  Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 20, 2021, Datasea, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors an aggregate of 2,436,904 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $3.48.per share (the “Shares”). The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239183), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2020.

 

Concurrently with the sale of the Shares, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company also sold warrants to purchase 1,096,608 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) to such investors in a concurrent private placement. The Company sold the Shares and the Warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $8,480,426, before commissions and expenses (the “Offering”). Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, the Warrants will be immediately exercisable at an exercise price equal to $4.48 per share, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the Warrants, and will terminate on the two and one-half year year anniversary following the initial exercise date of the Warrants.

 

The closing of the sales of these securities under the Purchase Agreement took place on July 22, 2021.

 

The net proceeds from the transactions were approximately $7,636,796, after deducting certain fees due to the placement agent and the Company’s estimated transaction expenses, and will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, and for the repayment of debt.

 

The Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants were sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

 

On July 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with FT Global Capital, Inc., as exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent has agreed to act as placement agent on a reasonable “best efforts” basis in connection with the above offering. The Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and the Warrants in this offering. The Company has also agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in this offering, which warrants will have an exercise price of $3.96 per share (120% of the purchase price per Share) and will terminate on the two and one-half-year anniversary of the closing of the offering. The Company also agreed to extend certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to the Placement Agent warrants, and to reimburse the Placement Agent up to $20,000 for travel, due diligence or related expenses, and additional $30,000 for legal expenses.
