Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
On May 16, 2024, we and certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell to such Purchasers an aggregate of 420,596,154 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock (the “Common Stock”), in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”), and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 420,596,154 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement” and together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offering”), for gross proceeds of $21,871,000.06, before deducting the financial advisor’s fees and other estimated offering expenses. The purchase price for each Share and the accompanying Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock is $0.052.
The sale and offering of the Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was effected as a takedown off our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271324), which became effective on April 28, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”), pursuant to a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (“Warrant Shares”) were not offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), contained in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The Warrants will be exercisable on or after the date of stockholder approval and have an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The Warrants will expire five years from the date we obtains stockholder approval for the issuance of the Warrants and the Warrants Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Each Warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions to reflect stock dividends and splits or other similar transactions, and following the approval of the Company’s stockholders, (i) exercise price provisions triggered by any intervening reverse stock splits and (ii) anti-dilution provisions relating to future issuances or deemed issuances of our Common Stock at a price per share below the then-current exercise price of the Warrants. The Warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares. We have agreed to file a registration statement under the Act with the SEC, covering the resale of the Warrant Shares within 10 calendar days following the date of the Purchase Agreement and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 120 days following the Closing of the Offering.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering to expand our metal recycling operations, bring our copper extraction system online, to pay off of our non-convertible promissory notes and for general corporate purposes. The Offering is expected to close on or about May 20, 2024.
Dawson James Securities, Inc. (the “Financial Advisor”), is acting as the financial advisor for the Offering. We agreed to pay the Financial Advisor a cash fee equal to $777,777.77, and to reimburse the Financial Advisor for certain expenses, including legal fees and expenses of $50,000 in the aggregate. In addition, we agreed to issue to the Financial Advisor or its designees warrants (the “Financial Advisor Warrants”) to purchase up to 7,777,777 shares of Common Stock (the “Financial Advisor Warrant Shares”). The Financial Advisor Warrants have generally the same terms and conditions as the Warrants issued to the Purchasers, except that the Financial Advisor Warrants will have a term of five years from the commencement of sales and an exercise price equal to $0.125 per share.
A copy of the form of the Purchase Agreement, the form of the Warrant and the form of the Financial Advisor Warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summaries of the terms of the form of the Purchase Agreement, the form of the Warrant and the form of the Financial Advisor Warrant are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents. The legal opinion of Pryor Cashman LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Registered Direct Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
