Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. The Company, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity Risk Assessment

 

The Company

 

Loop Industries, Inc. (the “Company,” “Loop,” “we,” or “our”) is a technology company that owns patented and proprietary technology that depolymerizes no and low-value waste polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) plastic and polyester fiber to its base building blocks (monomers).  The monomers are filtered, purified and polymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber. The Company is currently in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures included in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 29, 2025, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 30, 2025. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Loop Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Loop Innovations, LLC and Loop Canada Inc. All subsidiaries are, either directly or indirectly, wholly owned subsidiaries of Loop Industries, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). The Company owns, through Loop Innovations, LLC, a 50% interest in a joint venture, Indorama Loop Technologies, LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method. The Company also owns a 50% interest in a joint venture, Ester Loop Infinite Technologies Private Limited ("India JV"), which is accounted for under the equity method.

 

Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2025, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by US GAAP on an annual reporting basis.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three- and six-month periods ended August 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, or for any other period.

 

All monetary amounts in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified, except for per share data.

 

Liquidity Risk Assessment

 

Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with no recurring revenues, and its ongoing operations and commercialization plans have been financed primarily by raising equity and debt. The Company has recurring net losses, negative cash flow from operating activities since its inception, and has a net capital deficiency. As at August 31, 2025, the Company’s available liquidity was $9,857, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $7,310 and an undrawn amount on a senior loan facility from a Canadian bank of $2,547.

 

Management continuously monitors the Company's cash resources against its cash commitments to determine whether there is sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. In preparing its going concern assessment in accordance with US GAAP, the Company included cash flows that meet the "probable" threshold under ASC 205-40 in its liquidity assessment and has excluded forecasted cash flows that lack substantive support or binding commitments. Based on this assessment, management has determined that current available liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations, commitments and budgeted operating expenditures for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company's ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and participate in the construction of manufacturing facilities through joint ventures is dependent on, among other factors, whether the Company can obtain the necessary funding through a combination of further technology licensing and engineering services arrangements, government incentive programs, and/or the issuance of debt and/or equity. Management is pursuing options to secure financing for Loop's equity contribution for the India JV and to cover ongoing cash requirements through to the start of commercial operations in India. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting additional funding. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Inability to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or to obtain such financing at all when required, would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and on its ability to execute its business plan.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include the going concern assessment, estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of property, plant and equipment, recoverability of tax credits receivable, assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, and the assessment of performance conditions for stock-based compensation awards.

 

Net loss per share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

 

For the three- and six-month periods ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. As at August 31, 2025, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 5,493,138 outstanding stock options (2024 – 2,771,216), 4,256,532 outstanding restricted stock units (2024 – 4,461,818), and nil outstanding warrants (2024 – 2,357,407)

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-05, Joint Venture Formations, which requires joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting by measuring assets and liabilities at fair value upon formation. The amendments address diversity in practice by establishing requirements for recognition and measurement of net assets and liabilities on the formation date. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this accounting guidance for the six-month period ended  August 31, 2025 did not impact the disclosures in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective for our annual period beginning after December 15, 2024 and all joint ventures formed on or after January 1, 2025, which for the Company is the annual period ending February 28, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. The updated standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the accounting for settlements of convertible debt instruments that occur on terms different from the original contractual conversion terms. The amendments introduce a "preexisting contract approach," requiring that, to qualify for induced conversion accounting, the inducement offer must preserve the form of consideration and provide an amount of consideration that is no less than what was issuable under the original conversion privileges. This guidance applies to convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features and to instruments that are not currently convertible but had substantive conversion features at issuance and at the time the inducement offer is accepted. The updated standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This update clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain income statement expenses. Specifically, ASU 2025-01 confirms that the guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, including those assets acquired in a business combination. The practical expedient permits an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year and all interim periods beginning February 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit facility from a Canadian bank

 

On July 26, 2022, Loop Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Borrower"), entered into an Operating Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a Canadian bank. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $2,547 in aggregate principal amount. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's Terrebonne, Québec property and is subject to a minimum equity covenant, tested quarterly with which the Company was in compliance as at August 31, 2025. All borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the bank's Canadian prime rate plus 1.0%. As at August 31, 2025, the $2,547 Credit Facility was available and undrawn. As at August 31, 2024, the Company had borrowings of $1,587 under the Credit Facility.

 

On July 4, 2025, the Borrower, the Company and the Canadian bank executed an amendment to the Credit Facility, modifying the minimum equity covenant to include the balance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as at February 28, 2025 of $10,647 in the calculation of stockholders' equity.

 

On October 10, 2025, the Borrower, the Company and the Canadian bank executed an amendment to the Credit Facility, which removed the minimum equity covenant tested quarterly for the duration of the term of the Credit Facility.

17. Equity Incentive Plan

 

On July 6, 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the granting of warrants, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the Plan at July 6, 2017, with annual automatic share reserve increases, as defined in the Plan, amounting to the lessor of (i) 1,500,000 shares, (ii) 5% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such number of shares determined by the Administrator of the Plan, effective March 1, 2018. On March 1, 2025, the share reserve was increased by 1,500,000 shares (2024 – 1,500,000). The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who designates eligible participants to be included under the Plan, the number of awards granted, the share price pursuant to the awards and the vesting conditions and period. The awards, when granted, will have an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair value of shares at the date of grant and a life not exceeding 10 years from the grant date. However, where a participant, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of the Company, the life of the options shall not exceed 5 years.

 

The following table summarizes the continuity of the units that were authorized for issuance under the Plan as at and during the six-month periods ended August 31, 2025 and 2024:

Introduction

 

Loop Industries is a technology company whose mission is to accelerate the world's shift toward sustainable PET plastic and polyester fiber and away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Loop Industries owns patented and proprietary technology that depolymerizes no and low-value waste PET plastic and polyester fiber, including plastic bottles, packaging, and textiles such as carpets and clothing, into its base building block monomers, DMT and MEG. The monomers are separated, purified and polymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber, thus enabling our customers to meet their sustainability objectives. Loop™ PET plastic and polyester fiber can be recycled infinitely without degradation of quality, helping to close the plastic loop. Loop Industries is committed to contributing to the global movement towards a circular economy by reducing plastic waste and recovering waste plastic for a sustainable future.

 

Loop plans to commercialize the Infinite Loop™ technology through a combination of direct investments with strategic partners to own and operate commercial facilities and the licensing of its technology.

 

As the initial phase of our plan for the commercialization of future Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities, we constructed and have successfully operated our Terrebonne, Québec depolymerization production facility (the “Terrebonne Facility”) for the past five years, demonstrating the effectiveness of our technology and supplying Loop PET resin and polyester fiber to customers. The facility is also used for research and development activities.

 

Loop is currently executing on its commercialization strategy through two key strategic partnerships. The Company is advancing towards the construction of an Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in India through its 50/50 joint venture in India with Ester Industries Ltd. (“Ester”). The facility's planned production capacity is 70,000 tons per year of Loop branded PET resin and polyester fiber. In addition, the Company sold its first technology license to Reed Management SAS, known as Reed Societe Generale Group, for one Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in Europe for an initial down payment of €10 million with additional milestone payments to be received by Loop as the project advances. Infinite Loop Europe, an entity owned 10% by Loop and 90% by Reed Societe Generale Group, was formed with the purpose of developing Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities in Europe. These initiatives represent key steps in implementing the Company's plan to deploy its proprietary depolymerization technology in global markets.

Background

 

Industry Background and Competitive Landscape

 

PET resin is primarily derived from fossil fuel-based monomers and is referred to as “virgin PET” when used for packaging and “virgin polyester” when used for fibers. PET is widely used in packaging, especially for beverage bottles and food containers, due to its excellent barrier properties, durability, and food safety profile. Virgin polyester fiber is also the dominant synthetic fiber in the textile industry, valued for its strength, durability, wrinkle resistance, and versatility in apparel, home furnishings, and industrial applications.

 

Despite growing regulatory and consumer pressure for sustainable alternatives, most of the PET and polyester fiber used globally today is still comprised of fossil fuel-based monomers. In many applications, virgin material is still preferred or required, either alone or blended with recycled content, in order to meet quality specifications. As a result, the global markets for both PET packaging and polyester fiber remain heavily dependent on fossil fuels, underscoring the need for scalable, cost-effective recycling technologies that can produce high-quality PET and polyester fiber from waste plastic.

 

Mechanical recycling is the most common method for recycling PET waste. This multi-step physical process transforms waste PET into reusable materials. The process begins with the collection of waste PET bottles and packaging through various systems, such as curbside programs and deposit returns. The waste is sorted at materials recovery facilities to separate PET from other plastics or materials, then compressed into bales.

 

The bales are broken down and the waste PET shredded into flakes after removal of contaminants like stones, sand, metals, labels, and bottle caps. These flakes undergo rigorous washing and cleaning stages, often using hot water and detergents, to remove dirt, adhesives, and residues. Separation techniques like flotation and air classification are then used to eliminate remaining impurities, and the flakes are dried. Next, the flakes may go through optical color sorting to produce rPET for higher value uses such as clear beverage bottles. The cleaned flakes are then melted at high temperatures, extruded, and cut into uniform pellets. For applications like food-grade packaging, the rPET pellets typically undergo further processing to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards for direct food contact.

 

We believe mechanically recycled PET faces significant challenges in meeting the quality specifications and increasing volume requirements driven by brand commitments and regulatory pressures. Impurities like labels, adhesives, and other types of plastic contained in the waste feedstock compromise the purity of the rPET. While sorting and cleaning technologies help, they are not always effective enough to produce consistently high-quality recycled material. Feedstock limitations also exist because certain PET products, such as colored or multi-layered packaging, are challenging to process mechanically while maintaining quality and consistency, leading to them being sent to landfill or incineration.

 

A key challenge in mechanical recycling is the degradation of PET's physical properties with each recycling cycle. Processes like shredding, washing, and melting can break down polymer chains, reducing strength and clarity, often leading to “downcycling” where the rPET is limited to lower-value applications rather than being recycled back into bottles or food packaging. Due to the progressive degradation of material properties and the accumulation of impurities, PET can typically only be mechanically recycled a limited number of times before its quality is too poor for further processing or valuable applications. The quality of mechanically recycled PET can vary considerably and often require blending with virgin PET to meet performance standards. This inconsistency poses difficulties for manufacturers aiming to incorporate rPET into products, particularly for demanding applications like food packaging.

