Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Unit Offering
On September 30, 2024, AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company in a public offering (the “Offering”) of 26,899,996 units (the “Units”), consisting of common units (“Common Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share, one Series A warrant (“Series A Warrant”) to purchase one share of common stock and one Series B warrant (“Series B Warrant”) to purchase one share of common stock and pre-funded Units (the “Pre-Funded Units” and together with the Common Units, the “Units”), with each Pre-Funded Unit consisting of one pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock, one Series A Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one Series B Warrant to purchase one share of common stock.
The purchase price of each Common Unit was $0.24, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $0.239, less Placement Agent fees and commissions.
The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. Each Series A Warrant is immediately exercisable on the date of issuance at an exercise price of the public offering price of the Units, or pursuant to an alternate cashless exercise option, and expires five years from the closing date of the offering. Each Series B Warrant is immediately exercisable on the date of issuance at an exercise price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the public offering price of the Units, and expires five years from the closing date of the offering.
Under the alternate cashless exercise option of the Series A Warrants, a holder of the Series A Warrant, has the right to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cash exercise of the Series A Warrant and (y) 2.0. In addition, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants contain a reset of the exercise price to a price equal to the lesser of (i) the then exercise price and (ii) the lowest volume weighted average price for the five trading days immediately preceding and immediately following the date the Company effects a reverse stock split in the future with a proportionate adjustment to the number of shares underlying the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. Finally, with certain exceptions, the Series B Warrants provide for an adjustment to the exercise price and number of shares underlying the Series B Warrants upon the Company’s issuance of its common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share that is less than the exercise price of the Series B Warrant.
Under NYSE American listing rules, the alternative cashless exercise option in the Series A Warrants and certain anti-dilution provisions in the Series B Warrants described above, will not be effective until, and unless, the Company obtains the approval of its shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain the shareholder approval, the foregoing provisions will not become effective and the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants will have substantially less value.
Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants does not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, such limit may be increased to up to 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit is equal to the price per Common Unit minus $0.001, and the remaining exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equals $0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable (subject to the beneficial ownership cap) and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.
The shares of common stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants described above, were offered by the Company pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-281897), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2024.
The closing of the Offering occurred on October 1, 2024.
The Company engaged the Placement Agent as the Company’s sole placement agent for the Offering pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Company also agreed to pay the Placement Agent 0.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Offering, plus reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees up to $215,000. The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Placement Agency Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of a specific date, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
