Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed on April 17, 2015, General Moly, Inc.  (the “Company”) entered into an Investment and Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Amer International Group Co., Ltd. (“Amer”), pursuant to which Amer agreed to (a) acquire an equity interest in the Company by purchasing the shares of our common stock, and (b) assist the Company in obtaining a loan from one or more prime Chinese banks to fund our share of costs related to the development of the Mt. Hope Project (the “Loan”), or approximately $700 million, including providing a guarantee of that loan.  Also, as previously disclosed, on November 2, 2015, the Company and Amer entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, the parties agreed to a three tranche closing structure to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

 

On November 24, 2015, the parties closed the first of the three Purchase Agreement closing tranches (the “First Tranche Closing”), pursuant to which Amer invested $4 million in the Company in exchange for 13,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $0.30 per share, and warrants to purchase 80,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. The warrants were issued pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Warrant executed by the Company and Amer (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrant”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Amer may exercise it at any time commencing on the date the Company first draws down funds under the Loan (the “Commencement Date”), and expiring on the earlier of (a) the sixty (60) month anniversary of the Commencement Date or (b) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Purchase Agreement, as amended, if the Loan documentation has not been executed by such date.  The shares of common stock and warrants were issued pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In addition, at the First Tranche Closing, Amer and the Company entered into a Stockholder Agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”) pursuant to which Amer is permitted to immediately nominate one member of the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as additional directors following the completion of the third tranche closing under the Purchase Agreement, and drawdown of a senior secured loan, respectively.  The Stockholders Agreement also governs Amer’s acquisition and transfer of shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Also at the First Tranche Closing, Amer and the Company entered into an Expense Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to deposit $2 million into a joint account (the “Joint Account”) to cover anticipated Mt. Hope financing costs and other jointly sourced business development opportunities.  Upon the closing of the second tranche under the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to deposit an additional $1 million in the Joint Account.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Stockholder Agreement and Expense Reimbursement Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of such documents, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively.
