Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 19, 2015, the Company closed an initial tranche of $3.0 million of the Company’s Units in an exempt private placement transaction with several accredited investors (“Private Placement”). The purchase price for each Unit in the Private Placement is $1.25 and consists of one share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $2.00 per share. The investors in the Private Placement were granted certain piggyback registration rights which, if exercised, would require the Company to register the investors’ shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying the warrants.
The sale of the securities in this Private Placement was made pursuant to Subscription Agreements for the Purchase of Securities dated as of November 19, 2015 by and among the Company and the investors, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1. The form of Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 and the form of Warrant issued to the investors is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.
The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Private Placement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of agreements referenced above and filed herewith.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to fund build-out of infrastructure supporting rollout of the Company’s commercial products, on-going academic and scientific studies being conducted both on the International Space Station and on Earth and development costs, transaction costs working capital and general corporate purposes.
Pursuant to Rule 135, this Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information pertaining to the sales of the Units in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The Company has sold the Units in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the above transaction did not involve a public offering. Additionally, the Company relied on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The investors in the Offering had access to information about the Company and their investments, took the Units for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the Units and the underlying securities. Upon issuance, the resale of the Units and/or the underlying securities will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 20, 2015, the Company issued a press release titled “Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. Closes $3 million First Tranche of Equity Private Placement.” A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The undersigned acknowledges that the Securities will not be registered under the 1933 Act, or the securities laws of any State, that absent an exemption from registration contained in those laws, the issuance and sale of such Securities would require registration, and that the Company's reliance upon such exemption is based upon the undersigned's representations, warranties, and agreements contained in the Offering Materials (as defined below).
1. The undersigned represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:
(a) The undersigned agrees that this Subscription Agreement is and shall be irrevocable.
(b) The undersigned has carefully read this Subscription Agreement , the Warrant , the Term Sheet , the Form 10-K dated April 1, 2015 (which includes the financial statements contained therein) as well as other current public information about the Company available to any member of the public on the EDGAR database maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov (or available upon request to the Company), the Registration Rights Agreement and the Confidential Prospective Purchaser Questionnaire (collectively the “ Offering Materials ”), all of which the undersigned acknowledges having received. The undersigned has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering and the Offering Materials and to obtain such additional written information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the same as the undersigned desires in order to evaluate the investment. The undersigned further acknowledges that the undersigned fully understands the Offering Materials, and the undersigned has had the opportunity to discuss any questions regarding any of the Offering Materials with the undersigned’s counsel or other advisor.

(e) The undersigned is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Securities OR, if a non-accredited investor, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Securities or if using a financial adviser, the financial adviser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of any investments, the name and details of which are below:
Financial Adviser Details (if applicable) | |||

(f) . The undersigned is not registered as a broker or dealer under Section 15(a) of the 1934 Act, affiliated with any broker or dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
(g) Each of this Agreement and the Offering Materials have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with their terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. The undersigned has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Offering Materials and each other agreement entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Offering Materials by the undersigned and the consummation by the undersigned of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) if applicable, result in a violation of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other documents of organization of the undersigned, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the undersigned is bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation or decree applicable to the undersigned.
- 5 - |
(i) The undersigned understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless and until such Securities are registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration is available. The undersigned has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.
(j) The undersigned understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of Federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the undersigned set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the undersigned to acquire the Securities.
(k) The undersigned is purchasing the Securities for the undersigned's own account, with the intention of holding the Securities, with no present intention of dividing or allowing others to participate in this investment or of reselling or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Securities, and shall not make any sale, transfer, or pledge thereof without registration under the Act and any applicable securities laws of any state or unless an exemption from registration is available under those laws.
(l) The undersigned represents that the undersigned, if an individual, has adequate means of providing for his or her current needs and personal and family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment in the Securities. The undersigned has no reason to anticipate any material change in his or her personal financial condition for the foreseeable future.

(n) The undersigned represents that the undersigned's overall commitment to this investment is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and the undersigned's investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The undersigned understands that the statutory basis on which the Securities are being sold to the undersigned and others would not be available if the undersigned's present intention were to hold the Securities for a fixed period or until the occurrence of a certain event. The undersigned realizes that in the view of the Commission, a purchase now with a present intent to resell by reason of a foreseeable specific contingency or any anticipated change in the market value, or in the condition of the Company, or that of the industry in which the business of the Company is engaged or in connection with a contemplated liquidation, or settlement of any loan obtained by the undersigned for the acquisition of the Securities, and for which such Securities may be pledged as security or as donations to religious or charitable institutions for the purpose of securing a deduction on an income tax return, would, in fact, represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the undersigned's representations to the Company and the Commission would then regard such sale as a sale for which the exemption from registration is not available. The undersigned will not pledge, transfer, or assign this Subscription Agreement.

