Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 5, 2024, Estrella Immunopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 20, 2023, as previously amended on April 26, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”). pursuant to which the Company may sell and issue up to $50 million of its common stock to White Lion from time to time, subject to certain terms and conditions.

 

The Amendment extends the term of the Purchase Agreement from December 30, 2024 to December 30, 2025. Additionally, the Amendment adds a new “Rapid Purchase” mechanism allowing for expedited settlement of share purchases compared to the standard purchase process under the original agreement. Under this new mechanism, the Company may deliver Rapid Purchase Notices to White Lion by 11:00 a.m. New York time on any business day when the Company’s common stock is not trading on an over-the-counter market, with concurrent delivery of the subject shares via DWAC to White Lion’s brokerage account. The purchase price for Rapid Purchases will be the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock on the Rapid Purchase Notice date, with White Lion required to wire payment by 5:00 p.m. New York time on the following business day.

 

For Rapid Purchases, the maximum number of shares the Company can require White Lion to purchase is limited to the lesser of (i) 20% of the average daily trading volume or (ii) the investment limit divided by the highest closing price over the previous five business days, though White Lion may waive these limitations. Each Rapid Purchase remains subject to the $1,000,000 maximum purchase amount applicable to regular purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
