Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On October 5, 2017, U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (the “Underwriter”), relating to the issuance and sale of 1,388,889 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The price to the public in this offering is $1.80 per share. The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $1.674 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $1.96 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The offering is expected to close on or about October 10, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 208,333 additional shares of Common Stock.

 

The offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-217860) (the “Registration Statement”) 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.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, each of the Company’s directors and executive officers have entered into “lock-up” agreements with the Underwriter that generally prohibit, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, the sale, transfer or other disposition of securities of the Company for a period ending 90 days following October 5, 2017. The Company also agreed to pay the Underwriter’s expenses relating to the Offering, including, without limitation, any fees and expenses of the Underwriter’s counsel, up to a maximum of $85,000 (not including any fees, expenses and disbursements related to necessary “blue sky” filings).

 

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 Exhibits 1.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Ference Kesner LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of Common Stock in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this report and is incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by reference.

 

On October 4, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the proposed offering, and on October 5, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the offering. Copies of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Company cautions you that statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negatives of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs and expectations. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, references to the completion of the offering and the expected net proceeds therefrom. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, the risk and uncertainties associated with market conditions and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions relating to the offering, as well as risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including those risks described in the Company’s periodic reports it files with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update this report to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
