Explanatory Note

 

On June 6, 2024, Gorilla Technology Group Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors relating to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of (a) 2,142,858 ordinary shares of the Company and (b) Series C ordinary share purchase warrants to purchase 2,142,858 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Warrants”) to such investors for $5.60 per ordinary share and accompany warrant (the “Offering”). The Purchase Agreements contain customary representations and warranties, conditions to closing, termination provisions and indemnification obligations, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance at an exercise price of $5.90 per ordinary share. A holder of a Warrant may not exercise such Warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. In addition, the Company concurrently entered into amendments to certain of its warrant agreements (the “Warrant Amendments”), which would reduce the exercise price of the Company’s Series A ordinary share purchase warrants and Series B ordinary share purchase warrants to $5.90, conditional on the consummation of the Offering.

 

On June 7, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the Offering by the Company. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.5 to this report on Form 6-K.

 

The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about June 10, 2024 and the Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $11.3 million, after deducting placement agent fees but before paying estimated offering expenses. The Offering is being made pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-274053) previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on August 29, 2023.

 

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as lead placement agent for the Offering.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company and directors and executive officers of the Company entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), which each provide for a 60-day lockup period, subject to customary exceptions.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreements, the Warrant Amendments, the Warrants and the Lock-Up Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Purchase Agreement, the form of Warrant Amendment, the form of Warrant and the form of Lock-Up Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

As a result of the Offering, the conversion price of the Company’s Series A convertible preference shares and the conversion price of the Company’s Series B convertible preference shares each decreased from $6.00 to the lower of $5.60 or the lowest VWAP during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately following the public announcement per ordinary share.

 

In connection with that certain Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement dated August 17, 2023, between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Sales Agreement”), on April 23, 2024, the Company issued and sold 17,973 ordinary shares at an average price of $6.2639 per ordinary share. On April 30, 2024, the Company issued and sold 19,300 ordinary shares at an average price of $6.022 per ordinary share pursuant to the Sales Agreement. On May 1, 2024, the Company issued and sold 28,365 ordinary shares at an average price of $6.0294 per ordinary share pursuant to the Sales Agreement. On May 2, 2024, the Company issued and sold 26,800 ordinary shares at an average price of $6.0565 per ordinary share pursuant to the Sales Agreement. On May 3, 2024, the Company issued and sold 25,900 ordinary shares at price of $6.1043 per ordinary share pursuant to the Sales Agreement. On May 6, 2024, the Company issued and sold 4,044 ordinary shares at an average price of $6.0007 per ordinary share pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
