Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 13, 2022, Clever Leaves Holdings Inc. (“CLVR”) and Catalina LP (“Catalina”) entered into a First Amendment to Secured Convertible Note (the “First Amendment Agreement”), amending certain terms of the Secured Convertible Note issued by CLVR to Catalina on July 19, 2021 (the “Original Note”). Capitalized terms used herein have the meaning given to them under Original Note, unless defined herein or otherwise indicated.

The amendments described below under “Temporary Amendments” expire at 11:59 p.m. on July 19, 2022 (the “Expiration Time”), at which time the terms of the Original Note apply with respect to such amendments.

As of the date of the First Amendment Agreement, $5,559,285.60 in redemptions of Principal (with 720,085 Common Shares (defined below) being issued to the Holder) have been made in accordance with Section 4 of the Original Note. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) of the Original Note, further redemptions made in accordance with Section 4 of the Original Note from the date of the First Amendment Agreement through and including July 19, 2022 cannot exceed an additional $6,940,714.40 of Principal in the aggregate (“First Half Principal Amount”). The terms of the Original Note will apply to redemptions or repayments after July 19, 2022, unless further amended by the parties thereto.

Temporary Amendments

Redemption for Cash - The First Amendment Agreement allows Catalina to elect to receive cash repayments on account of Principal if the closing price per Common Share is below US$2.20 (compared to US$7.00 in the Original Note) on any 10 of the previous 20 Trading Days (compared to 15 consecutive trading days in the Original Note), provided that such repayments do not exceed US$3,500,000 (less any conversions made pursuant to the optional redemption provisions described below) in any calendar month or, in the aggregate and until the Expiration Date, the First Half Principal Amount (less any conversions made pursuant to the optional redemption provisions described below).

Optional Redemptions into Common Shares

The First Amendment Agreements eliminates the Company’s right to elect to convert pursuant to the Original Note.

With respect to redemptions into common shares of the Company, without par value (“Common Shares”) by Catalina, the First Amendment Agreement modifies the definition of Optional Redemption Price (which is the price at which Catalina may elect to redeem the Principal into Common Shares), to be the greater of (i) US$2.208 (which decreased from US$6.44 in the Original Note); and (ii) an 8% discount to the 4-day VWAP, which is defined as the lowest volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market on each of the three days prior to and including the date of the Optional Redemption Notice (the Original Note did not include the 4-day VWAP concept, and instead provided for an 8% discount to the closing price of the Common Shares on the Original Redemption Date). As such, until the Expiration Time, Catalina may redeem the First Half Principal Amount for approximately 3.1 million Common Shares assuming the minimum Optional Redemption Price of US$2.208 (compared to approximately 1.1 million Common Shares assuming the US$6.44 minimum optional redemption price included in the Original Note).

The First Amendment Agreements also modifies the limitations on redemptions into Common Shares by Catalina as follows: (1) from and after February 1, 2022, Catalina may redeem up to an aggregate amount of US$2,000,000 (the “Base Redemption Amount”) during a calendar month at the Optional Redemption Price; (2) from and after February 1, 2022, Catalina may redeem up to an additional US$1,500,000 (the “Additional Redemption Amount”) during a calendar month at a redemption price that is the greater of (i) US$4.60 and (ii) an 8% discount to the 4-day VWAP (as defined above); and (3) until January 31, 2022, Catalina may redeem up to an aggregate amount of US$4,000,000 (the “Make-Up Base Redemption Amount”) at the Optional Redemption Price; and (4) until January 31, 2022, Catalina may redeem up to an additional US$3,000,000 (the “Make-Up Additional Redemption Amount”) at a redemption price that is the greater of (i) US$4.60 and (ii) an 8% discount to the 4-day VWAP (as defined above). If Catalina does not redeem the full amount of the Base Redemption Amount, Additional Redemption Amount, Make-Up Base Redemption Amount or Make-Up Additional Redemption Amount in an applicable calendar month, Catalina may redeem any unused portion at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

Non-Temporary Amendments

In the event the number of Common Shares that are issued to Catalina pursuant to the First Amendment Agreement or, following the Expiration Time, the Original Note, exceed those registered under the existing resale registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258855), CLVR may be required to amend such registration statement or file a new registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register such Common Shares.
