Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 30, 2015, CTPartners Executive Search Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (the “Underwriter”) in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of 1,454,059 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), at a public offering price of $3.44 per Share (the “Offering”). The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriter against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Offering. The Underwriting Agreement superseded a prior agreement between the Company and the Underwriter that was entered into earlier in the day on January 30, 2015 that related to a proposed offering of 1,666,667 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.00 per share. The changes in the terms of the Offering did not affect the net proceeds to the Company and were made to assure that the Offering would not require stockholder approval under NYSE MKT rules.
The net proceeds to the Company of the Offering are estimated to be $4.2 million, after giving effect to underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the offering. The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about February 4, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Offering is registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-197876) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2014 and declared effective on August 20, 2014, and a related Prospectus Supplement dated January 30, 2015.
The Underwriting Agreement is being filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Baker & Hostetler LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued an opinion to the Company, dated January 30, 2015, regarding the Shares to be sold in the Offering. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