 

Mechanical recycling does not effectively handle polyester fiber waste. A substantial portion of polyester fiber waste consists of polyester blended with other fibers like cotton or spandex, which mechanical processes are largely ineffective at separating. Additionally, waste polyester fiber often contains dyes, finishes, and other chemicals that cannot be removed through mechanical recycling. Today, most recycled polyester on the market is produced from recycled PET bottles and packaging. A significant portion of PET bottles collected for recycling is diverted into polyester fiber production for textile applications, rather than being recycled back into new bottles.

We believe these inherent limitations of mechanical recycling further re-enforce the need for depolymerization technologies capable of processing a wider range of PET and polyester fiber waste while yielding high-quality material. Depolymerization is a process in which plastics are broken down into their base monomers through chemical reactions, rather than being physically melted down and reprocessed as in mechanical recycling.

 

Among existing depolymerization technologies, we believe that Loop's process offers advantages in handling more contaminated feedstock and in its scalability, which differentiates it from other available methods. This belief is supported by available technical information and due diligence on Loop's technology carried out by multiple industry sources. To our knowledge, other existing depolymerization technologies often require high temperatures and pressures, resulting in substantial energy consumption and potential unwanted chemical reactions which can reduce the yield and purity of the recovered monomers.

 

Infinite Loop™ Technology

 

Our depolymerization technology breaks down waste PET and polyester fiber into its base monomers DMT and MEG. The monomers are purified and then recombined into virgin quality PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber made from 100% recycled content. Our depolymerization operates at low temperature with no added pressure which enables a wider range of PET and polyester fiber to be recycled. Our technology can recycle a wide range of waste PET plastic bottles and packaging of any color, transparency or condition, as well as polyester textiles such as carpet and clothing that contain dyes, additives, or other textiles blended into the fabrics. We believe that our ability to use contaminated feedstocks that other recycling methods cannot process is an important advantage of our technology.

 

Loop's depolymerization technology has the potential to create a closed-loop system for PET plastic and polyester fiber waste, whereby they can be recycled an infinite number of times without degrading the quality of the material, unlike mechanical recycling. This is because the DMT and MEG monomers are purified back to their original state prior to being repolymerized.

 

The Infinite Loop™ Technology is also designed to provide a solution for recycling polyester textile waste, regardless of color or contamination, into 100% recycled virgin-quality polyester. Loop branded polyester fiber can be seamlessly integrated into existing supply chains and manufacturing processes. This closed-loop approach aims to offer a sustainable alternative for the textile industry, addressing the growing issue of textile waste while maintaining high quality and performance.

 

Loop has been operating its Terrebonne Facility for the past five years producing DMT and MEG. The facility has been achieving consistent monomer recovery, demonstrating the effectiveness of our technology and supplying customers with virgin quality PET resin for packaging and polyester fiber for textiles.

 

Agreements with Reed Societe Generale Group

 

On December 12, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with Reed Management SAS (“Reed”), a European investment firm focused on high impact and technology-enabled infrastructure majority-owned by the bank Societe Generale. The Amended Agreement amends the original Share Purchase Agreement dated May 30, 2024 previously reported by the Company in a current report on Form 8-K filed on June 4, 2024. To facilitate the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amended Agreement and to develop Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities in Europe, a simplified joint-stock company has been incorporated under French law (“Infinite Loop Europe”), owned 90% by Reed Circular Economy (“RCE”), an affiliate of Reed and 10% by Loop.

 

On December 23, 2024, the Company closed the financing and licensing transactions contemplated by the Amended Agreement. The Company issued and sold 1,044,430 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share to RCE. Additionally, the Company entered into a License Agreement with RCE, acting on behalf of Infinite Loop Europe, granting a non-transferable, royalty-bearing license to use Loop's proprietary depolymerization technology for one facility within Europe.

 

The Company received total cash proceeds of $20,790 (€20,000) on December 23, 2024.

 

Key terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock include:

 

 

13% PIK dividend rate

 

5-year term

 

Convertible to Loop common stock at $4.75 per share or redeemable in cash

 

We believe the licensing and financing transactions mark a pivotal step in Loop's commercialization strategy, enabling the deployment of its patented recycling technology across Europe and supporting capital investment in cost-effective manufacturing regions, including its joint venture in India with strategic partner Ester. Proceeds from these transactions are being used to fund the India JV project and Loop's operational cash flow needs.

 

We further believe the sale of our first license underscores the commercial readiness of Loop's technology, which has been validated by five years of operations at its Terrebonne facility.

 

On September 23, 2025, Loop entered into a Securityholders Agreement with RCE to establish the framework for the governance, ownership, and operations of the European joint venture, Infinite Loop Europe SAS (the "Europe JV"). Under this agreement, RCE and Loop hold their interests in the Europe JV on a 90/10 basis to pursue the non-exclusive development, financing, construction, ownership, operation, and commercialization of chemical upcycling plants and related products using Loop's technology within Europe. The Securityholders Agreement provides the Europe JV with priority rights to evaluate European project opportunities, establishes financing arrangements between the shareholders, grants Loop options to participate in project equity, and confirms that Loop retains ownership of its intellectual property while granting the Europe JV limited use rights.

 

The Europe JV is managed by a CEO proposed by RCE, with governance provided by a four-member Board of Directors where Loop is entitled to nominate one director and RCE nominates the remainder. Certain transactions that could risk disclosure of Loop's technology and certain related party transactions require unanimous Board approval. RCE has provided the Europe JV with a €10 million shareholder loan to fund the first royalty tranche under the License Agreement, with the loan accruing payment-in-kind interest at 11.9% per annum and maturing on December 27, 2027.

 

Loop and RCE are actively assessing opportunities for the first Infinite Loop™ facility in Europe. Current activities include evaluating potential project locations, engaging with local and national governments to assess the availability of subsidies and incentives, and identifying potential strategic partners to support the execution of the project.

Joint Venture with Ester

 

On May 1, 2024, Loop entered into an agreement with Ester, one of India's leading manufacturers of polyester films and specialty polymers, to form a 50/50 India joint venture (“India JV”). The purpose of the India JV is to build and operate an Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in India which will produce 100% recycled Loop™ PET resin, using the Infinite Loop™ Technology, in order to meet growing demand from leading global brands in different sectors, including strong demand for textile-to-textile polyester fiber to enable circular fashion for apparel brands, a trend we have observed and anticipate to continue.

 

Loop and Ester have a well-established working relationship, with Ester producing Loop™ PET using monomers produced at Loop's Terrebonne Facility for global brand companies over the last five years. The India JV intends to leverage the complementary skill sets of each partner by combining Loop's innovative technology and global customer relationships with Ester's nearly 40 years of specialized polymer production, operational proficiency, and local expertise, including sourcing of PET plastic and polyester fiber waste feedstocks. The India facility will leverage the Infinite Loop™ Technology and existing engineering package which should accelerate the lead-time towards groundbreaking.

 

The planned production capacity of the Infinite Loop™ India facility is 70,000 tons per year of Loop branded PET resin and polyester fiber.

 

We believe the India JV offers attractive projected economic returns without the need for substantial sustainability-linked premium pricing. Loop and Ester made the decision to incorporate a continuous polymerization line at the Infinite Loop™ India facility. By integrating polymerization assets within the Infinite Loop™ India facility, we expect improved efficiency and lower operating costs with a minimal impact on overall project cost.

 

Loop and Ester anticipate that the total funding required for the India JV for the purposes of construction, development and operationalization of the project, including the initial working capital requirements, will be financed by a combination of debt and equity capital. Ester and Loop are each contributing 50% of the equity capital of the India JV. As of August 31, 2025, Loop and Ester had each made total equity contributions of $1.9 million in cash to the India JV. The funds injected in the India JV are being used for preliminary project costs, which are mainly engineering fees.

 

Subject to the terms of the relevant governing documents, Ester will be the exclusive producer of specialty polymers for the India JV, and Loop will be the exclusive seller and marketing agent of the India JV's products. Ester and Loop are working in collaboration on all financing activities for the India JV pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

 

The India JV will also enter into (i) a technology license agreement with Loop (the “Loop Technology License Agreement”), (ii) a service agreement with Ester, and (iii) a sales and marketing agreement with Loop, each on terms mutually agreed upon by the parties. Pursuant to the Loop Technology License Agreement, the India JV will be granted an exclusive, subject to certain exceptions, license to exploit the Infinite Loop™ Technology in India at a royalty rate set forth in the Loop Technology License Agreement.

 

Loop has entered into an engineering services agreement with the India JV to provide engineering services and support the local engineering firm. This has resulted in Loop generating engineering services revenue of $0.2 million in the six-month period ended August 31, 2025. On June 22, 2025, Loop executed a $1.5 million engineering services agreement with the India JV to support it through construction as it moves towards breaking ground on the Infinite Loop™ India facility. This new engineering services agreement builds on the initial engineering services agreement with the India JV which was fulfilled over Q4 of fiscal 2025 and Q1 of fiscal 2026, underscoring the role of engineering services in Loop's commercialization strategy as an important and growing source of revenue.

 

The development of the Infinite Loop™ India facility continues to progress towards groundbreaking. Following the completion of a detailed land study by an external engineering firm, the India JV partners have identified the state of Gujarat, India's synthetic textile capital as the optimal location for the facility based on several key requirements such as infrastructure, proximity to a seaport for exports, renewable energy for a reduction in CO₂ emissions and proximity to waste PET and polyester feedstocks.

 

On August 13, 2025, the India JV executed an agreement with a group of sellers for the acquisition of approximately 93 acres in Gujarat, India, for total consideration of 9,072,000 Indian rupees (approximately US $103,720) per acre. The sellers are obligated to consolidate the parcels, deliver marketable title with requisite governmental approvals, and construct bituminous access road infrastructure, with completion required within five months of execution, subject to extension at India JV's sole discretion. The purchase price is payable through advance payments secured by equitable mortgages over designated parcels, with remaining consideration due upon title transfer. The agreement incorporates customary representations, warranties, and covenants, together with termination provisions permitting India JV to reject non-compliant parcels or terminate for material breach, including failure to deliver contiguous parcels, with full restitution of payments made.

 

Strategically located within the Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR), the site offers direct access to abundant polyester textile waste feedstock, a skilled petrochemical workforce, and a streamlined permitting process. Its proximity to a deep-water seaport will further support cost-efficient exports of the India JV’s products.

 

Feedstock sourcing for the facility, of which there is abundant supply from textile waste in India, is well advanced. Furthermore, the India JV has engaged a leading global advisory firm to manage the debt syndication process for financing the construction of the Infinite Loop™ India facility.

 

Based on an engineering study completed by an engineering firm in May 2025, the estimated total investment cost for the facility, including continuous polymerization, financing costs during construction and initial working capital requirements, is expected to be approximately $176 million. Groundbreaking for the Infinite Loop™ India facility is now expected to occur by end of fiscal year 2026, with commercial operations projected to commence in calendar 2027.

