Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on
June 27, 2022, Takung Art Co., Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into certain securities purchase
agreement (the “SPA”) with certain “non-U.S. Persons” (the “Purchasers”) as defined
in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as amended on July 27, 2022, pursuant
to which the Company agreed to sell 10,380,623 units (the “Unit”), each Unit consisting of one share of the common
stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and a warrant to purchase two shares of Common
Stock (the “Warrant”). The purchase price of each Unit was $2.89. The gross proceeds to the Company from this offering
will be approximately $30 million.
Upon further discussion among
the parties, on August 24, 2022, the termination date of the Warrant has been amended from five (5) years to one and a half (1.5) years,
and the exercise price for each Warrant has been amended from $3.6125 to $2.375.
The issuance and sale of the
Units is exempted from the registration requirement of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder.
The Warrants are exercisable
at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date at an initial exercise price of $2.375 for cash (the “Warrant
Shares”). The Warrants may also be exercised cashlessly if at any time after the nine-month anniversary of the issuance date,
there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares. The
Warrants shall expire one and a half years from its date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions reflecting
stock dividends and splits or other similar transactions.
The parties to the Amended
SPA have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among other things, (a) the Investors are “non-U.S.
Persons” as defined in Regulation S and are acquiring the Units for the purpose of investment, (b) the absence of any undisclosed
material adverse effects, and (c) the absence of legal proceedings that affect the completion of the transaction contemplated by
the Amended SPA.
The Amended SPA is subject
to various conditions to closing including NYSE American’s completion of its review of the notification to NYSE American regarding
the listing of the Units.
The net proceeds of this offering
shall be used by the Company in connection with the Company’s general corporate purposes, working capital, or other related business
as approved by the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company.
The forms of the Amended SPA
and Warrant are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and such documents are incorporated
herein by reference. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Amended SPA and the Warrant does not purport
to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and are qualified in their entirety by reference
to such exhibits.
