Loop Industries, Inc.
 
Overview
 
Loop is a technology and licensing company whose mission is to accelerate the world’s shift toward sustainable plastic and away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Loop owns patented and proprietary technology that depolymerizes no and low value waste PET plastic and polyester fiber, including plastic bottles and packaging, carpet and polyester textile of any color, transparency or condition and even ocean plastics that have been degraded by the sun and salt, to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are filtered, purified and repolymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber suitable for use in food-grade packaging to be sold to consumer goods companies to help them meet their sustainability objectives. Through our customers and production partners, Loop is leading a global movement toward a circular economy by commercializing a leading-edge technology which will ensure plastic stays in the economy for a more sustainable future for all.
 
Our Technology
 
The power of our technology lies in its ability to divert and recover what is currently considered plastic waste from landfills, rivers, oceans and natural areas for use as feedstock to create new, sustainable, infinitely recyclable Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber. We believe our technology can deliver a cost-effective and profitable virgin quality PET plastic resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging.
 
Our Generation I technology process yielded polyethylene terephthalate (“PTA”) and monoethylene glycol (“MEG”), two common monomers of PET plastic, through depolymerization. While monomers were of excellent purity and strong yield, we continued to challenge ourselves to drive down cost and eliminate inputs. It was during this process that we realized we could eliminate water and chlorinated solvents from the purification process, reduce the number of reagents from five to two and reduce the number of purification steps from 12 to four, if we shifted from the production of PTA to the production of dimethyl terephthalate (“DMT”), another proven monomer of PET plastic that is far simpler to purify. Since June 2018, when we transitioned to our Generation II technology and our newly built industrial pilot plant, we continue to see consistently high monomer yields, excellent purity and improved conversion costs.
 
This shift, from producing the monomer PTA to the monomer DMT was a pivotal moment for Loop. The Generation II technology is more cost-effective, easier to commercialize, more economical for our customers and requires less energy and fewer resource inputs than conventional PET production processes. We believe it to be one of the most environmentally sustainable methods for producing virgin quality food-grade PET plastic in the world.

To protect our technology, and in addition to the patents we hold for our Generation I (or “GEN I”) technology, we have patents pending for our Generation II (or “GEN II”) technology in various jurisdictions around the world. On April 9, 2019, the GEN II U.S. patent was formally approved and issued. Freedom to Operate searches have also been conducted that indicate no conflicts with any of our existing patents or applications and we adhere to rigorous internal data and confidentiality controls.
 
Corporate Information and History
 
We were originally incorporated in Nevada in March 2010 under the name Radikal Phones Inc., which was changed to First American Group Inc. in October 2010. On July 29, 2015, we completed a reverse acquisition of Loop Holdings, Inc., whereby we acquired all of its issued and outstanding common shares in a share exchange for approximately 78.1% of the capital stock of our company at the time. The depolymerization business of Loop Holdings, Inc. became our sole operating business. On June 22, 2015, our board of directors approved a change in the fiscal year end date from September 30 to the last day of February. On July 21, 2015 we changed our name to Loop Industries, Inc. Loop Holdings, Inc. was originally incorporated in Nevada on October 23, 2014. On March 9, 2017, Loop Holdings, Inc. merged with and into us.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 480 Fernand-Poitras Street, Terrebonne, Québec J6Y 1Y4 Canada. Our telephone number is (450) 951-8555. Our website address is http://www.loopindustries.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus and should not be considered to be part of this prospectus.
 
THIS OFFERING
 
The shares of Common Stock offered in this prospectus relate to the potential resale of an aggregate of 2,081,451 shares of Common Stock. Immediately following this offering, we will have 40,629,221 shares of Common Stock outstanding, assuming the conversion of all notes and exercise of all the warrants underlying the shares of Common Stock registered herein. The number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering is based on 39,032,528 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 7, 2019.
 
On March 4, 2019, we issued 150,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Plaintiff Common Shares”) and 500,000 warrants exercisable for shares of our Common Stock (the “Plaintiff Warrants”) pursuant to a settlement agreement and release (the “Settlement Agreement”) that we entered into with certain of the Selling Stockholders on February 26, 2019. 300,000 of the Plaintiff Warrants are exercisable for shares of the company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share for a period of 24 months following the date of the Settlement Agreement. The remaining 200,000 Plaintiff Warrants were exercisable for shares of the company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share for a period of 24 months, but in the event the company’s 5-day average trading price during any period in the first 18 months following the date of the Settlement Agreement is above $11 per share, then the exercise term of such warrants shall automatically be reduced to 18 months instead of 24 months. Because Loop’s 5-day average trading price was above $11 per share during the 5-day period of July 1, 2019 to July 8, 2019, the exercise term of such warrants has been reduced to 18 months instead of 24 months. As part of the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to file this registration statement to register the resale of the shares issued and issuable pursuant to the Plaintiff Warrants to the Selling Stockholders.

On November 13, 2018 and January 3, 2019, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $2,650,000 convertible promissory notes (the “2018 Convertible Notes”). The 2018 Convertible Notes included related warrants (the “2018 Convertible Note Warrants”), which are exercisable for an additional fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the 2018 Convertible Notes. On April 5, 2019, we entered into an Amendment and Conversion Agreement to the November 2018 Convertible Notes, which provided for voluntary conversion of the 2018 Convertible Notes at a conversion price of $8.55, and on April 8, 2019, the company entered into amendments to the 2018 Convertible Note Warrants, which set the exercise price as $8.55 per share. On April 5, 2019, all holders of 2018 Convertible Notes elected to convert their notes into shares of Common Stock of the company at the conversion price of $8.55 per share. This registration statement registers the shares of Common Stock of the company issued pursuant to the conversion of the 2018 Convertible Notes and issuable pursuant to the 2018 Convertible Note Warrants.
 
