Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 21, 2020, Biomerica, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Palm Global Small Cap Master Fund LP ("Palm") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to Palm, and Palm agreed to purchase from the Company, 571,429 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.08 par value per share (the "Series A Preferred Shares") for a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of approximately $2 million, or $3.50 per Series A Preferred Share (such transaction, the "Share Issuance").

On February 26, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of the Series A Preferred Shares to Palm (the "Closing"). The issuance and sale of the Series A Preferred Shares was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Shares to register the shares of Common Stock, $0.08 par value per share of the Company, issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, for resale and for the general corporate purposes of the Company.

The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. Until the third anniversary of the Closing, Palm will have certain rights to purchase a pro rata portion (based on the number of Conversion Shares beneficially owned by Palm) of any equity securities, or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for any equity securities, in certain proposed offerings by the Company (the "Participation Rights"). Palm's Participation Rights will not apply in connection with certain excluded transactions, including any acquisitions, strategic partnerships or commercial arrangements entered into by the Company or any equity compensation plans, public offerings, transactions resulting in less than $2.0M of gross proceeds to the Company, and transactions pursuant to the Company's At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated December 1, 2017, between the Company and B. Riley FBR, Inc.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, on February 26, 2020 the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Purchaser that will, among other things, require the Company to register the shares of Common Stock, $0.08 par value per share (the "Common Stock") issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares (the "Conversion Shares") at the request of Palm or certain transferees of Palm. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, these registration rights will not become effective until the earlier of nine months following the Closing and the date on which all Series A Preferred Shares have been converted into Conversion Shares. Palm will have one demand registration right pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The costs incurred in connection with such registrations will be borne by the Company.

Series A Certificate of Designation

On February 24, 2020, as required by the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a certificate of designation setting forth the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Shares. On February 26, 2020, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a certificate of correction, correcting certain language defects in the previously filed certificate of designation (as corrected, the "Certificate of Designation").
