Material Agreement Form 8 K

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Common Stock Purchase Agreement
On June 26, 2024, Windtree Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with an equity line investor (the "Purchaser"), whereby the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser is obligated to purchase, up to the lesser of (i) $35 million of newly issued shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below).
The Company does not have a right to commence any sales of Common Stock to the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement until the time when all of the conditions to the Company's right to commence sales of Common Stock to the Purchaser set forth in the Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, including that a registration statement covering the resale of such shares is declared effective by the SEC and the final form of prospectus contained therein is filed with the SEC (the "Commencement Date"). Over the 36-month period from and after the Commencement Date, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Stock to the Purchaser. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding and the Company's operations.
At any time from and after the Commencement Date, on any business day on which the closing sale price of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 (the "Purchase Date"), the Company may direct the Purchaser to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock (a "Fixed Purchase") not to exceed 10,000 shares or $50,000 at a purchase price equal to the lesser of 95% of the lower of (i) the daily volume weighted average price (the "VWAP") of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the applicable Purchase Date for such Fixed Purchase and (ii) the closing price of a share of Common Stock during the full trading day on the trading day immediately following such applicable Purchase Date; provided, however, that if the resulting price is less than $0.50 (to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction), then the percentage applied shall be 90% instead of the 95% referred to above.
In addition, at any time from and after the Commencement Date, on any business day on which the closing sale price of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 and such business day is also the Purchase Date for a Fixed Purchase of an amount of shares of Common Stock not less than the applicable Fixed Purchase Maximum Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the "VWAP Purchase Date"), the Company may also direct the Purchaser to purchase, on the immediately following business day, an additional number of shares of Common Stock in an amount up to the VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (a "VWAP Purchase") at a purchase price equal to the lesser of 95% of (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date and (ii) the VWAP during the period on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date beginning at the opening of trading and ending at the VWAP Purchase Termination Time (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that if the resulting price is less than $0.50 (to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction), then the percentage applied shall be 90% instead of the 95% referred to above. At any time from and after the Commencement Date, on any business day that is also the VWAP Purchase Date for a VWAP Purchase, the Company may also direct the Purchaser to purchase, on such same business day, an additional number of shares of Common Stock in an amount up to the Additional VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (an "Additional VWAP Purchase") at a purchase price equal to the lesser of 95% of (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Date and (ii) the VWAP during the Additional VWAP Purchase Period (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Date; provided, however, that if the resulting price is less than $0.50 (to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction), then the percentage applied shall be 90% instead of the 95% referred to above.
In no event shall the Company issue to the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the "Exchange Cap"), unless (i) the Company obtains the approval of the issuance of such shares by its stockholders in accordance with the applicable stock exchange rules or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of Common Stock are made at a price equal to or in excess of the lower of (A) the closing price on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 26, 2024 and (B) the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock for the five business days immediately preceding June 26, 2024, such that the sales of such Common Stock to the Purchaser would not count toward the Exchange Cap because they are "at market" under applicable stock exchange rules.
Convertible Promissory Note
As consideration for the Purchaser's irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the "Commitment Note") to the Purchaser in the amount of $350,000. The Commitment Note matures on June 26, 2025 (the "Maturity Date") and will bear interest at 10% per annum on a 365-day basis, due and payable on the Maturity Date. The interest rate will increase to 18% per annum upon the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Commitment Note). The Purchaser, in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the Company may convert all or a portion of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Commitment Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, if any) (the "Conversion Amount") into a number of shares of Common Stock (such shares of Common Stock, the "Note Shares") equal to (x) the Conversion Amount divided by, as of the date of such conversion notice or other date of determination, the lesser of (i) a 20% discount to the lowest intraday sale price of the Common Stock as traded on the principal market on June 26, 2024 and (ii) a 20% discount to the lowest intraday sale price of the Common Stock as traded on the principal market during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion notice, subject to adjustment as provided in the terms of the Commitment Note.
Registration Rights Agreement
Concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchaser (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the resale of the Shares and the Note Shares, on or before the 30th calendar day following the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or before the 60th calendar day following the Closing Date, subject to limited exceptions described therein. The registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to certain conditions and limitations and are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions.
