Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
June 5, 2022, Bright Green Corporation (the “Company”) and LDS Capital LLC (“LDS”), whose managing member is
Lynn Stockwell, Chair of the Company’s board of directors, entered into an unsecured line of credit in the form of a note, which
provided that the Company could borrow up to $5 million from LDS, which amount was increased to $15 million on November 14, 2022 (as
amended, the “Note”). On January 31, 2023, LDS assigned the Note to Ms. Stockwell (the “Lender”).
On
September 1, 2023, the Company and the Lender entered into an agreement pursuant to which, in consideration for the cancellation and
full satisfaction of all amounts of principal, interest and other costs under the Note as of August 31, 2023, the Company issued to the
Lender (i) 2,827,960 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), representing a conversion of outstanding principal at $1.15 per Share, and (ii) warrants representing a conversion of
outstanding principal at $0.13 per warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,827,960 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $3.00 per share.
On
August 19, 2024,
the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment and restatement to the Note (the “Secured Note”), pursuant to
which, among other things, upon the Lender making a new advance in the principal amount of at least $3,500,000 under the terms of the
Secured Note (the “Required Funding”), all
obligations due under the Secured Note shall be secured by (i) a first lien mortgage on the Company’s fee interest in the real
property and improvements thereon, including, without limitation, the land, buildings, fixtures, equipment and machinery located at 1033
George Hanosh Blvd, Grants, NM 87020 (the “Property”) and a first priority assignment of leases and rents, (ii) a first priority
security interest in all accounts receivable of Company, (iii) an assignment of all contracts, licenses, permits, plans, specifications
and other documentation with respect to the Property, and (iv) such other collateral as is customary for a loan of this type, including
additional real property if the acquisition of such property occurs while this Secured Note is outstanding. As
of the date hereof, the Lender has not provided the Required Funding and the Company cannot currently anticipate when the Required Funding
will be made.
The
Secured Note also provides for a conversion feature pursuant to which Lender may, at her discretion, convert the outstanding principal
and interest balance of the Secured Note into (i) shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $1.15 per share (the “Shares”)
and (ii) warrants at a price of $0.13 per warrant, which warrants shall be exercisable into shares of the Company’s Common Stock
at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “Warrant Shares”). Each of the price per Share and exercise price per Warrant
Share represents a premium to the trading price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Additionally,
in connection with the entry into the Secured Note, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the Warrant (the “Warrant
Amendment”), pursuant to which the Termination Date (as defined therein) shall mean the earlier of (i) the date that is 45 days
after the date on which the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Market (as defined therein) equals or exceeds
$3.00 per share, and (ii) August 31, 2027. The Warrant Amendment shall only become effective upon receipt
by the Company of the Required Funding.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Warrant Amendment and the Secured Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety
by the full text of the Warrant Amendment and the Secured Note, which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item
2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The
information contained above under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On
August 16, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department
of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)
(the “Bid Price Rule”) which requires a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share because the closing bid price per share
for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The Company was given until
February 12, 2024 to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On February 13, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the
Company had been granted an additional 180-day grace period, or until August 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
The
Company did not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by August 12, 2024. On August 13, 2024, the Company received from Nasdaq a
delisting determination letter (the “Delisting Determination Letter”). The Delisting Determination Letter states that unless
the Company requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearing Panel (“Panel”) to appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination by
August 20, 2024, trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market will be suspended at the opening of trading
on August 22, 2024, and the Company’s common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq. Nasdaq notified the Company that it will file
a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s common stock from listing and registration
on Nasdaq.
The
Company has submitted a hearing request to appeal the delisting determination to a Panel. The Company’s hearing request will stay the suspension
of the Company’s common stock and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that
the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
If
the Company’s hearing request for continued listing is not granted, the Company’s common stock will be traded on the OTC
Pink Sheets and the Company will seek to establish relationships with market makers to provide additional trading opportunities in the
Company’s common stock. However, there can be no assurance that a market for the Company’s shares will continue or develop.

