Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Placement Agent Engagement
On August 8, 2019, NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a placement agency agreement (the "Placement Agency Agreement") with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the "Placement Agent"). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of (i) an aggregate of 4,198,566 shares (the "Common Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") and (ii) unregistered Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,198,566 shares of Common Stock (the "Common Warrants", and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the "Warrant Shares"). The Company will (i) pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds generated from the sale of the Common Shares and the Warrants, (ii) issue to the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 167,942 shares of the Common Stock, which represent 4% of the Common Shares sold in this offering, with an exercise price of 125% of the public offering price per Common Share, and (iii) reimburse the Placement Agent for certain of its expenses in an amount not to exceed $60,000, each pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the sale of the Common Shares and the Warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Placement Agent is not acting as placement agent in connection with the Preferred Private Placement (as defined below).
The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
Registered Direct Offering and Warrant Private Placement
The offering of the Common Shares (the "Registered Direct Offering") is being made pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-232860), including the base prospectus contained therein and the prospectus supplement dated August 8, 2019.
On August 8, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "RD Purchase Agreement") with the purchasers of the Common Shares. The RD Purchase Agreement provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 4,198,566 Common Shares, at an offering price of $1.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $4.2 million before deducting the Placement Agent's fees and related offering expenses. The RD Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The RD Purchase Agreement also provides for a concurrent private placement (the "Warrant Private Placement") of Common Warrants that will be issued to the purchasers in the Registered Direct Offering, who were also accredited investors. The Common Warrants will be exercisable six months after their issuance, for an aggregate of 4,198,566 shares of Common Stock. For each Common Share purchased in the Registered Direct Offering, the purchasers will receive a Common Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Common Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.15 per share and will expire five and a half years after their issuance. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of a Common Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Common Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of a holder prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"); provided, however, that upon prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided further that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99% and any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to us. Pursuant to the terms of the RD Purchase Agreement, the purchasers of the Common Warrants will be entitled to certain registration rights that provide for the Company to file a registration statement on behalf of the holders of the Warrants within 90 calendar days of the date of the RD Purchase Agreement and requires the Company to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within six months of the date of the RD Purchase Agreement, that will provide for the resale of the Warrant Shares.
The Registered Direct Offering and the Warrant Private Placement are expected to close on August 13, 2019, following the satisfaction of certain closing conditions specified in the Placement Agency Agreement and RD Purchase Agreement.
The Placement Agency Agreement, form of RD Purchase Agreement and form of Common Warrant are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The above descriptions of the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, RD Purchase Agreement and Common Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.
Concurrent
Preferred Private Placement
In addition to the Registered Direct Offering and the Warrant Private Placement, on August 8, 2019, the Company entered into an additional securities purchase agreement (the "PIPE Purchase Agreement") for the sale to accredited investors of (i) 2,700,000 shares of the Company's Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") that will automatically convert into 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares"), at a ratio of 1:1, upon the approval of the Company's stockholders following such issuance and (ii) Common Stock purchase warrants (the "Preferred Warrants") exercisable for 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price for such securities of $2.7 million (the "Preferred Private Placement"). For each Conversion Share that may be received upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the purchasers will receive a Preferred Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Preferred Warrants have the same terms as the Common Warrants issued in the Warrant Private Placement, except that the Preferred Warrants are not exercisable until approval of the conversion of the Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock is obtained from the Company's stockholders. The purchasers of the Preferred Stock and the Preferred Warrants will be entitled to certain registration rights that provide for the Company to file a registration statement on behalf of the holders the Conversion Shares and the Preferred Warrants that will provide for the resale of the Conversion Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Warrants. The Preferred Private Placement is expected to close on August 13, 2019, following the satisfaction of certain closing conditions specified in the PIPE Purchase Agreement. Among these closing conditions will be the creation by the Company of the new series of Preferred Stock, which will be accomplished pursuant to the filing of a Certificate Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation"). The Certificate of Designation will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State prior to the closing of the Preferred Private Placement.
The purchasers in the Preferred Private Placement include Hai Dong Pang, who has agreed to purchase Preferred Stock convertible to 800,000 Conversion Shares and Preferred Warrants exercisable for 800,000 shares of Common Stock, Xiao Rui Liu, who has agreed to purchase Preferred Stock convertible to 400,000 Conversion Shares and Preferred Warrants exercisable for 400,000 shares of Common Stock, and Ping Huang, who has agreed to purchase Preferred Stock convertible to 1,500,000 Conversion Shares and Preferred Warrants exercisable for 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Purchasers"). China Kington Asset Management Co. Ltd. (the "China Kington") has agreed to serve as placement agent for the Preferred Private Placement in exchange for a commission equal to six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company upon the closing of the Preferred Private Placement.
