Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 29, 2023, Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC, as representative of the underwriters (“Spartan”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the underwriters in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $4.00 per share. The Company has also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 240,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering is expected to close on August 31, 2023.
 
The shares of Common Stock were offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-271198), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which was declared effective by the Commission on August 29, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”).
 
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, the underwriters’ fees and expenses and the Company’s estimated Offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $5,363,000. The Company anticipates using the net proceeds from the Offering to provide funding for veterinary hospital acquisitions, real estate acquisitions, hiring of additional personnel, capital improvements and general corporate purposes.
 
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other party in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, a copy of the Underwriting Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
