Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 

 

On September 7, 2020, Bullfrog Gold Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) among the Company, Homestake Mining Company of California Inc., a California corporation (“Homestake”), Lac Minerals (USA) LLC (“Lac Minerals” and together with Homestake, the “Barrick Parties”), and Augusta Investments Inc. and/or its affiliates and certain other individuals identified by Augusta Investments Inc. (together, the “Augusta Group”).

 

The Term Sheet sets forth the principal understanding of the parties with respect to an integrated transaction involving (i) the purchase by the Company from the Barrick Parties of all of the equity interests (the “Equity Interests”) in Bullfrog Mining LLC, the successor by conversion of Barrick Bullfrog Inc. (the “Target”) (the “Acquisition Transaction”), and (ii) the concurrent financing pursuant to which the Augusta Group will acquire shares of common stock and warrants of the Company for cash consideration (the “Financing Transaction,” and together with the Acquisition Transaction, the “Transaction”).

 

Under the Acquisition Transaction, as contemplated under the Term Sheet, in consideration for the purchase of the Equity Interest in the Target, the Company will issue or provide to the Barrick Parties (or any affiliate thereof identified by the Barrick Parties prior to closing) (i) 54,600,000 units of the Company, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one four-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of C$0.30, resulting in the Barrick Parties holding shares of common stock representing 15.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock in the Company upon closing of the Transaction or 19.9% of the capital stock on a fully diluted basis (including the units issued to the Augusta Group pursuant to the Financing Transaction), (ii) a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on all minerals produced from the Mining Claims (as defined in the Term Sheet), subject to a maximum aggregate NSR royalty of 5.5% on any individual mining claim and a minimum 0.5% NSR royalty on any individual mining claim, and (iii) certain investor rights, including anti-dilution rights, pursuant to an investor rights agreement to be entered into among the parties.

 

Under the Financing Transaction, as contemplated under the Term Sheet, the Company will issue and sell to the Augusta Group 110,000,000 units, at a purchase price of C$0.20 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of C$22,000,000. Each unit will consist of (i) one share of common stock (the “Financing Shares”), and (ii) one warrant, which warrants will in all respects have identical terms to those issued to the Barrick Parties pursuant to the Acquisition Transaction. In addition, the Company will grant Augusta Investments Inc., certain investor rights with regard to the Financing Shares, including antidilution rights on the same terms as the antidilution rights granted to the Barrick Parties.

 

Upon closing of the Transaction, the Board of Directors and management of the Company will be reconstituted as follows: (i) All directors of the Company will resign (other than David Beling), and each of Dan Earle, Maryse Belanger and Don Taylor will be appointed, together with the nominee of the Barrick Parties, if such nominee is identified by the Barrick Parties in advance of closing; (ii) all senior management of the Company will resign, and Maryse Belanger will be appointed as President. In addition, the Augusta Group will appoint officers of the Company to such roles as they may determine.

 

The Term Sheet is subject to execution of definitive agreements within 30 days, and closing of the Transaction will be subject to customary closing conditions.

 

In connection with the foregoing, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.

 

The foregoing summary of the Term Sheet is qualified by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet which is filed as an exhibit to this report.

 

On September 7, 2020, Rocky Mountain Minerals Corp., (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) (“RMM”) entered into a letter agreement amendment (the “Option Agreement Amendment”) with Barrick Bullfrog Inc. (“Barrick Bullfrog”) to the mineral lease and option to purchase agreement (as amended, the “Option Agreement”) between RMM and Barrick Bullfrog, dated March 23, 2015, as initially amended by a letter agreement dated May 21, 2019. Pursuant to the Option Agreement Amendment, the term of the Option Agreement was extended up to October 23, 2020 unless sooner terminated as provided therein.
