Entry into Material Definitive Agreements in Connection with a Registered Direct Offering.

 

On February 22, 2021, ZK International Group Co., Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with several accredited investors (the “Investors”) providing for an aggregate investment of $4,599,983.50 by the Investors for the issuance by the Company to them of (i) 1,295,770 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”); (ii) first registered investor warrants, with a term of five (5) years exercisable immediately upon issuance, to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,295,770 ordinary shares (the “First Registered Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder (the “First Registered Warrants”); and (iii) second registered investor warrants, with a term of five (5) years exercisable immediately upon issuance, to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,295,770 ordinary shares (the “Second Registered Warrant Shares” and collectively with the First Registered Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $4.50 per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder (the “Second Registered Warrants” and collectively with the First Registered Warrants, the “Warrants”). Holders of the Warrants may exercise them by paying the applicable cash exercise price or, if there is not an effective registration statement for the sale of the Warrant Shares at the time of exercise, by exercising on a cashless basis pursuant to the formula provided in the Warrants. The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the “Securities.”

   

The Company is registering the Securities in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Offering”), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s currently effective registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-230860), which was initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2019, and was declared effective on April 29, 2019 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company expects to file the prospectus supplement for the Registered Offering on or about February 23, 2021. 

  

The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about February 24, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Investors and customary rights and obligations of the parties thereto. The Investors have previously invested in securities of the Company or otherwise had pre-existing relationships with the Company; the Company did not engage in general solicitation or advertising with regard to the issuance and sale of the Securities. The Investors represented that they are accredited investors and purchased the Securities for investment and not with a view to distribution.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the First Registered Investor Warrants and the Second Registered Investor Warrants, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, the forms of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, and 4.2, respectively, to this report on Form 6-K, and which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. The Company will file the opinion of its BVI counsel, Mourant Ozannes, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Securities as Exhibit 5.1, in a separate Form 6-K upon the closing of the Offering.

 

This Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express the Company’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements related to the Company’s future activities, or future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by its management. These statements are not guarantees of future performances and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended September 30, 2020, and in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 6-K, except as required by law.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to the Registered Offering will be available on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.
