Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 15, 2026, the registrant (“Laser Photonics” or the “Company”) entered into a warrant inducement agreement with the holders of existing Series A and Series B warrants to purchase up to 1,373,630 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Existing Warrants”) at an original exercise price of $3.40 per share as set forth in the Company’s S-1 registration statement (Registration No. 333-290875) declared effective on December 31, 2025. The Company has offered as an inducement to these warrant holders for exercising the Existing Warrants in cash at a reduced exercise price of $1.08 per share, the Company’s issuance of replacement warrants to these warrant holders through the issuance of Series A-3 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,373,630 shares of the Company’s common stock and Series A-4 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,373,630 shares of the Company’s common stock that have similar terms with the Series A and Series B warrants, other than a current exercise price of $1.08 per share and the terms discussed below. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 warrants are exercisable upon the approval date by the Company’s shareholders for the issuance of the shares underlying the warrants (the “Initial Exercise Date”). The Series A-3 warrants will expire five years after the later of (i) the Initial Exercise Date and (ii) the effective date of the S-1 registration statement that the Company must file to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series A-3 and Series A-4 warrants (the “Effective Date”), and the Series A-4 warrants will expire eighteen months after the later of (a) the Initial Exercise Date and (b) the Effective Date. The Company faces a cash penalty as provided in the warrant inducement agreement for a failure to meet the required dates for filing the S-1 registration statement and it being declared effective by the SEC as discussed below. The number of Series A warrants and Series B warrants to be exercised for cash are subject to beneficial ownership limitations of either 4.99% or 9.99% at the election of the Series A and Series B warrant holders. To the extent that the beneficial ownership limitations apply, the balance of any issuance of free trading shares of the Company’s common stock will be held in abeyance until notice from the warrant holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such beneficial ownership limitations, and those underlying shares of the Company’s common stock will be treated as having been prepaid, including the cash payment in full of the exercise price.
H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) served as exclusive placement agent for this transaction. Under the terms of its August 21, 2025, engagement agreement with the Company as amended on February 13, 2026, Wainwright has received a cash fee of 7.0% of the funds raised through the warrant inducement agreement and a placement agent warrant to Wainwright or its designees to purchase up to 96,154 shares of the Company’s common stock (equal to 7.0% of the Company’s shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the Existing Warrants) exercisable on or after the Initial Exercise Date for five years after the later of (i) the Initial Exercise Date and (ii) the Effective Date, at an exercise price of $1.35 per share, and reimbursement of Wainwright’s accountable expenses of up to $75,000 and clearing expenses of $15,950.
Under the terms of the warrant inducement agreement, the Company has received $1,483,520.40 and must file a registration statement within 30 days from the date of this agreement on Form S-1 to register the sale of the 2,747,260 shares of common stock underlying the Series A-3 and Series A-4 warrants and either 60 days or 90 days for the S-1 registration statement to be declared effective depending on whether it is reviewed or not by the SEC. In addition, the Company is prohibited (i) for 15 days from the closing of the warrant inducement agreement from issuing, entering into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of its common stock or common stock equivalents or filing any registration statement or any amendment or supplement to any existing registration statement, with certain exceptions, and (ii) for 12 months from the closing of the warrant inducement agreement from entering into any variable rate transaction, subject to an exception.
The foregoing descriptions of the warrant inducement agreement, Series A-3 warrants and the Series A-4 warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, forms of which are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
