Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On December 28, 2021, ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through the Sales Agent, shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0005 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. The Company has filed a prospectus supplement to its registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-260848) offering the Shares. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of the Shares under the Sales Agreement, and the Company will not, without the further approval of its board of directors, sell the Shares at a price less than $14.00 per Share.
Under the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell the Shares in sales deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on or through The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other existing trading market for the Company’s Common Stock, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law. The Company may instruct the Sales Agent not to sell the Shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by the Company from time to time.
The offering pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of the Shares subject to the Sales Agreement and (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. The Company may terminate the Sales Agreement in its sole discretion at any time by giving three business days’ prior notice to the Sales Agent. The Sales Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement under the circumstances specified in the Sales Agreement and in its sole discretion at any time by giving three business days’ prior notice to the Company.
The Company will pay the Sales Agent a fixed commission rate of 2.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement and has agreed to provide the Sales Agent with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company also agreed to reimburse the actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses of the Sales Agent up to $60,000 (of which a $25,000 advance was paid on December 7, 2021), which amount will include the fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Sales Agent up to $50,000, and to pay the costs associated with bound volumes of the public offering materials as well as commemorative mementos and lucite tombstones, in an amount not to exceed $3,000.
Additionally, the Company will pay to H.C. Wainwright & Co. (“Wainwright”), a fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price of all the shares sold under the Sales Agreement, pursuant to a separate financial services agreement with Wainwright. Wainwright is not a sales agent under the Sales Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The opinion of Reed Smith LLP, the Company’s counsel, regarding the legality of the Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Sales Agreement is also filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
