Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 5, 2022, Bright Green Corporation (the "Company") and LDS Capital LLC ("LDS"), whose managing member is Lynn Stockwell, Chair of the Company's board of directors, entered into an unsecured line of credit in the form of a note, which provided that the Company could borrow up to $5 million from LDS, which amount was increased to $15 million on November 14, 2022 (as amended, the "Note"). On January 31, 2023, LDS assigned the Note to Ms. Stockwell (the "Lender").
On September 1, 2023, the Company and the Lender entered into an agreement pursuant to which, in consideration for the cancellation and full satisfaction of all amounts of principal, interest and other costs under the Note as of August 31, 2023, the Company issued to the Lender (i) 2,827,960 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), representing a conversion of outstanding principal at $1.15 per Share, and (ii) warrants representing a conversion of outstanding principal at $0.13 per warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 2,827,960 shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.00 per share.
On August 19,2024, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment and restatement to the Note (the "Secured Note"), pursuant to which, among other things, upon the Lender making a new advance in the principal amount of at least $3,500,000 under the terms of the Secured Note (the "Required Funding"),all obligations due under the Secured Note shall be secured by (i) a first lien mortgage on the Company's fee interest in the real property and improvements thereon, including, without limitation, the land, buildings, fixtures, equipment and machinery located at 1033 George Hanosh Blvd, Grants, NM 87020 (the "Property") and a first priority assignment of leases and rents, (ii) a first priority security interest in all accounts receivable of Company, (iii) an assignment of all contracts, licenses, permits, plans, specifications and other documentation with respect to the Property, and (iv) such other collateral as is customary for a loan of this type, including additional real property if the acquisition of such property occurs while this Secured Note is outstanding. As of the date hereof, the Lender has not provided the Required Funding and the Company cannot currently anticipate when the Required Funding will be made.
The Secured Note also provides for a conversion feature pursuant to which Lender may, at her discretion, convert the outstanding principal and interest balance of the Secured Note into (i) shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $1.15 per share (the "Shares") and (ii) warrants at a price of $0.13 per warrant, which warrants shall be exercisable into shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the "Warrant Shares"). Each of the price per Share and exercise price per Warrant Share represents a premium to the trading price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Additionally, in connection with the entry into the Secured Note, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the Warrant (the "Warrant Amendment"), pursuant to which the Termination Date (as defined therein) shall mean the earlier of (i) the date that is 45 days after the date on which the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Trading Market (as defined therein) equals or exceeds $3.00 per share, and (ii) August 31, 2027. The Warrant Amendment shall only become effective upon receipt by the Company of the Required Funding.
The foregoing descriptions of the Warrant Amendment and the Secured Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Warrant Amendment and the Secured Note, which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
