Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Underwriting Agreement
On November 8, 2021, Stran & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, as the representative (the “Representative”) for the underwriters listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to the initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 4,337,349 units of the Company (collectively, the “Units”), at a price to the public of $4.15 per Unit (the “Offering Price”), with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”), before underwriting discounts and commissions. Each whole share of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to the Warrants will have an exercise price per share at $5.1875, equal to 125% of the initial public offering price per Unit in this Offering. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The Units will not be certificated. The shares of Common Stock and related Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately, but must be purchased together as a Unit in this Offering. The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 650,602 shares of Common Stock and/or Warrants to purchase up to 650,602 shares of Common Stock at the Offering Price less the underwriting discounts, representing fifteen percent (15%) of the Units sold in the Offering, from the Company.
On November 12, 2021, the closing of the Offering was completed. At the closing, the Representative fully exercised its option to purchase an additional 650,602 shares of Common Stock and 650,602 Warrants. Therefore, the Company sold 4,987,951 shares of Common Stock and 4,987,951 Warrants for total gross proceeds of $20,699,996.65. After deducting the underwriting commission and expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $18,747,317.
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-260109), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and became effective on November 8, 2021 (the “Initial Registration Statement”), and the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-260880), which was filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was effective immediately upon filing on November 8, 2021.
