The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 10 is hereby incorporated herein by reference. | ||
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
The Issuer: (i) sought and obtained an initial order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "CCAA Court") that provided the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries with protection from their creditors and other relief under Canada's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, as amended (the "CCAA") and (ii) commenced ancillary insolvency proceedings under Chapter 15 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
On May 14, 2025, Glencore Canada Corporation entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "EAPA") with the Issuer and the other persons listed on Schedule I thereto (collectively, the "Sellers"), and Glencore International AG entered into a DIP Term Sheet with the Issuer (the "DIP Term Sheet"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the EAPA and the DIP Term Sheet, and subject to the CCAA Court's further approval under the CCAA, Glencore Canada Corporation intends to effect a credit bid (the "Credit Bid") pursuant to which the Sellers will sell, transfer and assign to Glencore Canada Corporation, and Glencore Canada Corporation will acquire and assume from the Sellers, the Transferred Assets (as defined in the EAPA), the Transferred Equity Interests (as defined in the EAPA) and the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the EAPA) (collectively, the "EAPA Transaction"). If the EAPA Transaction is consummated, the Credit Bid will be payable by means of, among other things, credit against, first, all amounts owing under the DIP Term Sheet and second, the reduction in the outstanding principal amount of either the A&R Senior Secured Convertible Note or Second A&R Convertible Note No. 1 (by splitting the applicable note into a term loan representing an amount of the outstanding principal amount due and owing under the Credit Bid and a convertible note representing the remainder of the outstanding principal amount and interest of such preexisting note).
The Sellers will seek an order of the CCAA Court (the "SISP Order") in order to obtain the approval of the EAPA by the CCAA Court as a "stalking horse bid" and those certain sale and investment solicitation procedures settled between the parties and provided for in the EAPA (the "SISP"). In the event that the EAPA is selected as the Successful Bid (as defined in the proposed SISP Order) in accordance with the terms of the SISP, the Sellers will seek final approval of the EAPA from the CCAA Court. If such approval is obtained, the Sellers and Glencore Canada Corporation intend to consummate the EAPA Transaction, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof.
The Reporting Persons may in the future, depending on various factors and subject to the terms of the SISP, the DIP Term Sheet, orders of the CCAA Court under the Issuer's CCAA proceeding, the EAPA and applicable securities laws, propose or suggest additional actions that could result in, among other things, any one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Subject to the terms of the SISP, the Reporting Persons may also engage in discussions or negotiations with other debtholders, shareholders and other stakeholders of the Issuer in connection with various matters depending on how the Issuer's CCAA proceeding unfolds as may be appropriate in the circumstances. Each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and intentions, at any time, as it deems appropriate. | ||
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
(a) | Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 10, as of May 15, 2025, are incorporated herein by reference.
As of such date, assuming all applicable regulatory conditions have been satisfied, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote, direct the vote, dispose of or direct the disposition of (and therefore beneficially own), an aggregate of 85,872,668 Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Glencore Notes directly owned by Glencore Canada Corporation, including accrued but unpaid interest through May 15, 2025, plus 7,423 Common Shares previously awarded to Mr. Kunal Sinha under the Issuer's 2021 Incentive Award Plan. This amount of Common Shares represents approximately 65.9% of the outstanding Common Shares and is calculated based on 44,541,690 Common Shares of the Issuer outstanding as of as of March 18, 2025 (such outstanding shares based on information provided in the Issuer's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024), plus the 85,872,668 Common Shares of the Issuer issuable to Glencore Canada Corporation upon conversion of the Glencore Notes directly owned by Glencore Canada Corporation including accrued but unpaid interest through May 15, 2025. The foregoing does not give effect to the EAPA Transaction or any events of default under the Glencore Notes. Mr. Sinha is the Global Head of Recycling at the Glencore group and holds the securities reported herein for the benefit of the Reporting Persons, and will, after vesting, if applicable, transfer the securities directly to the Reporting Persons. | |
(b) | Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 10, as of May 15, 2025, are incorporated herein by reference. | |
(c) | Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Except as otherwise disclosed in this Amendment No. 10 and the Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any of the Schedule I Persons, has effected any transaction during the past 60 days in, any Common Shares. | |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer | |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 10 is hereby incorporated herein by reference. | ||
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. | |
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Exhibit 99.9 Schedules I and II (attached hereto)
