On March 27, 2023, WiSA Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such investors (i) in a registered direct offering, 837,209 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, common stock purchase warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), exercisable for an aggregate of up to 1,674,418 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.91 per share of Common Stock. The securities to be issued in the registered direct offering were offered pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File 333-267211) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on September 1, 2022 and declared effective on September 13, 2022.

The Private Placement Warrants (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) were not registered under the Securities Act, and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The Private Placement Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance, will expire five years from the date of issuance, and in certain circumstances may be exercised on a cashless basis.

The offering is expected to close on or about March 29, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company expects to raise gross proceeds of approximately $1.80 million before deducting fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. In the event that all Private Placement Warrants are exercised for cash, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $3.20 million. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to partially or fully repay the outstanding principal amount of a senior secured convertible note issued to an institutional investor (the “August Investor”) on August 15, 2022, as amended (the “Convertible Note”), and to use the remainder of the net proceeds for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, and other general corporate purposes, including investments in sales and marketing in the United States and internationally. The Company has not allocated specific amounts of net proceeds for any of these purposes; however, the Company is required pursuant to the terms of that certain securities purchase agreement, dated August 15, 2022, by and between the Company and the August Investor, to direct at least 20% of the gross proceeds of the offering to repay a portion of the Convertible Note.

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required within 45 days of the closing date of the offering to file a registration statement on Form S-1 registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective within 180 days of the closing date of the offering, and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no investor owns any Private Placement Warrants or shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company may not, subject to certain exceptions, (i) offer, issue, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities for a period of thirty (30) days following the closing date of the offering; and (ii) from the closing date of the offering until the six-month anniversary of such date, effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock or common stock equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company or the investors, as the case may be, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K with respect to the use of proceeds of the offering is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K with respect to the issuance of Private Placement Warrants is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, which can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “potential,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “continue,” “likely to” and other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by its management, including, without limitation, the timing of the offering’s anticipated close date, and the Company’s intended use of proceeds upon consummation of the offering. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including, among other things, the Company’s ability to satisfy closing conditions for the offering, general market conditions and the economic environment, and those risks that may be included in the periodic reports and other filings that the Company files from time to time with the SEC, which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law.
