Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 10, 2021, The ExOne Company (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, and each of the other underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell up to 1,666,667 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) at a public offering price of $54.00 per share. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 205,907 shares of common stock (the “Optional Shares”) at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters provided notice of their intention to exercise the option to purchase the Optional Shares in full on February 11, 2021. The purchase and sale of the Shares and the Optional Shares closed on February 12, 2021 and was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-223690 and 333-252894), which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The net offering proceeds to the Company from the offering are approximately $95.4 million, including the exercise of the Underwriter’s option to purchase the Optional Shares, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including strategic investments.
In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company and our officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, for a period of 60 days from February 10, 2021, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock either owned as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement or thereafter acquired without the prior written consent of the representatives of the Underwriters.
The foregoing is a summary description of the Underwriting Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Underwriting Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the opinion of McGuireWoods LLP relating to the validity of the Shares issued in the offering is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
