Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 4, 2026, DSS, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), which provided for the issuance and sale by the Company and the purchase by the underwriter, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”), of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.02 par value per share. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the shares were sold at a public offering price of $1.00 per share, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the Offering are approximately $0.7 million after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this Offering to general corporate and working capital needs. The Company also granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 135,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms and conditions for the purpose of covering any over-allotments in connection with the Offering.
The Offering closed on February 5, 2026, and was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281974), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 5, 2024, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act). A final prospectus describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the SEC on February 4, 2026, and is available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, customary conditions for closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, and termination and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. The Company and all of the Company’s executive officers and directors have also agreed not to sell or transfer any securities of the Company held by them for a period of forty-five (45) days from the date of the Offering, subject to limited exceptions.
The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