Commercialization Strategy

 

Our commercialization strategy to achieve global expansion of the Infinite Loop™ Technology is founded on a combination of direct investments with strategic partners to own and operate commercial facilities and the licensing of our technology.

 

The global expansion plan for our technology will allow our target customers, mostly comprised of apparel companies and CPG companies, to integrate Loop™ PET resin and polyester fiber into their products and packaging. As countries around the globe continue to impose sustainability targets and recycled content mandates, we observe that companies are increasingly seeking to incorporate sustainably produced materials into their products. Our market strategy is to assist global consumer goods and apparel companies in meeting these requirements as well as their own stated sustainability commitments by offering co-branded packaging or polyester fibers that are made with Loop 100% recycled, virgin-quality PET. We believe that Loop™ recycled PET resin and polyester fiber could command premium pricing over virgin, petroleum-based PET resin and provide attractive economic returns.

 

The Infinite Loop™ Technology is the key pillar of our commercialization strategy. We believe our technology is well positioned to respond to the global transition away from fossil fuels and petrochemicals and into the circular economy, where PET plastic and polyester fiber are produced by recycling waste polyester that would otherwise typically be destined for landfill or incineration, rather than relying on fossil-based resources.

 

We have completed our process design package for the Infinite Loop™ full-scale manufacturing facilities to be used as the base engineering platform for all future facilities. We believe this approach allows for quick execution, speed to market, and lends itself well to modular construction. The basic design package has a capacity of up to 70,000 tons of rDMT and 23,000 tons of rMEG, or 70,000 tons of Loop PET and polyester fiber output per year, subject to applicable site-specific permitting, site and regulatory considerations.

 

We are focused on direct investments in Infinite Loop™ commercial facilities located in low-cost manufacturing regions. By strategically selecting cost-efficient locations, we aim to optimize production costs and improve overall financial performance, while limiting our capital contributions.

 

This direct investment approach also includes leveraging partnerships to integrate Loop's proprietary technology and sales and marketing expertise with the operational and construction capabilities of experienced partners. We believe this combination of complementary skill sets allows for more efficient project execution, accelerated market adoption, and scalable growth.

 

We expect that revenue generation from direct investments in commercial facilities will be driven by two key streams: (i) profits from the operation of commercial facilities, and (ii) royalties paid to Loop for licensing its technology and exclusive responsibility of sales and marketing. We believe these income sources will support long-term financial sustainability and growth.

 

This approach is currently being deployed through the Company's 50/50 joint venture in India with Ester, which is advancing towards the construction of an Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility. The facility's planned production capacity is 70,000 tons per year of Loop branded PET resin and polyester fiber. The India JV intends to leverage the complementary skill sets of each partner by combining Loop's innovative technology and global customer relationships with Ester's nearly 40 years of specialized polymer production, operational proficiency, and local expertise, including sourcing of PET plastic and polyester fiber waste feedstocks. Loop will grant a royalty-bearing license to the India JV and will be the exclusive seller and marketing agent of the India JV's products.

We also aim to accelerate the roll-out of the Infinite Loop™ technology through the sale of technology licenses for commercial facilities in which Loop may take limited or no ownership. We expect licensee-owned facilities to allow us to scale our technology efficiently, without requiring significant capital investment from Loop. Revenue generation through technology licensing is expected to come from a combination of up-front and recurring royalties.

 

This approach focused on licensing is currently being deployed in our European partnership with Reed Societe Generale Group. The Company sold its first technology license to Reed Societe Generale Group for one Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in Europe for an initial down payment of €10.0 million with additional milestone payments to be received by Loop as the project advances. Infinite Loop Europe was formed with the purpose of developing Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities in Europe to be owned 10% by Loop and 90% by RCE. Loop has the right to increase its ownership in each project developed through Infinite Loop Europe up to 50% subject to a binding commitment.

 

Additionally, we aim to generate income by providing engineering services throughout all phases of project development, construction, and startup for all Infinite Loop™ commercial facilities, supporting efficient project execution and creating a steady revenue stream prior to the startup of the facility.

 

Loop has entered into an engineering services agreement with the India JV to provide engineering services and support the completion of the engineering for the planned Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in India. This has resulted in Loop generating engineering services revenue of $0.2 million in the six-month period ended August 31, 2025.

 

We are also in the process of implementing a modular construction strategy, in order to reduce overall capital expenditures and operating expenses, while improving project timelines and ensuring standardized design and quality, and providing a scalable solution for global expansion. This strategy envisages that we would manufacture plant modules in a low-cost country to be transported and assembled on site at global locations, and would potentially provide an additional income stream alongside returns from owned facilities and royalties.

 

The Company's ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development, including the construction of manufacturing plants and the commercialization of its technology and products at scale, is dependent on, among other factors, its ability to obtain the necessary financing through a combination of the issuance of equity, project debt, and/or government incentive programs.

 

Recent Developments

 

Offtake Agreement with Leading Sports Apparel Company

 

In September 2025, we entered into a multi-year offtake agreement with a subsidiary of a leading branded sports apparel company responsible for its global sourcing. Under the terms of this agreement, we will supply agreed minimum volumes of "Twist," our circular polyester resin made entirely from textile waste, at an agreed upon price once our planned Infinite Loop™ India facility becomes operational. This agreement represents a significant commitment from a major global brand to incorporate our textile-to-textile recycled materials into their supply chain.

 

Offtake Agreement with Taro Plast

 

In September 2025, we entered into an offtake agreement with Taro Plast S.p.A. ("Taro Plast"), an Italy-based manufacturer of engineering plastics and compounds. Under this agreement, we will supply Taro Plast with agreed volumes of our 100% recycled, virgin-quality Loop™ DMT produced using our proprietary depolymerization technology at our planned Infinite Loop™ facility in India, once the facility becomes operational. This agreement expands our product offering beyond bottle-grade and fiber-grade PET resin into the specialty polymers market, where Loop™ DMT can be used for automotive and specialty polymer applications. Taro Plast has conducted independent testing confirming the high purity and performance of Loop™ DMT, and is expected to be the first company to integrate Loop™ DMT into their product portfolio.

 

Strategic Alliance with Shinkong

 

In August 2025, we announced a strategic alliance with Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation ("Shinkong"), a leader in Taiwan's polyester industry and global leader in sustainable polyester yarn solutions. This partnership combines our textile-to-textile manufacturing technology with Shinkong's polyester fiber spinning capabilities and distribution network. Under this alliance, Shinkong will convert our Twist™ polyester resin into high-performance yarns for their network of over 100 customers worldwide, while we can now offer high-quality circular polyester yarns to customers. This collaboration supports our planned Infinite Loop™ India project by providing additional distribution channels and supply chain options for apparel and textile brands across Asian, European, and North American markets.

 

Strategic Alliance with Hyosung TNC

 

In September 2025, we announced a strategic alliance with Hyosung TNC, a complete sustainable textile solutions provider and the world's largest manufacturer of spandex by market share. This alliance combines our Infinite Loop™ depolymerization technology with Hyosung TNC's expertise in advanced textile materials to expand access to circular polyester through textile-to-textile supply chains. Hyosung TNC will convert our Twist™ polyester resin into performance yarns under its regen™ brand portfolio, trusted by leading brands across fashion, activewear, and other textile markets.

Second Quarter Ended August 31, 2025

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three-month period ended August 31, 2025, decreased $23 to $0, as compared to $23 for the same period in 2024. The revenues of $23 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2024 resulted from sales of Loop™ PET resin.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expense for the three-month period ended August 31, 2025, decreased $1,102 to $843, as compared to $1,945 for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $642 decrease in external engineering expenses for design work for our Infinite Loop™ manufacturing process, and a $265 decrease in employee compensation expenses.

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended August 31, 2025, decreased $724 to $1,871, as compared to $2,595 for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $395 decrease in professional fees, which was mainly attributable to legal costs related to our partnerships with Reed Societe Generale Group and Ester incurred in the three-month period ended August 31, 2024, and a $162 decrease in employee compensation.

 

Interest and other financial expenses

 

Interest and other financial expenses increased by $300 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2025. This increase is mainly attributable to the accrued PIK dividend on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued to RCE recorded as an interest expense for $341 in the three-month period ended August 31, 2025 (2024 – nil).

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the three-month period ended August 31, 2025, decreased $1,635 to $3,204, as compared to $4,839 for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease of $1,102 in research and development expenses and the decrease of $724 in general and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by the $300 increase in interest and other financial expenses.

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended August 31, 2025, decreased $1,987 to $3,519, as compared to $5,506 for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1,289 decrease in professional fees, which was mainly due to legal costs related to our partnerships with Reed Societe Generale Group and Ester incurred in the six-month period ended August 31, 2024, a decrease of $229 in employee compensation expenses and a $160 decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

 

Loss on equity accounted investment

 

Loss on equity accounted investment increased by $345 for the six-month period ended August 31, 2025. This loss relates to the Company's 50% portion of the loss incurred by the India JV for the six-month period ended August 31, 2025, during which the India JV incurred preliminary project costs for the planned Infinite Loop™ facility in India, which are mainly engineering fees.

 

Interest and other financial expenses

 

Interest and other financial expenses increased by $658 for the six-month period ended August 31, 2025. This increase is mainly attributable to the accrued PIK dividend on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued to RCE recorded as an interest expense for $681 in the six-month period ended August 31, 2025 (2024 – nil).

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the six-month period ended August 31, 2025, decreased $3,377 to $6,651, as compared to $10,028 for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease of $1,987 in general and administrative expenses and the decrease of $1,965 in research and development expenses, which were partially offset by the $658 increase in interest and other financial expenses and the increase of $345 in loss on equity accounted investment.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

All monetary amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified.

 

Liquidity

 

Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with no recurring revenues, and its ongoing operations and commercialization plans have been financed primarily by raising equity and debt. The Company has recurring net losses, negative cash flow from operating activities since its inception, and has a net capital deficiency. As at August 31, 2025, the Company’s available liquidity was $9,857, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $7,310 and an undrawn amount on a senior loan facility from a Canadian bank of $2,547.

 

Management continuously monitors the Company's cash resources against its cash commitments to determine whether there is sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. In preparing its going concern assessment in accordance with US GAAP, the Company included cash flows that meet the "probable" threshold under ASC 205-40 in its liquidity assessment and has excluded forecasted cash flows that lack substantive support or binding commitments. Based on this assessment, management has determined that current available liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations, commitments and budgeted operating expenditures for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company's ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and participate in the construction of manufacturing facilities through joint ventures is dependent on, among other factors, whether the Company can obtain the necessary funding through a combination of further technology licensing and engineering services arrangements, government incentive programs, and/or the issuance of debt and/or equity. Management is pursuing options to secure financing for Loop's equity contribution for the India JV and to cover ongoing cash requirements through to the start of commercial operations in India. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting additional funding. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Inability to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or to obtain such financing at all when required, would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and on its ability to execute its business plan.

