On April 27, 2021, Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which it issued and sold pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 461,538 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 or $3.25 per Warrant in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) on the same day. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses of the private placement will be approximately $1,350,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and certain indemnification obligations and ongoing covenants of the Company.

 

The Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised for no additional consideration subject to the limitation that a holder of a Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant if the holder together with its affiliates and attribution parties (as such terms are defined in the Warrants) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. The Warrants do not expire.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and as a condition to closing the Private Placement, the Company and each Investor simultaneously entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) requiring the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days of the closing of the Private Placement to register for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Warrants. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, certain liquidated damages provisions for failing to comply with the timing obligations for the filing and effectiveness of the registration statement, and certain customary indemnification obligations.

 

The foregoing is only a summary of the Warrants, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the agreements. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of Warrant, Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Company issued the securities described therein in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 506 of the Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In connection with the sale of the Warrants, the Company paid a fee of $105,000 in cash and issued 23,076 warrants to purchase common stock to Roth Capital Partners, LLC, who served as the placement agent in the Private Placement. Each such warrant represents the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at the price of $3.575 per share. Such warrants terminate on the fifth anniversary of the issue date. The Company issued the warrants in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On April 29, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Purchase agreement, the sale of the Warrants, and the Company’s preliminary unaudited operating results for its 2021 fiscal year ended March 27, 2021. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1

 

The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 is furnished and will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor will it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such document or filing.
