Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 17, 2023, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchaser named therein (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, in a public offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 4,054,055 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00005 per share (the “Common Stock”), together with accompanying warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase 4,054,055 shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $1.85 per share and accompanying warrants for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.5 million, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering is expected to close on July 19, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Common Warrants will be immediately exercisable, expire five years following the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which Maxim agreed to serve as exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrants. The Company has agreed to pay Maxim an aggregate cash fee of up to 7.0% of the aggregate proceeds raised from the sale and issuance of the shares of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrants. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company also agreed to reimburse Maxim up to $65,000 for its legal expenses.

The 4,054,055 shares of Common Stock and Common Warrants were offered and sold pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-258640), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 9, 2021 and was declared effective by the Commission on August 19, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”).

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Common Warrants and the Placement Agency Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by references to the full text of the Form of Purchase Agreement, the Form of Common Warrant and the Placement Agency Agreement, which are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.
