Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 22, 2022, Biotricity, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement, or the ATM Agreement, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through Wainwright shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, Wainwright will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell shares from time to time based upon our instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by us. Under the ATM Agreement, Wainwright may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including in privately negotiated transactions. Wainwright’s obligations to sell shares under the ATM Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company will pay Wainwright a commission of 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and has agreed to provide Wainwright with customary indemnification and contribution rights. We also agreed to reimburse Wainwright for certain specified expenses of up to $50,000.
We are not obligated to make any sales of our common stock under the ATM Agreement and no assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the ATM Agreement, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place. The ATM Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares under the ATM Agreement, or (ii) as provided therein.
Sales of shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement will be made pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-255544), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 4, 2021, and a related prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000.
The foregoing summary of the ATM Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ATM Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of shares, is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any shares under the ATM Agreement, nor shall there be any sale of such shares 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.
