We currently expect that such effective date will be on or about _______, 2018.

 

Series G Preferred Stock

 

Effective May 25, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), Attis Industries Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Attis Innovations, LLC (“Innovations”), GreenShift Corporation (“GreenShift”), and GreenShift’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GS CleanTech Corporation (“CleanTech”), among others, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) and related transaction documents pursuant to which the Company acquired 80% of the membership interest units (“80% Units”) of FLUX Carbon LLC (“JVCo”), and $10,000,000 of GreenShift’s subordinate secured debt, in exchange for an earn-out based purchase price equal to the greater of (i) $18,000,000 (“Floor Price”); (ii) five (5) times JVCo’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2018, 2019, and 2020; (iii) four (4) times JVCo’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2021, 2022, and 2023; (iv) three (3) times JVCo’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2024 and 2025; (iv) two (2) times JVCo’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2026; or (iv), one (1) times JVCo’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2027.

 

An initial payment against the SPA purchase price was paid at Closing in the form of 2,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and 180,000 shares of the Company’s Series G Stock , 50,000 of which were issued by the Company directly to EXO Opportunity Fund LLC ("EXO") in connection with EXO's release and assignment of 100% of any right, title and interest it had in, to and under equity and debt securities issued and owned by JVCo prior to the Closing Date. GreenShift is required to use the first proceeds received upon sale of its shares to pay or refinance its senior secured debt.

 

The representations and warranties contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made by the parties to, and solely for the benefit of, the other in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements, and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and their agreements.

 

Effective November 29, 2017, the Company, Innovations, and four individual sellers (the “ALB Sellers”) entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company and Innovations agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity of Advanced Lignin Biocomposites, LLC (“ALB”) in exchange for $3,200,000 in Company stock. On May 25, 2018, the Company, Innovations, and the assignee of one of the ALB Sellers, Gaula Ventures, LLC (“GV”), a Georgia limited liability company, entered into and closed under a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“MIPA”) and related transaction documents (i) to amend, restate and supersede the November 2017 ALB agreement in respect of GV’s ownership interest in ALB, (ii) to include terms for the acquisition of GV’s ownership interest in Genarex FD LLC (“Genarex”), a Delaware limited liability company (“Genarex”), and (iii) to consolidate the purchase price consideration payable to GV in connection with both acquisitions on terms which limit the amount of Company stock issuable in exchange for GV’s interests in ALB and Genarex. The MIPA and applicable transaction documents replaced, supplanted, and in all respects superseded the parties prior November 2017 agreement in connection with ALB. Consequently, the consideration payable and other rights granted thereunder were forfeited and surrendered by GV to the Company upon Closing under the MIPA.

 

An initial payment against the MIPA purchase price was paid at Closing in the form of 1,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and 22,600 shares of the Company’s Series G Stock. The Company and Innovations assigned their respective beneficial ownership interests in, to and under the membership interests of ALB and Genarex to JVCo in connection with the Closing under the SPA and MIPA.

 

In connection with the SPA and MIPA, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with each of GreenShift and GV, pursuant to which the Company shall, on the 10th calendar day after the first date on which the Company is permitted to file the initial Registration Statement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Preferred F Registration Rights Agreement (the form of which was previously filed by the Company on its Current Report on Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2018), file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all shares of common stock comprising the units or the largest amount thereof permissible. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.

 

2  

 

 

If the Company does not deliver registered and freely-trading shares of common stock to GreenShift as and when due under the SPA, then the Company shall pay cash to GreenShift to redeem shares issuable upon conversion of the Series G Stock at the rate of $100,000 per month commencing August 31, 2018 (the “Series G Redemption Payment”), and continuing on the first of each month thereafter until such time as the Company delivers conforming registered and freely-tradable shares of Common Stock to as and when due hereunder in compliance with applicable provisions of the transaction documents.

 

The securities issued pursuant to the SPA and MIPA were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. All of the securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2). 

