Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement

As previously disclosed, on May 15, 2023, Venus Concept Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with EW Healthcare Partners, L.P. and EW Healthcare Partners-A, L.P. (collectively, the “Investors”). Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue and sell to the Investors up to $9,000,000 in shares of newly-created senior convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Senior Preferred Stock”), in multiple tranches from time to time until December 31, 2025, subject to a minimum aggregate purchase amount of $500,000 in each tranche (the “Private Placement”). Sales of Senior Preferred Stock in the Private Placement are purely discretionary and must be approved by both the Company and the Investors. The initial sale in the Private Placement occurred on May 15, 2023, under which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 280,899 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000.

On July 6, 2023, the Company and the Investors entered into an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment (a) clarifies the appropriate date pursuant to which the purchase price for each share of Senior Preferred Stock to be sold in the Private Placement is determined (such that the purchase price shall be equal to the “Minimum Price” as set forth in Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rule 5635(d)) and (b) permits the Company to specify a desired closing date (subject to approval by the Investors) for each sale in the Private Placement.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Second Placement of Senior Preferred Stock

On July 12, 2023, the Company and the Investors consummated the second sale in the Private Placement, under which the Company sold the Investors an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Second Placement”). The Second Placement was consummated in reliance on the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Registration D, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Second Placement, after the payment of transaction expenses, for general working capital purposes.

For additional information regarding the Private Placement, including the terms of the Senior Preferred Stock, please see the Current Reports on Form 8-K, including the exhibits thereto, filed by the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 15, 2023 and June 26, 2023.