1.1 If the Company determines to proceed with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) of a registration statement (“ Registration Statement ”) within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of this Agreement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”), of any of its Common Stock, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities issuable in connection with stock options or other employee benefit plans, then the Company will send to the Investor written notice at least 10 days prior to the filing of any such registration statement. If within 7 days after receipt of such notice the Investor so requests in writing that its shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, “ Registrable Securities ”) to be included in such Registration Statement, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to include such Registrable Securities therein; provide, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any of its Common Stock and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company determines for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such shares at that time, then the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Investor and, thereupon, (a) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company will be relieved of its obligation to register the Registrable Securities, provided, however, that the Company will be obligated to register the Registered Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if the Company thereafter determines to register its Common Stock, and (b) in the case of a determination to delay registering, the Company will be permitted to delay registering the Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other shares. The Company will include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities, provided, however, that the Company will not be required to register any of the Registrable Shares that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the Company receives a comment from the SEC which effectively results in the Company having to reduce the number of Common Stock being registered on such Registration Statement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, reduce on a pro rata basis along with all other shares being registered the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement. In circumstances in which not all of the Registrable Securities are registered, the Company shall, upon written notice from the Investor, take all steps necessary to register such unregistered Registrable Securities as soon as possible after the filing of the original Registrable Statement.
1 |
1.2 In connection with each Registration Statement described in Section 1.1, the Investor will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably necessary in order to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws. The Company, among other items, may require the Investor to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and the name of the person thereof that has voting and dispositive control over the Registrable Securities.
1.3 All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with the filing of the Registration Statement will be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence will include, without limitation, (a) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (i) with respect to filings required to be made with the OTC Bulletin Board or other exchange or quotation service on which the Common Stock of the Company are then listed for trading, (b) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of legal counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel to the Investor, if required; (e) 1933 Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (f) fees and expenses of all other persons retained by the Company in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. In addition, the Company will be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange, if applicable. In no event will the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions or, except to the extent provided for hereunder, any legal fees or other costs of the Investor.
1.4 If a Registration Statement described in Section 1.1 is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing Underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall advise all Investor that have requested Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement and include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, on a pro-rata basis based on the Registrable Securities held by such requesting Investor at the time of filing the Registration Statement; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.
1.5 If a Registration Statement described in Section 1.1 is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of any party other than the Company, and the managing Underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall advise all Investor that have requested Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement and include in such registration (i) ) first, securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to demand registration rights by persons other than the Investor; (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, on a pro-rata basis based on the Registrable Securities held by such requesting Investor at the time of filing the Registration Statement; and (iii) third, securities requested to be included in the Registration Statement by the holders thereof pursuant to registration rights other than demand registration rights.
2 |
1.6 By delivery of written notice to any of the participating Investor (a “ Suspension Notice ”), the Company or the managing Underwriter of a primary registration may require such Investor to refrain from disposing of Registrable Securities under the registration, in either case for a period of no more than ninety (90) consecutive days from the delivery of such Suspension Notice (which period may not be extended or renewed) if the Company in good faith determines that it is in the best interests of the Company. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing Underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto.
2 | Indemnification |
2.1 The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and, if applicable, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any U.S. federal or state securities laws in connection with any such registration or qualification of securities, except to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions (a) are based solely upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to the Investor or the Investor’ proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (b) are contained in an outdated or defective Registration Statement used by the Investor after the Company has notified the Investor in writing that the Registration Statement is outdated or defective.
2.2 The Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ), and the directors, officers or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (a) the Investor’ failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act, or (b) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions (i) are contained in any information so furnished in writing by the Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or (ii) are based solely upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein, or (iii) are contained in information relating to the Investor or the Investor’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities that was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (c) the use by the Investor of an outdated or defective Registration Statement after the Company has notified the Investor in writing that the Registration Statement is outdated or defective.
3 |
2.3 If a claim by either the Company or the Investor (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”, as applicable) for indemnification hereunder from the other party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”), whether by reason of public policy or otherwise, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Investor will not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by it from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that it has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by the Investor.
2.4 The Indemnified Party will give notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions hereof except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party will assume the defence of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless the employment of such counsel will have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defence of such action, or the Indemnifying Party will not have employed counsel to take charge of the defence of such action or the Indemnified Party will have reasonably concluded that there may be defences available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defence of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defence of any such claim or litigation, will, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4. | Severability |
4.1 If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision will be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and will be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

