Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on June 4, 2019, SINTX Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement, dated June 4, 2019 (the “Distribution Agreement”), with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”). Since June 4, 2019, the Company has sold the maximum number of shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, available under the Distribution Agreement. On September 12, 2019, the Company and Maxim entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Distribution Agreement to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be sold from time to time from $1,600,000 to an aggregate offering price of $2,512,000 (the “Shares”) through Maxim, as agent (the “Offering”). On September 12, 2019, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Offering (the “Prospectus Supplement”) under its existing Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No 333-230492), which became effective on April 5, 2019 (the “Registration Statement”). The Amendment also provides that the Distribution Agreement, as amended, and the Offering will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of Shares having an aggregate offering price of $2,512,000, (ii) the termination by either the Agent or the Company upon the provision of fifteen (15) days written notice, or (iii) September 12, 2020. No other changes were made to the terms of the Distribution Agreement.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Shares for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to invest in or acquire businesses or technologies that the Company believes are complementary to its own, although the Company has no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

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

 

Dorsey & Whitney LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued a legal opinion relating to the Shares. A copy of this legal opinion, including the consent included therein, is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

 

Any shares offered and sold in the Offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement, the prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Offering.
