Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Note Conversion and Warrant Amendments

 

As previously reported, Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) on September 7, 2023, entered into a Senior Unsecured Promissory Drawdown Loan Note (the “MSW Note”) with Matthews Southwest Holdings, Inc. (“MSW”). The MSW Note provided for an unsecured drawdown loan of up to $1,000,000. As of November 14, 2023, the Company had drawn $500,000 under the MSW Note and issued 1,000,000 Warrants (the “Existing MSW Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) in lieu of certain fees payable under the MSW Note.

 

In addition, also as previously reported, on January 24, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 24, 2020 (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), by and among the Company, Front Range Ventures LLC (“FRV”) and John Q. Adams (“Adams”). Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $500,000 was issued to FRV (the “FRV Note”) and a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $500,000 was issued to Adams (the “Adams Note”). The Loan and Security Agreement was further amended on September 29, 2023 to amend the dates on which principal and accrued interest are due under the Adams Note, such that accrued and unpaid interest since June 28, 2022 will be due and payable on December 31, 2023, and the principal amount together with all accrued and unpaid interest after December 31, 2023 will be due and payable on March 31, 2024. As consideration for such extension, on October 2, 2023, the Company issued FRV and Adams warrants (the “$1M Lender Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share.

  

On November 15, 2023, MSW and Adams (collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Company, entered into two separate note conversion letter agreements (collectively, the “Note Conversion Letter Agreements”). Pursuant to the Note Conversion Letter Agreements, in consideration for the conversion of the aggregate principal and interest amount due under the MSW Note and the Adams Note (collectively, the “Notes”), on November 16, 2023, the Company: (1) issued an aggregate of 6,781,288 shares of Common Stock to the Lenders, comprised of (a) 3,125,000 shares of Common Stock to MSW and (b) 3,656,288 shares of Common Stock issued to Adams; (2) entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement with MSW, amending the Existing MSW Warrants to reduce the exercise price of an aggregate of 1,000,000 Existing MSW Warrants to $0.16 per share (the “MSW Warrant Amendment”); and (3) entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement with Adams, amending the $1M Lender Warrants owned by Adams to reduce the exercise price of an aggregate of 107,575 $1M Lender Warrants to $0.16 per share (the “Adams Warrant Amendment”). Except as expressly set forth in the MSW Warrant Amendment and the Adams Warrant Amendment, the terms and provisions of the warrants held by the Lenders shall remain in full force and effect.

 

The description of terms and conditions of the Note Conversion Letter Agreements, the MSW Warrant Amendment and the Adams Warrant Amendment set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Note Conversion Letter Agreement with MSW, the Note Conversion Letter Agreement with Adams, the MSW Warrant Amendment and the Adams Warrant Amendment attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Closing of Mount Sinai Transaction

 

As previously reported, on September 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) and entered into multiple definitive license agreements (each, a “License Agreement” and collectively, the “License Agreements”) with Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“Mount Sinai”) to commercialize a range of AI-based cardiovascular algorithms developed by Mount Sinai, as well as a memorandum of understanding for ongoing cooperation encompassing de-identified data access, on-going research, and the evaluation of the Company’s MyoVista device.

 

Also as previously reported, the effectiveness of the licenses under the License Agreements was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including that the Company complete one or more financings in which we receive aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 (the “Financing Requirement”) prior to December 31, 2023. On November 15, 2023, the Company satisfied the Financing Requirement and, accordingly, the licenses under the License Agreements were deemed effective.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, on November 16, 2023, the Company issued to Mount Sinai:

 

4,854,853 shares of Common Stock;

 

  pre-funded common stock purchase warrants (the “MTS Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 710,605 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price per share of $0.00001, in lieu of shares of Common Stock issuable to Mount Sinai to ensure that the number of shares of Common Stock held by Mount Sinai did not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the MTS Pre-Funded Warrants); and

 

  common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 914,148 shares of Common Stock, having an exercise price per share equal to $0.5060 (the “MTS Warrants”), which warrants shall be exercisable immediately upon (x) completion of any financing of at least $10,000,000 raised by the Company (the “Additional Financing”) from the period commencing August 1, 2023 and ending on or prior to June 30, 2024 or (y) waiver by Mount Sinai of the Company’s requirement to complete the Additional Financing.

 

The License Agreements may be terminated by Mount Sinai if we have not completed the Additional Financing by June 30, 2024.

 

The foregoing description of the SPA, the MTS Pre-Funded Warrants, and MTS Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the SPA, the MTS Pre-Funded Warrants, and MTS Warrants, which were filed as exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated September 20, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2023, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Second Amended Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim Group LLC

 

As previously reported, on September 18, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Original EDA”), with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim Group”) as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, an aggregate of up to $3,250,000 of shares of Common Stock, in an “at the market” offering (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).

 

On November 9, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original EDA (the “First Amended EDA”) with Maxim Group pursuant to which, among other things, the Company may issue and sell up to $10,000,000 of its shares of Common Stock from time to time through the Sales Agent subject to certain selling limitations.

