Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 26, 2025, Aeluma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, (the “Underwriter”), relating to the public offering (the “Offering”) of 2,285,714 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), at a public offering price of $5.25 per share. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 342,857 shares of its common stock at the public offering price per share, less the underwriting discounts to cover over-allotments, if any, which option was exercised in its entirely on March 27, 2025. The Offering closed on March 28, 2025.
The Shares were offered under the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-285469), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2025, and a registration statement on Form S-1 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) which was filed with the SEC and became effective upon filing on March 26, 2025.
The aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering were approximately $13.8 million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, but including exercise in full of the over-allotment option. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $12.7 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, but including exercise in full of the over-allotment option. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for expanding business development efforts, advancing manufacturing processes to support commercialization traction, and working capital and general business purposes.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to an underwriting discount of 7.0% per Share, to issue warrants to the Underwriter (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 5.0% of the Shares sold in the Offering (including any shares sold in the Offering to cover over-allotments) at an exercise price equal to 115% of the public offering price, and also to pay the expenses of the Underwriter in connection with the Offering, including filing fees and Underwriter’s counsel legal fees, up to an aggregate of $125,000.
Our officers and directors have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 90 days after the closing of this Offering, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock of the Company either owned as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement or thereafter acquired without the prior written consent of the Underwriter.
We, and any successor, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to for a period of 90 days after the closing of the offering, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or submit to, or file with, the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Stock, or publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Stock or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, other than the Shares to be sold hereunder.
The Underwriter may, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the lock-up period, without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements.
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement, Warrant and the form of lock-up agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and Warrant, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 4.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
