On July 20, 2021, AnPac Bio-Medical Science Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors pursuant to which the Company issued to the investors convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $3,014,000 at the aggregate offering price of US$2,740,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on July 22, 2021.
The Convertible Debentures will mature twelve months after issuance and carries an interest rate of 0% per year, subject to certain condition that may increase the rate to 15% per year. The Convertible Debentures can be converted into our American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each representing one Class A ordinary share, par value US$0.01 per share, at any time on or prior to maturity at the lower of (i) $15.00, or (ii) the lower of (x) 82% of the closing bid price in the last reported trade of the ADSs or (y) 80% of the VWAPs (daily dollar volume-weighted average price) during the 10 consecutive trading days, immediately preceding the date of conversion or other date of determination (the “Variable Conversion Price”), but not lower than the floor price of $2.50. If the closing bid price during each of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination is lower than $2.50. The floor price shall be adjusted to equal the average closing bid price of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, but in no event should the floor price be lower than $1.00 per share. The conversion rate of the Convertible Debentures is subject to adjustments under the terms of the Convertible Debentures. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we will not issue any ADSs pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debentures if the issuance of such ADSs would exceed the aggregate number of ADSs that we may issue upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures in compliance with our obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market (the number of ADSs which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations is 2,808,601 ADSs, representing 2,808,601 Class A ordinary shares), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that we (A) obtain the approval of our shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Market for issuances of ADSs in excess of such amount or (B) obtain a written opinion from an outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required under British Virgin Islands laws. The Company has the right, but not the obligation to redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debentures.
The Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-256630) filed by the Company on May 28, 2021, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 7, 2021 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company filed the prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement on July 22, 2021.