This Warrant may be exercised at any time after issuance through and including the Fifth (5th) anniversary of its original issuance as noted above (the “ Expiration Date ”), subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Registration of Warrant . The Company shall, from time to time and whenever requested by the Holder, register this Warrant in conformity with records to be maintained by the Company for such purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”) in the name of the Holder. The Company shall treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any and all purposes, including the exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
1 |
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges .
(a) The Company or the transfer agent shall enter or record the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at the office specified herein or pursuant to Section 11 hereof. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant hereinafter referred to as a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the office of the Company specified herein or pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.

3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants .
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any business day before 5:00 P.M., New York time, at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 P.M., New York time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent shall be given or withheld at the sole and absolute discretion of the Holder.
(b) Subject to Section 2(b) , Section 6 and Section 10 hereof, upon: (x) surrender of this Warrant, together with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 11 hereof; and (y) payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined below)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to the Holder in such name(s) as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise and free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act then the Warrant Shares will bear a Securities Act restrictive legend. Any person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. A “ Date of Exercise ” means the date on which the Company shall have received (I) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), together with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed; and (II) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the holder hereof to be purchased.

(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.

4. Piggyback Registration Rights . The Holder shall be granted certain Piggyback Registration Rights as more fully described in that certain Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Offering.
5. Payment of Taxes . Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
6. Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
7. Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8 hereof). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. If the Company does not have a sufficient amount of Common Stock authorized to reserve for the Warrant Shares, it shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, use its best efforts to increase the number of its authorized shares such that the Company will have a sufficient amount of Common Stock authorized to reserve for the Warrant Shares.
3 |
8. Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 8 . Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8 , the Holder shall thereafter but prior to the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) An adjustment shall be made, if the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) pays a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated dividend rate) or otherwise make distribution(s) on shares of its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock and not the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares. If either (i), (ii) or (iii) above occurs, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive subdivisions and combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 8(b) upon any exercise following any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 8 , the following clauses shall also be applicable:
4 |
(i) Record Date . In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(ii) Treasury Shares . The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(d) All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
9. Payment of Exercise Price .
(a) Cash Exercise . The Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal offices, with the Election to Purchase form attached hereto, duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by payment in cash, wire transfer or by check, payable to the order of the Company, of the aggregate Exercise Price for the total aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised.
(b) Legend. Unless the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, upon exercise of any of the Warrants and the issuance of any of the Warrant Shares, all certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear on the face thereof substantially the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, UNLESS REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THAT ACT OR UNLESS AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE CORPORATION IS OBTAINED STATING THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION .
10. Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 10 , be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

Equity Private Placement
BOCA RATON, Fla.— (November 20, 2015),– Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc.'s (ZGSI or the “Company”) (Pink Sheets: ZGSI), an agricultural biotechnology company commercializing its technology derived from and designed for Space with significant applications on Earth, announced today that it has closed an initial tranche of $3 million of the Company’s Units in an exempt private placement transaction with several accredited investors (“Private Placement”). Each Unit in the Private Placement consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock and the Company may sell up to a total of $7 million under the terms of the Private Placement within the next 30 days.
Livingston Securities, LLC , a New York based broker/dealer, acted as the sole placement agent for this round of financing. The proceeds from this Private Placement will provide the capital to deploy the infrastructure necessary to support the rollout of the Company’s first commercial product, BAM-FX , in agricultural markets.
“To take advantage of the more than 60 domestic and international commercial trials conducted in 2014 and 2015 on a large variety of crops, in which initial observations and independent laboratory analysis demonstrated significant increases in yield, biomass and other attributes, the Company is utilizing this new capital to expand our staff of certified crop advisors, agronomists and qualified sales and marketing personnel to support the Company’s short term revenue generation goals,” stated Harvey Kaye, Chairman of ZGSI.
For more detail on the Private Placement, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2015.
The Units, common stock and warrants, and any other securities offered in the Private Placement or any other securities to be offered in any proposed future private placement (collectively, the "Securities") have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Because the Securities are not registered, the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act and shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any sales of the securities mentioned in this press release 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.
