PRO-DEX, INC. (NASDAQ:PDEX) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 31, 2020, Pro-Dex, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (the “sales agent” or “Ascendiant”), to which the Company may sell and issue shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000 (the “Shares”) from time to time through Ascendiant, as the Company’s sales agent (the “ATM Offering”). The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend offers under the ATM Agreement or terminate the ATM Agreement.
Sales of the Shares, if any, under the ATM Agreement may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, including on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, the sales agent will use its reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions (including any price, time, or size limits or other parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay the sales agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of any Shares sold under the ATM Agreement. The Company has also provided the sales agent with customary indemnification rights.
The Shares will be offered and sold to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251142). On December 31, 2020, the Company filed a prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Under the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company may also sell Shares to Ascendiant as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of the sale, subject to the Company entering into a separate terms agreement with Ascendiant for any such sale.
The description of the ATM Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ATM Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The copy of the ATM Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the ATM Agreement were made only for purposes of the ATM Agreement as of the specific dates therein, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the ATM Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including, among others, being qualified by disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the ATM Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the ATM Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. Rather, investors and the public should look to the disclosures contained in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
The legal opinion of Rutan & Tucker, LLP relating to the shares of common stock being offered to the ATM Agreement is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
