Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 18, 2024, Spectaire Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with the investor named therein (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell securities to the Investor in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The Purchase Agreement provided for the sale and issuance by the Company of (i) an aggregate of 1,538,461 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) an accompanying warrant to purchase up to 1,538,461 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”) at an exercise price of $1.30 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million, before deducting expenses relating to the Private Placement.

 

The closing of the Private Placement occurred on March 18, 2024.

 

The Warrant is immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on March 18, 2027.

 

The Warrant contains standard adjustments to the exercise price including for stock splits, stock dividends or distributions, certain other dividends or distributions and certain reorganizations. The Warrant also includes certain rights upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrant) involving the Company, including the right of the holders thereof, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, to cause the Company or any successor entity to purchase the Warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrant) of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.

 

The Private Placement is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The Investor has not acquired the securities with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and appropriate legends have been affixed to the securities issued in this transaction.

A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in this Item 7.01 by reference. The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
