Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 23, 2019, Reed’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation (NASDAQ: REED) (“Reed’s”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 11,666,667 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, at a public offering price of $0.60 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Reed’s granted the Underwriter a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1,750,000 shares of its common stock. The Company expects the gross proceeds of the offering will be approximately $7.0 million (or $8.05 million assuming exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in full) before deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by Reed’s.

 

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by Reed’s and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Reed’s has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities.

 

The shares of common stock are being sold pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective on February 8, 2019 (File No. 333-229105). A preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the offering was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 22, 2019, and a final prospectus supplement will be filed with the SEC. The closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about October 25, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

 

A copy of the legal opinion and consent of Libertas Law Group, Inc., relating to the shares of common stock sold in the offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.
