Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 29, 2024, Better Choice Company Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Underwriter”), for an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 639,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a public offering price of $3.00 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,028,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a public offering price of $2.99 per Pre-Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,990,720.00 prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock, at the public offering price per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed that for a period of 90 days from July 29, 2024 (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Company will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (iii) complete any offering of debt securities of the Company, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of capital stock of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (a) the shares of Common Stock to be sold under the Underwriting Agreement, (b) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of a stock option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date of the Underwriting Agreement, provided that such options, warrants, and securities have not been amended since the date of the Underwriting Agreement, or (c) the issuance by the Company of stock options or shares of capital stock of the Company under any equity compensation plan of the Company, provided that in each of (b) and (c) above, the underlying shares shall be restricted from sale during the entire Lock-Up Period.

 

The Underwriting Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company, including an expense reimbursement obligation not to exceed $150,000. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

As an inducement for the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, our officers and directors entered into “lock-up” agreements. Pursuant to these lock-up agreements, such persons agreed that for a period of 90 days following the closing of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions as specified in such agreements, they will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of or hedge any of our shares of Common Stock, any options, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of our Common Stock. Holders of approximately 273,676 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock are subject to such lock-up agreement.

 

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement (which includes the form of lock-up agreement) is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the lock-up agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

 

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

The Commission declared the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280714) relating to Offering effective at 5:30 p.m. on July 29, 2024. The Company issued a press release on July 29, 2024 announcing the pricing of the Offering. A final prospectus relating to the Offering was filed with the Commission (“Prospectus”) on July 31, 2024.

 

The Offering closed on July 31, 2024. In the Offering, the Company sold 639,000 shares of the Common Stock at a public offering price of $3.00 per share and 1,028,000 Pre-Funded Warrants at a public offering price of $2.99 per Pre-Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,990,720.00 prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. The Company issued a press release on July 31, 2024 announcing the closing of the Offering.
