| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 8, 2021, Baudax Bio, Inc., (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), 11,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an offering price of $1.60 per Share.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on February 10, 2021. The Company is expected to receive gross proceeds of approximately $17.6 million in connection with the Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses.
As compensation to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) as placement agent in connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering, plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering and reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees. The Company will also issue to designees of the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, or warrants to purchase up to 660,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). Each Placement Agent Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants is equal to 125% of the offering price per Share (or $2.00 per share). The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon approval by the Company’s board of directors and shareholders of an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock.
The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agent Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the forms of such documents attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”), which are incorporated herein by reference.
The Shares in the Offering and the Placement Agent Warrants were offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-243488), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2020 and was declared effective by the Commission on October 2, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”). A copy of the opinion of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares and the Placement Agent Warrants in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