 

Sale and issuance of Series B CPS

 

On December 23, 2024 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company issued and sold 1,044,430 shares of Series B CPS at $10.00 per share to Reed Circular Economy (the “Holder”), an affiliate of Reed Societe Generale Group, for cash proceeds of $10,395 (€10,000). The main features of the Series B CPS are as follows:

 

 

Automatic conversion of the stated value ($10,395 on the Issuance Date) on the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $4.75 per share;

 

Accrues a cumulative fixed annual PIK dividend at a rate of 13% of the stated value, which is added to the stated value of the Series B CPS on September 30 of each year;

 

Redeemable in cash at any time, starting after the third anniversary of the Issuance Date by the Company (issuer call option);

 

Redeemable in cash on the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date at the option of the Holder (put feature); and

 

Voting rights equal to the number of whole shares of the Company's common stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) into which the stated value of Series B CPS would be convertible on a given date; and separate class voting rights on certain matters such as amendments to the Certificate of Designation or Articles of Incorporation that adversely affect the rights of the Series B CPS, as long as at least 50,000 shares of Series B CPS are outstanding.

 

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation, which was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 26, 2025.

 

Investissement Québec financing facility

 

We have a long-term debt obligation to Investissement Québec in connection with a financing facility (the “Financing Facility”) for the expansion of the Terrebonne Facility up to a maximum of $3,347. We received the first disbursement in the amount of $1,608 on February 21, 2020 and the second disbursement in the amount of $1,740 on August 26, 2021. The loan can be repaid at any time by us without penalty. The loan's interest rate was initially set at 2.36% and there was a 36-month moratorium on both capital and interest repayments as of the first disbursement date. Under the original terms of the Financing Facility, at the end of the 36-month moratorium, capital and interest was repayable in 84 monthly installments. There is no remaining amount available under the Financing Facility after the second disbursement.

 

On November 21, 2022, the Company and Investissement Québec entered into an agreement to amend the existing Financing Facility which modifies the repayments of the principal amount (the “Financing Facility Amendment”). As per the Financing Facility Amendment, a total of $36 of the principal amount was repayable in monthly installments in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2024, with the remainder of the principal amount being repayable in 72 monthly installments.

 

On February 28, 2024, the Company and Investissement Québec entered into an agreement to amend the existing Financing Facility which modifies the repayments of the principal amount (the “Second Financing Facility Amendment”). As per the Second Financing Facility Amendment, a total of $73 of the principal amount was repayable in monthly installments in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, with the remainder of the principal amount being repayable in 60 monthly installments. Pursuant to the Second Financing Facility Amendment the interest rate of the Financing Facility was increased from 2.36% to 3.36%.

 

On February 5, 2025, the Company and Investissement Québec entered into an agreement to amend the existing Financing Facility which modifies the repayments of the principal amount (the “Third Financing Facility Amendment”). As per the Third Financing Facility Amendment, total annual principal repayments in monthly installments are of $301 for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026 and $519 for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027, with the remainder of the principal amount being repayable in 36 monthly installments. Pursuant to the Third Financing Facility Amendment the interest rate of the Financing Facility was increased from 3.36% to 4.36%.

 

Under the original terms of the Financing Facility, the principal amount was repayable in 84 monthly installments beginning in March of 2023. The amendments do not modify the repayment terms of accrued interest or any of the other terms of the Financing Facility that are not mentioned above. The amendments did not meet the criteria of ASC 470, Debt for an extinguishment of debt as the amendments did not substantially modify the terms of the Financing Facility. The Company therefore applied modification accounting and no immediate gain or loss was recognized related to the amendments.

 

Credit facility from a Canadian bank

 

On July 26, 2022, Loop Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Operating Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a Canadian bank. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $2,547 in aggregate principal amount. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's Terrebonne, Québec property and is subject to a minimum equity covenant, tested quarterly with which the Company was in compliance as at August 31, 2025. All borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the bank's Canadian prime rate plus 1.0%. As at August 31, 2025, the $2,547 Credit Facility was available and undrawn.

 

On July 4, 2025, the Borrower, the Company and the Canadian bank executed an amendment to the Credit Facility, modifying the minimum equity covenant to include the balance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as at February 28, 2025 of $10,647 in the calculation of stockholders' equity.

 

On October 10, 2025, the Borrower, the Company and the Canadian bank executed an amendment to the Credit Facility, which removed the minimum equity covenant tested quarterly for the duration of the term of the Credit Facility.

 

At-the-Market Offering

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 116,358 shares of its common stock pursuant to its ATM Equity Offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $193. After deducting sales agent commissions and other offering expenses totaling approximately $6, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $187 from such sales. The shares were sold at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, with an average selling price of $1.66 per share. The net proceeds from these equity transactions were used for general corporate purposes and to strengthen the Company's working capital position. The Company may, from time to time, continue to utilize its ATM Equity Offering program to raise additional capital, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital needs, though there can be no assurance as to if or when any additional sales may occur under the program.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management's Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

A. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2025.

 

B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

SEC Investigation

 

As previously disclosed, we received a subpoena from the SEC in October 2020 requesting certain information from us, including information regarding testing, testing results and details of results from our GEN I and GEN II technologies, and certain of our partnerships and agreements. In March 2022, we received a second subpoena requesting additional information, including information concerning our reverse-merger in 2015, and communications with certain individuals and entities. There have been no additional information requests from the SEC relating to the Company's business or technology.

 

The SEC informed us that its investigation does not mean that the SEC has concluded that anyone has violated the law and that the investigation does not mean that the SEC has a negative opinion of us. We cannot predict when this matter will be resolved or what, if any, action the SEC may take following the conclusion of the investigation.

 

On September 30, 2022, the SEC filed a complaint (the “SEC complaint”) against several named defendants (“Defendants”), and also identified as a relief defendant Daniel Solomita, our Chief Executive Officer. The SEC complaint does not allege wrongdoing by the Company or Mr. Solomita. The SEC complaint identifies Mr. Solomita and an entity he owns as relief defendants because they purportedly received monies from the Defendants in 2015 that the SEC alleges were derived from the Defendants' fraud. The SEC complaint does not allege that Mr. Solomita was aware of the alleged wrongdoing by the Defendants and does not allege that he was aware that any alleged monies received were derived from fraud.

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings or investigations which arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted above, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims that are pending against us or involve us that, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

It is possible that we may expend financial and managerial resources in the defense of our intellectual property rights in the future if we believe that our rights have been violated. It is also possible that we may expend financial and managerial resources to defend against claims that our products and services infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. Risk factors relating to us are set forth under “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report. No material changes to such risk factors have occurred during the three months ended August 31, 2025. An additional risk factor is included below in connection with the recent launch of our ATM Equity Offering.

 

The sale or issuance of our common stock in an at-the-market offering, pursuant to an At the Market Offering Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

 

On July 3, 2025, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Sales Agent”), under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15 million from time to time through or to the Sales Agent, acting as our sales agent or principal

 

Under the Sales Agreement, we will set the parameters for the sale of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell the shares by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through The Nasdaq Global Market, the existing trading market for the Company's common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to the Sales Agent as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law. The Sales Agreement provides that the Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation for its services in an amount equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares sold under the Sales Agreement.

 

Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of shares under the Sales Agreement may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall. Additionally, further sales of our common stock, if any, under the Sales Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We ultimately may sell all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement and, after such shares have been sold, the purchasers may sell all, some or none of those shares. Therefore, sales under the Sales Agreement could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.

Amendment #2 to the

Credit Agreement

dated June 30th, 2022 (including all previous amendments thereto, the “Agreement”)

between Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) and Loop Canada Inc. (the “Borrower”)

 

Amendments. The Agreement is amended as follows:
 

The Section entitled “Description and rate” under Operating Credit is amended by deleting the section providing for Canadian dollar B/As in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

Canadian dollar Term CORRA Loans. Interest on Term CORRA Loans will be calculated at the Term CORRA Rate for each applicable CORRA Period plus 2.90% per annum.

 

The Section entitled “Repayment” under Operating Credit is replaced with the following:

 

This Credit will terminate on the day that is 364 days after the date of this letter, and all amounts under this Credit are repayable on demand at such time. CIBC may in its sole discretion, upon written request by the Borrower given to CIBC not later than 60 days prior to the termination date of this Credit then in effect, extend such termination date for a period of 364 days from the date of such extension.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that an Event of Default is continuing all amounts under this Credit are repayable immediately on demand by CIBC and this Credit may be terminated in whole or in part by CIBC.

 

The Borrower shall have the option to repay any amount under this Credit at any time; provided that Term CORRA Loans and Term SOFR Loans may be repaid only at the end of a CORRA Period or SOFR Period, as the case may

be.

Under Financial Covenants:

The convertible preferred shared instrument in the amount of US $10,647 is to be included in the equity covenant calculation.

 

As part of the Lender’s transition to CORRA, Schedule “A” (Additional Definitions and Provisions) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the attached Schedule “A” (Additional Definitions and Provisions).

 

 

 

 

 

Confirmation: As revised by this Amendment, the Agreement remains in full force.

It is the express wish of the parties that this document and any related documents be drawn up in English. Les parties aux présentes ont expressément demandé que ce document et tous les documents s’y rattachant soient rédigés en anglais.

SCHEDULE A – ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS

 

 

1.

General

 

 

1.1.

Use of funds, returns. The Borrower will use the Credits only for the purposes specified in this Agreement. The Borrower may not at any time exceed the limit of any Credit, and CIBC may, without notice to the Borrower, return any item that, if paid, would result in the limit of any Credit being exceeded. If, on the other hand, CIBC in its sole discretion elects to pay any such item, the Borrower will pay to CIBC immediately the amount by which the limit of the applicable Credit has been exceeded.

   

 

 

1.2.

Notice of failure. The Borrower will promptly notify CIBC of the occurrence of any failure to perform or observe any of its covenants in this Agreement.

   

 

 

1.3.

Confidentiality. The terms of this Agreement are confidential between the Borrower and CIBC, and accordingly the Borrower will not disclose the contents of this Agreement to anyone except its professional advisors. CIBC is nevertheless authorized to disclose information on the Borrower to its guarantor(s).

   

 

 

1.4.

