Explanatory Note

This Current Report Form 8-K/A (this “Form 8-K/A”) amends and restates in its entirety the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Basanite, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2020 (the “Original 8-K”). This Form 8-K/A amends and restates the Original 8-K to correct the Maturity Date of the Promissory Note (as both terms are defined in the Original 8-K) from February 3, 2020 to February 3, 2021. Except for correcting the Maturity Date to its correct date of February 3, 2021, there were no other changes to the Original 8-K.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 3, 2020, Basanite, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a 20% Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with certain accredited investors (the “Holders”) for an aggregate of $1,000,000 in principal. The Promissory Note has a maturity date of February 3, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) and an interest rate of 20% per annum. Interest will accrue monthly for the first four months of the Promissory Note and be due in cash thereafter until the Maturity Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, The Richard A. LoRicco Sr. and Lucille M. LoRicco Irrevocable Insurance Trust DTD 4/28/95, Louis Demaio as Trustee will serve as the agent for the benefit of the Holders (the “Agent”).

At any time during which the Promissory Note remains outstanding, the Agent for the benefit of the Holders may convert the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note (and any accrued and unpaid interest) into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) at the conversion rate equal to the per share cash price paid for the Shares by any third party investor(s) with total proceeds to the Company of not less than $500,000.

Additionally, prior to the Promissory Note’s payment in full in cash or conversion in accordance with its terms, the Company may not incur any additional debt or equity investments without the Agent’s consent. The Promissory Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) entered into in connection with the Promissory Note.

The Agent is a trust maintained by Richard A. LoRicco Sr. and Lucille M. LoRicco, who are the parents of Ronald J. LoRicco (“Mr. LoRicco”), one of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Agent is the Holder of $750,000 of the principal amount of the Promissory Note. The disinterested members of the Board approved the terms of the Promissory Note. Mr. LoRicco does not have voting or investment control of or power over the Agent but is an anticipated, partial beneficiary of the Agent.

The foregoing description of the Promissory Note and Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Promissory Note and Security Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
