Item 6. Contracts, Arrangement, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D as follows:

 

(1) The following new paragraphs are added after the paragraphs under the caption “Securities Purchase Agreement” and before the paragraphs under the caption “Warrant and Tranche II Warrant”:

 

Transaction Agreement

 

On August 5, 2022, the Issuer entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with ExxonMobil Renewables and ExxonMobil Oil Corporation. Pursuant to the Warrant dated August 5, 2022 issued by the Company in connection with the Transaction Agreement, the Issuer agreed, among other things, to issue to ExxonMobil Renewables LLC Warrants (the “Tranche III Warrants”) for 2,489,643 shares of Common Stock in connection with certain amendments to the Product Off-Take Agreement dated effective April 10, 2019 (as amended), entered into between a subsidiary of the Issuer and ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and certain amendments to the Term Purchase Agreement dated effective April 21, 2021 (as amended), entered into between a subsidiary of the Issuer and ExxonMobil Oil Corporation.

 

 

CUSIP No. 378989206SCHEDULE 13D/APage 4 of 5

The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Transaction Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 7.6, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(2) The paragraphs under the caption “Warrant and Tranche II Warrant” are hereby amended and restated in their entirety and the section heading “Warrant and Tranche II Warrant” is hereby renamed “Warrants”:

 

Warrants

 

In connection with the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock under the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date on February 23, 2022, the Issuer issued the Warrant and the Tranche II Warrant to ExxonMobil Renewables pursuant to warrant certificates.

 

The Warrant has a per share exercise price of $2.25 and the right to be exercised for cash or by means of cashless exercise. The Warrant is exercisable immediately. In connection with the amendments to the Product Off-Take Agreement and Term Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the term of the Warrant was extended so that it now expires on December 23, 2028, unless such day is not a business day, then the next preceding business day.

 

The Tranche II Warrant entitles ExxonMobil Renewables to purchase up to 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The Tranche II Warrant, however, cannot be exercised until the earlier of (i) the date on which ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation, extends the term of its Product Off-Take Agreement dated effective April 10, 2019 (as amended), entered into between a subsidiary of the Issuer and ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, and (ii) a change of control or sale of the Issuer, or the dissolution of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the exercise price of the Tranche II Warrant was changed from $3.75 per share to $2.25 per share, and the term was extended so that it now expires on December 23, 2028, or if such day is not a business day, then the next preceding business day.

 

The Tranche III Warrants (issued to ExxonMobil Renewables LLC as described above) are immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $2.25 per share, and expire on December 23, 2028.

 

The foregoing description of the Warrant, the Tranche II Warrant and the Tranche III Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the applicable Warrant, which are filed hereto as Exhibit 7.2, 7.3 and 7.7, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On August 5, 2022, the Issuer and ExxonMobil Renewables entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, ExxonMobil Renewables will have certain demand, “piggyback” and other registration rights. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 7.8, and is incorporated herein by reference.
