On December 13, 2024, Flora Growth Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario ("Flora" or the "Company"), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (the "Investors") in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company in a registered direct offering (the "Registered Direct Offering") of 2,850,000 of the Company's common shares, no par value per share (the "Common Shares" and, such number of Common Shares issued and sold in the Registered Direct Offering, the "Offered Shares"), pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-274204), and a related base prospectus, together with the related prospectus supplement dated as of December 13, 2024 (such registration statement, prospectus and prospectus supplement, collectively, the "Registration Statement"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pursuant to a placement agent agreement dated December 13, 2024 (the "Placement Agent Agreement"), Aegis Capital Corp. ("Aegis") acted as placement agent in connection with the Registered Direct Offering. The Company agreed to pay Aegis a placement commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Registered Direct Offering or a 3.0% placement commission for any investors introduced by the Company to Aegis who are not existing Aegis investors. The Company will also reimburse Aegis for legal fees of up to $75,000 and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Registered Direct Offering.
The net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering were approximately $3.1 million after deducting Aegis' fees and other estimated expenses relating to the Registered Direct Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering, together with its existing cash, for general corporate purposes and working capital.
The Securities Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Investors. Additionally, the Company has agreed to provide the Investors with customary indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
