Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Capital on DemandTMSales Agreement
On August 9, 2018, Overstock.com, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) entered into a Capital on DemandTMSales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, as agent (“JonesTrading”), to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through JonesTrading, shares of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) having an aggregate offering price of up to $150million.
Under the Sales Agreement, JonesTrading may sell the Common Stock by any method permitted by law and deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We may give instructions to JonesTrading about any sales, including instructions not to make sales below prices we designate from time to time.
We are not obligated to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement, and there can be no assurance of the price or prices at which we may sell any shares under the Sales Agreement. The offering of Common Stock to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the sale of all shares subject to the Sales Agreement or termination of the Sales Agreement.
We will pay JonesTrading a commission of up to 2.0% of the aggregate gross sales price of shares sold to the Sales Agreement. We have agreed to reimburse JonesTrading for certain specified expenses, including certain fees of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed $10,000, as provided in the Sales Agreement. We have also agreed to provide JonesTrading with customary indemnification and contribution rights.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Concurrently with entering into the Sales Agreement, we entered into the Standby Equity Underwriting Agreement with JonesTrading described below. We have no other material relationship with JonesTrading. Our Chief Executive Officer and director Patrick M. Byrne and/or High Plains Investments LLC, which is controlled by Dr. Byrne, may utilize JonesTrading as their broker to make sales of Common Stock to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Standby Equity Underwriting Agreement
On August 9, 2018, we also entered into a Standby Equity Underwriting Agreement (the “Standby Underwriting Agreement”) with JonesTrading. The Standby Underwriting Agreement provides that we have the right, but no obligation, to sell shares of Common Stock to JonesTrading, as underwriter, for up to $50,000,000, for resale to the public, subject to customary conditions and the following terms:
(1)Any sales would be made only in tranches of up to $5,000,000 each, determined as set forth in the Standby Underwriting Agreement;
(2)We must give JonesTrading notice of any sale two trading days prior to the sale, and we are limited to giving one sale notice every 10 trading days;
(3)The maximum amount we could elect to sell would be decreased, dollar for dollar, by any other sales of Common Stock we make in any type of registered offering, including sales made under the Sales Agreement described above, and could also be limited under circumstances described in the Standby Underwriting Agreement;
(4)JonesTrading has an option to purchase additional shares from us in an amount up to 15% of the number of shares we sell to JonesTrading in any tranche, exercisable until the earlier of 30 days after we give JonesTrading notice of any sale, and the date on which we give another notice of sale to JonesTrading; and
(5)The price for any sales we elect to make or as to which JonesTrading exercises its option will be 97% of the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during normal trading hours on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the two trading days subsequent to the date on which we give JonesTrading notice of any sale of shares, subject to adjustments in accordance with the Standby Underwriting Agreement.
Unless earlier terminated by either us or JonesTrading, the Standby Underwriting Agreement will terminate upon our sale of the entire $50 million of Common Stock as described above. JonesTrading may terminate the Standby Underwriting Agreement if the Common Stock is no longer an actively-traded security as defined under Regulation M, and also may terminate it for other reasons that typically allow underwriters to terminate their obligations under underwriting agreements. We may terminate the Standby Underwriting Agreement in our sole discretion at any time 90 days or more after the date of the Standby Underwriting Agreement. Regardless of any termination, certain provisions of the Standby Underwriting Agreement, including those relating to the payment of expenses, indemnification and contribution, our representations and warranties, and various agreements relating to dispute resolution, would remain in effect.
We have paid or will pay JonesTrading a commitment fee of $500,000 in connection with the Standby Underwriting Agreement. We have agreed to reimburse JonesTrading for certain specified expenses, including certain fees of its legal counsel. We have also agreed to provide JonesTrading with customary indemnification and contribution rights.
The foregoing description of the Standby Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Standby Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Common Stock discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of any shares of the Common Stock in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
