Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 18, 2018, Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Needham & Company, LLC and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), in connection with the public offering (the "Offering"), issuance and sale by the Company of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at the public offering price of $4.00 per share, less underwriting discounts. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to 375,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts.

 

The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-227127), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 31, 2018, and declared effective on September 12, 2018, a base prospectus dated September 12, 2018, and a prospectus supplement dated September 18, 2018.

 

The Company expects to receive net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $9.1 million, or approximately $10.5 million if the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

 

The Offering is expected to close on or about September 20, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, and termination provisions. The Underwriting Agreement has been attached hereto as an exhibit to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms.  It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company.  The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.

 

The above description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On September 18, 2018, the Company issued press releases announcing the Offering and the pricing of the Offering. The press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
