Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 10, 2025, Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”), an aggregate of 4,724,412 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $6.35 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Registered Direct Offering are expected to be approximately $30 million, before deducting the placement agents’ fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Registered Direct Offering is expected to close on April 11, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering for general corporate purposes, including for working capital.
The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreements and as of the specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, from the date of the Purchase Agreement until thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. In addition, until thirty (30) days from the Closing Date, the Company is prohibited from entering into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to certain limited exceptions.
Each of our executive officers and directors have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock during the period from the date of the lock-up agreement continuing through the thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.
In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Northland Securities, Inc.
