ITEM 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 4, 2022, Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we” or “our”) closed a private placement transaction (the “Offering”) with certain “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (each an “Investor”). In connection with the Offering, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with each Investor pursuant to which we offered and sold to the Investors a total of 931,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $1.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $931,000. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock for general corporate purposes.

The Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, and cannot be offered or sold in the United States absent effective registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. For these shares, we are relying on the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and by Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated thereunder and on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

The Investors will have “piggyback” registration rights that will allow each Investor to elect to have the Common Stock that the Investor purchased in the Offering included in any underwritten public offering of equity securities we subsequently initiate. The Common Stock included in any underwritten public offering initiated by us will be subject to limitation based on the discretion of the underwriter of such offering.

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the document itself. A copy of the form of the Securities Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
