On January 3, 2020, the Issuer entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, and LF, agreed to purchase, up to 500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock initially convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the “Offering”).  The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, except that it may not be converted into shares of Common Stock to the extent such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than the Maximum Percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock. On January 13, 2020, the Issuer conducted its first closing of the Offering, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000.

 

As provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer may issue up to an additional 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to third parties in its discretion at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and LF may subscribe and purchase additional shares in addition to the shares contemplated in the Purchase Agreement.

 

On February 6, 2020, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the Issuer’s outstanding voting securities approved by the written consent (i) the sale and issuance of up to 700,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including up to 500,000 shares to LF, which is controlled Mr. Li, the potential change of control as a result of the sale and issuance of 500,000 shares to LF, and up to an additional 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock the Issuer may issue in its discretion at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and to authorize the filing of an amendment to the Issuer’s Restated Articles of Incorporation in connection with such issuances; and (ii) to amend the Issuer’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to change its corporate name from CTI Industries Corporation to Yunhong CTI Ltd. Shareholder approval of the aforesaid actions took effect on or about March 3, 2020, and the name change was effected in the State of Illinois on March 12, 2020.

 

The Purchase Agreement contemplates a second closing for the purchase and sale of an additional 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Second Closing”), which is subject to certain closing conditions. On February 24, 2020, to permit an interim closing prior to the satisfaction of the relevant closing conditions to, and the consummation of, the Second Closing, the Issuer and LF entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, and LF agreed to purchase, 70,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000 (the “Interim Closing”). As an inducement to enter into the Purchase Agreement Amendment, the Issuer (i) granted to LF the right to appoint and elect a second member to the Issuer’s Board of Directors and (ii) agreed to issue to LF 140,000 shares of Common Stock. On February 28, 2020, the Issuer and LF closed on the Interim Closing.

On April 13, 2020, the Issuer and LF closed on the Additional Interim Closing. In connection with the Additional Interim Closing on April 13, 2020, LF waived the Maximum Percentage.

 

In connection with the foregoing, the Issuer relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.
