Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 31, 2019, Resonant Inc. (the
Company
) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
) with Murata Electronics North America, Inc. (
Murata
), an affiliate of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which agreement was subsequently joined by 10 additional institutional and individual accredited investors (collective with Murata, the
Investors
), which Purchase Agreement provides for the sale by the Company of an aggregate of 3,960,560 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (each, a
Share
and collectively, the
Shares
) at a price of $2.53 per Share, for gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million (the
Offering
).
The initial closing of the Offering, for approximately $3.0 million, is scheduled to occur on or around August 12, 2019, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The closing of Muratas investment for $7.0 million is subject to the execution of a definitive multi-year commercial agreement that provides Murata with rights to multiple designs utilizing the Companys technology, the material terms of which have been negotiated and agreed to in principle by the parties, as well as applicable governmental approval.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Investors for liabilities arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company or its subsidiary in the Purchase Agreement or related documents or (ii) any action instituted against an Investor with respect to the Offering, subject to certain exceptions. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and covenants of the Company.
In addition, on July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the
Registration Rights Agreement
) with Murata, which agreement was subsequently joined by the other Investors, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to register for resale by the Investors the Shares purchased by the Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company has committed to file a registration statement within 45 days following the initial closing of the Offering and to cause the registration statement to become effective within 150 days following the initial closing. For each subsequent closing, the Company has committed to file a registration statement within 30 days following the applicable closing and to cause the registration statement to become effective within 90 days following such closing. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Companys failure to file the registration statement or cause it to become effective by the deadlines set forth above. The amount of liquidated damages payable to an Investor would be 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such affected Investor, and an additional 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such affected Investor for each 30-day period during which the default continues.
The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated herein.
