Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 10, 2020, Aytu BioScience, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) (as amended and restated, the “Underwriting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, in an upsized firm commitment offering, 4,166,667 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to Wainwright at an offering price to the public of $6.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted Wainwright a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 625,000 shares of Common Stock at the same offering price to the public, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Company expects to receive net proceeds from the sale of the Shares, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $22.7 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The offering is expected to close on December 15, 2020, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Wainwright is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering. The Company will pay Wainwright an underwriting discount equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering and issue a warrant exercisable for 6.5% of the number of shares of common stock being sold in this offering (the “Underwriter Warrants”) and reimburse Wainwright for a non-accountable expense allowance of $40,000, up to $100,000 in legal fees and $12,900 for the clearing expenses. We have also agreed to pay Wainwright a management fee equal to 1% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the offering.

The exercise price per share of the Underwriter Warrants is $7.50 (equal to 125% of the public offering price per share for the shares of common stock sold in the offering) and the Underwriter Warrants have a term of five years from the date of effectiveness of the offering. The Underwriter Warrants will be exercisable immediately.

The sale of the Shares, including shares issuable the upon the exercise of the Underwriter Warrants (the “Underwriter Warrant Shares”), will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-239010), including a prospectus contained therein dated June 17, 2020, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement, dated December 10, 2020, relating to the offering.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company and also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and Wainwright against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

A copy of the opinion of Dorsey & Whitney LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares, the Underwriter Warrants and the Underwriter Warrant Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