Applying money received. At any time that the Borrower has failed (beyond any period of grace permitted by CIBC) to perform or observe of any of its covenants in this Agreement, all moneys received by CIBC from the Borrower or from any Security may be applied on such parts of the Borrower’s liabilities to CIBC as CIBC may determine.

   

 

 

1.5.

Right of set off. At any time that the Borrower has failed (beyond any period of grace permitted by CIBC) to perform or observe any of its covenants in this Agreement, CIBC is authorized at any time to set off and apply any deposits held by it and any other amounts owed by it to or for the credit of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Credits, irrespective of whether or not CIBC has made any demand and even though any such obligations may not yet be due and payable.

   

 

 

1.6.

Registration of security. Security will be registered or filed in all jurisdictions and in all offices as CIBC considers necessary or advisable from time to time to create, perfect or protect any Lien created thereby.

   

 

 

1.7.

Expenses. The Borrower will reimburse CIBC for all fees and out of pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of CIBC’s solicitors and of any other experts and advisors hired by CIBC) incurred in preparing, registering and renewing any Security, in responding to requests from the Borrower for waivers, amendments and other matters, in enforcing CIBC’s rights under this Agreement or any Security, and in discharging any Security.

   

 

 

1.8.

Further information requirements. The Borrower will provide such further information about its business and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by CIBC from time to time, and such information shall be in a form acceptable to CIBC.

   

 

 

1.9.

Consent to release information. CIBC may from time to time give any credit or other information about the Borrower to, or receive such information from, (i) any financial institution, credit reporting agency, rating agency or credit bureau, (ii) any person, firm or corporation with whom the Borrower may have or proposes to have financial dealings, and (iii) any person, firm or corporation (including any guarantor, if applicable) in connection with any dealings the Borrower has or proposes to have with CIBC and CIBC may obtain such information from them. The Borrower agrees that CIBC may use that information to establish and maintain the Borrower’s relationship with CIBC and to offer any services as permitted by law, including services and products offered by CIBC’s Subsidiaries when it is considered that this may be suitable to the Borrower.

   

 

 

1.10.

Instructions by fax, phone and e-mail. The Borrower may deliver, and CIBC may accept, instructions by fax, telephone (including cellular phone) and internet e-mail (“Electronic Communication”), according to CIBC-approved procedures, which procedures may be limited to particular types of communications or services. Unless the Borrower expressly indicates otherwise, the Borrower agrees that CIBC may also communicate with the Borrower by e-mail or fax. This may include (i) CIBC sending confidential information to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s request; or (ii) the Borrower sending confidential information to CIBC. An Electronic Communication may not be a secure means of communication and the Borrower assumes responsibility for the risks of using Electronic Communications including, without limitation, the possibility that an Electronic Communication is: intercepted by or sent to an unauthorized person, misunderstood, lost, delayed, or not received by CIBC at all. CIBC is entitled to rely upon any Electronic Communication from or purporting to be from the Borrower, as if such instructions were given in writing. However, CIBC may choose not to act upon an Electronic Communication if it believes that the Electronic Communication is unauthorized, incorrect or unclear. CIBC shall not be liable for, and the Borrower will indemnify and save CIBC harmless from, any claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses that CIBC incurs (other than those due to CIBC’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) including among other things all legal fees and expenses, arising from CIBC acting or declining to act on any of your Electronic Communications given under this Agreement. This indemnity is in addition to any other indemnity or assurance against loss provided by you to CIBC under this Agreement or otherwise.

   

 

 

1.11.

Further assurances. The Borrower will from time to time promptly upon request by CIBC do and execute all such acts and documents as may be reasonably required by CIBC to give effect to the Credits and the Security, and to any transfer pursuant to section 1.15 of this Schedule.

   

 

 

1.12.

Insurance. The Borrower will keep all its assets and property insured (to the full insurable value) against loss or damage by fire and all other risks usual for similar property and for any other risks CIBC may reasonably require. If CIBC requests, these policies will include a loss payable clause (and with respect to mortgage security, a mortgagee clause) in favour of CIBC. As further security, the Borrower assigns or hypothecates, as the case may be, for an amount equivalent to the total limit of Credits, with interest applicable at the highest rate of interest agreed, all insurance proceeds to CIBC. The Borrower will provide to CIBC either the policies themselves or adequate evidence of their existence. If any insurance coverage for any reason stops, CIBC may (but shall have no obligation to) insure the property. Finally, the Borrower will notify CIBC immediately of any loss or damage to any of its property.

 

Page 3 of 21

 

 

1.13.

Environmental. The Borrower will carry on its business, and maintain its assets and property in accordance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. If there is any release, deposit, discharge or disposal of pollutants of any sort (collectively, a "Discharge") in connection with either the Borrower's business or its property and CIBC pays any fines or for any clean-up or suffers any loss or damage as a result of the Discharge, the Borrower will reimburse CIBC, its directors, officers, employees and agents for any and all losses, damages, fines, costs and other amounts (including amounts spent preparing any necessary environmental assessment or other reports, or defending any lawsuits) that result. If CIBC asks, the Borrower will defend any lawsuits, investigations or prosecutions brought against CIBC or any of its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with any Discharge. The Borrower's obligation under this section continues even after all Credits have been repaid and this Agreement has terminated.

     
 

1.14.

Waiver. No delay on the part of CIBC in exercising any right or privilege will operate as a waiver thereof, and no waiver of any failure or default will operate as a waiver thereof unless made in writing and signed by an authorized officer of CIBC, or will be applicable to any other failure or default.

     
 

1.15.

Assignment. CIBC may assign, sell or participate (herein referred to as a “transfer”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under all or any of the Credits to any third party, and the Borrower agrees to sign any documents and take any actions that CIBC may reasonably require in connection with any such transfer. Upon completion of the transfer, the third party will have the same rights and obligations under this Agreement as if it were a party to it, with respect to all rights and obligations included in the transfer. The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under any of the Credits. The Borrower agrees that CIBC may disclose any information (including, without limitation, any personal information) relating to such Credits (including any personal guarantee) to such third party, or its agents, any assignee of such third party, any service provider (as defined below), or any prospective assignee, purchaser or participant. Personal information includes all information provided by a principal of the Borrower or a guarantor of the Borrower’s debt or other information obtained by CIBC in connection with the Borrower’s credit application and/or the Agreement, and any ongoing information and documentation about the Borrower, any guarantor of the Borrower’s debt, or the Credits, to the extent required by the third party, its agent or assignee, or any service provider, to enable such person to administer the Credits and exercise its rights thereunder. “Service Provider” means a person or entity that has been engaged in connection with the servicing, maintenance, collection or operation of the Credits or the provision of services or benefits to the Borrower and/or any guarantor of the Borrower’s debt (including loyalty programs). The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under any of the Credits.

     
 

1.16.

Application to Subsidiaries. The Borrower will ensure that each of its Subsidiaries complies with sections 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13 of this Schedule, as if the references to the Borrower therein were references to each such Subsidiary.

     
 

1.17.

Governing law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Quebec, and the Borrower submits itself to the jurisdiction of any competent federal or provincial court in such jurisdiction.

     
 

1.18.

Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment to this Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and may be delivered by facsimile, .pdf or other similar electronic transmission, and all of such counterparts shall constitute originals and the same agreement. The words “executed”, “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in this Agreement and the other loan documents, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent permitted under, and as provided for in, any applicable law.

     
 

1.19.

Certain definitions. In this Agreement the following terms have the following meanings: “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under direct or indirect common control with, such person, and includes any person in like relation to an Affiliate.

If there is outstanding any amount or amounts exceeding an aggregate of $3,500,000 (or the equivalent amount in any other currency) which any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has failed to pay when due and payable, or if any amount or amounts exceeding an aggregate of $3,500,000 (or the equivalent amount in any other currency) may then be declared to be due and payable by any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries prior to the stated maturity date thereof or prior to the regularly scheduled date for payment thereof;

 

 

vii.

If it is or will become unlawful for any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to perform or comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Security, or if any obligation of any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under this Agreement or the Security ceases to be its legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation, or if the enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Security is disputed by any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or if any of the Security ceases to constitute a Lien of the nature and priority contemplated by this Agreement;

xi.

If there exists for any period of three consecutive Business Days one or more non appealable judgements of a court of competent jurisdiction against any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for an aggregate amount exceeding $• (or the equivalent amount in any other currency) which has not been satisfied in full (exclusive of any amount adequately covered by insurance as to which the insurer has acknowledged coverage);

 

 

xii.

if in the reasonable opinion of CIBC there has occurred any event which has had a Material Adverse Effect; or

 

 

xiii.

if in the reasonable opinion of CIBC there is any change in the effective control of the Borrower.

2.

Interest rates; payments; calculations

 

 

2.1.

Interest Rates. Interest is payable with respect to:

 

 

i.

excess amounts (provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to imply that the Borrower is entitled to obtain any such excess amount, or that the limit of a Credit is to be increased in any circumstance) above the limit of a Credit or a part of a Credit, as described in section 2.4 of this Schedule,

 

 

ii.

amounts that are not paid when due, at the Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses, and

 

 

iii.

any other amounts, at the rate specified in this Agreement.

 

 

2.2.

Variable interest. Each variable interest rate provided for in this Agreement will change automatically, without notice, whenever the Prime Rate, the US Base Rate, applicable Bankers Acceptance Yield, applicable CORRA Rate, or applicable SOFR Rate, as the case may be, changes.

   

 

 

2.3.

Payment of interest. Interest is calculated on the applicable balance at the end of each day. Interest is payable in arrears once a month on the day required by CIBC, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.

   

 

 

2.4.

Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses. To determine whether the Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses is to be charged, the following rules apply:

 

 

a.

The Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses will be charged on the amount that exceeds the limit of any particular Credit.

 

 

b.

If there are several parts of a Credit, the Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses will be charged if the limit of a particular part is exceeded. For example, if Credit A’s limit is $250,000, and the limit of one part of Credit A is $100,000 and the limit of that part is exceeded by $25,000, the Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses will be charged on that $25,000 excess, even if the total amount outstanding under Credit A is less than $250,000

 

 

c.

To determine if the limit of a Credit has been exceeded, any amounts in a currency other than the currency in which the limit is designated will be converted into that currency, as described in section 2.11 of this Schedule.

 

 

2.5.

Interest on Overdue Amounts. Except as otherwise specified herein, if any principal is not paid when due, such overdue principal will bear interest (as well after as before judgement), payable on demand, at the interest rate applicable to such principal prior to default, and interest will be payable on overdue interest (as well after as before judgement) at the same rate as is applicable to the related principal. If any amount is not paid by the Borrower when due and there is no interest otherwise applicable to such amount specified herein, such overdue amount will bear interest (as well after as before judgement), payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Prime Rate plus 5% (in the case of any such amount payable in Canadian dollars) or the US Base Rate plus 5% (in the case of any such amount payable in US dollars) from the date of non payment until paid in full.

