Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Placement Agent Agreement

 

On April 28, 2021 the Company entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”) relating to the Company’s private placement (the “Offering”) of up to 3,669,724 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value, at a purchase price of $2.18 per share (the “Shares”) to select investors (the “Investors”) together with 1,834,862 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the “Warrants” and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company agreed to pay A.G.P. a cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds from the Offering raised from the Investors, a cash fee of 1% of the gross proceeds of the Offering for non-accountable expenses, and to reimburse A.G.P. for certain accountable expenses. In addition, the Company agreed to issue A.G.P. or its assigns warrants to purchase up to 183,486 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of offer, and are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions.

 

The Offering

 

On April 28, 2021, the Company and the Investors entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares and Warrants. The Purchase Agreement restricts the Company from issuing additional shares of Common Stock for a period of 90 days from the closing of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The Investor Warrant will have an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Company will be prohibited from effecting an exercise of the Investor Warrants to the extent that, as a result of such exercise, the Investor would beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated Offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $7.3 million. The Offering closed on April 30, 2021.

 

Pursuant to the several Registration Rights Agreements dated April 28, 2021, the Company’s intends to register the Shares, and the Warrant Shares, the Placement Agent Warrants, and the Placement Agent Warrant Shares, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on a Registration Statement on Form F-3.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreements were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreements. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreements and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the form of Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transactions. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

 

In order to induce the Investors to participate in the Offering, the directors and officers of the Company each agreed to enter into lock-up agreements whereby, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions therein, each party agreed not to dispose of shares of the Company’s common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Purchase Agreements, the Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants, and the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the forms attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
