Underwriting Agreement
On September 16, 2025, AvePoint, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC., Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and UBS Securities, LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), and certain selling securityholders named in Schedule II thereto (the “Selling Securityholders”), relating to the underwritten public offering of 13,290,360 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290264) and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement at a public offering price of S$19.50 (approximately US$15.21) per share (the “Offering”).
The Offering consists of 13,290,360 shares of Common Stock sold by the Selling Securityholders (the “Shares”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, a Selling Securityholder granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days to purchase up to an additional 1,993,550 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.
In addition, the Company has applied for a secondary listing by way of introduction (“Introduction”) of Common Stock on the Main Board of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”), which will be granted when the Company has been admitted to the Official List of the SGX-ST. The Company has received a letter of eligibility from the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the Common Stock on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. The Company’s eligibility to list and admission to the Official List of the SGX-ST are not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the Introduction, the Company and its subsidiaries or the Common Stock. A copy of the introductory document containing details of the Introduction will be available on SGXNET. The Common Stock is expected to begin trading on the SGX-ST at 9.00 a.m. (Singapore time) on September 19, 2025 under the symbol AVP, following the settlement of the Offering on or around 8:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on September 18, 2025. For a period of 30 days following such listing, the Common Stock sold in the Offering and listed on the Main Board of the SGX-ST will not be transferable to Nasdaq, as the Central Depository (Pte) Limited, the Singapore clearing house and central depository will block any requests from its depositors to transfer Common Stock held through its DTC participation to another DTC participant.
The Selling Securityholders expect to receive proceeds, before expenses from the Offering of approximately US$202 million. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders, but it has agreed to pay the Selling Securityholders for certain of their expenses in connection with the Offering, excluding all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Selling Securityholders, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, the Selling Securityholders, and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, and were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto. A copy of the opinion of Cooley LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
