Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
Completion of offering Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants
On October 28, 2024, Digital Brands Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") entered into securities purchase agreements (the "Purchase Agreements") with certain accredited investors named therein (the "Purchasers"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a best efforts offering (the "Offering"): (i) 6,233,650 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a purchase price of $0.10 per share of Common Stock, and (ii) 24,109,350 pre-funded warrants ("Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase Common Stock, at a purchase price of $0.0999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Offering closed on October 30, 2024.
The Company offered Pre-Funded Warrants to those Purchasers whose purchase of Common Stock in the Offering would have resulted in the Purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or at the election of the Purchaser, 9.99%) of our Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering in lieu of the Common Stock that would otherwise result in ownership in excess of 4.99% (or at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised commencing on the issuance date and do not expire. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable for cash; provided, however that they may be exercised on a cashless exercise basis if, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the issuance or resale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, which will prohibit the exercise thereof, if upon such exercise the holder of the Warrants, its affiliates and any other persons or entities acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates would hold 4.99% (or, upon election of a Purchaser prior to the issuance of any shares, 9.99%) of the number of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant held by the applicable holder, provided that the holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation (up to a maximum of 9.99%) upon 60 days advance notice to the Company, which 60 day period cannot be waived.
The Common Stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants were offered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-282047), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 24, 2024, as amended, and was declared effective on October 28, 2024 (the "Registration Statement").
RBW Capital Partners LLC, acting through Dominari Securities LLC (the "Placement Agent"), acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Offering pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement dated October 28, 2024 (the "Placement Agency Agreement") by and between the Company and the Placement Agent. The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary conditions to closing, representations and warranties of the Company, and termination rights of the parties, as well as certain indemnification obligations of the Company and ongoing covenants for the Company.
The Offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,000,000, before deducting placement agent fees and commissions and other offering expenses, and excluding proceeds to the Company, if any, that may result from the future exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Offering. As compensation to the Placement Agent, as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering, a non-accountable expense allowance of 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering, reimbursement of up to $50,000 for expenses of legal counsel and other actual out-of-pocket expenses, and up to $15,950 for clearing agent closing costs.
