On July 1, 2025, GeoVax Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) and a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a public offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 9,235,000 common units (the “Common Units”), consisting of (A) 9,235,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (B) common warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase 18,470,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrant Shares”). The public offering price for each Common Unit was $0.65. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $0.65 per share, are immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

 

The net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and expenses and other offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding the net proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Common Warrants, is approximately $5,582,557.50. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Offering closed on July 2, 2025.

 

In the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or file any registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto for 60 days after the closing date of the Offering. In addition, the Company has agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock involving a variable rate transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for six months after the closing date of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions.

 

Each of the Placement Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the purchasers, including for liabilities arising 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 Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Common Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Common Warrants.

 

The Company paid the Placement Agent as compensation a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering plus reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees.

 

The Common Units, Common Warrants and Common Warrant Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 originally filed on June 16, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act (File No. 333-288085), amended on June 26, 2025 and declared effective on June 30, 2025.
