SCOTTSDALE, Ariz, Jan. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Signing Day Sports, Inc. (“Signing Day Sports” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: SGN), the developer of the Signing Day Sports app and platform to aid high school athletes in the recruitment process, today announced that it has entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (“Tumim”).
Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company will have the right, under a committed equity financing facility, to sell to Tumim the Company’s common stock from time to time over the approximately 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement relating to resale of the shares (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as required under the Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and Tumim (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
Sales of common stock, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the option of the Company and the Company is under no obligation to sell securities under this arrangement. The price, amount, and maximum number of shares sold per sale will be determined by the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
“We decided to enter into this agreement with Tumim as we believe they have a strong fundamental understanding of our business, and are an ideal strategic investor to support any financial needs that may arise,” said Daniel Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Signing Day Sports. “We have no immediate plans to raise capital following our successful IPO, which resulted in gross proceeds of $6 million and net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million. However, we believe this transaction provides additional flexibility and capability to take advantage of strategic opportunities and future growth initiatives if and when they may arise.”
The Company expects to use net proceeds from any sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to support its future growth.
The issuance of the shares under the Purchase Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities referred to in this press release in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offering of the Company’s common stock under the Resale Registration Statement referred to in this press release will be made only by means of a prospectus.
Additional information regarding the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are available in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the SEC and made available at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website.
