Entry into
a Material Definitive Agreement
Private Placement of Common Stock
On July 15, 2016, Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 2,100,001, shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the "Common Stock") at a purchase price of $0.75 per share. Taglich Brothers, Inc. served as placement agent for the transaction. The gross proceeds to the Company at the closing of this private placement were $1,575,001.
The shares of Common Stock issued in the transaction are restricted securities and may be sold only pursuant to Rule 144 or in another transaction exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock purchased in the transaction in the event the Company files a registration statement, with certain limited exceptions.
The Company entered into a Placement Agreement (the "Placement Agreement") with Taglich Brothers dated July 8, 2016. Pursuant to the Placement Agreement, as compensation for acting as placement agent, in connection with the initial closing, the Company paid Taglich Brothers a cash payment of $126,000
and issued to Taglich Brothers, or its designees, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 210,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.92 per share. The warrants are exercisable starting on the sixth-month anniversary of initial closing date, provide the holders piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants and contain a cashless exercise provision. Mr. Michael Taglich and Mr. Robert Taglich, current members of the Company's Board of Directors, are principals of Taglich Brothers.
Conversion of 10% Secured Subordinated Convertible Notes
On June 17, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment #2 to 10% Secured Subordinated Convertible Notes (the "Amendment") to certain convertible promissory notes (the "Notes") with the holders of the Notes (each, a "Lender" and collectively the "Lenders") issued by the Company
pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Lenders, dated as of September 30, 2013, amended on November 6, 2013 and as further amended on December 21, 2015 (the "Purchase Agreement"). At that time, Lenders holding Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $570,000 elected to convert their Notes into 760,004 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Since that time, Lenders holding the aggregate principal amount of $957,500 have elected to convert Notes into 1,276,671 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
