MICROBOT MEDICAL INC. (NASDAQ:MBOT) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01

On January 23, 2019, Microbot Medical Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with accredited institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to the Purchasers of an aggregate of 250,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price per share of $9.875 (the “Offering”). The gross proceeds to the Company will be approximately $2.47 million. The closing of the Offering took place on January 25, 2019.

to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to the Purchasers unregistered warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of common stock, at a purchase price per warrant of $0.125 (the “Warrants”) for gross proceeds of $31,250, and together with the sale of the Shares, aggregate gross proceeds of $2.50 million. Subject to certain ownership limitations described in the Warrants, the Warrants are immediately exercisable on their date of issuance and will remain exercisable until the one year anniversary of their date of issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which, along with the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), will be subject for adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions as described in the Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable on a “cashless” basis in certain circumstances as described in the Warrants, including, among others, if there is no effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares after the six-month anniversary of their date of issuance. The Warrants provide that holders will have the right to participate in any rights offering or distribution of assets together with the holders of Common Stock on an as-exercised basis.

The net proceeds of the Offering to the Company are estimated to be approximately $2.13 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for the continuous development of its SCS device for the treatment of hydrocephalus and NPH; to expand and develop additional applications deriving from its existing IP portfolio, including the potential addition of complementary assets to the CardioSert portfolio either through internal development, in-license or acquisition; and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

On October 12, 2018, the Company entered into an engagement letter, as amended (the “Engagement Letter”), with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), to which Wainwright agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the securities to the Purchase Agreement. As compensation for such placement agent services, the Company has agreed to pay Wainwright an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares, plus (a) a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds; (b) a non-accountable expense allowance of $70,000 for this offering and (c) certain other reimbursement amounts payable. The Company has also issued to Wainwright or its designees warrants to purchase up to 5.0% of the aggregate number of Shares sold under the Purchase Agreement (the “Wainwright Warrants”), or up to 12,500 shares of Common Stock. The Wainwright Warrants have a term of one year, are exercisable immediately following issuance, and have an exercise price of $12.50 per share (equal to 125% of the combined offering price per Share and Warrant). The Engagement Letter also includes indemnification obligations of the Company and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

The Shares (but not the Warrants, the Wainwright Warrants, the Warrant Shares or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Wainwright Warrants (the “Wainwright Warrant Shares”)) were offered and sold by the Company through a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.: 333-217076), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2017 and declared effective by the SEC on April 14, 2017 and a prospectus supplement relating to the Offering dated January 23, 2019 to be filed with the SEC.

The Warrants, the Wainwright Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Wainwright Warrant Shares are being offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and similar exemptions under applicable state laws in reliance on the following facts: no general solicitation was used in the offer or sale of such securities; the recipients of the securities had adequate access to information about the Company, through pre-existing relationships or otherwise; and such securities were issued as restricted securities with restricted legends referring to the Securities Act. No such securities may be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from applicable registration requirements.
