Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 3, 2025, Freight Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a private placement with certain investors, wherein a total of 1,540,832 Series A4 preferred shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), with each investor receiving 770,416 Preferred Shares, for a total purchase price of approximately $3,000,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering raised net cash proceeds of approximately $2.9 million (after deducting the transfer agent and legal fees and expenses of the Offering). The Company intends to use the net cash proceeds from the Offering for working capital and corporate purposes. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgins Islands on January 31, 2025 (the “Amended and Restated M&A”), each Preferred Share is immediately convertible on the date of issuance, by dividing the respective Series A Reference Price (as defined in the Amended and Restated M&A) of such Preferred Share by the applicable conversion price (the “Preferred Shares Conversion Price”) at the option of the shareholder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the shareholder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares, with no par value per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated M&A, the Preferred Shares Conversion Price shall be the greater of (i) the lowest daily VWAP (as defined in the Amended and Restated M&A) of the Ordinary Shares in the seven (7) consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the Amended and Restated M&A) period immediately preceding the date of the conversion of the applicable Preferred Share and (ii) the Series A4 Conversion Price Floor (as defined in the Amended and Restated M&A).
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the investors containing customary representations and warranties. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company will be required to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register for resale the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, no later than March 30, 2025, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective at the as soon as possible thereafter, but in any event no later than 90 days of the Closing Date (as defined under the Purchase Agreement). The Company will be obliged to pay certain liquidated damages to the investors if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to file or cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The maximum amount of such liquidated damages payable shall not exceed 20% of the aggregate reference price of the Preferred Shares sold hereunder.
The Offering was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each of the investors represented that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and was acquiring the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by the Company or its representatives.
The Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibit.