   

 

 

2.6.

Reductions of Limit of Credits. On or prior to each date on which the limit of any Credit is reduced, the Borrower will repay such outstanding amounts thereunder, if any, as are necessary so that, after giving effect to the repayment, the total of all amounts outstanding under such Credit does not exceed the limit as so reduced.

   

 

 

2.7.

Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Schedule “A”, if any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment will be due on the next Business Day.

   

 

 

2.8.

CIBC’s pricing policy. The fees, interest rates and other charges for the Borrower’s banking arrangements with CIBC are dependent upon each other. Accordingly, if the Borrower cancels or does not follow through with, in the manner originally contemplated, any of these arrangements, CIBC reserves the right to require payment by the Borrower of increased or added fees, interest rates and charges as a condition of the continuation of the Borrower’s banking arrangements.

 

Page 7 of 21

 

 

2.9.

Calculations. The following terms apply to all calculations under the Credits:

 

 

a.

CDOR, Federal Funds Rate, Bankers’ Acceptance Yield, any CORRA Rate, any SOFR Rate, Prime Rate and US Base Rate shall be determined by CIBC if and whenever such determination is required for the purpose of this Agreement, and such determination by CIBC shall be conclusive evidence of such rate.

 

 

b.

Except as provided in the next sentence, all interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365. Interest on each SOFR Loan shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 360. Any such applicable interest rate, expressed as an annual rate of interest for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), shall be equivalent to such applicable interest rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be determined and divided by 365 or 360, as the case may be.

 

 

c.

In calculating interest or fees payable hereunder for any period, unless otherwise specifically stated, the first day of such period shall be included and the last day of such period shall be excluded.

 

 

2.10.

CIBC’s Records. CIBC’s loan accounting records will provide conclusive evidence of all terms and conditions of the Credits such as principal loan balances, interest calculations, and payment dates.

   

 

 

2.11.

Foreign Currency Conversion. If it is necessary for any purpose relating to the Credits that an amount denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars be expressed in or equated to an amount of Canadian dollars (such as, for example, to determine whether amounts denominated in US dollars that are outstanding under a Credit which has a limit specified in Canadian dollars exceed the limit of such Credit so as to make applicable the Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses), the applicable amount of Canadian dollars shall be determined by CIBC in accordance with its normal practice.

   

 

 

2.12.

Deemed Re Investment Principle. For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) and any other purpose, the principle of deemed re-investment of interest is not applicable to any calculation under this Agreement, and the rates of interest and fees specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

   

 

 

2.13.

Certain Definitions. If and whenever required for the purpose of this Agreement, the following terms have the following definitions:

   

 

   

“CDOR” means, for any day, the average of the annual discount rates for bankers’ acceptances denominated in Canadian dollars of certain banks named in Schedule 1 to the Bank Act (Canada) for a specified term and face amount that appears on the CDOR page of the Reuters Screen as of 10:00 a.m. on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, as of 10:00 a.m. on the next preceding Business Day).

 

“Federal Funds Rate” means, for any day, an annual interest rate equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight United States federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by United States federal funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if such day is not a business day in New York, for the next preceding business day in New York) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or for any such business day on which such rate is not so published, the arithmetic average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by CIBC from three United States federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it.

 

“Interest Rate Applicable to Credit Limit Excesses” means the annual interest rate generally established by CIBC from time to time for the purpose of calculating interest on overdrafts in accounts maintained with CIBC in Canada.

 

“Prime Rate” means a fluctuating annual interest rate equal at all times to the greater of (i) the reference rate of interest (however designated) of CIBC for determining interest chargeable by it on loans in Canadian dollars made in Canada and (ii) 1.05% per annum above the Term CORRA Rate for a CORRA Period of one (1) month from time to time.

 

“Prime Loan” means a loan with respect to which interest is calculated under this Agreement for the time being by reference to the Prime Rate.

 

“US Base Rate” means a fluctuating annual interest rate equal at all times to the greater of (i) the reference rate of interest (however designated) of CIBC for determining interest chargeable by it on loans in US dollars made in Canada, and (ii) 3/4 of 1% per annum above the Federal Funds Rate from time to time.

 

 

3.

Notice of borrowing; notice of repayment; overdrafts

 

 

3.1.

Notice of Borrowing. Whenever the Borrower desires to obtain any amount under a Credit (other than a loan by way of a permitted overdraft), it will give to CIBC irrevocable prior written notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) specifying the Credit under which such amount is to be obtained and the particulars of such amount including the term of any Bankers’ Acceptances, the term of any CORRA Period or SOFR Period, the particulars of all maturing Bankers’ Acceptances in the case of a rollover or conversion of Bankers’ Acceptances, and the Business Day on which such amount is to be obtained. No amount shall be obtained if the term thereof or any CORRA Period or SOFR Period applicable thereto would mature beyond any scheduled repayment or reduction date for the applicable Credit and all or any part of such amount will be required to be repaid on such date. The amount to be obtained under any Credit at any time shall not exceed the undisbursed amount of that Credit at such time. CIBC will not be obliged to make available at any time SOFR Loans in an aggregate amount less than US $1,000,000 or CORRA Loans in an aggregate amount less than $500,000. A notice requesting any loan in an amount exceeding $10,000,000 (other than a CORRA Loan) or US $10,000,000 (other than a SOFR Loan) must be given not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the applicable borrowing date; a notice requesting any Bankers’ Acceptances in an amount exceeding $10,000,000 must be given not later than 10:00 a.m. on the second Business Day preceding the applicable borrowing date; a notice requesting any Term CORRA Loan of any amount must be given not later than 10:00 am on the third Business Day preceding the applicable borrowing date; a notice requesting any Daily Compounded CORRA Loan of any amount must be given not later than 10:00 am on the second Business Day preceding the applicable borrowing date; and a notice requesting any SOFR Loan of any amount must be given not later than 10:00 a.m. on the third Business Day preceding the applicable borrowing date.

Notice of Repayment. Whenever the Borrower desires to make any repayment or repayments under one or more of the Credits in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000 (or an equivalent amount in any other currency) on any day, it will give to CIBC irrevocable written notice specifying the particulars of such repayment not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the applicable repayment date.

   

 

 

3.3.

Overdrafts. If the Borrower is entitled under any Credit to obtain loans in Canadian dollars or US dollars by way of overdraft, the debit balance in the Borrower’s applicable Operating Account from time to time will be deemed to be a loan in Canadian dollars or US dollars, as the case may be, outstanding to the Borrower under such Credit and bearing interest as set out in this Agreement for loans in such currency under such Credit. If at any time the Borrower is a party to a cash concentration arrangement with CIBC, the amount of any overdraft from time to time in the Canadian dollar or US dollar concentration account of the Borrower established pursuant to such arrangement will also be deemed to be a loan in Canadian dollars or US dollars, as applicable, outstanding to the Borrower under the applicable Credit and bearing interest as set out above on the basis of the Prime Rate or the US Base Rate, as the case may be.

 

 

4.

Indemnities and Illegality

 

 

4.1.

Reserve Indemnity. If subsequent to the date of this Agreement any change in or introduction of any applicable law, or compliance by CIBC with any request or directive by any central bank, superintendent of financial institutions or other comparable authority, shall subject CIBC to any tax with respect to the Credits or change the basis of taxation of payments to CIBC of any amount payable under the Credits (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of CIBC), or impose any capital maintenance or capital adequacy requirement, reserve requirement or similar requirement with respect to the Credits, or impose on CIBC, any other condition or restriction, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to CIBC of making or maintaining the Credits or any amount thereunder or to reduce any amount otherwise received by CIBC under the Credits, CIBC will promptly notify the Borrower of such event and the Borrower will pay to CIBC such additional amount calculated by CIBC as is necessary to compensate CIBC for such additional cost or reduced amount received. A certificate of CIBC as to any such additional amount payable to it and containing reasonable details of the calculation thereof shall be conclusive evidence thereof.

   

 

 

4.2.

Currency Indemnity. Interest and fees hereunder shall be payable in the same currency as the principal to which they relate. Any payment on account of an amount payable in a particular currency (the “proper currency”) made to or for the account of CIBC in a currency (the “other currency”) other than the proper currency, whether pursuant to a judgement or order of any court or tribunal or otherwise and whether arising from the conversion of any amount denominated in one currency into another currency for any purpose, shall constitute a discharge of the Borrower’s obligation only to the extent of the amount of the proper currency which CIBC is able, in the normal course of its business within one Business Day after receipt by it of such payment, to purchase with the amount of the other currency so received. If the amount of the proper currency which CIBC is able to purchase is less than the amount of the proper currency due to CIBC, the Borrower shall indemnify and save CIBC harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency.

   

 

 

4.3.

Tax Indemnity. All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of CIBC or franchise taxes, taxes on doing business or taxes measured by the capital or net worth of CIBC (collectively “Excluded Taxes”), now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any country or any political subdivision thereof (collectively “Taxes”); provided, however, that if any Taxes are required to be withheld from any interest or other amount payable to the CIBC hereunder, the amount so payable to the CIBC shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to CIBC, on a net basis after payment of all Taxes and after payment of all Excluded Taxes imposed by any relevant jurisdiction on any additional amounts payable under this section, interest or any such other amount payable hereunder at the rate or in the amount specified in this Agreement. The Borrower shall be fully liable and responsible for and shall, promptly following receipt of a request from CIBC, pay to CIBC any and all sales, goods and services taxes payable under the laws of Canada or any political subdivision thereof with respect to any and all goods and services made available hereunder to the Borrower by CIBC, and such taxes shall be included in the definition of “Taxes” for all purposes hereof. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter it shall send to CIBC, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due or fails to remit to CIBC as aforesaid the required documentary evidence thereof, the Borrower shall indemnify and save harmless CIBC from any incremental taxes, interest, penalties or other liabilities that may become payable by CIBC or to which CIBC may be subjected as a result of any such failure. A certificate of CIBC as to the amount of any such taxes, interest or penalties and containing reasonable details of the calculation thereof shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

   

 

 

4.4.

