Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on December 19, 2021, Globis Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation ("Globis"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Business Combination Agreement"), by and among Globis, Forafric Agro Holdings
Limited, a Gibraltar private company limited by shares ("FAHL"), and Lighthouse
Capital Limited, a Gibraltar private company limited by shares (the "Seller").
The Business Combination Agreement provides for the consummation of the
following transactions (collectively, the "Business Combination"): (a) Globis
will change its jurisdiction of incorporation to Nevada by merging with and into
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globis incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada ("Globis Nevada"), such that Globis Nevada will survive the merger, and
Globis Nevada will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by
way of a redomiciliation and domesticating as a Gibraltar public company limited
by shares (the "Redomiciliation") and changing its name to "Forafric Global PLC"
(referred to herein as "New Forafric"); and (b) immediately following the
effectiveness of the Redomiciliation, New Forafric will acquire 100% of the
equity interests in FAHL from the Seller.
Convertible Bonds Offering
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, between December 31, 2021
and January 3, 2022, affiliates of Up and Up Capital, LLC and Globis SPAC LLC,
the sponsors of Globis, subscribed for convertible bonds of FAHL, as issuer (the
"Bonds Issuer"), in an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million (the "FAHL
Bonds") in a private placement, issued pursuant to a Bond Subscription Deed (the
"Bond Subscription Deed"), among the Bonds Issuer, the Seller, and bond
subscribers as defined therein. On January 19, 2022, FAHL issued an additional
convertible bond pursuant to the terms of the Bond Subscription Deed in an
aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million (the "Additional FAHL Bond") to an
unaffiliated investor (the "Additional Bond Investor").
The terms of the Additional FAHL Bond are substantially the same as the FAHL
Bonds. The Additional FAHL Bond is an unsecured obligation of the Bonds Issuer
and is not transferable without the consent of the Bonds Issuer (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld). Unless earlier converted or redeemed in
accordance with the terms of the Additional FAHL Bond, the Additional FAHL Bond
will mature and be redeemed on June 15, 2026. Interest shall accrue on the
Additional FAHL Bond at a rate of 6% per annum and the Additional Bond Investor
is entitled to certain customary information rights.
Pursuant to the terms of the Additional FAHL Bond, upon consummation of the
Business Combination, the Additional FAHL Bond will automatically convert into
ordinary shares of New Forafric at a price per share that is a 10% discount to
the $10.50 per share purchase price payable under the previously-announced PIPE
Subscription Agreement, dated December 31, 2021, subject to certain adjustments.
Pursuant to a letter of acknowledgement (the "Acknowledgement"), Globis also
granted the Additional Bond Investor certain registration rights whereby Globis
has agreed to file (at Globis' sole cost and expense) a registration statement
registering the resale of the ordinary shares issued upon conversion of the
Additional FAHL Bond (the "Bonds Resale Registration Statement") within 45
calendar days after closing of the Business Combination, if these ordinary
shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Business
Combination. Globis will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the
Bonds Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable
after the filing thereof.
Copies of the Bond Subscription Deed and the Acknowledgement are filed as
Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to Globis' Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 4,
2022 and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the
Bond Subscription Deed and Acknowledgement are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of the Bond Subscription Deed and Acknowledgement
filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K
under the heading "Convertible Bonds Offering" is incorporated by reference
herein. The ordinary shares of New Forafric issuable upon automatic conversion
of the Additional FAHL Bond will not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and will be issued in reliance on the
exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act.
