Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2022, AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc.(the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 26, 2022,  (the “Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) which is an existing shareholder of the Company.  The Company issued and sold to the Investor 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series F 5% Convertible Preferred Stock, at the Stated Value of $1,000 per share (the “Series F Convertible Preferred”) and associated common stock warrants under the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, pending shareholder approval which was obtained at the Company’s Special Meeting held on February 3, 2023, the Investor has the right until August 3, 2024 (18 months after shareholder approval), in its sole discretion, to purchase up to a total aggregate additional stated value of Series F Convertible Preferred equal to $25,000,000, at a purchase price equal to the volume-weighted average pricings (“VWAPs”) of the Company’s common stock for three trading days prior to the date the Investor gives notice to the Company that it will exercise the option (the “Investor Notice”).

 

On March 9, 2023, the Company received an Investor Notice to purchase an additional 3,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred (the “Additional Series F Preferred”) convertible into 2,381 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.42 per share and associated common stock warrant to purchase up to 7,143,715 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $0.42 per share warrant (the “Additional Warrant”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. The Additional Warrant is exercisable upon issuance and has a three-year term. On March 10, 2023, the Company issued and sold the Additional Series F Preferred and the Additional Warrant.

 

The Additional Series F Preferred and the Additional Warrant were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.  Neither the Additional Series F Preferred nor the Additional Warrant has been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and none may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements. The Company is obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or Form S-1, if the Company is not eligible to use a Form S-3) to register the shares underlying the Additional Series F Preferred and the Additional Warrant no later than ten days after filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

 

A copy of the Additional Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference. The foregoing summary of the terms of the Additional Warrant is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, such document.
