Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 5, 2019, Document Security Systems, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp., acting as representative of the several underwriters named on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Underwriters”), which provided for the issuance and sale by the Company in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) and the purchase by the Underwriters of 11,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.02 par value per share. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the shares were sold to the Underwriters at a public offering price of $0.50 per share, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,680,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms and conditions for the purpose of covering any over-allotments in connection with the Offering. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be approximately $4.9 million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for research, product and brand development, strategic initiatives and general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 10, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-230740), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2019 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the prospectus dated May 8, 2019, included in such registration statement, as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated June 5, 2019 and a final prospectus supplement dated June 5, 2019.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act and termination and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. The Company and all of the Company’s executive officers and directors have also agreed not to sell or transfer any securities of the Company held by them for a period of 90 days and 180 days, respectively, from June 5, 2019 subject to limited exceptions.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements related to the anticipated closing of the Offering and the amount of net proceeds expected from the Offering. The risks and uncertainties involved include the Company’s ability to satisfy certain conditions to closing on a timely basis or at all, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares of common stock in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto and is incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by reference.
