Registered Direct Offering

On June 28, 2024, NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd., or the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, providing for the issuance in a registered direct offering of 3,277,750 common shares, par value CHF 0.02 per share, or the Common Shares, at a purchase price of $0.24 per share. The offering is expected to close on or about July 1, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and requirements under applicable law.

In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the investors will receive unregistered warrants, or the Common Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,277,750 Common Shares at an exercise of $0.24 per share in a concurrent private placement. The Common Warrants will be immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years following the date of issuance.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the investors and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed not to enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Shares or Common Share equivalents for a period of 15 days following the closing of the offering, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Company has also agreed that from the date of the Purchase Agreement until one year after the closing date of the offering, the Company shall not enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries of Common Shares or Common Share equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a variable rate transaction, subject to certain exceptions.

The offering is expected to result in gross proceeds to the Company of $786,660. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which includes research and development, to advance the Company's technology and general corporate purposes and pursuing strategic opportunities including expanding the Company's pipeline.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or the Placement Agent, agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection with the above-described offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received for the securities sold in the offering. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds received for the securities sold in the offering and $50,000 for accountable expenses. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the Placement Agent, or its designees, (i) the Series A placement agent warrants, or the Series A Placement Agent Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 215,022 Common Shares and (ii) the Series B placement agent warrants, or the Series B Placement Agent Warrants and, together with the Series A Placement Agent Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,421 Common Shares (each of (i) and (ii) representing 7.0% of the Common Shares sold in the offering), which will each have an exercise price equal to $0.30 per share. The Series A Placement Agent Warrants will be immediately exercisable from the date of issuance until the five year anniversary of the commencement of sales in the offering. The Series B Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable from the date that the Company (i) obtains approval from its shareholders to increase the number of its authorized Common Shares to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to issue all of the Common Shares underlying the Series B Placement Agent Warrants and (ii) effects such increase, until the five year anniversary of the commencement of sales in the offering

The Common Shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-262489), which was declared effective by the SEC on February 11, 2022.

The offer and sale of the foregoing securities is being made without any form of general solicitation or advertising. The Common Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants and the Common Shares underlying the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Common Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants and the Common Shares underlying the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. The Company has agreed, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 calendar days of the effective date of the Purchase Agreement), to file a registration statement on Form F-1 providing for the resale by the purchasers named in the Purchase Agreement of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants.

This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
