Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 21, 2014, Dehaier Medical Systems Limited (the “Company”) and certain institutional investors entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) in connection with an offering (the “Offering”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 734,700 common shares and warrants to initially purchase an aggregate of 220,410 common shares. The purchase price is $9.12 per common share, and the warrants are initially exercisable at $11.86 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the common shares, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company will be approximately $6.7 million. This amount does not include any proceeds from warrant exercises.

 

The warrants will be exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance at an exercise price of $11.86 per common share and expire forty-two months from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to customary adjustment in the case of future issuances or deemed issuances of common shares, stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. A holder of the warrants also will have the right to exercise its warrants on a cashless basis if the registration statement or prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the common shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

 

The exercisability of the warrants may be limited if, upon exercise, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s common shares.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed with each of the purchasers that, subject to certain exceptions, it will not, within the 30 trading days following the closing of the Offering (which period may be extended in certain circumstances), enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any equity security or equity-linked or related security.

 

The Company has also agreed with each of the purchasers that while the warrants are outstanding, it will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect a “Variable Rate Transaction,” which means a transaction in which the Company:

 

  · issues or sells any convertible securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of, or quotations for, of the Company’s common shares at any time after the initial issuance of such convertible securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such convertible securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Company’s common shares, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision; or

 

  · enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit) whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights).

 

 
 

 

The Company has also agreed with each of the purchasers if the Company issues securities within the 18 months following the closing of the Offering, the purchasers shall have the right to purchase 40% of the securities on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the proposed issuance of securities.

 

The Company has also agreed to indemnify each of the purchasers against certain losses resulting from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants under agreements with each of the purchasers, as well as under certain other circumstances described in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting placement agent fees and the estimated offering expenses borne by the Company, are expected to be approximately $6.1 million.  The Offering will close on or before February 26, 2014.  After giving effect to the Offering, but without giving effect to the exercise of the warrants being offered, the Company will have 5,510,700 common shares outstanding.

 

The Offering was effected as a takedown off the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-178268), which became effective on December 21, 2011, pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In connection with the Offering, on January 28, 2014, the Company entered into an engagement letter agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with FT Global Capital, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent on a best efforts basis in the Offering. The Placement Agent will be entitled to a cash fee of 8% of the gross proceeds paid to the Company for the securities the Company sells in this Offering, including upon exercise of warrants issued in this Offering.  Additionally, the Company shall issue to the Placement Agent warrants (“Placement Agent Warrants”) equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares sold to the Investors placed by the Placement Agent in this Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants will be on substantially the same terms as the warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that the warrant issuable to the placement agent shall not be exercisable for a period of six months and shall expire forty-two months after the warrants are first exercisable.

 

The foregoing summaries of the terms of the form of warrant and the Purchase Agreement to be issued to each of the purchasers and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, and 10.1 respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
