SCHEDULE 13D – EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 7 to the statement on Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 7”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined herein) on December 30, 2022, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 filed on October 31, 2023, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 29, 2024, Amendment No. 3 filed on March 1, 2024, Amendment No. 4 filed on March 29, 2024, Amendment No. 5 filed on May 23, 2024, and Amendment No. 6 filed on August 6, 2024 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), and relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”) of Agrify Corporation (“Issuer”) beneficially owned by Raymond Nobu Chang (“Mr. Chang”), RTC3 2020 Irrevocable Trust (“RTC3”), NXT3J Capital, LLC (“NXT3J”), CP Acquisitions, LLC (“CP Acquisitions”), GIC Acquisition LLC (“GIC Acquisition”), Raymond Chang Jr. and Chinwei Wang (each, a “Reporting Person” and together, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to shares of Common Stock that they may be deemed to have beneficial ownership.

 

In accordance with Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 7 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No.7 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Each Reporting Person is the record owner of the securities set forth on their respective cover sheet. The percentage of outstanding Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth on Line 13 of each Reporting Person’s cover sheet. Such percentage was calculated based on the 14,230,447 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Chang hereby disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the securities held by NXT3J, RTC3, CP Acquisitions, GIC Acquisition and Raymond Chang Jr. except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

New Junior Note for CP Acquisitions

 

On August 14, 2024, Issuer issued a junior secured promissory note (the “New Junior Note”) in favor of CP Acquisitions, an entity affiliated with and controlled by Raymond Chang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (“Board”), and I-Tseng Jenny Chan, a member of the Board. Pursuant to the New Junior Note, CP Acquisitions will lend up to $1,500,000 to the Issuer. The New Junior Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, will mature in full on July 1, 2025, and may be prepaid without any fee or penalty. The New Junior Note is secured by the Issuer’s assets and ranks junior to existing secured indebtedness of the Issuer. The New Junior Note may be converted into common stock of the Company or, at CP Acquisition’s election, pre-funded warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), in each case at a conversion price of $0.2633.

 

The foregoing summaries of the New Junior Note and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to copies of the New Junior Note and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024, which are attached as exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6 is hereby amended and modified to include the following (which shall be in addition to the information previously included in the Schedule 13D):

 

Except as set forth in the New Junior Note, or herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the call options, put options, security-based swaps or any other derivative securities, transfer or voting of such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
