Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 18, 2022, American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"),
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with two
institutional accredited investors (each, a "Purchaser," and collectively, the
"Purchasers"), relating to the issuance and sale of (i) an aggregate of
5,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001
per share ("Common Stock"), in a registered direct offering (the "Offering"),
and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common
Stock (the "Warrants"), in a concurrent private placement (the "Private
Placement"). The combined purchase price of each Share and accompanying Warrant
is $2.00. The closing of the Offering and the Private Placement (the "Closing")
is expected to occur on or about October 20, 2022, subject to customary closing
conditions.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering and the concurrent Private
Placement are expected to be approximately $10,000,000, before deducting
placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends
to use the net proceeds from the Offering and the concurrent Private Placement
for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The terms of the Warrants to be issued in the Private Placement shall be as set
forth in the form of Warrant attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K. The Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.80 per share, will be
exercisable commencing 45 days following the Closing, and will expire two years
from the date of issuance.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will be required to
file, within 30 days of the date of the Purchase Agreement, a registration
statement to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants (the "Resale Registration Statement"). In addition, the
Company has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to issue or agree to
issue any shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents for a period ending
on the later of (i) 90 days after the date of the Closing and (ii) the date on
which the Resale Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and
agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing and indemnification
obligations of the Company and the Purchasers. The representations, warranties
and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of
the Purchase Agreement and as of a specific date, were solely for the benefit of
the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the contracting parties.
The Shares were offered, and will be issued, pursuant to an effective
registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-258136), as
previously filed with and declared effective by the SEC, a base prospectus
included as part of the registration statement, and a final prospectus
supplement filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). This Current Report on Form 8-K
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation to buy nor shall there
be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

The Warrants and underlying shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Warrant
Securities"), each to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption from registration requirements. The Company is relying on the private
placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act and by Rule 506 of Regulation D, and in reliance on similar
exemptions under applicable state laws. No form of general solicitation or
general advertising was conducted in connection with the issuance. The Warrants
and shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants contain (or will contain,
where applicable) restrictive legends preventing the sale, transfer, or other
disposition of such securities, unless registered under the Securities Act, or
pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The disclosure contained in this Current
Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy any securities of the Company, and is made only as required under
applicable rules for filing current reports with the SEC.
Pursuant to a placement agency agreement dated October 18, 2021 between the
Company and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and Northland Securities, Inc. (the
"Placement Agents"), the Company engaged the Placement Agents to act as the
Company's placement agents in connection with the Offering and agreed to pay the
Placement Agents' a cash fee of 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in
the Offering.
Greenberg Traurig, LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued an opinion to the
Company regarding the validity of the Shares to be issued in the Offering. A
copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants, which are filed as
Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated herein by reference.
