Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On June 8, 2020, BIOLASE, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with certain accredited institutional investors (the Purchasers), pursuant to which the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, in a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement, 10,800,000 shares (the Shares) of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share (Common Stock), and warrants to purchase 10,800,000 shares of Common Stock (the Warrants) with an exercise price of $0.515 per share. The combined purchase price for one Share and one Warrant will be $0.64. The Company expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds in the offering of approximately $6.9 million, before deducting fees to the placement agents and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Shares are being offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233172), which was declared effective on August 23, 2019 (the Registration Statement). The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the Warrant Shares) were issued in a concurrent private placement and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and are instead being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The Warrants will be exercisable commencing on the date of issuance and will expire on the five year anniversary of the issuance date.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, until 20 days following the closing of the offering, the Company will not issue (or enter into any agreement to issue) any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, subject to certain exceptions.
The exercise price of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis in certain circumstances.
The Company has agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Warrant Shares within 45 days of the date of the Purchase Agreement and to obtain effectiveness of such registration statement within 181 days following the closing of the offering. The Purchasers have agreed not to resell or distribute the Warrants or the Warrant Shares to the public except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption thereto.
Maxim Group LLC, The Benchmark Company LLC, and Colliers Securities LLC acted as the placement agents (the Placement Agents) on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the offering. A copy of the Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2020, by and among the Company and the Placement Agents is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference (the Placement Agency Agreement). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agents will be entitled to a cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds paid to the Company for the securities sold in the offering and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The foregoing summaries of the offering, the securities to be issued in connection therewith, the Purchase Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement and the Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the definitive transaction documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
On June 8, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (the June 2020 Amendment) with SWK Funding LLC (SWK), in connection with that certain Credit Agreement, as amended (the Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, SWK, and the lenders parties thereto. The June 2020 Amendment amends the Credit Agreement by extending the deadline by which the Company is required to comply with the $10,000,000 minimum equity capital raise requirement (the Equity Capital Raise Requirement) set forth in the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2020, from June 30, 2020 to July 31, 2020. The June 2020 Amendment also acknowledged that the $6.9 million in proceeds raised by the Company in connection with the registered direct offering pursuant to the Purchase Agreement described above shall count towards the Equity Capital Raise Requirement.
