Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on December 15, 2023, Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Maxim, as sales agent or principal, shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. On March 8, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to provide for the sale of up to $785,679 of additional shares under the Agreement.

 

Sales of shares of common stock under the Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, will be made pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275311), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 20, 2023, and a related prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024, for an aggregate offering price of up to $785,679.

 

The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 1 and the original Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 1, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the original Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on December 18, 2023.

 

A copy of the opinion of Burns & Levinson, LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of shares under the Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, 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 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.

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express the Company’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements related to the Company’s future activities, or future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performances and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, except as required by law.
