Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 20, 2024, Shineco, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with certain non-U.S. investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase, severally and not jointly, an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at an offering price of $ 5.00 per share (the “Offering”). Each Purchaser has represented that he or she is not a resident of the United States and is not a “U.S. person” as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person. The gross proceeds of the Offering are expected to be approximately $7.0 million, before the deduction of customary expenses.
In reliance on the Purchasers’ representations to the Company, the Shares to be issued in the Offering are not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor any exhibit attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares described herein.
The SPA contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers, indemnification obligations of the Purchasers, and other obligations and rights of the parties. Additionally, the closing of the Offering is conditioned upon the consummation of certain matters by the Company, including, if required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules, submitting a Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form to Nasdaq and obtaining the approval by Nasdaq of the transactions contemplated thereby. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the Offering is expected to close on or about July 31, 2024.
The foregoing description of the SPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of the SPA, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
