Spectral AI, Inc. — Form 8-K Summary

Reporting date: December 26, 2023; filed December 27, 2023. The filing reports entry into equity financing agreements with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC. It does not provide quarterly or annual operating results.

Material Financing Agreement

  • Spectral AI may, at its sole discretion, sell up to $10.0 million of newly issued common stock to B. Riley over a period of up to 24 months after the financing’s commencement date.
  • The company is not obligated to sell any shares. Sales depend on market conditions, the trading price, and management’s funding decisions.
  • Purchase prices are generally based on Nasdaq VWAP, less a fixed 3.5% discount, subject to transaction-specific thresholds and limitations.
  • Nasdaq’s exchange cap limits issuances to 3,249,360 shares, or 19.99% of shares outstanding before the agreement, unless stockholder approval is obtained or the applicable average purchase price is at least $2.55 per share.
  • B. Riley’s beneficial ownership is capped at 4.99% of outstanding common stock.
  • The company issued B. Riley 40,000 commitment shares, valued at $2.50 per share, representing 1.00% of the total purchase commitment.
  • The company agreed to pay a $75,000 cash commitment fee upon settlement of the first purchase, or within three trading days after termination if no purchase occurs or commencement does not occur.
  • Under specified circumstances, the company may owe up to $100,000 as a make-whole payment related to resale proceeds from the commitment shares.
  • The company agreed to reimburse specified legal expenses of up to $75,000 initially and $5,000 per fiscal quarter, plus certain potential qualified independent underwriter expenses of up to $55,000.

Liquidity, Capitalization, and Use of Proceeds

If the company elects to sell shares, net proceeds are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The filing does not state that any shares had been sold or that any proceeds had been received as of the report date. The facility is a potential source of liquidity, but it may dilute existing stockholders and does not guarantee funding.

Material Changes and Unusual Items

  • The Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement were entered into on December 26, 2023.
  • The company agreed to register the resale of shares issued to B. Riley, subject to the registration statement becoming effective and other conditions before purchases can begin.
  • B. Riley agreed not to engage in short sales or hedging transactions that establish a net short position in Spectral AI common stock during the agreement term.
  • The agreements contain restrictions on certain dilutive equity transactions and substantially similar continuous equity facilities during specified periods, but generally do not impose rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties, or liquidated damages.
  • The agreements were entered into as private transactions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The filing states that the securities were not registered and may not be resold absent registration or an applicable exemption.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

  • The facility terminates upon the earliest of specified events, including the 24-month term, completion of $10.0 million in purchases, loss of an eligible exchange listing, or specified bankruptcy events.
  • Spectral AI may terminate the Purchase Agreement after commencement with 10 trading days’ notice and no termination fee.
  • Actual funding may be substantially less than $10.0 million or zero because purchases are optional and subject to price, volume, registration, settlement, exchange, and other conditions.
  • Issuance of common stock could dilute existing holders and may place downward pressure on the market price.
  • The filing provides no revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, cash balance, or other operating-financial metrics for the reporting period, and no formal company guidance.

Investor Verification Items

  • Verify whether and when the resale registration statement became effective and the financing reached its commencement date.
  • Verify the number of shares actually sold, gross and net proceeds received, and remaining availability under the $10.0 million commitment.
  • Monitor compliance with the 3,249,360-share exchange cap and B. Riley’s 4.99% ownership cap.
  • Assess the effect of the 40,000 commitment shares, future issuances, discounts, fees, and potential make-whole payment on dilution and liquidity.
  • Review Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 for the omitted pricing thresholds, purchase limitations, registration obligations, and termination provisions.
