Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In a private transaction, on October 16, 2024, ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to issue the Investor a senior secured convertible note in the aggregate original principal amount of $833,333.34 (the “Note”), and also issue to the Investor 7,983 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (“Common Stock”) as “commitment shares” to the Investor.
The Company is the issuer of the Note, and its respective subsidiaries will guaranty the obligations under the Note pursuant to a Guaranty, dated October 16, 2024 (the “Guaranty”). The Note will be fully secured by collateral of the Company and its subsidiaries. The security interest in favor of the Investor, as collateral agent, will cover substantially all assets of the Company including, without limitation, the intellectual property, trademark, and patent rights of the Company. The parties entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) and certain intellectual property security agreements granting such security interest in favor of the Investor.
Form of Note. In connection with the SPA, the Company issued to the Investor the Note on October 16, 2024, which bears an interest rate of 10% per annum and is due and payable on the earlier of (i) January 16, 2025 and (ii) the date of consummation or termination of the Company’s previously announced merger with Vyome Therapeutics, Inc. The initial conversion price of the Note is $5.22 per share of Common Stock. The Note may not be converted by the Investor into shares of Common Stock if such conversion would result in the Investor and its affiliates owning in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Note provides for certain events of default that are typical for a transaction of this type, including, among other things, any breach of the representations or warranties made by the Company or its subsidiaries. In connection with any event of default that results in the acceleration of payment of the Note and while it is continuing, the interest rate on the Note shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.
Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the SPA, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor, dated October 16, 2024 (the “RRA”). The RRA provides that the Company will file a registration statement to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Note and the commitment shares within 30 days after the date of the SPA and will use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 30 days after the filing date.
Lock-Up Agreement. In connection with the SPA, the directors and officers of the Company each entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which each agreed to, from the date of the Lock-Up Agreement until the Note is no longer outstanding, subject to certain customary exceptions, not offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into, shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned, held or acquired by the person signing the Lock-Up Agreement.
Leak-Out Agreement. In connection with the SPA, the Company entered into a Leak-Out Agreement with the Investor, dated October 16, 2024 (the “Leak-Out Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed that on any trading day while the Note, or shares of Common Stock issued to the Investor upon conversion of the Note, remains outstanding, the Investor will not, and will cause each of its trading affiliates not to, sell, dispose or otherwise transfer, in the aggregate, more than 10% of the composite daily trading volume of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP.
The foregoing descriptions of the SPA, the Note, the RRA, the Security Agreement, the Guaranty, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Leak-Out Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the SPA, the Note, the RRA, the Security Agreement, the Guaranty, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Leak-Out Agreement, respectively filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3, Exhibit 10.4, Exhibit 10.5, Exhibit 10.6 and Exhibit 10.7 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
