Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 30, 2023, RenovoRx, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor (“Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (“Registered Direct Offering”) 1,000,000 shares (“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”), and purchase contracts issued as pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 557,632 shares of Common Stock, which Pre-Funded Warrants are issued to the extent that the Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or at the Purchaser’s election, 9.99%). The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and are immediately exercisable and can be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. Each Share is being sold at an offering price of $3.21 and each Pre-Funded Warrant is being sold at an offering price of $3.2099 (equal to the purchase price per Share minus the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrant).
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offerings”), the Company also agreed to issue to the Purchaser unregistered warrants (“Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,947,040 shares of Common Stock. Each Common Warrant has an exercise price of $3.21 per share, is exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will expire five and a half years from the original issuance date.
Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Offerings, pursuant to a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agreement”), dated March 30, 2023, by and between the Company and the Placement Agent.
We received aggregate proceeds, before deducting Placement Agent fees, in the amount of approximately $5.00 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offerings for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
The closing of the Offerings took place on April 3, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), subject to customary closing conditions. The Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants are being offered and sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268302) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 10, 2022 and declared effective on November 21, 2022. A prospectus supplement relating to the Registered Direct Offering was filed with the Commission on April 3, 2023. None of the Common Warrants or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrants are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Common Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof will be issued in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us and customary conditions to closing. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and subject to certain exceptions, we have agreed not to (i) enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, or (ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, for a period of 60 days following the closing of the Offerings. We have also agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, for a period of one year following the closing of the Offering, except that we may enter into an “at-the-market offering” six months after the closing of the Offerings.
In connection with the Offerings, we and each of our executive officers and directors have agreed, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the lock-up agreements, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position, with respect to, any shares of our Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our Common Stock, for 60 days from the closing of the Offerings.
Pursuant to the Placement Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offerings from sales arranged for by the Placement Agent. Subject to certain conditions, we also have agreed to reimburse all reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses of the Placement Agent in connection with the Offerings, including but not limited to legal fees, up to a maximum of $50,000. The Placement Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us and customary conditions to closing. We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the Placement Agreement, or to contribute to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
The foregoing descriptions of the Pre-Funded Warrant, Common Warrant, Placement Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Pre-Funded Warrant, Form of Common Warrant, Form of Placement Agreement and the Form of Securities Purchase Agreement, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
We note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to or in favor of any stockholder or potential stockholder of the Company other than the parties thereto. In addition, the assertions embodied in any representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements may be subject to qualifications with respect to knowledge and materiality different from those applicable to security holders generally. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made, except where expressly stated otherwise. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs at any time.
