Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on July 13, 2023, Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 15,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 6,666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment (the “Warrants”). The terms of the Preferred Shares are as set forth in the Certificate of Designations filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on July 14, 2023 (the “Certificate of Designations”).
On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into an Omnibus Waiver and Amendment (the “Waiver and Amendment”) with the Investors, effective as of December 31, 2023. The Waiver and Amendment provides that certain equity awards granted to directors, officers, employees of the Company under the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan are deemed to constitute “Excluded Securities” under the Transaction Documents (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and waives the applicability of certain other provisions of the Transaction Documents with respect to such grants. The Waiver and Amendment also amends certain terms of the Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Warrants in connection with a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants).
The foregoing description of the Waiver and Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Waiver and Amendment, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
