Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 23, 2021, Grove, Inc. (the “Company” or “us” or “we”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, as representative of the underwriters named on Schedule I thereto, relating to the Company’s firm commitment underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 2,200,000 shares of Common Stock to the underwriters at a public offering price of $5.00 per share (the “Offering Price”), and granted the Representative a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 330,000 additional shares of Common Stock, equivalent to 15% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (the “Option”), pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-255266) (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides that the Company will indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. In exchange for the underwriters’ services, the Company agreed to (i) sell the Common Stock to the underwriters at a purchase price of $4.60 for investors brought through the efforts of the Underwriters and $4.75 per share for investors who have not been brought in by the Underwriters, and (ii) issue the Representative (or its designees) a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Representative’s Warrant”) representing 2% of the shares sold in the Offering.

 

The Offering closed on June 28, 2021, and the Company sold 2,530,000 shares of Common Stock to the underwriters, which includes 330,000 shares sold upon the full exercise of the Option, for total gross proceeds of approximately $12.65 million. After deducting the underwriting commissions, discounts, and offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $11.3865 million.

 

The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On June 28, 2021, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued the Representative’s Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,600 shares of Common Stock. The Representative’s Warrant may be exercised beginning on December 21, 2021 until June 24, 2026. The initial exercise price of Representative's Warrant is $6.25 per share, which represents 125% of the Offering Price.

 

The foregoing summary of the Representative’s Warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Representative’s Warrant, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
