Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 9, 2021, iMedia Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”) relating to the public offering, issuance and sale of 4,830,918 shares of its common stock (the “Offering”). The public offering price of each share of common stock is $9.00. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 724,638 shares of common stock at the public offering price. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 14, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The gross proceeds to the Company, before deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding any exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock, are expected to be approximately $43.5 million. The Company anticipates using the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions of businesses and assets that are complementary to its operations.
The Underwriting Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company, its directors and officers and certain of its stockholders agreed, for a period of 90 days, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of the common stock and other of the Company’s securities that they beneficially own, including securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of common stock, without the prior written consent of the Representative.
The Offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on July 14, 2020 and declared effective by the Commission on July 27, 2020 (File No. 333-239857), a base prospectus included as part of the registration statement, and a preliminary prospectus supplement, dated June 9, 2021, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The Company is filing as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K an opinion of its counsel, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, regarding the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities sold in the Offering.
