Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 27, 2021, Purebase Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Materials Extraction Agreement (the “Agreement”) with US Mine, LLC, a California limited liability company (“US Mine”), pursuant to which the Company acquired the rights to extract up to 100,000,000 tons of metakaolin supplementary cementitious materials (“SCM”) from property owned by US Mine in Ione, California (the “Property”), for a purchase price $50,000,000, which was paid through the Corporation’s issuance to US Mine of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”). In addition, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay US Mine a production royalty of $5.00 per ton of SCM extracted from the Property. The Agreement shall remain in effect until such time as 100,000,000 tons of SCM have been extracted from the Property, or the Agreement is sooner terminated, as provided for therein.

 

The Note matures on May 27, 2031 and bears interest at a rate of 2.5% per annum, which is also payable on maturity. Amounts due under the Note may be converted into shares (“Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.43 per share, which was the closing sale price of the Corporation’s common stock on the OTCQB marketplace on the date of issuance of the Note; provided, however, that: (i) up to 50% of the outstanding balance due under the Note (the “Outstanding Balance”) may be converted on or after the Company is listed for trading on a national securities exchange (such date hereinafter referred to as the “Listing Date”); (ii) up to an additional 25% of the Outstanding Balance may be converted on or after the 6-month anniversary of the Listing Date; and (iii) the remainder of the Outstanding Balance may be converted on or after the 12-month anniversary of the Listing Date. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note is subject to adjustment from time to time for any subdivision or consolidation of the Company’s shares.


A. Scott Dockter, the principal executive officer and a director and shareholder of the Company, and John Bremer, a director and shareholder of the Company, are also manager-members of US Mine. The Company’s board of directors approved the transaction described in this Report, with Mr. Dockter and Mr. Bremer abstaining from providing consent due to their interest in the transaction.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and the Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Report”) as Exhibit 10.14 and 4.2, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
