Item 1.01. Entry into A Material Definitive Agreement.
Placement Agent and Advisory Services Agreement
On September 18, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Placement Agent and Advisory Services Agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with Boustead Securities, LLC (“BSL”), an investment banking firm that advises clients on mergers and acquisitions, capital raises, and restructuring assignments in a wide array of industries and circumstances.
The Company has engaged BSL to act as the Company’s placement agent, on an exclusive basis during the Initial Term (as defined below), relating to (a) any securities offerings in a transaction or transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (b) any alienation of Company shares, goodwill, or substantially of the assets of the Company, whether by sale, transfer, merger, or disposal, (c) the entering into, transfer or surrender of any lease, license, option, joint venture, partnership, or franchise; (d) any other financial arrangement relating to the Company and having an effect similar to clause (b) or (c); (e) the filing of a petition for bankruptcy or receivership by, on behalf of, or against any Company signatory; or (f) the filing of a request to register any securities of a Company signatory with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or similar regulatory body outside the United States) (each, a “Financing”). BSL’s obligations under the Placement Agreement are on a best efforts basis and BSL will act solely as a broker with respect to identifying and negotiating with potential investors in a Financing. BSL will not act as an underwriter in any Financing.
The initial term of this Agreement shall be exclusive for six (6) months from the Company’s delivery of an offering memorandum to BSL (the “Initial Term”). After the Initial Term, the term of the Placement Agreement will automatically be extended for additional successive one (1) year periods unless either party provides written notice to the other party of its intent not to so extend the term at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then current term.
Under the terms of the Placement Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to BSL an advisory fee of two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) common stock shares with an issuance date of the Effective Date (the “Advisory Fee Shares”).
Additionally, the Company will pay BSL a Success Fee, as described herein, when the Company closes on a Financing (including a merger or acquisition) during the term of the Agreement or during a two (2) year period thereafter. If the Company consummates an Financing (to include stock/equity purchased directly from a shareholder(s) of the Company), BSL shall receive a Success Fee of eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds received in the Financing (including, without limitation, upon the exercise of any warrants issued in an Financing) and warrants to purchase eight percent (8%) of the number of shares issued in the Financing plus, and in the event that warrants or other rights are issued in the Financing, eight percent (8%) of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants or other rights, and in the event of the debt financing, warrants to purchase an amount of Company common stock equal to the eight percent (8%) of the gross amount of debt financing or facility received by the Company divided by the Strike Price per Share. The warrant exercise price, i.e. the “Strike Price per Share”, shall be defined as the lower of: 1) the price per share paid by investors in each respective Financing, 2) in the event that securities convertible are sold in the Financing, the conversion price of such securities, or 3) in the event that warrants or other rights are issued in the Financing, the exercise price of such warrants or other rights.
Certain transactions either currently being negotiated by the Company or any financings from already established relationships of the Company are excluded from the Placement Agreement.
The Placement Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The foregoing description of the Placement Agreement is a summary, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
