The information set forth in Item 2.03 is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On July 2, 2019, Bionik Laboratories Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

 

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information in this report (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein (including Exhibit 99.1).

 

Item 2.03Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On June 27, 2019, an existing investor (the “Lender”) of the Company subscribed for a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) and loaned to the Company an aggregate of $250,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan represents an additional tranche borrowed pursuant to an up to $9,000,000 convertible note offering (the “Offering”), for total borrowed principal through June 27, 2019 of $950,000.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Loan for the Company’s working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month, computed based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be payable, along with the principal amount, on the earlier of (the “Maturity Date”): (a) March 30, 2020 and (b) the consummation of the Offering, provided that the Company raises in one or more tranches aggregate gross proceeds of no less than US$9,000,000 (“Qualified Financing”).

 

The Note will be convertible into equity of the Company upon the following events on the following terms:

  

·On the Maturity Date without any action on the part of the Lender, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note will be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of US$6.80 per share (the “Conversion Price”).

 

·Upon a change of control transaction prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note would, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal of the loans under the Offering, be either (i) payable upon demand as of the closing of such change of control transaction or (ii) convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to such change of control transaction at a price per share equal to the lesser of (x) the Conversion Price, or (y) the per share consideration to be received by the holders of the common stock in such change of control transaction.

 

The Note contains customary events of default, which, if uncured, entitle the Lender to accelerate the due date of the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, its Note.

 

The foregoing is a brief description of the subscription of the Note and the terms of the Note and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement and the form of the Note, the forms of which are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2019, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The disclosure set forth above in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the issuance of the Note is incorporated by reference herein. The Note and, unless subsequently registered, the shares underlying the Note, will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Regulation D promulgated thereunder and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
