Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

On June 10, 2021, Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement, relating to the Company’s underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock and 3,750,000 Warrants to the underwriters at a combined public offering price of $4.00 per share of Common Stock and Warrant (the “Offering Price”), and granted the Representative a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 562,500 additional shares of Common Stock and 562,500 additional Warrants, equivalent to 15% of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants sold in the Offering (the “Option”), pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-255091) (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides that the Company will indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. In exchange for the underwriters’ services, the Company agreed to (i) sell the Common Stock and Warrants to the underwriters at a combined purchase price of $3.64 per share of Common Stock and Warrant, reflecting the underwriting discount of 8% and 1% non-accountable expense allowance granted to the underwriters, and (ii) issue the Representative (or its designees) warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 4.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (the “Representative’s Warrants”).

 

The Offering closed on June 15, 2021, and the Company sold 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,312,500 Warrants to the underwriters, which includes 562,500 Warrants sold upon the partial exercise of the Option, for total gross proceeds of approximately $15 million. After deducting the underwriting commissions, discounts, and offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $13.2 million.

 

The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Representative’s Warrants

 

On June 15, 2021, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued the Representative’s Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common Stock. The Representative’s Warrants may be exercised beginning on December 10, 2021 until June 10, 2026. The initial exercise price of each Representative Warrant is $4.60 per share, which represents 115% of the Offering Price.

 

 
 

 The foregoing summary of the Representative’s Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Representative’s Warrant, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Warrant Agent Agreement

 

On June 15, 2021, the Company also entered into a Warrant Agent Agreement with Equiniti Trust Company (“Warrant Agent Agreement”), pursuant to which Equiniti Trust Company agreed to act as transfer agent with respect to the Warrants. The foregoing summary of the Warrant Agent Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Warrant Agent Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021, on April 21, 2021, the stockholders of the Company representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders, approved by written consent, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-1.5 and not more than 1-for-10.

 

Following the approval by the stockholders, the Board approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
