Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 14, 2021, Document Security Systems, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), as representative of the underwriters, which provided for the issuance and sale by the Company and the purchase by the underwriters, in a firm commitment upsized underwritten public offering (the “Offering”), of 29,000,000 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 at a public offering price of $1.50 per share, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,350,000 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, which over-allotment option was exercised in full on June 16, 2021. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the Offering are approximately $45.8 million, including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this Offering to fund the development and growth of new business lines, acquisition opportunities, and general corporate and working capital needs.

The Offering closed on June 17, 2021 and was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-256446), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 7, 2021 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act). A final prospectus describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the SEC on June 16, 2021 and is available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov.

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 forty five (45) days from the date of the Offering, subject to limited exceptions.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements related to the use of proceeds from the Offering, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
