On
March 31, 2022, Iveda Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)
between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to the Company’s underwritten public offering
(the “Offering”) of 1,885,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per
share (the “Common Stock”) and accompanying warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an additional 1,885,000 shares
of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $4.25 per share of Common Stock and expire in five
years. The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261963), previously filed
with Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and subsequently declared effective by the SEC on March 31, 2022. A final prospectus relating
to the offering was filed with the SEC on April 4, 2022.
Pursuant
to the Underwriting Agreement, the public offering price was $4.25 per Share and Warrant combined, and the Underwriter purchased the
Shares and Warrants at an 8.0% discount to the public offering price. The Company granted the Underwriter the option to purchase, within
45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, an additional 279,700 shares of Common Stock at $4.24, the same price per
share as the Shares, and an additional 279,700 Warrants at $0.01 per Warrant (the “Over-Allotment Option”),
of which the Underwriter exercised a partial option on April 1, 2022 to purchase all 279,700 Warrants in the Over-Allotment Option
at $0.01 per Warrant.
The
Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing,
indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other
obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and related “lock-up”
agreements, the Company, each director and executive officer of the Company and certain significant stockholders of the Company have
agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter,
for a 180-day period, subject to certain limitations therein.
The
underwriter acted as sole book-running manager for the Offering and in addition to underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately
$641,000, plus reimbursement of counsel fees in the amount of $100,000. The Underwriter also received warrants to purchase shares of
Common Stock equal to 8.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”).
The Underwriters’ Warrants will be exercisable for a period commencing 180 days following the closing of the offering and ending
on the fifth anniversary of the closing date at an exercise price equal to $4.675 per share, or 110% of the offering price of the common
stock.
On
April 5, 2022, the Offering closed resulting in the Company selling a total of 1,885,000 shares of Common Stock, and 2,164,700 Warrants
sold including the exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option for 279,700 Warrants, for gross proceeds of $8,014,047,
before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds
of this Offering to provide funding for product development, marketing and business development, information technology upgrades and
working capital, as set forth in the prospectus.
The
Warrants were issued pursuant to a Warrant Agency Agreement entered into by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer
& Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent.
