Registered Direct Offering

 

On July 23, 2023, NANO-X IMAGING LTD (the “Company” or “Nanox”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a single institutional investor (the “Purchaser”) for the purchase and sale of 2,142,858 of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the “ordinary shares”), together with warrants to purchase up to 2,142,858 ordinary shares at a combined purchase price of $14.00 per share, in a registered direct offering. The warrants will have an exercise price of $19.00 per share, will be exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire five years from issuance. The warrants will be exercisable for cash only so long as the Company has an effective registration statement covering the issuance of shares upon the exercise of the warrants. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchaser and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on July 26, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

A copy of the press release related to the offering is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

 

This Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities or any other securities, nor may there be any offer, solicitation or sale of these securities or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

As previously disclosed, the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) notified Company that it is conducting an investigation to determine whether there had been any violations of the federal securities laws. The Company received a subpoena from the SEC requesting that the Company provide documents and other information relating to the development cost of the Company’s Nanox.ARC prototypes, as well as the Company’s estimate for the cost of assembling the final Nanox.ARC product at scale, among other things, and the Company has been providing documents and information to the SEC.

 

The Company and Ran Poliakine, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, have reached agreements in principle with the SEC staff to settle this matter. The agreements are subject to finalization, including any financial remedies, which the Company estimates will be approximately $650,000 in civil penalties from the Company and less than $500,000 in penalties, disgorgement and prejudgment interest from Mr. Poliakine. Final resolution of this matter is subject to preparation and negotiation of documentation satisfactory to all the parties, including, with respect the Company, approval by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of the SEC, authorization by the Commission, as well as approval by a federal district court. The Company can provide no assurances that satisfactory final agreements will be reached, that authorization by the Commission or approval by the court will be obtained, or with respect to the timing or terms of any such agreements, authorization, and approval.

 

As previously disclosed, in September 2020, two securities class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain current officers and a director, which were subsequently consolidated and captioned as White v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No. 1:20-cv-04355, alleging violations of securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities between August 21, 2020 and September 15, 2020, and seeking unspecified damages. On December 7, 2020, proposed lead plaintiffs submissions were fully briefed, on August 10, 2022, Magistrate Judge Marcia M. Henry issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Court approve Derson O. Jolteus and Edward Ko as lead plaintiffs, and on August 30, 2022, Judge William Kuntz adopted the Report and Recommendation. On June 24, 2022, the Company moved to consolidate this action with the action captioned McLaughlin v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No: 1:21-cv-05517, discussed further below. The Company’s motion to consolidate remains outstanding. On October 31, 2022, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws in connection with certain disclosures regarding the Company’s FDA submission and customer contracts. Lead Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of investors who purchased the Company’s publicly traded securities between August 21, 2020 and September 15, 2020. On February 3, 2023, the Company moved to stay this action in favor of the McLaughlin action, or, in the alternative, until the Company’s pending motion to consolidate was decided. The Company has not yet responded to the amended complaint.

On October 5, 2021, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain of its officers, captioned McLaughlin v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No. 1:21-cv-05517. On January 25, 2022, Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo appointed Davian Holdings Limited as Lead Plaintiff in the McLaughlin v. Nano-X Imaging Ltd. et al, Case No. 1:21-cv-05517. On April 12, 2022 and in the same case, the Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws in connection with certain disclosures concerning the cost of the Nanox.ARC system as well as the comparison of the Nanox.ARC to CT scanners. Lead Plaintiff seeks to represent a class of investors who purchased the Company’s publicly-traded securities between August 21, 2020 and November 17, 2021. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint, and briefing on that motion was completed on September 9, 2022, and it remains outstanding.

 

The Company previously reported entering into a term sheet on April 28, 2023, to settle all shareholder class action litigation related to the McLaughlin action and the consolidated White action. On June 2, 2023, the Company entered into a formal settlement agreement to settle those actions for $8 million. The settlement remains subject to court approval among other conditions.
