Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Purchase Agreement
On August 28, 2023, Agrify Corporation (the "Company") entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") and a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with Ionic Ventures, LLC ("Ionic"), pursuant to which Ionic has committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), subject to certain limitations, from time to time and at the Company's sole discretion over the term of the Purchase Agreement.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Ionic, and Ionic is obligated to purchase up to $15.0 million of the Company's Common Stock. Such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and may occur from time to time, at the Company's sole discretion, over the 36-month period commencing on the date of the Purchase Agreement, including that a registration statement covering the resale by Ionic of shares of Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Ionic under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC (the date on which all of such conditions are satisfied, the "Commencement Date").
From and after the Commencement Date, the Company may from time to time on any business day, by written notice delivered by the Company to Ionic, direct Ionic to purchase between $250,000 and $750,000 of shares of Common Stock on such business day, at a purchase price per share that will be equal to 93% (or 80% if the Common Stock is not then trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market) of the lowest daily VWAP over a specified measurement period beginning after the delivery of the purchase notice, as described further in the Purchase Agreement (each, a "Regular Purchase"). The Purchase Agreement also permits the Company to deliver an exemption purchase notice for $400,000 on the date of signing, with the shares so purchased to be delivered following the Commencement Date, and the Company delivered an exemption purchase notice for $400,000 for the purchase by Ionic of 2,844,672 shares of Common Stock.
The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Stock to Ionic pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Ionic has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of Common Stock to Ionic, but Ionic is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs, subject to certain conditions.
Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Ionic 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 Company's Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. Ionic will not be required to buy any shares of Common Stock on any trading day on which the closing price of the Common Stock is below $0.25. The net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its stock to Ionic. The Company expects that any proceeds received by the Company from such sales to Ionic will be used to support its operations, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
The aggregate number of shares that the Company can issue to Ionic under the Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 2,844,672 shares (subject to adjustment as described above) of the Common Stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement) (the "Exchange Cap"), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue Purchase Shares above the Exchange Cap, or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of Common Stock to Ionic under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $0.25668 per share (representing the average official closing price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement), so that the Exchange Cap limitation would not apply to issuances and sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market.
