Securities Purchase Agreements

 

On August 1, 2025, Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor to purchase the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 (the “Total Commitment Amount’) or (ii) the Exchange Cap, which shall be the number of shares not to exceed 19.99% of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding on August 1, 2025, unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap, upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, an effective registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to the Investor Common Stock at a per share purchase price equal to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the applicable period as calculated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, multiplied by 95%. The Agreement shall terminate at the earlier of the first anniversary of the Purchase Agreement, the date the Investor shall have purchased shares of Common Stock equal to the Total Commitment Amount, or as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The proceeds from the sales by the Company to the Investor shall be used by the Company in the manner as will be set forth in the Prospectus included in any Registration Statement (and any post-effective amendment thereto) and any Prospectus supplement thereto filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The Common Stock is being offered pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.

 

Registration Rights Agreement
