Item 1.01 - Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On August 15, 2024, we entered into Subscription Agreements with certain investors (the “Subscription Agreements”) for a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 6,365,385 units (the “Units”) consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.26 per share of Common Stock (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”), at an offering price of $0.26 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,655,000. Pursuant to our Underwriting Agreement, dated August 7, 2024, with Boustead Securities, LLC and The Benchmark Company, LLC (collectively the “Advisors”), we granted to each of the Advisors a right of first refusal to act as investment banker, book runner and/or placement agent, at their discretion, for each of our future public and private equity offerings. As compensation for the Advisors’ services in connection with this Offering, we have agreed to pay to the Advisors a cash fee of 5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of this Offering and to issue to the Advisors Warrants to purchase 636,538 shares of our common stock.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the offering primarily to continue product development of the KnowU glucose monitoring products, including sales and marketing efforts and clinical studies, intellectual property development, and for operating expenses and working capital purposes. Our management will have broad discretion in the way that we use the net proceeds of this offering and we may use the proceeds for purposes that are not contemplated at the time of the Offering. Pending the final application of the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this Offering in short‑term, interest‑bearing, investment‑grade securities.

 

The Subscription Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by us, customary conditions to closing, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Subscription Agreements were made only for purposes of the agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Subscription Agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

The offer and sale of the Units was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276246) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 22, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2024, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated August 15, 2024 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the “Prospectus Supplement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, the Company may offer and sell up to a maximum 6,365,385 Units. The sale of the Units closed on August 15, 2024.

 

The Company entered into a Warrant Agency Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“Equiniti”) as of August 15, 2024, pursuant to which Equiniti agreed to act as warrant agent with respect to the Warrants.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Subscription Agreement, the Warrant, and Warrant Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 4.2 respectively, each incorporated herein by reference.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
