Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On April 9, 2020, Overstock.com, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”), in connection with an equity offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $80 million (the “Offering”), the Company filed a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Capital on DemandTM Sales Agreement (as amended, the “Sales Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, as agent (“JonesTrading”).

 

Under the Sales Agreement, JonesTrading may sell the Common Stock by any method permitted by law and deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We are not obligated to sell any shares of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement, and there can be no assurance of the price or prices at which we may sell any shares under the Sales Agreement. The Offering will terminate upon the sale of all shares subject to the Sales Agreement or termination of the Sales Agreement. We will pay JonesTrading a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross sales price of shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We have agreed to reimburse JonesTrading for certain specified expenses as provided in the Sales Agreement, and we have also agreed to provide JonesTrading with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

 

The shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement and the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233913) filed with the SEC and effective as of April 1, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”). This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of (i) the Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and (ii) the Sales Agreement, previously incorporated by referenced into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 13, 2020.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to file certain documents in connection with the Offering as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

New York, NY 10017

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby amend the Original Agreement pursuant to the terms of this amendment No. 3 to the Original Agreement (this “Amendment No. 3”) as follows:

 

1.             The first paragraph of Section 1 of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

 

Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through the Agent, shares (the “Placement Shares”) of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) having an aggregate offering price of up to $265,040,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). Pursuant to this Agreement, shares of our common stock were previously sold for $185,038,335.66 in aggregate gross proceeds under separate prospectuses and related prospectus supplements. Under this Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Capital on Demand™ Sales Agreement, dated March 15, 2019, Amendment No. 2 to Capital on Demand™ Sales Agreement, dated November 12, 2019 and Amendment No. 3 to Capital on Demand™ Sales Agreement, dated April 9, 2020, the Company, through the Agent, may offer and sell further shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $80,000,000 pursuant to the Prospectus (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the amount of Placement Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and that Agent shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of further Placement Shares through Agent will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) that was initially filed by the Company on September 24, 2019 (File No. 333-233913) and which was an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that became automatically effective under Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act (as defined below) upon such filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue any further Placement Shares. The Registration Statement was subsequently amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and Post-Effective Amendment 2 thereto, each filed on March 13, 2020, and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 was subsequently declared effective by the Commission on April 1, 2020.”

 

 

 

 

2.             The Company hereby agrees, notwithstanding anything in the Original Agreement to the contrary, to reimburse the Agent for the reasonable fees and expenses of Agent’s counsel in an amount not to exceed $25,000 in connection with this Amendment No. 3.

 

3.             All references to “August 9, 2018” set forth in Schedule 1 and Exhibit 7(l) of the Original Agreement are revised to read “August 9, 2018 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Capital on Demand™ Sales Agreement, dated March 15, 2019, Amendment No. 2 to Capital on Demand™ Sales Agreement, dated November 12, 2019 and Amendment No. 3 to Capital on Demand™ Sales Agreement, dated April 9, 2020)”.

All references in the Original Agreement to the “Agreement” shall mean the Original Agreement as amended by this Amendment No. 3; provided, however, that all references to “date of this Agreement” in the Original Agreement shall continue to refer to the date of the Original Agreement.

 

6.             Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.
