SCHEDULE 13D/A

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “First Amendment”) amends and supplements certain Items of the Schedule 13D filed by Phillip Frost, M.D., an individual (“Frost”), and Frost Gamma Investments Trust, a trust organized under the laws of Florida (the “Gamma Trust”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 30, 2012, (together, the “Original 13D”) with respect to the common stock, with no par value (the “Common Shares”), of Passport Potash Inc., (the “Issuer”), by furnishing the information set forth below. Except as set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged.

 

All information in this Amendment to the Schedule 13D concerning the Common Shares has been adjusted to give effect to a 2 for 1 reverse stock split effectuated on March 13, 2014.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding thereto the following:

 

On February 6, 2014 the 15% debenture note and warrants (the “Original Note and Warrants”) were amended to extend the maturity date from February 19, 2014 to August 19, 2016. The Original Note interest rate changed from 15% to 9.5% payable in 50% cash and 50% shares, at the end of each year from the issue date. At the sole option of the holder, holder may elect to receive interest payments entirely in shares of common stock. Additionally the conversion price of the Original Note and Warrants exercise price changed from $0.19 to $0.12 given effect to a 2 for 1 reverse stock split effectuated on March 13, 2014. The amended debenture note is convertible into 2,395,834 shares of common stock at any time before maturity without giving effect to accrued interest.

 

Frost Gamma Investments Trust purchased the Original Note and Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. The Original Note was increased by the accrued interest as of February 19, 2014 of $37,500 which was reinvested into the amended debenture note for a new principal amount of $287,000.
