Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 17, 2025, Aeluma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, as the representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale by the Company of 1,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in its previously announced public offering (the “Offering”). The public offering price in the Offering was $13.00 per share of Common Stock. In connection with the Offering, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 255,000 additional shares of its Common Stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, and on September 18, 2025, the Underwriters exercised such option to purchase an additional 255,000 shares of Common Stock. The Offering closed on September 19, 2025.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $23.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and after payment of estimated offering expenses of approximately $200,000.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, for expansion of business development efforts including (i) advancing manufacturing processes for production; (ii) hiring new employees; and (iii) working capital and general business purposes.

 

The Company is making the Offering pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-289135) previously filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus filed with the SEC on September 18, 2025.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

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 (the “Current Report”) and is incorporated by reference herein.
