Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 28, 2021, Better Choice Company Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with D.A. Davidson & Co., acting as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriter”), for an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a price equal to $5.00 per share (after giving effect to a 1-for-6 reverse stock split, discussed below) for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,000,000 prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase an additional 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock, at the public offering price per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments.
Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed that for a period of 180 days from June 29, 2021, the Company will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, other than (1) the shares of Common Stock to be sold under the Underwriting Agreement, (2) the issuance of equity awards to acquire shares of Common Stock via exercise or vesting granted pursuant to the Company’s existing benefit plans, as such plans may be amended pursuant to past practices, (3) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or vesting of any equity awards granted pursuant to the Company’s existing benefit plans, as such plans may be amended, or (4) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Company’s issued and outstanding convertible promissory notes and Series F Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Company’s issued and outstanding warrants.
The Underwriting Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company, including an expense reimbursement obligation not to exceed $150,000. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
As an inducement for the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, our officers, directors and stockholders holding five percent or more of our outstanding Common Stock entered into “lock-up” agreements. Pursuant to these lock-up agreements, such persons agreed that for a period of 180 days following the closing of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions as specified in such agreements, they will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of or hedge any of our shares of Common Stock, any options, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of our Common Stock. Holders of approximately 11,000,000 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock (post-Reverse Stock Split) are subject to such lock-up agreement.
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement (which includes the form of lock-up agreement) is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the lock-up agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws
On June 28, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effectuate a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 1-for-6 basis. The Certificate of Amendment became effective at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 28, 2021 (the “Effective Time”). As of the Effective Time, every six shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional share resulting from the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the next whole share. The Company’s transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer, LLC acted as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the Company’s Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split caused a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s outstanding Series F Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, in proportion to the exchange ratio for the Reverse Stock Split and caused a proportionate increase in the conversion price of such shares of the Series F Preferred Stock. However, the Reverse Stock Split did not impact the authorized number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the number of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock or the par value of the Series F Preferred Stock. In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan will be reduced proportionately.

The NYSE American approved the listing of the Common Stock under the symbol “BTTR”. The Common Stock ceased trading on OTCQX at the close of trading on June 28, 2021 and commenced trading on NYSE American on June 29, 2021.
The Offering closed on July 1, 2021. In the Offering the Company sold 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a per shares price of $5.00 for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,000,000 (prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses). The Company issued a press release on July 1, 2021 announcing the closing of the Offering.
The press releases described above are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
