ITEM 4.PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION 

 

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded as follows:

 

On September 14, 2022, I-Minerals entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with BV Lending and the I-Mineral’s subsidiary, i-minerals USA, Inc. (“i-minerals USA”), an Idaho company that owns the leases that comprise the Helmer-Bovill Property. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, I-Minerals has agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding common shares of i-minerals USA to BV Lending (the “Transaction”).

 

In consideration of all of the issued and outstanding shares of i-minerals USA, each of I-Minerals and BV Lending agreed that:

 

·Immediately prior to closing of the Transaction, I-Minerals will contribute to i-minerals USA an intercompany debt owed by i-minerals USA to I-Minerals in the amount of approximately US$25.7 million, resulting in the cancellation of the outstanding indebtedness. 

·At the closing of the Transaction, I-Minerals will sell all of the shares of i-minerals USA to BV Lending for an amount equal to $3,000,000 (the “Share Value”). 

·The Share Value will be satisfied by BV Lending on a non-cash basis by the set off of an equal amount of debt owed by I-Minerals to BV Lending (the “Set Off”). 

·Immediately following the Set Off, BV Lending will transfer to I-Minerals the balance of the debt owed by I-Minerals to BV Lending (which debt was approximately US$35.4 million before the Set Off). 

·Previously entered into loan agreements dated June 1, 2016, September 11, 2018 and October 25, 2019 among I-Minerals, BV Lending and i-minerals USA, including all security granted thereunder, will be terminated and/or discharged 

·I-Minerals will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in favor of BV Lending for a period of five years commencing on closing of the Transaction. 

·The Transaction is subject to the approval of the Transaction by shareholders of I-Minerals (the “Shareholders”) and the TSX Venture Exchange. 

 

As part of the Transaction, BV Lending has agreed to pay taxes that will become payable by I-Minerals as a result of the Transaction (approximately US$450,000). In consideration for such payment by BV Lending, I-Minerals will issue a promissory note in favor of BV Lending for the amount of the taxes so paid. The promissory note will be repaid out of any refund received by I-Minerals from the applicable government agency.

 

Following the completion of the Transaction, I-Minerals will not have any mineral properties due to the sale of i-minerals USA, which owns the Helmer-Bovill Property. Accordingly, I-Minerals will need to identify and, if successful, acquire a new business.

 

Closing of the Transaction is subject to a number of key conditions including shareholder approval, TSX Venture Exchange approval, no more than 5% of the shareholders exercising their dissenting rights and other such other conditions that are customary for this type of Transaction.

 

BV Lending was founded by Mr. Allen L. Ball, a former director of I-Minerals, and is an affiliate of BVNR.

ITEM 6.CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER 

 

The information provided in Item 4 is incorporated by this reference.

 

The Issuer had three loan agreements with $34,855,516 in indebtedness as of April 30, 2022, with BV Lending (the “Lender”). All outstanding indebtedness is due and payable on December 31, 2022. The Lender may negotiate additional loan repayment extensions with the Issuer but has no obligation to do so.

 

All three loan agreements accrue any interest due as an advance, unless the Lender elects with due notice to have the interest paid in cash or shares of the Issuer. The 2016 Loan Agreement (“First, Second and Third Promissory Notes”), the 2018 Loan Agreement (“Fifth Promissory Notes”), and the 2019 Loan Agreement (“Sixth Promissory Notes”) accrue interest at annual rates of 12%, 14%, and 14%, respectively. On July 15, 2021, the interest rate was decreased to 0.13% per annum effective May 1, 2021 for no consideration.

 

The 2016 and 2018 loan agreements awarded finance fees in the form of shares and/or warrants of the Issuer to an affiliate of the Lender at a specified rate for each cash advance.

First, Second and Third Promissory Notes

 

On September 13, 2013, January 27, 2014 and December 4, 2014, I-Minerals entered into agreements with BV Lending LLC, a company controlled by Allen L. Ball, a director of our Company (the “Lender”) pursuant to which $5,787,280 was advanced to I-Minerals in tranches (the “First Promissory Notes”). On February 18, 2015 and December 1, 2015, I-Minerals entered into agreements with the Lender pursuant to which $5,457,000 was advanced to I-Minerals in tranches (the “Second Promissory Notes”). On June 1, 2016, October 25, 2017, January 19, 2018 and March 30, 2018, I-Minerals entered into agreements with the Lender pursuant to which $4,045,000 was advanced to I-Minerals in tranches (the “Third Promissory Notes”). In addition, the First Promissory Notes and the Second Promissory Notes were amended and combined with the Third Promissory Notes with a modified maturity date of March 31, 2019.

