Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 6, 2020, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Abbhi Investments, LLC (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a public offering, directly to the Purchaser (the “Registered Direct Offering”), 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00005 per share (the “Common Stock”). The purchase price per share for the Common Stock is $8.00 for a total purchase price of $10,000,000. In connection therewith, the Company also agreed to issue the Purchaser a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share, with an expiration date of the third anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Warrant”).

 

The closing of the Registered Direct Offering is expected to take place on or before March 6, 2020. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing.

 

The net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $10.0 million, after deducting estimated expenses payable by the Company associated with the Registered Direct Offering. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering to fund its operations, which includes, but is not limited to, advancing the Company’s clinical programs, commercial production of the investigational therapeutic NurOwn® (whether for ALS or other indications), regulatory, pre-marketing and commercialization preparation activities of NurOwn® for ALS, working capital and general corporate purposes.
