Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 5, 2020, Simulations Plus, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) by the Company, and the purchase by the Underwriters, of 1,818,182 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Firm Shares”). In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters were granted an option, exercisable within 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 272,727 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Option Shares” and, together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”), on the same terms and conditions.

 

The offering price to the public was $55.00 per share and the Underwriters agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $52.0025 per share. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make due to any such liabilities.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are approximately $107.78 million which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 272,727 shares of common stock. The Offering closed on August 10, 2020.

 

This Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 239770) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2020, which became automatically effective under Rule 462(e), (the “Registration Statement”), a base prospectus dated July 9, 2020 (the “Base Prospectus”), a preliminary prospectus supplement dated August 4, 2020 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and a prospectus supplement dated August 5, 2020. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company and certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter and subject to certain negotiated exceptions, they will not, for a period of 90 days, in either case, following the date of the final Prospectus, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s securities held by them.

 

The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Underwriting Agreement attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

A copy of the opinion of Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
