Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 15, 2024, WiSA Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such purchasers (a) in a registered direct offering, 675,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, at an offering price of $3.61 per share, and (b) in a concurrent private placement, common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 675,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $3.48 per share (the “Warrant Shares”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2,437,000 (such offerings, the “Offerings”). The Offerings are expected to close on May 17, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

The Warrants will be exercisable upon issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of the Warrants. Once issued, the Warrants may be exercised, in certain circumstances, on a cashless basis pursuant to the formula contained in the Warrants. The holder of a Warrant may also effect an “alternative cashless exercise” on or after the date that stockholder approval is obtained for such “alternative cashless exercise” feature. In such event, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable in such alternative cashless exercise pursuant to any given notice of exercise electing to effect an alternative cashless exercise shall equal the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise and (y) 0.65.

 

Obligations under the Purchase Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to, among other things:

 

(a)

subject to certain exceptions, (i) not offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of its shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock until 30 days after the closing date of the Offerings, and (ii) not issue certain securities if the issuance would constitute a Variable Rate Transaction (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) for a period of six months from the closing date of the Offerings, in each case unless the Company is required to complete a financing prior to the applicable date in order to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements; and

 

	(b)	as soon as practicable (and in any event by June 14, 2024), file a registration statement on Form S-1 or another appropriate form providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days of the closing date of the Offerings, and keep such registration statement effective at all times until no purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof; and
	(c)	hold a meeting of stockholders of the Company for the purpose of approving the “alternative cashless exercise” feature in the Warrants, which meeting shall be held on or before September 30, 2024.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchasers and the Company agreed to amend the filing date deadline for the registration statement on Form S-1 to June 14, 2024 (originally May 30, 2024), for the resale by the purchasers of warrants issued in private placement transactions pursuant to those certain securities purchase agreements, dated as of March 26, 2024, April 17, 2024, April 19, 2024, April 26, 2024 and May 13, 2024.

 

 

Placement Agency Agreement

 

In connection with the Offerings, on May 15, 2024, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as placement agent on a “reasonable best efforts” basis in connection with the Offerings. The Company paid the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offerings. The Company reimbursed the Placement Agent $50,000 for expenses in connection with the Offerings.

 

Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, not to, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of its shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock until 30 days after the closing date of the Offerings.

 

The Placement Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement each contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, the Placement Agent, or the purchasers in the Offerings, as the case may be, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

The Shares to be issued in the registered direct offering were offered pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267211), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on September 1, 2022 and declared effective on September 13, 2022.

 

The Warrants (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) are not being registered under the Securities Act, and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K with respect to the Warrants and Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.
