ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On May 28, 2021, Inuvo, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to the Agent, as sales agent and/or principal (the “Offering”) shares of its common stock (the “Shares”). Any Shares offered and sold in the Offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-253018) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 12, 2021 and declared effective on March 15, 2021 (the “Form S-3”), the base prospectus included in the Form S-3 and the prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, dated May 28, 2021, that will be filed with the SEC providing for up to $35,000,000 of sales of shares of common stock. The issuance and sale, if any, of the Shares held by the Company under the Sales Agreement is subject to the continued effectiveness of the Form S-3.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. Under the Sales Agreement, the Agent may sell the Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement. The Offering will terminate upon

 

(a) the election of the Agent upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, (b) 10 days’ advance notice from one party to the other, or (c) the sale of all of the Shares.

 

Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will be entitled to a commission at a fixed rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of Shares under the Sales Agreement. The Company will also reimburse the Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement, and agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include additions to working capital and financing potential acquisitions.

 

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

A copy of the opinion of McDonald Carano LLP relating to the validity of the Shares that may be offered and sold under the Registration Statement, is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 5.1.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Shares in any state or country in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or country.