7. Base Rate Unavailability.
The
Lender will have the right, from time to time, by notice to the Borrower, to make any technical, administrative, or operational changes
(including, without limitation, (I) changes to the definitions of Business Day and Interest Payment Date, (II) timing and frequency of
determining rates and making payments of interest, (III) inclusion of compounding methodologies and conventions if applicable, and (IV)
other administrative matters (collectively, “Replacement Base Rate Changes”)) that the Lender decides in its reasonable discretion
may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of a Replacement Base Rate. The Replacement Base Rate, together with all
such Replacement Base Rate Changes as specified in any notice, shall become effective on the date specified by the Lender in the notice,
without any further action or consent of the Borrower.
Any
determination, decision, or election that may be made by the Lender, including any conclusion that it is not possible to determine an
interest rate, any determination with respect to a rate or adjustment or the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or
date, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made
in its sole discretion and without consent from the Borrower.
Section
8. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants as of the date of this Note, and as of the date of any
request for a Loan, that:
(a) the
Facility Documents constitute valid, enforceable and binding agreements, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity;
(b) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Facility Documents, and the use of the proceeds of any of the Loans, do not
(i) conflict with any agreement by which it is bound or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the property or
assets of the Borrower thereunder (other than pursuant to any Facility Documents) to which the Borrower is a party or is bound or by
which its properties may be bound or affected, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation,
Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board), order, writ, judgment or injunction presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower,
or (iii) require the consent or approval of any individual, business, governmental authority or other entity; and
(c) no
litigation, claim, investigation, administrative proceeding or similar action is pending or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge,
threatened (i) involving or affecting any material part of the Borrower’s assets, any of the Facility Document collateral, or the
transactions contemplated in the Facility Documents or (ii) against the Borrower that, if adversely determined, is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the condition of the Borrower. There are currently no material judgments entered against the Borrower and the Borrower
is not in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or order of any court or other judicial authority, which default is
likely to have or has had a material adverse effect on the condition of the Borrower.
Section
9. Events of Default. If any one or more of the following events shall occur (each an “Event of Default”):

THEN,
the Lender may, by notice to the Borrower, declare this Note to be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceleration

Section
13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.
Section
14. Miscellaneous.
(a) The
provisions of this Note are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Note is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part
in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability
without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions thereof in any jurisdiction.
(b) Except
for changes the parties have agreed may be made by the Lender in the Lender’s discretion without consultation with the Borrower,
no amendment or modification of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless the same shall be executed by the Borrower and the
Lender. A waiver by the Lender of a provision of this Note shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to otherwise demand
strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Note. Whenever the consent of the Lender is required under this
Note, the granting of such consent shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and
in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion. The Lender shall not be deemed to have waived
any rights under this Note unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Lender.
(c) No
delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy waives that right or remedy. No single or partial exercise by
the Lender of any right or remedy precludes any other future exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights
and remedies in this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies which the Lender may have under law or under other
agreements or arrangements with the Borrower. The Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and any other notice or formality
with respect to this Note except for any notices expressly required by this Note.
(d) If
the term “Borrower” is or becomes defined to include more than one party, then the obligations, representations and warranties
of the Borrower hereunder shall be joint and several regardless of any change in business relations, divorce, legal separation or other
legal proceedings and regardless of any agreement that may affect liabilities between or among such parties, and the Lender shall be
entitled to act on notices and requests from any one of the parties without the consent of the other party(ies).
(e) The
obligations of the Borrower under this Note shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the
extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged
or collected by the Lender.
(f) Except
as otherwise permitted in this Note, notices (including, without limitation, interest statements) shall be addressed to the Lender as
set forth in the Lender’s signature block below, and to the Borrower addressed as set forth in the Borrower’s signature block
below, or any email address that the Borrower has provided to the Lender as the Borrower’s email address (or at such other number
or address as shall be designated by one party to the other by telephone or in the manner provided for in this Section) and either given
electronically or in writing by hand, overnight courier, certified or registered mail, or regular mail. Notices sent by hand, overnight
courier, certified or registered mail, or regular mail shall be deemed to have been given when delivered. Notices sent to an email address
shall be deemed received when sent, provided, that, if such notice is not sent during normal business hours, such notice shall be deemed
to have been sent and received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. All notices by the Lender properly addressed to the
Borrower shall be deemed to have been personally delivered to the Borrower whether actually received or not.
