Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May
26, 2020, Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the
“Investors”) in a private placement (the “Private
Placement”) pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate
of 2,237,103 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $1.52 per
share. Several of the Company’s existing investors
participated in the Private Placement, including Palm Global Small
Cap Master Fund LP (“Palm”), the Company’s
cofounder Frank Manning and the Company’s Executive
Chairman Jeremy Hitchcock. Mr. David Allen also participated in the
Private Placement. Palm acted as lead investor in the transaction.
The Private Placement closed on May 27, 2020, and the gross
proceeds to the Company at the closing are approximately $3.4
million.
Pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Investors agreed to certain
lock-up restrictions on their ability to dispose of the Common
Stock purchased in the Private Placement for six months following
the closing date, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
within thirty (30) days of the closing of the Private Placement to
register for resale the shares of Common Stock sold in the Private
Placement.
The
Company is required under the Purchase Agreement to appoint Mr.
Joshua Horowitz and Mr. David Allen to the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”). Effective upon completion of
the Private Placement, the Company’s Board was expanded to
nine directors and Messrs. Horowitz and Allen were appointed to the
newly created Board positions. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
Palm has the right to designate Mr. Horowitz or another designee to
the Board for five years after the date of the Purchase Agreement
and to request that its designee be appointed to each committee of
the Board to the extent approved by an affirmative vote of a
majority of the Board and as otherwise permitted by applicable
Securities and Exchange Commission and stock market requirements.
The Board and committee designation right will terminate upon Palm
ceasing to own at least 5% of the Company’s Common Stock (as
calculated for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934).
Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, Palm agreed to a standstill for a period ending
not later than the earliest to occur of five years after the date
of completion of the Private Placement and two years after Mr.
Horowitz or the Palm designee who succeeds him no longer serves on
the Board.
Palm
previously purchased 136,364 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock in the private placement that the Company completed on May 3,
2019. Palm is entitled to certain rights granted under the stock
purchase agreement that was entered into in connection with that
private placement as described in the Company’s Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2019,
Item 1.01 of which is incorporated herein by
reference.
A copy
of the Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. The
foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to
be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated by
reference.
Item
3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
See
the disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
The
shares of Common Stock issued and sold pursuant in the Private
Placement were issued without registration and are subject to
restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
reliance on the private offering exemptions contained in Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and on Regulation D
promulgated thereunder.
Item
5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
Effective upon the closing of the Private
Placement, the Board approved an increase in the size of the Board
from seven to nine members and appointed Mr. Horowitz and
Mr. Allen to the Board to fill the
resulting vacancies.
Mr.
Horowitz and Mr. Allen were appointed to the Board pursuant to the
board designation rights in the Purchase Agreement as described in
Item 1.01 above. Neither Mr. Horowitz nor Mr. Allen has any family
relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company
or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a
director or officer. Except as described in Item 1.01 above, there
are no transactions in which either Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Allen have
an interest requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of
Regulation S-K.
Item
7.01

On May
27, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the