 

On November 17, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Original EDA (the “Second Amended EDA” and, together with the Original EDA and the First Amended EDA, the “EDA”) with Maxim Group pursuant to which, among other things, the Company may issue and sell $15,000,000 of its shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) from time to time through the Sales Agent; provided, however, that in no event will the Company issue or sell through the Sales Agent such number of shares of Common Stock that would cause the Company or the offering of its shares of Common Stock to not satisfy the eligibility and transaction requirements for use of Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3). Pursuant to the Second Amended EDA, Maxim will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate equal to 4.0% of the gross sales price per share sold on or after November 17, 2023 pursuant to the EDA (for any shares of Common Stock sold under the Original EDA and the First Amended EDA, Maxim was entitled to compensation at a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold), and the Company has agreed to reimburse Maxim Group’s legal fees and expenses up to $90,000. As of November 17, 2023, the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates was $33,108,931, which was calculated based on 47,707,393 outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates on November17, 2023 and a price per share of $0.69, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on September 18, 2023 and is the highest closing sale price of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market within the prior 60 days. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will the Company sell the shelf securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of the Company’s voting and non-voting ordinary shares held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period as long as the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $75 million. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has sold approximately $6.0 million worth of shares of Common Stock pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3.

 

The shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the EDA have been registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-274554) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 28, 2023, and will be issued and sold pursuant to the at the market offering prospectus contained therein, as amended and supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated November 9, 2023 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on November 13, 2023, and as it may be further amended and supplement from time to time.

  

The foregoing description of the EDA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Original EDA, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated September 22, 2023, the First Amended EDA which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 9, 2023, and the Second Amended EDA which is filed as Exhibit 1.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference. The legal opinion of Foley Shechter Ablovatskiy LLP, counsel to the Company, relating to the validity of the additional shares of Common Stock being offered pursuant to the EDA is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274554)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Heart Test Laboratories, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance and sale by the Company, from time to time, of up to $11,036,310 of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company pursuant to that certain Equity Distribution Agreement, dated September 18, 2023, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Equity Distribution Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2023, and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to Equity Distribution Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2023 (collectively, the “Agreement”), entered into by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC, as sales agent pursuant to an “at the market” offering prospectus, dated September 28, 2023 (the “Prospectus”) as amended and supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated November 9, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement No. 1”) and a prospectus supplement No. 2 dated November 17, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement No. 2”) that form a part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274554) (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), on September 18, 2023, and declared effective by the Commission on September 28, 2023.

 

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement No. 1, the Prospectus Supplement No. 2 and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company’s certificate of formation and bylaws, both as currently in effect, certain resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares and such other documents, records and other instruments as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of the opinion set forth herein. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon representations of officers or directors of the Company and documents furnished to us by the Company without independent verification of their accuracy.

Re:Conversion of Senior Unsecured Promissory Drawdown Loan Note into Equity ($500,000 Drawn)

 

Dear Adam:

 

This Note Conversion Letter Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of the first date written above, is entered into between Heart Test Laboratories, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and You the undersigned holder (the “Noteholder”) of the Company’s Senior Unsecured Promissory Drawdown Loan Note dated September 6, 2023 (the “Notes”), to confirm the agreement between the Company and the Noteholder to convert such principal amount of the Noteholder’s Notes and accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, as of November 16, 2023 (as indicated on the signature page hereto) (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”), into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at the rate of $0.16 per share (the “Conversion Price”). As an example, a Noteholder holding the Note with the Conversion Amount of $100,000 would receive upon conversion of such Note 625,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties, the parties mutually agree as follows:

 

1. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Note owned by the Noteholder, and accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock (and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below)) at the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Shares”), without any additional action by the Noteholder. As a result of the conversion pursuant to this Section 1(a), the Noteholder’s Note shall be deemed fully satisfied, null and void, and the Company shall no longer owe any amounts, sums or any other payments or consideration to the Noteholder in connection with the Note (other than the Conversion Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants). Promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate for his, her or its respective number of Conversion Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants duly authorized and executed by the Company.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Noteholder determines, in its sole discretion, that such Noteholder (together with such Noteholder’s affiliates, and any person acting as a group together with such Noteholder or any of such Noteholder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below), or as the Noteholder may otherwise choose, the Noteholder may elect to convert Noteholder’s Note into the Conversion Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) in lieu of some or all of the Conversion Shares, as applicable. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares.

 

 

 

 

2. As of the date hereof, with respect the Conversion Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”), the Noteholder reaffirms each of the representations and warranties made, if any, in the Notes, including, but not limited to, that the Noteholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

3. This Agreement is made by the Company in reliance upon the Noteholder’s representations to the Company, which by the Noteholder’s execution of this Agreement, the Noteholder hereby confirms, that the Securities to be received by the Noteholder will be acquired for investment for the Noteholder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Noteholder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Noteholder further represents that the Noteholder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

 

4. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that such first party has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform his, her or its obligations hereunder, and such agreement constitutes his valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited bylaws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

5. The Noteholder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption there from, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bonafide nature of the Noteholder’s investment intent as expressed herein.

 

6. The Noteholder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

7. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules or provisions. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of all state and federal courts sitting in the City of Dallas, State of Texas, the venue of the City of Dallas, State of Texas and all actions, disputes, claims and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in any state or federal court located in the City of Dallas, State of Texas.

 

8. The parties agree to take all such further action(s) as may reasonably be necessary to carry outland consummate this Agreement as soon as practicable, and to take whatever steps may be necessary to obtain any governmental approval in connection with or otherwise qualify the issuance of the Conversion Shares that are the subject of this Agreement.

 

9. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on and shall be enforceable by the parties and their respective, successors and permitted assigns.

 

10. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by email shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
