Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 5, 2021, American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated (the “Closing”) the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement, dated as of November 2, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the buyer set forth on the signature page thereto (the “Buyer”), as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 3, 2021 (the “Prior 8-K”).
At the Closing, the Company issued to the Buyer, in addition to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), (i) a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as described below (the “Series A Warrant”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrant” and, collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrant each is immediately exercisable at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). The Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant will expire on November 5, 2026 and November 5, 2023, respectively. Commencing on November 15, 2021, the Company will have the right to force the Buyer to exercise the Series B Warrant in the event shares of Common Stock trade at or above $2.40 per share for a period of five consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions. Initially, the Series A Warrant is only exercisable for 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, but upon any exercise of the Series B Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrant will be increased by the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Series B Warrant.
Also at the Closing, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Buyer. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the SEC within 30 days following the Closing a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”), and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as soon as practicable. If the registration statement is not filed within 30 days after the Closing or is not declared effective by the applicable deadline set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or under certain other circumstances described in the Registration Rights Agreement, then the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Buyer an amount in cash equal to 1% of the Buyer’s “Effective Purchase Price” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) until the applicable event giving rise to such payments is cured, subject to a cap of 10% of the Buyer’s Effective Purchase Price. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company is obligated to file additional registration statements under certain circumstances, and provides the Buyer with customary “piggyback” registration rights.
The foregoing summary provides only a brief description of the Series A Warrant, the Series B Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the issuance of the Series A Warrant is incorporated herein by reference. The Series A Warrant and underlying shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Securities”) have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Company is relying on the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and by Rule 506 of Regulation D, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. No form of general solicitation or general advertising was conducted in connection with the issuance. The Series A Securities contain (or will contain, where applicable) restrictive legends preventing the sale, transfer, or other disposition of such securities, unless registered under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The disclosure contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, and is made only as required under applicable rules for filing current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
