Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 11, 2020, Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with two private investors for the sale of a total of 146,668 shares at the price of $3.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $550,004. The sales were completed and the shares of common stock were issued on March 11, 2020. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses of the private placement will be approximately $510,000.   

Investor Rights Agreement

In accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements, the Company and each investor entered into an Investor Rights Agreement in which the Company agreed, among other things, to file certain registration statements for the resale of common stock that the investors acquired under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

See Item 1.01 for a description of the Company’s unregistered sale of securities, which were sold solely to accredited investors in a private placement. The Company issued the securities described therein in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 506 of the Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the sale for working capital and general corporate purposes.

While the Company did not use a placement agent in connection with the sale of common stock described in this report, it was obligated to pay a fee of $27,500 in cash to Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd., who identified one of the investors in connection with a previous private placement.
