Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Please refer to the discussion under Item 3.02, the text of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On February 10, 2014, Biolase, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Subscription Agreement with certain institutional investors listed thereon (the "Subscription Agreement") and sold an aggregate of 1,945,525 shares of the Company’s unregistered common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price of $2.57 per share of Common Stock, the closing price per share on NASDAQ on February 7, 2014. The sale of the Common Stock closed on February 10, 2014, and resulted in gross proceeds of $5.0 million.
The Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and was offered pursuant to the exemptions from registration set forth in section 4(2) of the Act, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. These transactions qualified for exemption from registration because, among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering, each investor was an accredited investor and/or qualified institutional buyer, each investor took the Common Stock for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the Common Stock. No registration rights were provided and none of the Common Stock may be re-offered or resold absent either registration under the Act or the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements. The Company will pay $200,000 to Northland Securities, Inc. in connection with the sale of the Common Stock.
Proceeds from the offering are planned to be used to pay down the amounts outstanding under the Company's lines of credit with Comerica Bank, which totaled approximately $4.6 million at December 31, 2013. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.01.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 11, 2014, the Company issued a press release entitled "Biolase Raises $5 Million in Private Placement." A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
