Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 31, 2023, Pineapple Financial Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (the “Representative”), who acted as the representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”), in a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Representative 875,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $3,500,000, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The price to the public in the Offering is $4.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Representative an additional 131,250 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $4.00 per share representing, in the aggregate, up to 15% of the number of shares sold in the Offering solely to cover over-allotments, if any, less the underwriting discounts payable by the Company.

The common shares were approved to list on the NYSE American under the symbol “PAPL” and began trading there on November 1 2023. The Offering closed on November 3, 2023.

The shares were offered and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-268636), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on December 1, 2022 and declared effective by the SEC on October 12, 2023.

The Company also issued warrants to the Representative and its affiliates (the “Representative’s Warrants”) warrants to purchase the number of common shares in the aggregate equal to 3% of the common shares to be issued and sold in this offering (including any common shares sold upon exercise of the over-allotment option). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable for a price per share equal to 100% of the public offering price. The warrants are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, commencing six (6) months from the date of commencement of sales of the offering and ending on the fifth anniversary thereof.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Representative, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and related “lock-up” agreements, the Company, existing holders of all of outstanding commons shares the Company have agreed not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable or exchangeable into common shares for a period of six months after the date of the final prospectus.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
