Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 26, 2025, The Marygold Companies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (“Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, as sole underwriter and book-running manager, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares (“Firm Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $1.10 per share (“Offering”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 307,500 shares of its Common Stock (“Option Shares,” and together with the Firm Shares, “Shares”) at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, conditions to closing, market standoff provisions, termination provisions and indemnification obligations, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The Offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283898) that was initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 18, 2024, and declared effective by the SEC on December 27, 2024, and a related prospectus supplement. A prospectus supplement relating to the Offering will be filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

 

The Company estimates that the net proceeds of this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $1,850,000 (or approximately $2,160,000 if the underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares in full). The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to retire or reduce debt, make further capital contributions to its Marygold & Co. subsidiaries, and for other general working capital and corporate purposes. The Company expects the Offering to close on or about January 28, 2025, for the Firm Shares, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties thereto. Accordingly, the Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its businesses, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

 

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

A copy of the opinion of Somertons, PLLC, relating to the legality of the issuance of the Shares in connection with the Offering, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On January 24, 2025, and January 26, 2025, the Company issued press releases announcing the launch and the pricing of the Offering, respectively. Copies of the press releases are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Assuming net proceeds of $1,850,000 from the Offering and excluding any additional proceeds from the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, the Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to retire or reduce debt, make further capital contributions to its Marygold & Co. subsidiaries, and for other general working capital and corporate purposes. The Company will require additional capital to retire or further reduce debt and for other general working capital and corporate purposes.