Default Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify and save harmless CIBC from all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses, including any loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by CIBC to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain any amount under the Credits and any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or re employing deposits from which such funds were obtained, which may be incurred by CIBC as a consequence of (i) default by the Borrower in the payment when due of any amount hereunder or the occurrence of any other default relative to any of the Credits, (ii) default by the Borrower in obtaining any amount after the Borrower has given notice hereunder that it desires to obtain such amount, (iii) default by the Borrower in making any optional repayment of any amount after the Borrower has given notice hereunder that it desires to make such repayment, or (iv) the repayment by the Borrower of any CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan otherwise than on the expiration of any applicable CORRA Period, SOFR Period, interest payment date or maturity or final payment date, as the case may be, or the repayment of any loan on which interest is payable at a fixed annual rate otherwise than on the expiration of the fixed interest rate period applicable thereto, or the repayment of any other amount otherwise than on any specified maturity date thereof. A certificate of CIBC as to any such loss or expense and containing reasonable details of the calculation thereof shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

     
 

4.5.

Material Change in Financial Markets. If any material change has occurred, or would reasonably be expected to occur, in the financial, banking or capital markets generally in Canada (as determined by CIBC in good faith in its discretion) and the effect of which is to (or would reasonably be expected to) reduce the rate of return on CIBC’s capital from, or increase the cost to CIBC of, making or maintaining any Credit or any amount thereunder or reduce any amount otherwise received by CIBC under any Credit, then CIBC will promptly notify the Borrower of such event or circumstances and the Borrower will pay to CIBC such additional amount calculated by CIBC as is necessary to compensate CIBC for such reduction in rate of return, additional cost or reduced amount received. A certificate of CIBC as to any such additional amount payable to it and containing reasonable details of the calculation thereof shall be conclusive evidence thereof.

 

Page 9 of 21

 

 

4.6.

Illegality. If CIBC determines that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any domestic or foreign court or government or governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for CIBC or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any applicable CORRA Rate or SOFR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any applicable CORRA Rate or SOFR Rate, then, upon written notice thereof by CIBC to the Borrower, (a) any obligation of CIBC to make or maintain the affected CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans, as the case may be, and any right of the Borrower to borrow or continue the affected CORRA Loans, or SOFR Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended, and (b) unless otherwise specified in the notice to the Borrower, the interest on each affected CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan, as the case may be, shall forthwith cease to be calculated on the basis of the applicable CORRA Rate or SOFR Rate, as the case may be, and shall commence to be calculated (i) in the case of an affected CORRA Loan, on the basis of the Prime Rate (or, if the affected CORRA Rate is a term CORRA Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily CORRA Rate) or (ii) in the case of an affected SOFR Loan, on the basis of the US Base Rate (or if the affected SOFR Rate is a term SOFR Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily SOFR Rate). The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain any affected CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan, as the case may be, from, or maintain any existing affected CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan, as the case may be, with, CIBC so long as any such condition shall continue to exist, and any Loan that would otherwise have been made or maintained (x) in the case of an affected CORRA Loan, shall instead be made or maintained as a Loan in Canadian Dollars bearing interest on the basis of the Prime Rate (or, if the affected CORRA Rate is a term CORRA Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily CORRA Rate) or (y) in the case of an affected SOFR Loan, shall instead be made or maintained as a Loan in US Dollars bearing interest on the basis of the US Base Rate (or if the affected SOFR Rate is a term SOFR Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily SOFR Rate). Upon any such conversion of an affected CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 11.3 or 13.3 of this Schedule.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

 

a.

If CIBC has not received due notice of renewal of the CORRA Period for any outstanding Term CORRA Loan in accordance with the first sentence of this section, such Term CORRA Loan will be automatically converted on the expiry of such existing CORRA Period to a further Term CORRA Loan with a CORRA Period of the same tenor, or at the discretion of CIBC converted on the expiry of such existing CORRA Period to a Daily Compounded CORRA Loan or a Loan bearing interest on the basis of the Prime Rate and notice of which is given to the Borrower;

Page 14 of 21

 

 

9.2.

Calculations and Interest Payment Dates. The following terms apply to all CORRA Loan calculations:

 

 

a.

The applicable CORRA Rate shall be determined by CIBC if and whenever such determination is required for the purpose of this Agreement, and such determination by CIBC shall be conclusive evidence of such rate. Each change in the applicable CORRA Rate shall apply automatically to change the applicable interest rate without notice to the Borrower.

 

 

b.

Interest on each CORRA Loan shall be computed on a daily basis upon the outstanding principal amount of such CORRA Loan as of the applicable date of determination for the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365.

 

 

c.

Interest on each Term CORRA Loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each CORRA Period applicable thereto.

 

 

d.

Interest on each Daily Compounded CORRA Loan is payable in arrears once a month (or such other period as may be agreed between the Borrower and CIBC) on the day required by CIBC, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement; provided that if any such date would be a day other than a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such date shall be the next preceding Business Day.

 

 

9.3.

Prepayment. The Borrower shall provide to CIBC at least five (5) days prior written notice of any prepayment of a CORRA Loan and shall pay to CIBC all breakage costs suffered or incurred by CIBC if any Term CORRA Loan is repaid on a date other than the last day of its then current CORRA Period or if any Daily Compounded CORRA Loan is repaid on a date other than its interest payment date or maturity or final payment date, in each case as determined and calculated by CIBC in accordance with its customary practice.

   

 

 

9.4.

Default. If, at any time there exists any failure by the Borrower (beyond any period of grace permitted by CIBC) to perform or observe any of its covenants in this Agreement, then, at the option of CIBC, (a) the Borrower will not be entitled to borrow any further CORRA Loans and all outstanding Notices of Borrowing for any CORRA Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Loan in Canadian dollars in the same amount bearing interest on the basis of the Prime Rate, (b) in the case of all then outstanding Term CORRA Loans, on the last day of their respective then current CORRA Periods, the interest thereon shall cease to be calculated hereunder on the basis of the applicable CORRA Rate, and shall commence to be calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, and (c) in the case of all then outstanding Daily Compounded CORRA Loans, on their immediately following interest payment date the interest thereon shall cease to be calculated on the basis of the applicable CORRA Rate and shall commence to be calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate.

   

 

 

9.5.

Failure of CORRA. If at any time:

 

 

a.

CIBC determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) for any reason that CORRA or any applicable CORRA Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

 

 

b.

CIBC determines for any reason (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that CORRA or any applicable CORRA Rate with respect to a CORRA Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to CIBC of funding or maintaining such CORRA Loan; or

 

 

c.

A Canadian Benchmark Transition Event has occurred and a Canadian Replacement Benchmark has not yet been chosen and implemented by CIBC in accordance with Section 9.6 below, then CIBC shall be entitled to give notice thereof (by telephone to be confirmed the same day in writing or by Electronic Communication) to the Borrower. On the effective date of such notice, or in the case of any affected Term CORRA Loan, on the last day of the CORRA Period for such outstanding Term CORRA Loan occurring on or after the effective date of such notice, the interest on such CORRA Loan shall cease to be calculated on the basis of the affected CORRA Rate, and shall commence to be calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate (or, if the affected CORRA Rate is a term CORRA Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily CORRA Rate). Any Notice of Borrowing which has been delivered to CIBC requesting an affected CORRA Loan on a day on or subsequent to such notification date will be deemed to request instead a Loan in Canadian dollars in the same amount bearing interest on the basis of the Prime Rate (or, if the affected CORRA Rate is a term CORRA Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily CORRA Rate). The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain any affected CORRA Loan from CIBC so long as any of the circumstances set out in this Section continue to exist, and any Loan that would otherwise have been made by CIBC as an affected CORRA Loan shall instead be made as a Loan in Canadian Dollars bearing interest on the basis of the Prime Rate (or, if the affected CORRA Rate is a term CORRA Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily CORRA Rate).

 

During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, if the affected CORRA Rate is a term CORRA Rate, then any component of Prime Rate based upon a term CORRA Rate will not be used in any determination of Prime Rate and the floor for Prime Rate will be the Daily Compounded CORRA from time to time plus 1.05% per annum.

 

 

9.6.

Discontinuance of Canadian Benchmark. If at any time, on or prior to the setting of the then current Canadian Benchmark:

 

 

a.

CIBC determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) for any reason that such Canadian Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) (and, in the case of a term rate, all Canadian Available Tenors of such Canadian Benchmark) has ceased or will cease to be available, permanently or indefinitely; or

 

 

b.

CIBC determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) for any reason that such Canadian Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) (and, in the case of a term rate, all Canadian Available Tenors of such Canadian Benchmark) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative, (each a “Canadian Benchmark Transition Event”), then CIBC shall be entitled to give notice thereof (by telephone to be confirmed the same day in writing or by Electronic Communication) to the Borrower.

 

Page 15 of 21

 

If the Canadian Benchmark Transition Event relates to the Term CORRA Reference Rate, then on the last day of the CORRA Period for each outstanding Term CORRA Loan occurring on or after the effective date of such notice, the interest on such Term CORRA Loan shall cease to be calculated on the basis of a term CORRA Rate, and subject to Section 9.5(c), shall commence to

 

be calculated at the option of CIBC (exercised in the notice of the occurrence of a Canadian Benchmark Transition Event or by further notice in writing to the Borrower) either (i) on the basis of a Daily Compounded CORRA Rate plus the margin set out in such notice or the attached letter agreement for Daily Compounded CORRA Loans, as the case may be, or (ii) the sum of: (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by CIBC and the Borrower giving due consideration to (1) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Cdn Governmental Body, or (2) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the affected CORRA Rate, (B) the related Canadian Replacement Benchmark Adjustment and (C) the margin agreed by CIBC and the Borrower (the replacement benchmark rate chosen by CIBC pursuant to the foregoing, the “Canadian Replacement Benchmark”).

 

If the Canadian Benchmark Transition Event relates to any Canadian Benchmark other than the Term CORRA Reference Rate, then on and after the effective date of such notice, the interest on the affected Loans shall cease to be calculated on the basis of such Canadian Benchmark and subject to Section 9.5(c), shall commence to be calculated at a rate equal to the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by CIBC and the Borrower giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Cdn Governmental Body, or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to such Canadian Benchmark, (ii) the related Canadian Replacement Benchmark Adjustment and (iii) the margin agreed by CIBC and the Borrower (the replacement benchmark rate chosen by CIBC pursuant to the foregoing, also, a “Canadian Replacement Benchmark”).

 

If the Canadian Replacement Benchmark would at any time be less than the Canadian Floor, the Canadian Replacement Benchmark will be deemed to be the Canadian Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Any Notice of Borrowing which has been delivered to CIBC requesting an affected Loan on a day on or subsequent to the effective date of such notification will be deemed to request instead a Loan in Canadian dollars in the same amount bearing interest on the basis of the Canadian Replacement Benchmark Rate. The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain any affected Loans from CIBC so long as any of the circumstances set out in this Section continue to exist, and any affected Loan that would otherwise have been made by CIBC shall instead be made as a Loan in Canadian Dollars bearing interest on the basis of the Canadian Replacement Benchmark.

