Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 25, 2021, Rare Element Resources, Inc. (the "
Company
"), a Wyoming corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Rare Element Resources Ltd. (the "
Registrant
"), and Whitelaw Creek LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("
Whitelaw Creek
"), entered into an amendment (the "
Amendment
") to the previously announced asset purchase agreement dated October 20, 2016 between the Company and Whitelaw Creek (the "
APA
").  The Amendment modified certain provisions of the APA related to the terms and conditions of the Company's option to repurchase (the "
Repurchase Option
") approximately 640 acres of non-core real property located in Crook County, Wyoming, that is under consideration for a stockpile facility for the Bear Lodge rare earth elements project.  Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Amendment, among other things,
●
the term of the Repurchase Option (which was to expire on October 26, 2021) was extended for up to three additional years, subject to annual option extension payments from the Company to Whitelaw Creek of $25,000 in cash per year (each, a "
Repurchase Option Extension Payment
"); and
●
the exercise price of the Repurchase Option was increased from $1,000,000 to a price to be determined by a mutually agreed upon real estate appraiser (the "
Repurchase Price
"), provided that (i) the Repurchase Price must not be less than $1,200,000 or greater than $1,850,000 and (ii) any Repurchase Option Extension Payments paid by the Company to Whitelaw Creek must be credited toward the Company's payment of the Repurchase Price if the Repurchase Option is later exercised.
The transfer, sale or exchange of any common shares of the Registrant that may be issued as part of the Repurchase Price is exempt from registration as a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, among other exemptions.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
