Amendments to Credit Facilities
On April 1, 2025, LeddarTech Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into (i) a Fifth Amending Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) amending the financing offer letter dated August 19, 2024, among the Company, VayaVision Sensing Ltd. and the bridge lenders party thereto (as amended prior to April 1, 2025 and as so amended, the “Bridge Facility”), and (ii) a Seventeenth Amending Agreement (the “Seventeenth Amendment”) with Fédération des Caisses Desjardins du Québec (“Desjardins”) with respect to the Amended and Restated Financing Offer dated April 5, 2023 (as amended prior to April 1, 2025 and as so amended, the “Desjardins Credit Facility”).
The Fifth Amendment provides for, among other things, the extension of the maturity date of the bridge loans to the earlier of (x) the business day following the completion of financing transactions aggregating US$35.0 million in gross proceeds comprised of certain prepaid royalty fees, the conversion of approximately US$6.0 million of bridge loans under the Bridge Facility and other equity issuances (such financing transactions, the “Equity Financing”) (such business day, the “Short-Term Outside Date”), and (y) May 23, 2025.
The Seventeenth Amendment provides for, among other things, (i) the payment of certain deferred interest, repayment of Desjardins’ bridge loans and other payments under the Bridge Facility and the Desjardins Credit Facility upon the earlier of (x) the Short-Term Outside Date and (y) May 23, 2025, (ii) the decrease of the minimum cash covenant under the Desjardins Credit Facility to C$1,800,000, and (iii) extending the date by which failure to complete the Equity Financing would constitute a liquidity event to May 23, 2025. The Seventeenth Amendment also provides for a monthly payment by the Company to Desjardins of C$125,000, which monthly fee is earned and payable on the first day of each month, until the Short-Term Outside Date, which must occur on or prior to May 23, 2025. The payment of the monthly fees applicable for the month of August 2024 and for the months up until (and including) January 2025 is postponed pursuant to the Seventeenth Amendment to the earlier of (x) the Short-Term Outside Date and (y) May 23, 2025.
Each of the Fifth Amendment and the Seventeenth Amendment require that the Company must initiate and produce a plan at the satisfaction of Desjardins and the other initial bridge lenders regarding a refinancing, recapitalization or any suitable transaction (the “Plan”) no later than May 16, 2025. Each of the Fifth Amendment and the Seventeenth Amendment also provide that the failure to produce the plan by May 16, 2025 will constitute a liquidity event under the respective amendment.The Company continues to fully consider all potential sources of financing and/or other alternatives. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise additional funds and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in pursuing and implementing any such alternatives (including the Plan), nor any assurance as to the outcome or timing of any such alternatives
The foregoing summary of the Fifth Amendment and the Seventeenth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Amendment and the Seventeenth Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
Notice of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard
Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities
On March 31, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the Company’s market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) for the 30 consecutive business day period from February 14, 2025 through March 28, 2025, the Company did not maintain the minimum MVLS of US$35,000,000 required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The Company will be afforded a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 29, 2025 (the “MVLS Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C).
1
In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum MVLS requirement, the minimum MVLS of the Company’s common shares must meet or exceed US$35,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the MVLS Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the MVLS Compliance Period, the Company will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting, which the Company may appeal to a hearings panel . The Company intends to continue to monitor the MVLS of its common shares between now and September 29, 2025, and will consider the various options available to the Company if its common shares do not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing requirements.
The foregoing letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common shares, which will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “LDTC”, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
