Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 9, 2021, Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 3,007,026 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, at an offering price of $4.27 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $12,840,000 before the deduction of fees and offering expenses.
The Shares are being offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233260) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2019, and declared effective by the SEC on November 19, 2019, including a prospectus contained therein, dated November 19, 2019, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement, dated February 9, 2021, relating to the Offering, and an additional registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252880) filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) related to the Shares.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”), the Company agreed to issue to the Purchasers, unregistered warrants to purchase up to 1,503,513 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and terminate five years following issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $4.90 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. A holder of Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.
Palladium Capital Group, LLC (“Palladium”) acted as an advisor in connection with this offering and is entitled to an advisory fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering and payment of non-accountable expenses equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering, totaling approximately $1.2 million, and a warrant to purchase 210,492 shares of our common stock (which equals 7% of the aggregate number of Shares sold in this Offering) at an exercise price of $4.90 per share (the “Palladium Warrant”). The Palladium Warrant will have terms identical in all material respects to the Warrants.
The Warrants, the Palladium Warrant and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and the Palladium Warrant (the “Palladium Warrant Shares”) are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are not being offered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
To induce the Purchasers into the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated February 9, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”), with the Purchasers, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 to register for resale of all of the Warrant Shares.
The closing of the Offering is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and is expected to occur on or about February 11, 2021. The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Purchasers, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting fees and expenses and the Company’s estimated offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants, are expected to be approximately $11.5 million. The Company currently intends to use these net proceeds for working capital purposes.
The legal opinion of Haynes and Boone, LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
