On December 15, 2020, BioCardia, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers of the Shares. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 2,038,836 Shares, at an offering price of $5.15 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $10.5 million before deducting the fees of A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”) and related offering expenses. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Company intend to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, completing enrollment in the ongoing CardiAMP Cell Therapy pivotal trial for the treatment of heart failure, the funding of clinical development and pursuing regulatory approval for our product candidates.

 

On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with the Placement Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of an aggregate of 2,038,836 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $5.15 per share (the “Registered Offering”). The Company will pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds generated from the sale of the Shares.

 

The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

The Registered Offering is being made pursuant to a Registration Statement (No. 333-249426) on Form S-3, which was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2020, and declared effective on October 20, 2020, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated December 15, 2020.

 

The Placement Agency Agreement and Purchase Agreement are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
