Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 4, 2023, Actelis Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor in a private placement (the “Offering”) (i) 190,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), (ii) 754,670 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 754,670 shares of Common Stock and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 944,670 shares of Common Stock (“Common Warrants” and collectively with the Shares and the Common Warrants, the “Securities”) for a purchase price of $3.705 per share of Common Stock and related Common Warrant or $3.7049 per Pre-Funded Warrant and related Common Warrant, for a total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. The Offering closed on May 8, 2023.

The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $3.58 per share, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire five and one-half years following the issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants were sold in lieu of shares of Common Stock, are exercisable immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and expire when exercised in full. Under the terms of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, the Investor may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause the Investor, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% (or, at such Investor’s option upon issuance, 9.99%), of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. The Purchase Agreement also provides that, subject to certain exceptions, until 60 days after the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with Offering, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents or file a registration statement other than one in connection with the Offering. The Purchase Agreement also provides that, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of one year following the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with Offering, the Company will be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a variable rate transaction, which generally includes any transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of common stock either (A) at a conversion price or exchange rate that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of common stock at any time after the initial issuance of such securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the common stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price.

As part of the Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 4, 2023, with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file the registration statement by May 24, 2023 and cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 45 days after May 4, 2023 (or 75 days in the event the registration statement is reviewed in “full”). If the Company fails to meet the specified filing deadlines or keep the registration statement effective, subject to certain permitted exceptions, the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement provide that the Company will be required to pay certain liquidated damages to the Investor. The Company also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the Investor under the registration statement from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Offering of the Securities, including any shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder, was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the Securities. The Company has agreed to pay up to an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Offering. The Company also agreed to pay Wainwright $65,000 for non-accountable expenses and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering. The Company also agreed to issue to Wainwright, or its designees, unregistered warrants to purchase up to 7.0% of the aggregate number of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants sold to the Investor (or warrants to purchase up to 66,127 shares of Common Stock) at an exercise price per share of $4.6313 and a term of five and one-half years (the “Placement Agent Warrant”). The Placement Agent Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
