| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 16, 2024, Elutia Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (“Placement Agent”) and a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of (i) 3,175,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Company, and (ii) prefunded warrants (the “Prefunded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 725,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Prefunded Warrant Shares”). The public offering price for each share of Class A Common Stock was $3.40, and the public offering price for each Prefunded Warrant was $3.399. The Prefunded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Class A Common Stock, are exercisable immediately and will expire when exercised in full.
The Offering closed on June 18, 2024. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $13.26 million, before deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and expenses and other Offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Each of the Placement Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, each of the directors and officers of the Company, pursuant to lock-up agreements, agreed not to sell or transfer any of the Company securities which they hold, subject to certain exceptions, during the 90-day period following the closing of the Offering.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, from the date of such agreement until 90 days after the closing of the Offering, unless otherwise waived by either (a) purchasers of at least 50.1% in interest of the Prefunded Warrants based on the initial subscription amounts under the Purchase Agreement or (b) purchasers holding at least 50.1% in interest of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Prefunded Warrants offered in the Offering and outstanding at the time of the waiver, neither the Company nor any Company subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Class A Common Stock or Class A Common Stock equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement with respect thereto, subject to certain exceptions.
Subject to certain ownership limitations described in the Prefunded Warrants, the Prefunded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised for a nominal consideration of $0.001 per share of Class A Common Stock any time until all of the Prefunded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Prefunded Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, respectively, of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Prefunded Warrants. However, upon notice from the holder to the Company as described in the Purchase Agreement, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such election.
Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company paid the Placement Agent as compensation a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, plus reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees.
The Shares, the Prefunded Warrants, and Prefunded Warrant Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the registration statement on Form S-3 originally filed on August 31, 2022, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File No. 333-267197), and declared effective on September 8, 2022.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Prefunded Warrants is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Placement Agency Agreement, the form of Purchase Agreement and the form of Prefunded Warrant, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
The legal opinion, including the related consent, of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of Shares and the Prefunded Warrant Shares in the Offering and the enforceability of the Prefunded Warrants is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report.
