Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
iBOT Acquisition
On November 19, 2023, Citrine Global, Corp. (the “Company”), the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the “Agreement”) with iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd. (“iBOT”) pursuant to which the Company will receive an 19% equity stake in iBOT on a fully diluted basis in consideration for which the Company which issue to iBOT 70,370,370 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Agreement also granted the Company an option, exercisable through June 30, 2024 and extendable, at the Company’s option, for an additional six months, to increase the Company’s shareholdings in iBOT to a total of 51% of iBOT’s equity on a fully diluted basis. The consideration for the increased equity position would be paid by a combination of shares and cash, as agreed by the Company and iBOT, provided that such consideration shall include a cash component that will be sufficient to cover iBOT’s operating budget for a 24 month period. iBOT is authorized to determine whether the Company’s exercise of the option, if any, will be through the issuance by iBOT of new shares to the Company or through the purchase by the Company of the requisite number of shares from existing iBOT shareholders.
It was determined that the purchase price for the iBOT equity was based on the discounted pre-company valuation of iBOT prepared by an independent third party valuator commissioned by the Company of $10,000,000. It was also agreed that all share issuances by the Company to iBOT would be calculated a per share price of $0.027, representing then the highest closing price of the Company’s common stock during the 30-day period preceding the authorization of the Company’s board of directors of the transaction.
Convertible Loans
On November 14, 2023, the holders of the convertible loans issued by Citrine High Tech 7 LP, Citrine Biotech 8 LP, and Citrine Biotech 9 LP (collectively, the “LPs”) entered into binding letters of intent pursuant to which the LPs agreed to extend the maturity date of the convertible loans from May 2024 to December 31, 2024. The consideration for the extension was the Company’s agreement to adjust the terms of the notes held by the LPs consistent with the terms of a subsequent financing that Citrine entered into in March 2023. The adjusted terms and conditions relating to the Note shall be memorialized in a written instrument which may include terms and conditions as Citrine Global and the LPs shall agree to.
