Entry
Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On
July 22, 2022, Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered
into a securities purchase agreement (the “Registered Direct
Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor for
the purchase and sale of 116,500 shares of the Company’s common
stock (“Common Stock”), pre-funded warrants to purchase up to
258,500 shares of Common Stock (the “RD Pre-Funded Warrants”), and
unregistered preferred investment options (the “RD Preferred
Investment Options”) to purchase up to 375,000 shares of Common
Stock (the “RD Offering”). The combined purchase price for one
share of Common Stock and associated RD Preferred Investment Option
is $8.00 and for a RD Pre-Funded Warrant and associated RD
Preferred Investment Option is $7.9999. The RD Preferred Investment
Options have an exercise price of $7.78 per share, are immediately
exercisable, and will expire five and one-half years from the date
of issuance. Shares of Common Stock and RD Pre-Funded Warrants
issued in the RD Offering were offered pursuant to a “shelf”
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-257690) previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
July 2, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC on July 9, 2021, and
a prospectus supplement, dated July 22, 2022, to the shelf
registration statement, filed with the SEC on July 26, 2022. The
gross proceeds from RD Offering was approximately
$3,000,000.
Concurrently
with the RD Offering, the Company entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “PIPE Securities Purchase Agreement”) with
institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 116,000 shares
of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 509,000
shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”), and
preferred investment options (the “PIPE Preferred Investment
Options”) to purchase up to 625,000 shares of the Common Stock in a
private placement (the “PIPE”). The combined purchase price for one
share of Common Stock and associated PIPE Preferred Investment
Option is $8.00 and for a PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant and associated
PIPE Preferred Investment Option is $7.9999. The PIPE Preferred
Investment Options have an exercise price of $7.78 per share, are
immediately exercisable, and will expire five and one-half years
from the date of issuance. The gross proceeds from the PIPE was
approximately $5,000,000.
Under
a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”) with the investors in both offerings, the Company is
required to file a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of (i) the
shares of the Common Stock issued in the PIPE, the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants and
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Preferred
Investment Options, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying
RD Preferred Investment Options, within 15 days of the date of the
Registration Rights Agreement and to use best efforts to have the
registration statement declared effective as promptly as practical,
and in any event within 45 days or within 75 days in the event of a
full review by the SEC.
In
connection with the RD Offering and the PIPE, the Company entered
into Warrant Amendment Agreements (the “Warrant Amendments”) with
the investors in both offerings to amend certain existing warrants
to purchase up to an aggregate of 122,000 shares of Common Stock
that were previously issued to the investors, with an exercise
price of $27.50 per share and expiration date of February 15, 2027.
Pursuant to the Warrant Amendments, the previously issued warrants
were amended, effective upon the closing of the offerings, so that
the amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $7.78 per
share and expire five and one-half years following the closing of
the offerings.
The
RD Offering and the PIPE closed on July 26, 2022.
The
Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the offerings
for general working capital purposes.
H.C.
Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) acted as the exclusive
placement agent for the RD Offering and the PIPE, pursuant to the
engagement letter with the Company, dated as of July 11, 2022. Upon
closing of the offerings, the Company paid Wainwright a cash
transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds to us
from the offerings and reimbursement of certain expenses. The
Company also issued Wainwright preferred investment options to
purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Wainwright Warrants”).
The preferred investment options issued to Wainwright have
substantially the same terms as the RD Preferred Investment Options
and the PIPE Preferred Investments Options, except that
Wainwright’s preferred investment options have an exercise price of
$10.00 per share and will expire five years after the commencement
of sales of the offerings.
The
legal opinion of Haynes and Boone, LLP relating to the legality of
the issuance and sale of the securities in the RD Offering is
attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K.
