Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (“Amendment 7”) amends and supplements the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed by Fengate Trident LP, Fengate Trident GP Inc., and Fengate Capital Management Ltd. (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on May 8, 2017 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”), the Amended Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on September 14, 2017 (“Amendment 1”), the Amended Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on September 18, 2017 (“Amendment 2”), the Amended Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on November 5, 2019 (“Amendment 3”), the Amended Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on November 12, 2019 (“Amendment 4”), the Amended Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on March 20, 2020 (“Amendment 5”) and the Amended Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 12, 2020 (“Amendment 6”) in connection with the parties and matters referenced therein and herein, with respect to the common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Trident Brands, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Schedule 13D is being filed as a result of the events described in Item 4 below. Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment 7 shall have the meanings set forth in the Initial Schedule 13D, Amendment 1, Amendment 2, Amendment 3, Amendment 4, Amendment 5 and/or Amendment 6. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items, including previously filed exhibits, remain unchanged and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The Common Stock reported in this Amendment 7 includes 2,811,886.44 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued to the Reporting Persons upon conversion of certain Convertible Notes, as defined below. As of November 30, 2020, the Reporting Persons entered into Notes Amendment 4 (as hereinafter defined) with the Issuer pursuant to which, among other things (i) certain convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 were amended to remove the conversion feature, extend the maturity date, and amend certain interest terms and (ii) the parties agreed that Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $17,659,392, which amount includes accrued interest on the Convertible Notes and the notes in a principal amount of $10,000,000, will be converted into preferred shares of the Issuer.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

The Common Stock and Convertible Notes have been acquired for investment purposes in the ordinary course of the Reporting Persons’ investment activities, and have not been acquired with any purpose of, or with the effect of, changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect. From time to time the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or sell securities of the Issuer. In addition to the transactions reported in the Initial Schedule 13D, Amendment 1, Amendment 2, Amendment 3, Amendment 4, Amendment 5 and Amendment 6, the following has occurred:

 

On November 30, 2020, Trident Brands, Inc.
