THIS REPORT OF FORM 6-K IS HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
INTO THE REGISTRANTS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM F-3 (FILE NO. 333-226580),
AND TO BE A PART THEREOF FROM THE DATE ON WHICH THIS REPORT IS SUBMITTED, TO THE
EXTENT NOT SUPERSEDED BY DOCUMENTS OR REPORTS SUBSEQUENTLY FILED OR FURNISHED.
On August 15, 2019, Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (we or the
Company) entered into a new credit agreement (the "New Credit Facility") with
Platinum Group Metals (RSA) Proprietary Limited (PTM RSA), as guarantor,
Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP (Sprott), as agent, and
several lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Sprott Lenders"), to
establish a $20.0 million principal amount senior secured credit facility. The
maturity date of the New Credit Facility is August 21, 2021, subject to our
option to extend the maturity date by one year. If we elect to exercise our
option to extend the maturity date of the New Credit Facility by one year, we
will be required, at our option, to either: (i) issue the Sprott Lenders an
additional number of our common shares equal to 3% of the outstanding principal
amount under the New Credit Facility on the date that is two business days prior
to August 21, 2021 (the "Measurement Date"), divided by the volume weighted
average trading price of our common shares on the TSX for the five trading days
immediately preceding the Measurement Date; or (ii) make a cash payment to the
Sprott Lenders in the amount of 3% of the outstanding principal amount under the
New Credit Facility on the Measurement Date. Amounts outstanding under the New
Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate of 11.00% per annum, compounded
monthly. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the last business day of each
month. We may prepay the amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility, in
whole or in part, without penalty, provided that among other things, not less
than six months of interest has been paid on maximum principal amount under the
New Credit Facility. Any amounts prepaid under the New Credit Facility may not
be re-borrowed thereunder. The New Credit Facility also includes certain
mandatory prepayment requirements. If either we or PTM RSA (collectively, the
"Credit Parties") or any of our controlled subsidiaries dispose of any assets
outside the ordinary course of business for cash proceeds in excess of
$1,000,000 in the aggregate, then such Credit Party or such controlled
subsidiary will either reinvest the proceeds into the Waterberg Project or pay
the net proceeds from such sale to the Sprott Lenders in prepayment of the New
Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions. The New Credit Facility further
stipulates that, if the Credit Parties or any of their controlled subsidiaries
close one or more equity financings (other than (i) the sale to Deepkloof
Limited of 6,940,000 common shares at a price of $1.32 per common share (the
Deepkloof Private Placement), (ii) the sale to Liberty Metals & Mining
Holdings, LLC (LMM) of 7,575,758 common shares at a price of $1.32 per common
share (the LMM Private Placement), and our public offering of shares of
8,326,957 common shares at a price of $1.25 per common share, including any
exercise of the over-allotment option thereunder (the Public Offering), each
of which was completed on August 21, 2019), the Credit Parties will pay 50% of
the net proceeds to the Sprott Lenders in prepayment of the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility further stipulates that if any portion of our
outstanding warrants is exercised by the holders thereof, we will pay 75% of the
proceeds to the Sprott Lenders in prepayment of the New Credit Facility.
Under the New Credit Facility, the Sprott Lenders will have a
first priority lien on (i) the issued shares of PTM RSA and Waterberg JV
Resources Proprietary Limited that we or PTM RSA hold (and such other claims and
rights described in the applicable pledge agreement) and (ii) all of our present
and after-acquired personal property. The New Credit Facility is also guaranteed
by PTM RSA.
The New Credit Facility also contains various covenants,
including restrictions on the Credit Parties and their subsidiaries with respect
to additional borrowing, granting of security, modifications to material
contracts and transfers of assets, a requirement that the Credit Parties
maintain a working capital level of greater than $500,000, as well as
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in an aggregate amount to exceed
$1,000,000, and a requirement that we receive approval from the South African
Reserve Bank in respect of the transactions contemplated under the New Credit
Facility by November 30, 2019.
We closed the $20.0 million dollar advance under the New Credit
Facility (the Advance) concurrently with the closing of the Public Offering on
August 21, 2019 and used the proceeds of the Advance, the Public Offering, the
Deepkloof Private Placement and the LMM Private Placement to repay our prior
secured credit facility with LMM (the LMM Facility) in full. In connection
with the $20.0 million advance, we issued the Sprott Lenders 800,000 common
shares, which was equal to $1.0 million divided by the sale price of common
shares in the Public Offering. We are also liable for all of the Sprott Lenders'
legal fees and other reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred in
connection with the New Credit Facility.
Following closing of the Advance, the Public Offering, the
Deepkloof Private Placement and the LMM Private Placement, and the application
of the proceeds therefrom to repay the LMM Facility in full, based on our
planned definitive feasibility study and Waterberg Project expenditures, debt
service expenditures and historical average monthly burn rate for general and
administrative costs over the three month period ended May 31, 2019 of
approximately $295,000 (unaudited), we expect to have sufficient capital to maintain operations until March 31, 2020, after which time we will require additional capital to satisfy our obligations, including under our indebtedness. If additional
financing is raised by the issuance of our shares from treasury or other securities convertible into common shares, control of the Company may change, security holders will suffer dilution and the price of our common shares may decrease. Failure to
obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further development of our properties, or even a loss of property interests.
