Item. 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 31, 2022, bioAffinity Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement with WallachBeth Capital, LLC, as representative of the underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriting Agreement”), relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,282,600 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $6.125 per Unit (the “Offering Price”). Each Unit consists of (i) one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.007 per share (“Common Stock”), (ii) one tradeable warrant (a “Tradeable Warrant”) exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.35 per share, and (iii) one non-tradeable warrant (a “Non-tradeable Warrant”; together with each Tradeable Warrant, the “Warrants”) exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.656 per share.
The Units were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-264463), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 25, 2022 and later amended (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on August 29, 2022. The closing of the Offering for the Units took place on September 6, 2022. A final prospectus describing the terms of the offering was filed with the Commission on September 2, 2022, and is available on the Commission’s website located at http://www.sec.gov.
The Company’s Common Stock and Tradeable Warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 1, 2022 under the symbols “BIAF” and “BIAFW,” respectively. The sale of Units in the Offering generated gross proceeds to the Company of $7,855,925 before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and for general corporate purposes, which may include product and test development, general and administrative matters, and capital expenditures.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that the parties thereto made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other party in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that Underwriting Agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and schedules and exhibits thereto, including the representations and warranties contained therein respectively, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such documents and agreements and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with the Commission. A form of the Underwriting Agreement was previously filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. The description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the final, executed Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Forms of the Tradeable Warrant and the Non-tradeable Warrant were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement. The previously filed forms of the Warrants have been replaced and superseded by the final forms for the Warrants which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
On September 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Warrant Agent Agreement with VStock Transfer, LLC, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”; such agreement, the “Warrant Agent Agreement”). The Warrant Agent Agreement sets forth the procedures for registering, transferring and exercising the Warrants, the procedure for amending the Warrant Agent Agreement, and the terms of the Company’s indemnification of the Warrant Agent. A form of the Warrant Agent Agreement was previously filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. The description of the Warrant Agent Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the final, executed Warrant Agent Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Update on Company’s Intellectual Property Portfolio
The Registration Statement and the final prospectus describing the terms of the Offering included information about the Company’s intellectual property portfolio. The Company disclosed that two of its U.S. patents would expire in 2022. In fact, one of the Company’s U.S. patents relating to the Company’s diagnostic test called CyPath® Lung and the method for making a solution of the porphyrin called meso-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphine or “TCPP” expired in August 2022. The expired patent will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. There are other ways of making a TCPP solution for the same purpose and there will be a continued ability to do so in the absence of the expired patent.
