (the “Equity Offering”) at a price of US$1.50 (CAD $2.00) per Unit (the “Issue Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$3.4million (CAD $4.5 million), and (ii) 100 senior unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company (the “Debenture Offering”) at a price of US$1,000 per Debenture, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$100,000. The Second Private Placements and the previously announced concurrent private placements totaled aggregate proceeds of US$20.5 million.
Each Unit sold pursuant to the Equity Offering is comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share of the Company, at an exercise price of US$1.95 per Common Share (subject to customary adjustments) for a period of two years following closing of the Equity Offering. The Warrants are governed by the terms of a warrant indenture dated June 28, 2023 between Odyssey Trust Company, acting as warrant agent, and the Company (the “Warrant Indenture”).
The Debentures have a term of 36 months from date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 9.9% per annum, payable upon conversion as described below and at maturity; provided that each holder may, at the option of the holder upon signing of the subscription agreement, elect to receive up to 4.95% per annum of such interest payable in cash on a semi-annual basis.
The Debentures are convertible, in whole or in part, into Common Shares, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at a conversion price equal to US$2.01 per Common Share (subject to customary adjustments).
Holders converting their Debentures will receive accrued and unpaid interest for the period from and including the date of the last interest payment date, to and including, the date of conversion.
The Company paid a cash fee of 1% of the gross proceeds of the Second Private Placements, exclusive of any reimbursements, to ATB Capital Markets Inc. (“ATB”) in connection with ATB’s role as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Second Private Placements.
The Warrant Indenture, the forms of Equity Subscription Agreement, the form of Debenture Subscription Agreement, and the form of Debenture certificate are filed as Exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the foregoing summaries of the terms of such documents are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
