Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 22 and November 25, 2024, Eastside Distilling, Inc. ("Eastside") entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the "Purchase Agreements") with four accredited investors (the "Investors") for the sale by Eastside of units of securities consisting of a total of 686,273 shares (the "Shares") of Eastside's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase a total of 343,313 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") in a registered direct offering (the "Offering") at a purchase price of $510 for each "Unit" consisting of 1,000 Shares and a Warrant to purchase 500 Shares. The gross proceeds to Eastside from the Offering were $350,000, before deducting the expenses of the Offering.
Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase Shares at a price per share of $0.65 (as adjusted equitably from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof). In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made upon exercise of the Warrant, the Holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a cashless exercise formula set forth in the Warrant. The Warrants may be exercised after the shareholders of Eastside approve an increase in the authorized shares of Eastside common stock (the "Shareholder Approval"). The Holder's ability to exercise a Warrant will terminate on the later of (a) the third anniversary of the issue date for the Warrant or (b) the first anniversary of the Shareholder Approval. The holder of a Warrant is prohibited from exercising such warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% or 9.99% (at the election of the Investor) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. If the market price of Eastside common stock exceeds 175% of the Warrant exercise price for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, Eastside Distilling may call the Warrants for redemption at a nominal sum in twenty days, during which period the Holders may exercise the Warrants.
The Offering of the Units was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282095) (the "Registration Statement"), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2024.
