Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Registered Offering
Atlas Lithium Corporation (the “Company”) entered into two securities purchase agreements dated November 29, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreements”), with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue 167,954 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Registered Shares”) to each Investor in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Offering”) at a purchase price of $29.77 per share. The proceeds from the Registered Offering are expected to be $10,000,000.00.
The Registered Shares were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 1, 2023, and a base prospectus dated September 18, 2023, which is part of a registration statement (“Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-274223) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 18, 2023. Copies of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the Registered Shares may be obtained for free by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
The Purchase Agreements are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by this reference. The Company anticipates closing of the Registered Offering is expected to take place on or before December 6, 2023.
The Investors in the Registered Offering were also the Buyers under the Offtake Agreements, as further discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell any securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Offtake and Sales Agreements
On November 29, 2023, the Company (hereinafter the “Seller”) entered into Offtake and Sales Agreements (the “Offtake Agreements”) with each of Sichuan Yahua Industrial Group Co., Ltd. and Sheng Wei Zhi Yuan International Limited. a subsidiary of Shenzhen Chengxin Lithium Group Co., Ltd. (each individually, a “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed, for a period of five (5) years, to sell to each Buyer 60,000 dry metric tonnes of lithium concentrate (the “Product”) per year, subject to Seller’s authority to increase or decrease such quantity by up to ten percent (10%) each year. The price for the Product is determined according to a formula as set forth in the Offtake Agreements.
Each Buyer agreed to pre-pay to Seller $20.0 million (each, a “Pre-Payment Amount”) for future deliveries of the Product after Seller obtains customary licenses. Each Pre-Payment Amount will be used to offset against such Buyer’s future payment obligations for the Product.
The Offtake Agreements are terminable (i) by Seller in the event of a change in control of Seller during the term of such agreements, or (ii) by the non-defaulting party in an event of default under such agreements.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Offtake Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Offtake Agreements, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4 and are incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by reference.
