Smith Micro Announces Note and Common Stock Investments

Smith Micro Software, Inc. (the “Company” or “Smith Micro”) (NASDAQ: SMSI) today announced investments in Company securities by institutional and accredited investors pursuant to two offerings, the expected gross proceeds of which are expected to be $18 million.

Convertible Notes

In a transaction with expected gross proceeds of $15 million, the Company has entered into and closed a private placement of senior secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $15 million and a conversion price of $3.35 per share, subject to adjustment, and warrants to acquire up to an aggregate amount of 2,238,805 additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $3.35 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The note conversion price and warrant exercise price of $3.35 per share represents a 20% premium to our 15-day moving average share price through yesterday’s close.

Common Stock

Concurrently with the senior secured convertible notes and warrant transaction, in a registered direct offering with expected gross proceeds of $3 million, the Company today entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors to sell an aggregate of 1,132,075 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,132,075 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.65 per share of Company common stock and associated warrant. Each warrant will be exercisable on the sixth month anniversary of the date of its issuance at an exercise price of $2.65 per share and will expire five (5) years from the date it first becomes exercisable. The offering is expected to close on or about August 12, 2022, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Use of Proceeds

The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offerings for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Company engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC, and Dawson James Securities, Inc. to serve as financial advisors to the Company in connection with the offerings.

The notes offering, along with associated warrants, were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Accordingly, the notes, warrants and underlying shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the notes and warrants may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and such applicable state securities laws. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note and exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the notes offering.

The issuance of the common stock and warrants in the registered direct offering are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264667), previously filed and declared effective on May 12, 2022 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and a prospectus supplement which will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov.