 

On October 25, 2017, I-Minerals entered into an amending agreement with the Lender to extend the maturity date of the outstanding Promissory Notes from December 2, 2017 to March 31, 2019. In consideration for the extension, I-Minerals agreed to pay a 1% extension fee in the amount of $168,152 with the fee deemed as advances (not subject to bonus shares or bonus warrants). On March 27, 2019, an amending agreement was entered into extending the maturity date of the Promissory Notes from March 31, 2019 to June 30, 2019 for no consideration. On June 28, 2019, the Third Promissory Notes maturity date was extended to October 31, 2019. On October 25, 2019, I-Minerals entered into an amending agreement with the Lender extending the maturity date of the Third Promissory Notes, for no consideration to the earlier of (i) June 30, 2020 and (ii) 60 days after a pre-feasibility study has been filed on SEDAR. Through a series of amendments, the maturity date was extended to February 15, 2023. In addition, the interest rate was decreased to 0.13% per annum effective May 1, 2021 from 12% to 14%.

 

Certain conditions may result in early repayment including immediate repayment in the event a person currently not related to I-Minerals acquires more than 40% of the outstanding common shares of I-Minerals.

 

The Third Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 0.13% per annum and during the year ended April 30, 2022, I-Minerals recorded interest of $32,880 (2021 - $3,048,758). Interest is payable semi-annually as calculated on May 31st and November 30th of each year. Interest is to be paid either in cash, in common shares or deemed an advance of principal at the option of the Lender. A 5% late payment penalty may apply if payment is not paid within ten days after the due date. During the year ended April 30, 2022, the Lender elected to have interest payable from December 1, 2020 to November 30, 2021 of $1,331,675 deemed as advances.

 

Fifth Promissory Notes

 

On September 11, 2018, I-Minerals entered into a Loan Agreement the Lender pursuant to which up to $2,500,000 will be advanced to I-Minerals in tranches (the “Fifth Promissory Notes”). As at April 30, 2020, I-Minerals had received $2,500,000 in advances pursuant to the Fifth Promissory Notes. The Fifth Promissory Notes were due on December 31, 2019. On October 25, 2019, I-Minerals entered into an amending agreement with the Lender extending the maturity date for both notes, for no consideration, to the earlier of (i) June 30, 2020 and (ii) 60 days after a pre-feasibility study has been filed on SEDAR. In addition, the interest rate was decreased to 0.13% per annum effective May 1, 2021 from 12% to 14%.

 

The Fifth Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 0.13% per annum payable semi-annually as calculated on May 31st and November 30th of each year. Interest is to be paid either in cash, in common shares or deemed an advance of principal at the option of the Lender. During the year ended April 30, 2022 I-Minerals recorded interest of $4,017 (2021 - $428,415). The lender elected to have interest payable of $187,867 from December 1, 2020 to November 30, 2021 deemed as advances.

 

I-Minerals and the Lender agreed that the Lender is to receive bonus shares equal to 6% of each loan tranche advanced under the Fifth Promissory Notes divided by I-Minerals’ common share market price up to a maximum of 1,054,097 bonus shares. During the year ended April 30, 2020, I-Minerals issued 1,054,097 bonus shares to the Lender at the fair value of $106,858. The fair value of the bonus shares was determined by reference to the trading price of I-Minerals’ common shares on the date the advances were received.

 

The aggregate finance fees (bonus shares) are recorded against the promissory notes balance and are being

amortized to the Statement of Loss over the life of the promissory notes using the effective interest method. The accretion expense in respect of the debt discount recorded on the issuance of bonus shares totaled $nil for the year ended April 30, 2021 (2021 - $nil). The unamortized debt discount as at April 30, 2022 is $nil (2021 – $nil).

 

Sixth Promissory Notes

 

On October 25, 2019, I-Minerals entered into a Loan Agreement with the Lender pursuant to which up to $700,000 will be advanced to I-Minerals in tranches (the “Sixth Promissory Notes”). On January 20, 2020 and July 8, 2020, I-Minerals entered into amending agreements whereby the Lender agreed to advance an additional $600,000 and $1,200,000, respectively, under the same terms as the Sixth Promissory Notes. As at April 30, 2022, I-Minerals had received $3,350,000 in advances pursuant to the Sixth Promissory Notes. Subsequent to April 30, 2022, I-Minerals received $125,000 pursuant to the Sixth Promissory Notes.

 

The Sixth Promissory Notes were due on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2020 and (ii) 60 days after a pre-feasibility study has been filed on SEDAR. On June 4, 2020, the promissory notes were extended to December 15, 2020 for no consideration. The interest rate was decreased to 0.13% per annum effective May 1, 2021 from 12% to 14%; on June 14, 2022, the Lender agreed to advance an additional $450,000, under the same terms as the Sixth Promissory Notes; and through a series of amendments, the maturity date was extended to February 15, 2023.

 

The Sixth Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 0.13% per annum and during the year ended April 30, 2022, I-Minerals recorded interest of $3,725 (2021 - $248,064). Interest is payable semi-annually as calculated on May 31st and November 30th of each year.
