Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On September 25, 2022, Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) providing for the sale to the Purchasers in a private placement financing (the “Private Placement”) of 2,264,650 units (collectively, the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.6 million (or $2.935 per Unit). The closing of the Private Placement occurred on September 28, 2022.
22NW Fund, LP, a fund affiliated with Aron English, a director of the Company and the second largest beneficial owner of Common Stock, participated in the Private Placement and purchased 1,703,577 Units at the per Unit purchase price, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million.
Each Common Warrant has an exercise price of $4.215 per share, which is subject to customary adjustments in the event of any combination or split of the Common Stock, and has a five-year term. The Common Warrants contain beneficial ownership limitations which prevent the holder from exercising the Common Warrants if immediately following such exercise the holder would beneficially own shares of Common Stock in excess of the stated beneficial ownership limitation.
MTS Securities, LLC (“MTS”) served as the placement agent in connection with the Private Placement, and the Company has agreed to pay MTS a fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement (except in the case of gross proceeds received from 22NW Fund, LP, in which case the fee is equal to 1% of such gross proceeds) plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to advance the development of ANEB-001 and for other general corporate purposes.
The securities issued to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement were offered in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Purchasers, including that the Purchasers are “accredited investors”, as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Appropriate legends were affixed to the shares of Common Stock and Common Warrants upon issuance.
The sale of the securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein or therein.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before November 2, 2022 to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock included in the Units and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the form of Warrant is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
On September 26, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the Private Placement. A copy of such press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
