Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 16, 2022, Takung Art Co., Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into certain securities purchase agreement (the “Feb 16 SPA”) with certain “non-U.S. Persons” (the “Purchasers”) as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 11,770,240 units, each consisting of one share of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and a warrant to purchase three shares of Common Stock. The purchase price of each Unit is $2.5488. The gross proceeds to the Company from this offering will be approximately $30 million.
Upon further discussion among the parties, on February 23, 2022, the Company and the Purchasers agreed to terminate the Feb 16 SPA pursuant to certain Termination Agreement and entered into a new securities purchase agreement (the “Feb 23 SPA”). The Feb 16 SPA and the Feb 23 SPA are substantially on the same terms except the per Unit purchase price. Pursuant to the Feb 23 SPA, the Company agreed to sell 11,952,190 units (the “Units”), each consisting of one share of Common Stock (the “Shares”) and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase three shares of Common Stock. The purchase price of each Unit is $2.51. The gross proceeds to the Company from this offering will be approximately $30 million.

The Warrants are exercisable at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date at an initial exercise price of $3.1375 for cash (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants may also be exercised cashlessly if at any time after the nine-month anniversary of the issuance date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares. The Warrants shall expire five and a half years from its date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions reflecting stock dividends and splits or other similar transactions.
