SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 30, 2018, Body and Mind Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Australis Capital Inc. (“Australis”), an Alberta corporation that has its common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), whereby Australis has agreed to acquire:

 

 

(a) 16,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”) of the Company, with each Unit being comprised of one share of common stock (a “Common Share”) of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) of the Company at a purchase price of CAD$0.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of CAD$6,400,000; and

 

 

 

 

(b) CAD$1,600,000 principal amount 8% unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company having a maturity date of two years from the date of issue,

 

(collectively, the “Financing”).

 

Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of CAD$0.50 per Warrant Share for a period of two years from the date of issue, subject to adjustment and acceleration in certain circumstances. If the closing price of the Common Shares on the CSE (or such other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed) is equal to or greater than CAD$1.20 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants on 30 days’ notice to Australis. The form of warrant certificate is attached to the Investment Agreement as Appendix I.

 

The Debentures will bear interest from the date of issuance (the “Issue Date”) at a rate of 8% per annum, calculated and payable semi-annually, in arrears. Repayment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is to be made on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date that is two years from the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”). The Debentures are convertible at the option of Australis into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to CAD$0.55 per Common Share up to the Maturity Date, subject to adjustment and acceleration in certain circumstances. If, at any time after the Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, the closing price of the Common Shares on the CSE (or such other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed) is equal to or greater than CAD$1.65 for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may force the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) at the then applicable conversion price on not less than 10 business days’ notice to Australis. The form of debenture certificate is attached to the Investment Agreement as Appendix II.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company and Australis have agreed to negotiate in good faith a license agreement pursuant to which the Company will grant Australis an exclusive and assignable license to use the “BaM Body and Mind” brand outside of the United States of America on commercially reasonable terms.

In addition, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company will enter into a commercial advisory agreement (the “Commercial Advisory Agreement”) with Australis Capital (Nevada) Inc. (“Australis Nevada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Australis, pursuant to which Australis Nevada will provide advisory and consulting services to the Company pursuant to which the Company will pay Australis Nevdada a fee of US$10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month for a term ending on the date that is the earlier of (i) five years following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, and (ii) the date Australis no longer holds 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The form of Commercial Advisory Agreement is attached to the Investment Agreement as Appendix III.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement and subject to certain exceptions, Australis will be entitled to maintain its’ pro rata ownership interest in the Company until such time as it no longer holds 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

 

Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement and subject to applicable laws and the rules of the CSE, for as long as Australis owns at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Australis will be entitled to nominate one (1) director for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). If Australis exercises all of the Warrants and converts all of the Debentures purchased in the Financing, Australis will be entitled to nominate a second (2nd) director for election to the Board. For as long as Australis maintains ownership of at least 25% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Australis will be entitled to maintain two (2) directors on the Board provided that each director nominee must meet the requirements of applicable corporate, securities and other laws and rules of the CSE.

 

With respect to the proceeds from the Financing, the Investment Agreement provides that the proceeds will only by used by the Company as follows, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Australis:

 

 

(a) a maximum of $400,000, only $300,000 of which may be payable in cash, will be used to pay an Investment Advisory Fee to Canaccord Genuity Corp.;

 

 

 

 

(b) US$1,175,000 will be used by the Company as partial payment of the Promissory Notes (as defined in the Investment Agreement) (the “Loan Repayment”), of which US$1,000,000 will remain owing to the Vendors (as defined in the Investment Agreement) after the Loan Repayment;

 

 

 

 

(c) US$1,925,000 will be used by the Company for strategic acquisitions and/or investment opportunities within the State of Ohio;

 

 

 

 

(d) US$1,650,000 (the “Build Out Funds”) will be allocated to the development, build out and equipment purchases for the NMG Ohio Dispensary and/or Ohio Production Facility, unless the parties agree to allocate the Build Out Funds to the development of the Nevada Production Facility;

 

 

 

 

(e) $600,000 will be allocated towards the working capital of Third Party Trim Purchases (as defined in the Investment Agreement); and

 

 

 

 

(f) the balance of the proceeds will be allocated towards the working capital of the Company.
