Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 17, 2019, Youngevity International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with The Benchmark Company, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, up to 282,207 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s 9.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), which includes 36,809 Shares subject to an option granted to the Underwriters for a period of 45 days to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $22.75 per Share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Offering”).
 
The gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares, before deducting the Underwriter’s discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $5.58 million (or approximately $6.42 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase the additional 36,809 Shares). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
 
The Shares will be issued in the Offering pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225053) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 18, 2018, and declared effective by the SEC on May 29, 2018, and the base prospectus included therein, as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on December 9, 2019, and a prospectus supplement, dated December 17, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on December 18, 2019. The Offering is expected to close on December 20, 2019, contingent upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
 
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
 
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
