Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 8, 2020, Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), closed a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of (i) an aggregate of 2,275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Shares”), and (ii) unregistered warrants, with a term of 5.5 years, to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,275,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $2.55 per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder (the “Warrants”), which Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and on a cashless basis if the Warrants have not been registered 6 months after the date of issuance, for gross proceeds of $5,801,250, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this Offering for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, and other general corporate purposes, including investments in sales and marketing in the United States and internationally.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 5, 2020 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on June 4, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with several accredited investors (“Investors”) providing for the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s currently effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233433), which was initially filed with the SEC on August 23, 2019 and was declared effective on September 6, 2019 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company filed the prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC on June 5, 2020. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants were issued to the Investors in a concurrent private placement transaction pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The Offering was conducted pursuant to a placement agency agreement, dated June 4, 2020, between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”). The Company paid the Placement Agent a fee equal to 8% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors placed by the Placement Agent and certain expenses.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express the Company’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements related to the Company’s future activities, or future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by its management. These statements are not guarantees of future performances and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by law.
