Public Offering:
 
On February 16, 2024, ToughBuilt Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), completed a public offering (the “Offering”) of (i)
 
140,000
 
shares
 
(the
 
“Common Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) prefunded warrants (the “Prefunded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 632,628 shares of Common Stock (the “Prefunded Warrant Shares”); and (iii) Series F Warrants (the “Series F Warrants”)exercisable for an aggregate of 772,628 shares of Common Stock (the “Series F Warrant Shares”) issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and certain institutional investors (the “Investors”).
 
The offering price of each
Common Share
and accompanying
Series F Warrant was $4.53. The offering price of each Prefunded Warrant and accompanying Series F Warrant was $4.5299. The Common Shares, Prefunded Warrants, Prefunded Warrant Shares, Series F Warrants and Series F Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”


The Series F Warrants have an exercise price of $4.405 per share of Common Stock, are exercisable upon issuance and expire five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Series F Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reorganizations, recapitalizations and similar capital transactions as described in the Series F Warrants.
 
The Prefunded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at a nominal consideration of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock at any time until all of the Prefunded Warrants are exercised in full.
 
The Series F Warrants and Prefunded Warrants contain ownership limitations pursuant to which a holder does not have the right to exercise any portion of their warrants if it would result in the holder (together with its affiliates) beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
 
In consideration for H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC serving as the placement agent of the Offering (the “Placement Agent”), the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, a management fee equal to 0.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, and reimbursed the Placement Agent for certain expenses and legal fees. The Company also issued warrants to designees of the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 46,358
 
shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”). The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Series F Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $5.6625 per share (125% of the $4.53 offering price of the Common Share and accompanying Series F Warrant), and expire on the fifth anniversary from the date of the commencement of sales in the Offering, February 13, 2029.
 
 
The Securities, the Placement Agent Warrants and Placement Agent Warrant Shares were offered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-276008), as amended, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 13, 2024.
 
The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3.1 million from the Offering, after deducting Offering expenses payable by the Company, including the Placement Agent’s commissions and  fees. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
 
Forms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Series F Warrant, Prefunded Warrant and Placement Agent Warrant are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated by reference herein.
