Item 8.01 Other.
On February 17, 2021, Longeveron Inc. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 2,660,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) for a price of $10.00 per share, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. Pursuant to the terms of that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2021, by and between the Company and Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc., as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 399,000 additional shares of its Common Stock on the same terms and conditions for the purpose of covering any over-allotments.
Subsequently, the underwriters exercised in part the over-allotment option, and on March 15, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of an additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock for a price of $10.00 per share, less a 7.0% underwriting commission. The exercise of the over-allotment option brings the total number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Company in connection with the IPO to 2,910,000 shares and the total net proceeds received in connection with the offering to approximately $27 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.
The offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252234), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 11, 2021 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1MEF (File No. 333-253029). A final prospectus describing the terms of the offering was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021 and is available on the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.