On January 15, 2019 and January 21, 2019, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $4,900,000 convertible promissory notes (the “2019 Convertible Notes” and, together with the 2018 Convertible Notes, the “Notes”), which mature on January 15, 2020 and January 21, 2020, respectively, and automatically convert into shares of our Common Stock at the price per share equal to $8.10 (the “2019 Convertible Note Conversion Price”). The 2019 Convertible Note Conversion Price may be adjusted in the event that we issue common shares in a private sale or offering at a lower price per share (the “2019 Convertible Note New Share Price”) within 180 days of the closing date. The 2019 Convertible Note New Share Price would become the new conversion price of the 2019 Convertible Note notes, the 2019 Convertible Note New Issuance Price, which would impact the number of shares and warrants issued. All accrued interest shall be paid in cash or in shares of the company’s Common Stock, at the discretion of each holder of a 2019 Convertible Note. If interest is paid in company’s Common Stock, the price per share shall be equal to the trading price of the company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market at the close of the market on the date immediately preceding the maturity date.
 
The 2019 Convertible Notes include related warrants (the “2019 Convertible Note Warrants” and, together with the 2018 Warrants, the “Warrants”), which are exercisable for an additional fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes. The per share purchase price (the “2019 Convertible Note Exercise Price”) for each share of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 2019 Convertible Note Warrant shall be equal to 115% of the 2019 Convertible Note Conversion Price or the 2019 Convertible Note New Issuance Price, as applicable. Each 2019 Convertible Note Warrant expires twenty-four (24) months from the date of the conversion of the January 2019 Convertible Notes (the “2019 Convertible Note Warrant Expiration Date”) and holders of the 2019 Convertible Notes may exercise the 2019 Convertible Note Warrants at any time prior to the 2019 Convertible Note Warrant Expiration Date. On April 4, 2019, we entered into an amendment (the “2019 Purchase Agreement Amendment”) to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of January 15, 2019, among the company and certain accredited investors (the “2019 Purchase Agreement”), the 2019 Convertible Notes and the 2019 Convertible Note Warrants. This registration statement registers the shares of Common Stock of the company issuable pursuant to the conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes and pursuant to the 2019 Convertible Note Warrants.
 
Additionally, the Selling Stockholders may offer shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the extent such shares were issued and outstanding prior to the original date of filing of the registration statement to which this prospectus relates.

Effect of Certain Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Undesignated Preferred Stock.  The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.
Protective Provisions. The Series A preferred stock has certain protective provisions, as set forth in our articles of incorporation, that could have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the company.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The shares of our Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders, and those issuable to the Selling Stockholders, upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of our Common Stock, the Notes and Warrants, see “Prospectus Summary—About this Offering” above. We are registering the shares of our Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of our Common Stock and the Warrants, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
 
The following table details the name of each Selling Stockholders, the number of shares of our Common Stock owned by each of the Selling Stockholders, based on its ownership of the shares of our Common Stock, Notes and Warrants as of October 4, 2019, and the number of shares of our Common Stock that may be offered by the Selling Stockholders for resale under this prospectus assuming exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The following table has been prepared on the assumption that all shares offered for resale by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus will be sold to parties unaffiliated with the Selling Stockholders.
 
The percentage of shares of our Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholders both prior to and following the offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus, is based on 39,032,528 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of October 4, 2019 and does not take into account any shares of Common Stock issued by us pursuant to this prospectus. We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Stockholders will in fact sell any or all of such shares of our Common Stock.
 
Under the terms of the 2019 Convertible Notes and Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise the 2019 Convertible Notes and Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of common shares which would exceed 19.9% of our then outstanding common shares following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination common shares issuable upon exercise of the 2019 Convertible Notes and Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
 
Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, each Selling Stockholder named in the following table possesses sole voting and investment power over the shares listed. The information does not necessarily indicate ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each stockholder listed on the table is c/o Loop Industries, Inc., 480 Fernand-Poitras, Terrebonne, Québec, Canada, J6Y 1Y4. The actual number of shares held by each Selling Stockholder listed below may be greater than this number held of record, as the Selling Stockholder may be beneficial owners of additional shares that are held in street name by brokers and other nominees or in trust or by other entities.

The shares of Common Stock registered herein may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.
 
The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
underwritten transactions;
 
privately negotiated transactions;

sales in the over-the-counter market;
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
 
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares of Common Stock at a stipulated price per share;
 
a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Common Stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
“at the market” offerings to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;
 
exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions;

A Selling Stockholder that is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of shares of our Common Stock registered herein to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of Common Stock registered herein by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
 
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock registered herein from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock registered herein in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of Common Stock registered herein from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of Common Stock registered herein may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of Common Stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
 
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of Common Stock registered herein. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
The Selling Stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of Common Stock registered herein, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of Common Stock registered herein by any Selling Stockholder. If we are notified by any Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of Common Stock registered herein, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the Selling Stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of Common Stock registered herein, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our Common Stock registered herein and activities of the Selling Stockholders.
