Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 17, 2020, XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), (i) 24,509,806 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 24,509,806 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and, together with the Shares, the “Securities”) at a combined offering price of $1.70 per share. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.70 per share. Each Warrant is immediately exercisable and will expire 24 months from the issuance date.

A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the holder’s option upon issuance, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise. However, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, a holder with a 4.99% ownership blocker may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding Common Stock after exercising the holder’s Warrant up to 9.99% of the number of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The closing of the Offering occurred on December 21, 2020. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $41.7 million in connection with the Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses.

Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated March 25, 2020, as amended on June 16, 2020 and December 17, 2020 (the “Engagement Letter”), the Company engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) as placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Securities. The Company agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering, plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering and reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees. Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company also issued to designees of the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 8.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the transactions, or warrants to purchase up to 1,960,784 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per share (or $2.125 per share). The Company also agreed to pay the Placement Agent $25,000 for non-accountable expenses, to reimburse the Placement Agent’s legal fees in an amount up to $40,000 and to pay $12,900 for the Placement Agent’s clearing fees. Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, the Placement Agent has the right, for a period of twelve months following the closing of the Offerings, to act (i) as financial advisor in connection with any merger, consolidation or similar business combination by the Company and (ii) as sole book-running manager, sole underwriter or sole placement agent in connection with certain debt and equity financing transactions by the Company.

The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the forms of such documents attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company is also issuing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 754,902 shares of Common Stock (“Palladium Warrants”) to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”), pursuant to a letter agreement with Palladium dated March 19, 2020 (the “Palladium Engagement Letter”) with Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”), pursuant to the terms of the Palladium Engagement Letter which provides that fees are payable to Palladium for any sale of the Company’s securities that occurs during the term or within 18 months thereafter to specified investors. The Palladium Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants.

The shares of Common Stock and Warrants in the Offering and the Placement Agent Warrants and Palladium Warrants are being offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-240084), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 24, 2020 and was declared effective by the Commission on August 5, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”). A copy of the opinion of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Securities in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities 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.
