Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 15, 2014, usell.com Inc. (the “Company”) raised $4,650,000 from the sale of 1,550,000 units in a registered direct offering to five institutional and accredited investors, including two existing large shareholders. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase one-half a share of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price paid by the investors was $3.00 per unit. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.20 per share.
Pursuant to a Placement Agent Agreement dated August 11, 2014 by and between the Company and Dawson James Securities, Inc. (“Dawson”) (the “Placement Agent Agreement”), Dawson agreed to act as the Company’s placement agent in connection with the offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Dawson a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the offering, as well as a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of the offering. In addition, the Company issued to Dawson a five-year option to purchase up to an aggregate of 6% of the aggregate number of units sold in the offering (the “Unit Purchase Option”), exercisable at $3.75 per unit.
The net proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, are approximately $3,775,000. At the closing, the Company issued 1,550,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 775,000 shares of common stock, and the Unit Purchase Option to purchase 93,000 units.
The units, shares and the warrants were issued, and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants were issued, pursuant to the Prospectus dated August 11, 2014 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2014.
