Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 12, 2022, Netcapital Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC, as representative of the several underwriters identified therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”), and warrants to purchase up to 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $5.19 per share, exercisable for a period of five years, subject to certain adjustments and cashless exercise provisions. The combined price per Share and Warrant to the public was $4.15. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 180,750 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase 180,750 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On July 14, 2022, the Underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 111,300 warrants (“Option Warrants”).
On July 15, 2022, the Company closed the Offering and issued the Shares, Warrants and Option Warrants for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.07 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for research and development activities (including development of a mobile app), sales and marketing, general working capital purposes, potential acquisitions of other companies, products or technologies, and to repay certain indebtedness. Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 60,250 shares of its common stock to the representative of the Underwriters or their designees, at an exercise price of 5.19 per share (the “Representative’s Warrants”). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable beginning on January 8, 2023, and expire on July 12, 2027, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Representative’s Warrants.
On July 15, 2022, the Company entered into a warrant agency agreement (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”), with Equity Stock Transfer LLC (“Equity Stock”), appointing Equity Stock as Warrant Agent for the Warrants.
The Shares and Warrants were offered, issued and sold to the public pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-262688) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 12, 2022, and the prospectus forming a part thereof.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Security Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and were subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
