Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 7, 2022, Western Magnesium Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the transaction set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) it entered into with an investor (the “Purchaser”) for the sale of the Company’s convertible debenture in the principal amount of $3,748,561.00 (the “November 2022 Convertible Debenture”) for a subscription amount of $3,748,561.00. The transaction provided for in the Securities Purchase Agreement closed on November 11, 2022.
The November 2022 Convertible Debenture bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum, matures on April 7, 2024 and is convertible (principal, and interest) at any time after the issuance date and, upon receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.09 per share and (ii) the minimum conversion price permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange at the time of conversion (should the Company’s Common Stock then be listed on such exchange), subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Conversion Price”). In addition, upon each conversion of the November 2022 Convertible Debenture, the holder is entitled to receive a Warrant (the “November 2022 Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the conversion shares being issued on such conversion.
November 2022 Warrants
Upon each conversion of the November 2022 Convertible Debenture, the Company will issue to the holder of the November 2022 Convertible Debenture, a Warrant to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 100% of the conversion shares being issued on such conversion at a per share exercise price of $0.17, subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2022 Warrant and discussed below
The holders may exercise the November 2022 Warrants on a cashless basis at any time that there is not an effective registration statement covering the underlying shares of Common Stock and the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock is greater than the exercise price at the time of exercise. The November 2022 Warrants are not exercisable, however, if the number of shares to be issued to the holder upon such exercise, together with all other shares then owned by the holder and the Company’s affiliates, would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The holder may increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice to us.
Registration Rights Agreement
Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement the Company entered into in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by December 7, 2022, covering the public resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the November 2022 Convertible Debenture issued to the investor upon its conversion, the November 2022 Warrants issuable upon conversion of the November 2022 Convertible Debenture and any capital stock of the Company issued or issuable with respect to its Common Stock, the November 2022 Convertible Debentures or the November 2022 Warrants as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise (the “Underlying Shares”), all to the extent permissible under SEC rules, and to use the Company’s best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective no later than January 23, 2023 if the SEC does not review the registration statement or by March 7, 2023 if the SEC reviews the registration statement.
