Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
July 15, 2021, Dogness (International) Corporation (the “Company”) and certain institutional investors entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) in connection with an offering (the “Offering”), pursuant to which
the Company agreed to sell to investors an aggregate of 2,178,120 Class A Common Shares. The common share purchase price was $1.82 per
share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Class A Common Shares, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent (as defined
below) and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company will be approximately $3.96 million.
Under
the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed with each of the purchasers that, subject to certain exceptions, it will not, within the
ninety (90) days following the closing of the Offering (which period may be extended in certain circumstances), enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any equity security or equity-linked or related security.
The
Company has also agreed with each of the purchasers that until the first anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, it will not
effect or enter into an agreement to effect a “Variable Rate Transaction,” which means a transaction in which the Company:
|
●
|
issues
or sells any convertible securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or
varies with the trading prices of, or quotations for, of the Company’s common shares at any time after the initial issuance
of such convertible securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future
date after the initial issuance of such convertible securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly
or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Company’s common shares, other than pursuant to
a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
enters
into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit) whereby the Company or any subsidiary may sell securities
at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights).
|
The
Company has also agreed with each of the purchasers if the Company issues securities within the twelve (12) months following the date
of the Purchase Agreement, the purchasers shall have the right to purchase 35% of the securities on the same terms, conditions and price
provided for in the proposed issuance of securities.
The
Company has also agreed to indemnify each of the purchasers against certain losses resulting from its breach of any of its representations,
warranties, or covenants under agreements with each of the purchasers, as well as under certain other circumstances described in the
Purchase Agreement.
The
net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting placement agent fees and the estimated offering expenses borne by the
Company, are expected to be approximately $3.4 million. The Offering is expected to close on or before July 19, 2021. After giving effect
to the Offering, the Company will have 22,733,934 Class A and 9,069,000 Class B Common Shares outstanding.
The
Offering was effected as a takedown off the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-229505), which became
effective on February 13, 2019, pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In
connection with the Offering, on July 15, 2021, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”)
with FT Global Capital, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as the exclusive
placement agent on a best efforts basis in the Offering. The Placement Agent will be entitled to a cash fee of 8% of the gross proceeds
paid to the Company for the securities the Company sells in this Offering, reimbursement of expenses not to exceed $40,000, and indemnification
against specified liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Additionally, the Company shall issue to the Placement
Agent warrants (“Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase 174,249 Class A Common Shares, at an exercise price of $1.82 per
share. The Placement Agent Warrants shall expire three (3) years after issuance and shall have no anti-dilution protection other than
adjustments based on stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. With limited
exceptions, the Placement Agent has agreed it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate the Placement Agent Warrants or
the securities issuable thereunder for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of the commencement of sales in the Offering.
The
foregoing summaries of the terms of the form of Placement Agent Warrant and the Purchase Agreement are subject to, and qualified in their
entirety by, such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, and 10.1 respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Other
Events.
On
July 15, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
