Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 22, 2022, Dogness (International) Corporation (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 to investors an aggregate of 1,966,251 Class A Common Shares at a purchase price of $2.88 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Class A Common Shares, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent (as defined below) and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company will be approximately $5.66 million.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed with each of the purchasers that, subject to certain exceptions, it will not, within the ninety (90) 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 until the first anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, 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 or any subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights).

 

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 Offering is expected to close on February 24, 2022. The Offering was effected as a takedown off the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-229505), which became effective on February 13, 2019, pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In connection with the Offering, on February 22, 2022, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency 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 7% of the gross proceeds paid to the Company for the securities the Company sells in this Offering, reimbursement of expenses not to exceed $40,000, and indemnification against specified liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Placement Agency Agreement are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

On February 24, 2022, the Company announced the closing of the Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