 

In connection with the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Company submitted for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of New York, on June 1, 2018, the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment to Certificate”), which established 500,000 shares of the Series G Stock, par value $0.001 per share, having such designations, rights and preferences as set forth in the Amendment to Certificate. The Company filed a copy of the Amendment to Certificate as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 1, 2018

 

The shares of Series G Stock have a stated value of $100.00 per share, are convertible into Common Stock at a price of the greater of $0.50 per share or 100% of the lowest closing market price per share for the thirty days prior to conversion, subject to certain adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations. Shares of the Series G Stock are non-voting, but, in the event a dividend is declared by the Board of Directors, entitle the holder of each share of Series G Stock to receive a cumulative dividend, in each case equal in amount and kind to that payable to the holder of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which that holder's Series G Stock could be converted on the record date for the dividend without giving effect to the 9.9% conversion limitation stated above. The shares of Series G Stock rank senior to the common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company thereafter created.

  

Based on the Series G Conversion Price (and provided the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock to allow for such conversion), provided that no adjustments were required to the Series G Conversion Price, up to a maximum of 36,000,000 shares of Common Stock would be issuable upon conversion of Series G Preferred Stock. Based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, but without accounting for the limitations on ownership set forth in the Series G Designations or any adjustments to Series G Conversion Price, such shares would represent approximately 63% of our total outstanding shares (giving effect to such issuance). The issuance of such shares may result in significant dilution to our shareholders, and afford them a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of the Company; adjustments to the Series G Conversion Price could result in further dilution. The sale or any resale of the Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series G Preferred Stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline as well as result in substantial dilution to other shareholders since the Series G shareholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. This means that our current shareholders will own a smaller interest in our company and will have less ability to influence significant corporate decisions requiring shareholder approval.

 

The Shareholder Approval is required for the Company to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d), which requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving (1) the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price less than the greater of book or market value which together with sales by officers, directors or Substantial Shareholders (as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules) of the Company equals 20% or more of common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance; or (2) the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock. Accordingly, until the Shareholder Approval is effective, the Company may not issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock in excess of 1,555,480.

Effect of Proposal on Current Shareholders.

 

The issuance of such shares may result in significant dilution to our shareholders, and afford them a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of the Company. The sale or any resale of the Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series G Preferred Stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline as well as result in substantial dilution to other shareholders since the Stockholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. This means that our current shareholders will own a smaller interest in our company and will have less ability to influence significant corporate decisions requiring shareholder approval.

 

Further Information.

 

The terms of the Certificate of Designation for the Series G Preferred Stock, the Securities Purchase Agreement and Form of Registration Rights Agreement are complex and only briefly summarized above. For further information, please refer to the descriptions contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 1, 2018, and the transaction documents filed as exhibits to such report. The discussion herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such filed transaction documents.

 

Dissenters’ Rights

 

Under the New York Business Corporation Law, stockholders will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the Shareholder Approval, and we do not intend to independently provide stockholders with such rights.

 

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

 

This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the actions approved by the Board and the Majority Stockholder.

 

The Shareholder Approval will become effective on the date that is twenty (20) calendar days after the mailing of this information statement to stockholders.

 

We currently expect that such effective date will be on or about _______, 2018.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth, as of August 8, 2018, certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our Common Stock (a) by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series A preferred stock, Series D preferred stock and Series E preferred stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock (b) by each director of the Company, (c) by the named executive officers (determined in accordance with Item 402 of Regulation S-K) and (d) by all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

 

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 21,158,409 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 8, 2018. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to options held by that person or entity that are currently exercisable or that will become exercisable within 60 days of August 8, 2018. In addition, as of August 8, 2018, 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 106,950 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, 161,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, 2,500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 202,600 shares of Series G Preferred Stock were outstanding. We did not deem such options or shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, however, for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Attis Industries Inc., 12540 Broadwell Road, Suite 210, Milton, GA 30004.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

 

If hard copies of the materials are requested, we will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to Attis Industries Inc., 12540 Broadwell Road, Suite 2104, Milton, GA 30004.

 

If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the Company at, its principal executive offices. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.

There may be other risks that we have not described that may adversely affect our business and financial condition. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Information Statement. We caution you not to rely upon any forward-looking statement as representing our views as of any date after the date of this Information Statement. You should carefully review the information and risk factors set forth in other reports and documents that we file from time to time with the SEC.
