Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 26, 2023, SKYX Platforms Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an “at the market offering” (ATM) Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with The Benchmark Company, LLC, as agent (“Benchmark”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Shares”), through or to Benchmark as its sales agent or principal.
The offer and sale of the Shares will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271698) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 5, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on May 12, 2023, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated May 26, 2023 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the “Prospectus Supplement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, the Company may offer and sell up to a maximum of $20.0 million Shares.
Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, Benchmark may sell the Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act or any other method permitted by law, including in negotiated transactions, block trades and bought sales. Sales of the Shares, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with Benchmark. Benchmark will receive a commission from the Company of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of any Shares sold under the Sales Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse certain expenses incurred by Benchmark in connection with the offering.
The Company is not obligated to sell, and Benchmark is not obligated to buy or sell, any Shares under the Sales Agreement. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of Shares that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place. Benchmark will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company or Benchmark may suspend or terminate the offering upon notice to the other party and subject to other conditions.
The above description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the opinion of Thompson Hine LLP relating to the validity of the Shares that may be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement is filed herewith 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 jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
