Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 4, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Cuentas Inc. (the “Company”) sold an aggregate of 2,790,697 units at a price to the public of $4.30 per unit (the “Offering”), each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and a warrant exercisable for five years to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.30 per share (the “Warrants”), pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (the “Representative” or “Maxim”), as representative of the sole underwriter. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 418,604 additional shares of Common Stock, and/or 418,604 additional Warrants, to cover over-allotments in connection with the Offering.

 

The Common Stock and the Warrants were offered and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-249690 and 333-252642), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on October 28, 2020, as amended, and which became effective on February 1, 2021.

 

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $12.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds and estimated Offering expenses, and intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering for sales and marketing; purchase of chip-based debit card stock for GPR and Starter cards; repayment of outstanding loans; research and development; and working capital and operating expenses purposes. The Company issued press releases announcing the pricing and closing of the Offering, which have been filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this report.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriter for losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the offering, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, certain existing stockholders and each of the Company’s directors and executive officers entered into “lock-up” agreements with the Underwriter that generally prohibit the sale, transfer, or other disposition of securities of the Company for a period of 180 days following February 1, 2021. The Company has also agreed that it will not issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any common stock or common stock equivalents for a period of 180 days following the closing date, other than certain exempt issuances.

 

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue to the Underwriter warrants (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”) to purchase up to a total of 223,256 shares of Common Stock (8% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering). The Underwriter’s Warrants are exercisable at $5.375 per share of Common Stock and have a term of five years. The Underwriter’s Warrants are subject to a lock-up for 180 days from the commencement of sales in the Offering, including a mandatory lock-up period in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e), and will be non-exercisable for six (6) months after February 1, 2021. A copy of the form of the Underwriter’s Warrant has been filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this report, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action to receive shares of post-reverse stock split common stock. Stockholders who hold shares of common stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
