Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 17, 2018, Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”) issued and sold 7,840 additional shares of its 6.0% Series E Senior Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series E Shares”) to approximately 5 investors in a private placement pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

The purchase price for each Series E Share was $25.00, resulting in total gross proceeds of $196,000. Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd. served as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the private placement. Fees payable to Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd. at completion of the transaction were 5% of gross proceeds, plus warrants to purchase 5% of the number of common shares into which the Series E shares can be converted (100 common shares) at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. Proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses will be approximately $188,600. The Company expects to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The form of the Series Purchase Agreement was included as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2018 in which the Company reported its initial sale of Series E Shares. New investors purchasing Series E shares also signed the Investor Rights Agreement to which the other Series E shareholders are parties. There are now a total of 7,360 Series E Shares outstanding.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

See Item 1.01 for a description of the Company’s unregistered sale of Series E Shares and a warrant to purchase common stock. The Company issued the securities described therein in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the sale of Series E Shares for working capital purposes.

On August 16, 2018, prior to completing the sale of Series E Shares described in Items 1.01 and 3.02 of this Report, the Company filed with the California Secretary of State an amendment to the Certificate of Determination for the Series E Shares, increasing the number of preferred shares designated as Series E Shares from 60,000 to 70,000.
