Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Engagement Agreement

 

On March 6, 2024, AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Dawson James Securities, Inc. (“Dawson”) pursuant to which Dawson has agreed to serve, on an exclusive basis for a period of four months, as the sole placement agent for the Company, in connection with the offering of equity securities and equity-linked securities of the Company (the “Securities”), including any restructuring, exercise and/or conversion solicitation and/or renegotiating the terms of any warrants to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and the solicitation of exercise of any additional investment right with respect to Securities of the Company (each, an “Offering”).

 

Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company will pay a cash fee equal to $68,862.04 and issue to Dawson warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in the Offerings. These Placement Agent Warrants will have the same terms as any warrants included in any Offering except that such Placement Agent Warrants will have a five (5) year term, an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per share and will not include any anti-dilution protection provisions in connection with a subsequent equity issuance, or otherwise.

 

Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 26, 2022 (the “Original SPA”), as subsequently amended by the Series F SPA Amendment Agreement dated February 8, 2024 (the “Series F Amendment Agreement”, and together with the Original SPA, the “SPA”), with Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”), pursuant to which Alpha purchased 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series F 5% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Convertible Preferred”) and a warrant to purchase 5,212,510 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, Alpha had the right to purchase up to an aggregate of $25,000,000 stated value of the Series F Convertible Preferred and accompanying warrants (the “Additional Investment Right”), at a purchase price equal to the volume-weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) of the Company’s common stock for three trading days prior to the date Alpha gives notice to the Company that it will exercise its Additional Investment Right (the “Investor Notice”).

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 15, 2023, the Company entered into an Assignment, Waiver and Amendment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Alpha pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Alpha transferred and assigned to certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Assignees”), the rights and obligations to purchase up to $1,850,000 of Series F Convertible Preferred and accompanying warrants pursuant to the Additional Investment Right provided in the SPA (the “Assigned Rights”) and (ii) the SPA was amended so that the Assignees are party thereto and have the same rights and obligations thereunder as Alpha to the extent of the Assigned Rights.

 

On March 6, 2024, in connection with the Assigned Rights, the Company received Investor Notices from Alpha and the Assignees for the aggregate purchase of 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred convertible into 829,394 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.2057 and warrants to purchase up to 829,394 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) an exercise price of $1.2057 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a three-year term.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Original SPA, the Series F Amendment Agreement and the Assignment Agreement, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by references to the SPA filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2022, the Series F Amendment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 8, 2024, and the Assignment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 16, 2023, and incorporated by reference herein.

 

 
 

 

Warrant Exercise Agreement

 

On March 6, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with several institutional investors (“Investors”) holding warrants issued to such Investors pursuant a securities purchase agreement, dated as of June 5, 2023 in connection with a private placement (the “Existing Warrants”). The Exercise Agreement provides that for those Investors who exercise their Existing Warrants they will receive a reduction in the Exercise Price (as defined in the Existing Warrants) to $0.60 per share of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Existing Warrants were registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 File No. 333-273332 and declared effective on July 27, 2023. The Company will receive up to $497,700.60 from the exercise of the Existing Warrants.

 

As a result of the Exercise Agreement, the conversion price of the Series F Convertible Preferred was reduced to $0.60 per share.

 

The foregoing description of the Warrant Exercise Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Exercise Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference herein.

a) SEC Reports.

As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this letter agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, its board of directors or its shareholders in connection herewith. This letter agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
   
c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents; or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any liens, claims, security interests, other encumbrances or defects upon any of the properties or assets of the Company in connection with, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any material agreement, credit facility, debt or other material instrument (evidencing Company debt or otherwise) or other material understanding to which such Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected; or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect upon the business, prospects, properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company, taken as a whole, or in its ability to perform its obligations under this letter agreement.

The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
   
h) Subsequent Equity Sales.

 

(i) From the date hereof until April 6, 2024 (30) days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (A) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (B) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement to any existing registration statement (other than the Registration Statement, a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan, any registration statement in connection with a Subsequent Equity Sale that has been approved by a majority of the Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section (h)(i) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) Common Stock, options, restricted stock or restricted stock units to employees, consultants, contractors, advisors, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan or arrangement duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company, (b) warrants to the Placement Agent in connection with the transactions pursuant to this letter agreement (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) and any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this letter agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this letter agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the prohibition period in this Section (h)(i), and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind, for purposes of this Section (h)(i).

 

(ii) From the date hereof until one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any Subsidiary of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity 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 debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market offering”, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled; provided, however, that, following the restrictive period set forth in Section (h)(i), the entry into and/or issuance of shares of Common Stock in an “at the market” offering with the Placement Agent as sales agent, shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction. The Holder shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
