Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 31, 2024, Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., (“we,” “our,” or the “Company”) entered into an inducement offer letter agreement (the “Inducement Letter”) with 9 holders (each, a “Holder”) of our existing Series B unit purchase warrants (“Series B Warrants”) and Series C unit purchase warrants (“Series C Warrants” and together with the Series B Warrants, the “Existing Warrants”), which warrants were originally issued on April 18, 2024 and had an exercise price of $0.60. Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, such warrant holders immediately exercised some or all of their respective outstanding Series B Warrants and C Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,698,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, Series B-1 common stock purchase warrants (“Series B-1 Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,673,000 shares of common stock and Series C-1 common stock purchase warrants (“Series C-1 Warrants” and together with the Series B-1 Warrants, the “Series Warrants”) to purchase up to 8,025,000 shares of common stock, at a reduced exercise price of $0.20. The Series Warrants are exercisable for term of 5 years from the initial exercise date at a reduced exercise price of $0.20. The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Existing Warrants are expected to be approximately $2.1 million in cash, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.
In consideration for the immediate exercise of some or all of the Existing Warrants for cash, the Company agreed to issue unregistered new Series D common stock purchase warrants (“New Series D Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,698,000 shares of common stock. The New Series D Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.30 per share, will be initially exercisable upon receipt of stockholder approvals as may be required by the rules of the NYSE American and will have a term of 66 months from the issuance date. The terms of the New Series D Warrants are substantially the same as the Series Warrants, with the exception of the difference in exercise period and exercise price.
We engaged Ladenburg Thalmann & Co, Inc. (“Ladenburg”) to provide exclusive financial services in connection with the transactions summarized above and we have agreed to pay Ladenburg a fee equal to 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the holder’s exercise of their Existing Warrants. In addition, we have also agreed to reimburse Ladenburg for its accountable legal expenses in connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Series D Warrants and pay Ladenburg a management fee of 1% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the holder’s exercise of their Existing Warrants. The issuance of the New Series D Warrants is expected to occur on June 3, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We expect to use the net proceeds from these transactions for general corporate purposes.
The shares of our common stock underlying the Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants and the Series Warrants have been registered pursuant to an existing registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No.: 333-276741) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2024.
Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, we also agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 providing for the resale of the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the New Series D Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”), within 6 months of the Closing Date, and to use its best efforts to have such Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the New Series D Warrants owns any New Series D Warrants or common stock underlying the New Series D Warrants.
In addition, we have also agreed not to (a)(i) for 30 days following the Closing Date, issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case other than the prospectus or the filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee compensation plan, subject to exceptions; and (b) enter into variable rate financing for a period of for the 6 months following the Closing Date, subject to exceptions.
The forms of the New Series D Warrants and Inducement Letter are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms of the New Series D Warrants, and Inducement Letter are not intended to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits. The Inducement Letter contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by us which were made only for the purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
