Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 12, 2026, bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (“the “Purchaser”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of (i) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a purchase price of $0.4657 per Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,462,027 shares (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.007 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) Series A warrants to purchase up to 8,462,027 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrants,” and the shares issuable upon exercise thereof, the “Series A Warrant Shares”); and (iii) Series B warrants to purchase up to 8,462,027 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrants,” together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) and the shares issuable upon exercise thereof, the “Series B Warrant Shares,” together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”). The Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”
Each Warrant has an initial exercise price of $0.4727 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms thereof upon the first occurrence of any share split, share dividend, share combination recapitalization or other similar transaction. The Warrants are exercisable following Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Warrants will expire five (5) years after issuance. A holder may not exercise any portion of the Warrants to the extent the Purchaser would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise. A holder may increase or decrease this percentage with respect to either the Series A Warrants or the Series B Warrants to a percentage not in excess of 9.99%, except that any such increase shall require at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at a nominal exercise price of $0.007 per share of Common Stock at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent the Purchaser would own more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise.
WallachBeth Capital LLC (the “Placement Agent”) served as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement, pursuant to that certain placement agency agreement, dated as of August 12, 2026, between the Company and WallachBeth (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement and agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses and legal fees. The Company also issued warrants to designees of the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 3.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock placed in the Offering, equating to 253,861 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”). The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.4727 per share.
The Placement Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contain customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of August 12, 2026, with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale of Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants no later than 15 days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to use best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event no later than 45 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (or 75 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement in the event of a “full review” by the Securities and Exchange Commission).
The Private Placement closed on August 14, 2026. The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement are expected to be approximately $3.6 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
