Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 7, 2024, Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Boustead Securities, LLC and The Benchmark Company, LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the underwriters named therein, relating to the Company’s registered public offering (the “Offering”) of 13,250,000 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”). The public offering price was $0.26 per Unit. The underwriters agreed to purchase 13,250,000 Units at a 7.0% discount to the public offering price. The Company granted the Representatives a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,987,500 shares of Common Stock and 1,987,500 Warrants to cover over-allotments, if any. The gross proceeds from the Offering are approximately $3.445 million, or approximately $3.961 million if the Representatives exercise in full their over-allotment option, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. On August 8, 2024, the Representatives partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 1,987,500 Warrants. The Offering closed on August 9, 2024.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted to the Representatives, or their affiliate, as a portion of the underwriting compensation payable thereunder, Unit Purchase Options (the “Representatives’ Options”) to purchase Units equal to an aggregate of 7.0% of the number of Units issued in the Offering at a per Unit exercise price of $0.26, which is equal to the public offering price per Unit sold in the Offering. The Representatives Options are exercisable 180 days after August 7, 2024 and will expire on August 7, 2029.
The Units were issued pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280273), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 17, 2024, as amended, which was declared effective on August 7, 2024. A final prospectus relating to the Offering was filed with the Commission on August 8, 2024.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the underwriters for losses, expenses and damages arising out of or in connection with the Offering, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make with respect to these liabilities.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions described in the registration statement, the Company and each director and executive officer of the Company have agreed, for a period of three months in the case of the Company and 6 months in the case of the directors and executive officers after the closing of the Offering, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, without first obtaining the consent of the Representatives.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, for a period of 12 months after the closing of the Offering, the Representatives will each have a right of first refusal to act lead or joint-lead investment banker, lead or joint-lead book runner and/or lead or joint placement agent, at each of such Representative’s discretion, for each and every future public and private equity, equity-linked or debt (excluding commercial bank debt) offering, including all equity linked financings during such twelve (12) month period, of the Company, or any successor to or subsidiary of the Company on terms customary to the Representatives, excluding any securities issued pursuant to obligations we have outstanding as of the consummation of this Offering.
The Company entered into a Warrant Agency Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“Equiniti”) as of August 9, 2024, pursuant to which Equiniti agreed to act as warrant agent with respect to the Warrants.
The foregoing summaries of the Underwriting Agreement, the Warrant, the Representatives’ Options and the Warrant Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, 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.
