Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 24, 2024, Airship AI, Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letter (the “Inducement Letter”) with its holder (the “Holder”) of its existing common stock warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,882,883 shares of its common stock (collectively, the “Existing Warrants”), to exercise its Existing Warrants at the existing exercise price of $2.65 per share, in exchange for the Company’s agreement to issue new common stock warrants to purchase 2,162,162 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $4.50 (the “Inducement Warrants”). The aggregate gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants is approximately $7,639,640, before deducting financial advisory fees. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Existing Warrants are registered for issuance pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-281333), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 29, 2024.
In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, the Holder received the Inducement Warrants in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Inducement Warrants have an exercise price of $4.50 per share, are immediately exercisable and will be exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.
The Inducement Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants offered in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. As part of the transaction, the Company has agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC within twenty days of the closing to register the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants.
In connection with the transaction described above, the Company entered into a financial advisory services agreement, dated December 24, 2024, with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay Roth for its services a cash fee of up to 6% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The Company issued the Existing Warrants pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act available under Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and intends to issue the Inducement Warrants pursuant to the same exemption or pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The description of the Inducement Warrants under Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference. The form of the Inducement Warrants is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
