Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 6, 2017, Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (the “ Company ”) commenced an offering (the “ Offering ”) of up to 448,160 shares (the “ Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”) at a public offering price of $5.00 per share (equal to an effective price of 4.85 per share after taking into account 14,000 shares being issued to certain lead investors described below for no additional consideration), with Alexander Capital, L.P. (the “ Placement Agent ”) acting as the placement agent, on a “best efforts” basis. On the same date, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “ Subscription Agreements ”) with the investors for the purchase and sale of all the Shares being offered in the Offering.

 

The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent fees totaling 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares to investors introduced to the Company by the Placement Agent, for an aggregate of $99,264 based on 248,160 Shares sold to such investors. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to contribute to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make for these liabilities.

 

The Company has also agreed to issue any investor purchasing at least $500,000 worth of Shares in the Offering (i) an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to 7.0% of the total number of Shares purchased by such investor in the Offering and (ii) three-year warrants to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20.0% of the total number of Shares purchased by such investor in the Offering. Two investors have entered into subscription agreements for $500,000 worth of Shares in the Offering and as a result, the Company would issue to such investors an aggregate of 14,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 40,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company anticipates that the Offering will close on July 12, 2017. After deducting fees and expenses payable by the Company in connection with the Offering, including the fees payable to the Placement Agent, the net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $2,129,212.

 

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-213874), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) on September 30, 2016 and declared effective by the SEC on October 14, 2016, and is described in more detail in a prospectus supplement dated July 6, 2017 and accompanying base prospectus (dated October 14, 2016) to be filed with the SEC.

 

The form of the Subscription Agreement and Warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Graubard Miller relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities in the Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1. The foregoing description of the Offering by the Company and the documentation related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

On July 7, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had signed the Subscription Agreements. The press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1.

LONG ISLAND ICED TEA CORP.

 

1. Warrant .

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, duly paid by or on behalf of _______________ (the “ Holder ”), as registered owner of this Warrant, to Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (the “ Company ”), Holder is entitled, at any time or from time to time at or after July ____, 2017 (the “ Commencement Date ”), and at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time July _____, 2020 (the “ Expiration Date ”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to __________ (__________) shares of Common Stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value (“ Common Stock ”). If the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. During the period ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that would terminate the Warrant. This Warrant is initially exercisable at $5.50 per share of Common Stock purchased; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the rights granted by this Warrant, including the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context, of a share of Common Stock. The terms “ Securities ” or “ Warrant Shares ” shall mean the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

2. Exercise .

 

2.1. Exercise Form . In order to exercise this Warrant, the exercise form attached hereto must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with this Warrant and, unless Holder elects to exercise this Warrant on “cashless” basis pursuant to Section 2.2 by so specifying in the exercise form, payment in cash of the Exercise Price for the Securities being purchased. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. Under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle this Warrant upon its exercise.

 

 
 

 

2.2. Cashless Exercise . In lieu of paying cash pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant on a “cashless” basis and receive the number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), in which event the Company shall issue Shares to Holder in accordance with the following formula:

 

X = Y * (A - B) / A
     
where:  
   
X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder;
     
Y = the number of Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised;
     
A = the fair market value of one Share; and
     
B = the Exercise Price.

 

For purposes of this Section 2.2, the fair market value of a Share shall be the average VWAP per share of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise; provided, however, if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. “ VWAP ” shall mean, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)), or (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on a national securities exchange and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported by OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the closing bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported.

 

2.3. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise . Shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (x) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (y) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (z) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.

 

2
 

 

2.4. Legend . Each certificate for Securities purchased under this Warrant shall bear a legend as follows, unless such Securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Act ”):

 

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”) or applicable state law. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state law.”

 

3. Transfer .

 

3.1. General Restrictions . The registered Holder of this Warrant, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not sell, transfer or assign or hypothecate this Warrant to anyone except upon compliance with, or pursuant to exemptions from, applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with this Warrant and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The Company shall immediately transfer this Warrant on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.

 

3.2. Restrictions Imposed by the Securities Act . This Warrant and the Securities shall not be transferred unless and until (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that this Warrant and the Securities may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, and applicable state law, the availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, or (ii) a registration statement relating to this Warrant and the Securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) and compliance with applicable state law.

 

4. New Warrants to be Issued .

 

4.1. Partial Exercise or Transfer . Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds (or conversion equivalent) sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants purchasable hereunder as to which this Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

 

3
 

 

4.2. Lost Certificate . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

 

5. Adjustments

 

5.1. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities . The Exercise Price and the Securities underlying this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

5.1.1. Stock Dividends, Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups . If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up, recapitalization or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.

 

5.1.2. Aggregation of Shares . If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

 

5.1.3. Adjustments in Exercise Price . Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 5.1, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

5.1.4. Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, Etc . In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock other than a change covered by Sections 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 hereof or which solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 5.1.1 or 5.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.3 and this Section 5.1.4. The provisions of this Section 5.1.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 

4
 

 

 

5.1.5. Changes in Form of Warrant . This form of Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section, and Warrants in this form issued in connection with a transfer or exercise of a Warrant after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as are stated in the Warrants initially issued. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Warrants reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to a prior adjustment or the computation thereof.

 

5.2. Elimination of Fractional Interests . The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights.

 

6. Reservation and Listing .