(g) Reserved.
(h) Each
reference to the Lender shall be deemed to include its successors, endorsees and assigns, in whose favor the provisions hereof shall
inure. Each reference to the Borrower shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions
hereof. This Note shall be binding on the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, except that the Borrower may not delegate
or assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender.
(i) This
Note, any amendment to this Note and any agreement, notice or other communication required by this Note to be “written” or
“in writing” may be executed in any number of counterparts, including counterparts that are executed on paper and counterparts
that are electronic records and are executed using electronic signatures generated through the electronic execution process provided
by the Lender or such other electronic execution process acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion. Each counterpart of such document,
when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same document. Delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of a signature page of such document by emailed PDF or JPEG from the Borrower’s e-mail address on file with
the Lender, or any other electronic means acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion that reproduces an image of such manually executed
signature page, shall each be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such document; provided, that, the Lender,
in its sole discretion, can require subsequent delivery of the manually executed counterpart of a signature page.
(j) The
date, amount, Base Rate of, Maturity Date of, Applicable Margin of, and the Interest Rate with respect to, each Loan evidenced hereby,
and all payments of principal and/or interest thereof shall, in each case, be evidenced by records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary
course of business and such records shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error and any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to any Loan
made hereunder.
Section
15. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Loan under this Note
or make available such proceeds to any person or entity: (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any person or entity, or in
any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding is the subject of any economic or financial sanctions or trade embargoes
imposed, administered or enforced from time to time by the U.S. government, including the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office
of Foreign Assets Control or the U.S. Department of State or (ii) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization
of the payment or giving of money or anything else of value, to any person in violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations
relating to bribery or corruption.
Section
16. Indebtedness Covenant. The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until the outstanding
principal amount of the Note (together with interest thereon), fees and all of the Borrower’s other obligations incurred hereunder,
are paid in full, the Borrower will not contract, create, incur assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness other than the Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to this Note.
Section
17. Conversion From Electronic Note to Paper-Based Note. If this Note is executed electronically (“Electronic Note”),
the Lender and any person to whom this Electronic Note is later transferred shall have the right to convert this Electronic Note at any
time into a paper-based Note (“Paper-Based Note”). In the event this Electronic Note is converted into a Paper-Based Note:
(a) the
Paper-Based Note will be an effective, enforceable and valid instrument;
(b) the
execution of this Electronic Note will be deemed issuance and delivery of the Paper-Based Note;
(c) the
printing of the representation of the electronic signature for the Borrower upon the Paper-Based Note from the system in which the Electronic
Note is stored will be deemed the original signature for the Borrower on the Paper-Based Note and will serve to indicate the Borrower’s
present intention to authenticate the Paper-Based Note;
(d) the
Paper-Based Note will be a valid original writing for all legal purposes; and
(e) upon
conversion to a Paper-Based Note, the Borrower’s obligations in the Electronic Note shall automatically transfer to, and be contained
in, the Paper-Based Note, and the Borrower intends to be bound by such obligations.
Section
18. Execution and Use of Electronic Records and Signatures. If the Borrower has received and reviewed this Note electronically,
then the Borrower agrees that this Note may be in the form of an electronic record and may be executed using electronic signatures generated
through the electronic execution process provided by the Lender or such other electronic execution process acceptable to the Lender in
its sole discretion. Any electronic signature on or associated with this Note and accepted by the Lender shall be valid and binding on
the signer to the same extent as a manual signature and upon application thereof, this Note will constitute a legal, valid, and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms to the same extent as if manually executed. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Note, at the Lender’s option and in the Lender’s sole discretion, any agreement, amendment, notice or other communication
required by this Note to be “written” or “in writing” may be in the form of an electronic record and may be executed
using electronic signatures generated through the electronic execution process provided by the Lender or such other electronic execution
process acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion.
Section
19. Amendment and Restatement. Except as amended herein, all terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Line of Credit Note
dated November 14, 2022 (the “Existing Note”) remain in full force and effect. This is an amendment to the Existing Note.
It is not a novation or other modification of any kind.