“Canadian Benchmark” means, initially, each of the Term CORRA Reference Rate and Daily Compounded CORRA Rate, as the case may be; provided that if a Canadian Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term CORRA Reference Rate, Daily Compounded CORRA Rate, or the then current Canadian Benchmark, then “Canadian Benchmark” means the applicable Canadian Replacement Benchmark to the extent that such Canadian Replacement Benchmark has replaced such prior benchmark rate. Any reference to “Canadian Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

 

“Canadian Floor” means zero or such other Canadian benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement from time to time or by written notice to the Borrower.

10.

SOFR and SOFR loans

 

 

10.1.

Selection of SOFR Periods for Term SOFR Loans

 

The Borrower shall select the term of each SOFR Period with respect to each Term SOFR Loan made or to be made available to it by telephone notice (to be confirmed the same day in writing) or Electronic Communication received by CIBC not later than 10:00a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the commencement of such SOFR Period. The first SOFR Period for each Term SOFR Loan will commence on (and include) the date of advance of such Term SOFR Loan, and each SOFR Period occurring thereafter for such Term SOFR Loan will commence on (and include) the last day of the immediately preceding SOFR Period for such Term SOFR Loan. In each case, a SOFR Period will end on the day in the last calendar month included therein that numerically corresponds to the first day of such SOFR Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

 

a.

if CIBC has not received due notice of renewal of the SOFR Period with respect to any outstanding Term SOFR Loan in accordance with the first sentence of this section, such Term SOFR Loan will be automatically converted on the expiry of such existing SOFR Period to a further Term SOFR Loan with a SOFR Period of the same tenor, a Daily Simple SOFR Loan or a Loan bearing interest on the basis of the US Base Rate, each case as determined by CIBC in its discretion and notice of which has been given to the Borrower;

 

 

b.

Any SOFR Period that begins on the last Business Day in a calendar month, or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month in which such SOFR Period would otherwise end, will end on the last Business Day in the calendar month in which such SOFR Period would otherwise end;

 

 

c.

If any SOFR Period would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day, such SOFR Period will end on the next Business Day; provided, however, that if such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such SOFR Period will end on the preceding Business Day; and

 

 

d.

all SOFR Periods in effect at any time must end on not more than five different days.

 

 

10.2.

Calculations and Interest Payment Dates. The following terms apply to all SOFR Loan calculations:

 

 

a.

The Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for any SOFR Period or the Daily Simple SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, as the case may be, shall be determined by CIBC if and whenever such determination is required for the purpose of this Agreement, and such determination by CIBC shall be conclusive evidence of such rate. Each change in the applicable SOFR Rate shall apply automatically to change the applicable interest rate without notice to the Borrower.

 

 

b.

Interest on each SOFR Loan shall be computed on a daily basis upon the outstanding principal amount of such SOFR Loan as of the applicable date of determination for the actual number of days elapsed divided by 360.

 

 

c.

Interest on each Term SOFR Loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each SOFR Period applicable thereto and also, with respect to each SOFR Period of a term longer than three months, at the end of each three month period included therein.

 

 

d.

Interest on each Daily Simple SOFR Loan is payable in arrears once a month (or such other period as may be agreed between the Borrower and CIBC) on the day required by CIBC, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement; provided that if any such date would be a day other than a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such date shall be the next preceding Business Day.

 

 

10.3.

Prepayment. The Borrower shall provide to CIBC at least five (5) days prior written notice of any prepayment of a SOFR Loan and shall pay to CIBC all breakage costs suffered or incurred by CIBC if any Term SOFR Loan is repaid on a date other than the last day of its then current SOFR Period or if any Daily Simple SOFR Loan is repaid on a date other than its interest payment date or maturity or final payment date, in each case as determined and calculated by CIBC in accordance with its customary practice.

   

 

 

10.4.

Default. If, at any time there exists any failure by the Borrower (beyond any period of grace permitted by CIBC) to perform or observe any of its covenants in this Agreement, then, at the option of CIBC, (a) the Borrower will not be entitled to borrow any further SOFR Loans and all outstanding Notices of Borrowing for any SOFR Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Loan in US dollars in the same amount bearing interest on the basis of the US Base Rate, (b) in the case of all then outstanding Term SOFR Loans, on the last day of their respective then current SOFR Periods, the interest thereon shall cease to be calculated hereunder on the basis of the applicable SOFR Rate, and shall commence to be calculated on the basis of the US Base Rate, and (c) in the case of all then outstanding Daily Simple SOFR Loans, on their immediately following interest payment date the interest thereon shall cease to be calculated on the basis of the applicable SOFR Rate, and shall commence to be calculated on the basis of the US Base Rate.

 

Page 18 of 21

 

 

10.5.

Failure of SOFR. If at any time:

 

 

a.

CIBC determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) for any reason that SOFR or any applicable SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

 

 

b.

CIBC determines for any reason (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that SOFR or any applicable SOFR Rate with respect to a SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to CIBC of funding or maintaining such SOFR Loan; or

 

 

c.

A US Benchmark Transition Event has occurred and a US Replacement Benchmark Rate has not yet been chosen and implemented by CIBC in accordance with Section 10.6 below, then CIBC shall be entitled to give notice thereof (by telephone to be confirmed the same day in writing or by Electronic Communication) to the Borrower. On the effective date of such notice, or in the case of any affected Term SOFR Loan, on the last day of the SOFR Period for such outstanding Term SOFR Loan occurring on or after the effective date of such notice, the interest on such SOFR Loan shall cease to be calculated on the basis of the affected SOFR Rate, and shall commence to be calculated on the basis of the US Base Rate (or, if the affected SOFR Rate is a term SOFR Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily SOFR Rate). Any Notice of Borrowing which has been delivered to CIBC requesting an affected SOFR Loan on a day on or subsequent to such notification date will be deemed to request instead a Loan in US dollars in the same amount bearing interest on the basis of the US Base Rate (or, if the affected SOFR Rate is a term SOFR Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily SOFR Rate). The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain any affected SOFR Loan from CIBC so long as any of the circumstances set out in this Section continue to exist, and any Loan that would otherwise have been made by CIBC as an affected SOFR Loan shall instead be made as a Loan in US Dollars bearing interest on the basis of the US Base Rate (or, if the affected SOFR Rate is a term SOFR Rate, then at the discretion of CIBC, a daily SOFR Rate).

 

 

10.6.

Discontinuance of US Benchmark. If at any time, on or prior to the setting of the then current US Benchmark:

 

 

a.

CIBC determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) for any reason that such US Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) (and, in the case of a term rate, all US Available Tenors of such US Benchmark) have ceased or will cease to be available, permanently or indefinitely; or

 

 

b.

CIBC determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) for any reason that such US Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) (and, in the case of a term rate, all US Available Tenors of such US Benchmark) is no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative,

 

(each a “US Benchmark Transition Event”), then CIBC shall be entitled to give notice thereof (by telephone to be confirmed the same day in writing or by Electronic Communication) to the Borrower.

 

If the US Benchmark Transition Event relates to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, then on the last day of the SOFR Period for each outstanding Term SOFR Loan occurring on or after the effective date of such notice, the interest on such Term SOFR Loan shall cease to be calculated on the basis of the affected SOFR Rate, and subject to Section 10.5(c), shall commence to be calculated at the option of CIBC (exercised in the notice of the occurrence of a US Benchmark Transition Event or by further notice in writing to the Borrower) either (i) on the basis of the Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus (A) an amount equal to the Daily Simple SOFR Adjustment set out in such notice plus (B) the margin agreed by CIBC and the Borrower, or (ii) the sum of: (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by CIBC and the Borrower giving due consideration to (1) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant US Governmental Body or (2) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to such US Benchmark, (B) the related US Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (C) the margin agreed by CIBC and the Borrower (the replacement benchmark rate chosen by CIBC pursuant to the foregoing, the “US Replacement Benchmark Rate”).

 

If the US Benchmark Transition Event relates to any US Benchmark other than the Term SOFR Reference Rate, then on and after the effective date of such notice, the interest on the affected Loans shall cease to be calculated on the basis of such US Benchmark and subject to Section 10.5(c), shall commence to be calculated at a rate equal to the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by CIBC and the Borrower giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant US Governmental Body, or (B) any evolving or then- prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to such US Benchmark, (ii) the related US Replacement Benchmark Adjustment and (iii) the margin agreed by CIBC and the Borrower (the replacement benchmark rate chosen by CIBC pursuant to the foregoing, also, a “US Replacement Benchmark Rate”).

 

If the US Replacement Benchmark Rate would at any time be less than US Floor, the US Replacement Benchmark Rate will be deemed to be the US Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Any Notice of Borrowing which has been delivered to CIBC requesting an affected Loan on a day on or subsequent to the effective date of such notification will be deemed to request instead a Loan in US dollars in the same amount bearing interest on the basis of the US Replacement Benchmark Rate. The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain any affected Loan from CIBC for so long as any of the circumstances set out in this Section continue to exist, and any affected Loan that would otherwise have been made by CIBC shall instead be made as a Loan in US Dollars bearing interest on the basis of the US Replacement Benchmark Rate.

a.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if a US Benchmark Transition Event has occurred and notice of the US Replacement Benchmark Rate has been given to the Borrower and become effective, such US Replacement Benchmark Rate will replace the applicable US Benchmark, for all purposes under this Agreement and every other Loan Document without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except for the US Replacement Benchmark Conforming Changes determined by CIBC to be necessary or desirable and written notice of which have been given to the Borrower.

 

 

b.

In connection with the implementation of a US Replacement Benchmark Rate, CIBC will have the right to make US Replacement Benchmark Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such US Replacement Benchmark Conforming Changes will become effective upon written notice to the Borrower without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

 

c.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by CIBC under this Section 10 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in CIBC’s sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 10.

 

 

10.8.

Unavailability of any SOFR Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at any time the Term SOFR Rate for any particular SOFR Period (a) is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by CIBC in its reasonable discretion or (b) the SOFR Administrator has provided a public statement or there has been publication of information announcing that such SOFR Period is or will be no longer representative, then (i) CIBC may provide written notice of such event to the Borrower and upon the effective date of such notice, the definition of SOFR Period will be automatically amended to delete reference to such unavailable or un-representative SOFR Period without the consent, approval or any other action by any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and (ii) if such SOFR Period subsequently becomes available or representative, then CIBC may, in its discretion, reinstate such SOFR Period under this Agreement by written notice to the Borrower.

5.

The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
