On May 17, 2022, Baudax Bio, Inc., (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), 1,646,091 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and, in a concurrent private placement, warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 1,646,091 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants,” and together with the Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, the “Securities”) at a combined offering price of $1.215 per share and associated warrant. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.09 per share. Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock and will be exercisable immediately upon issuance. The Warrants will have a term of five years from the issuance date.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about May 19, 2022, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company is expected to receive gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million in connection with the Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses.

As compensation to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) as placement agent in connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering, plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering and certain expenses. The Company will also issue to designees of the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the transactions, or warrants to purchase up to 98,765 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per share (or $1.5188 per share). The Placement Agent Warrants will expire on May 17, 2027.

The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the forms of such documents attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”), which are incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the opinion of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

Neither the issuance of the Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws.
