Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 4, 2008, Natus Medical Incorporated (“Natus”) entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Underwriter”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of 770,000 shares of Natus common stock at a public offering price of $18.27 per share, which was the closing price of Natus stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on April 3, 2008, (the “Offering”). Natus will pay to the Underwriter an underwriting discount of 5%, or $0.9135 per share, on shares sold in the Offering, except for approximately 175,000 shares expected to be sold to the D3 Family Fund, L.P., D3 Family Bulldog Fund, L.P., D3 Family Canadian Fund, L.P. and DIII Offshore Fund, L.P., or affiliated individuals and investment funds (the “D3 Family Funds”), for which there will be no discount. Natus also granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to 115,500 additional shares to cover over-allotments, if any. These shares are being offered and sold under a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with an offering pursuant to Natus’ shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-133480) (the “Registration Statement”).
The above description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the Purchase Agreement, which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 1.01 and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.
In connection with the Offering, Natus also will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with the D3 Family Funds. Under this agreement, at any time after October 9, 2008, the D3 Family Funds can request that Natus file a registration statement covering registrable securities held by them for a minimum of 500,000 to a maximum of 2 million shares of Natus common stock. In addition, once six months has elapsed from their initial demand registration request, the D3 Family Funds can request that Natus file a second registration statement covering registrable securities held by them for again a minimum of 500,000 to a maximum of 2 million shares. Once in a 12-month period, Natus may postpone the filing of a registration statement for up to 60 days if Natus determines that the filing would be detrimental to it and its stockholders. Natus will pay all expenses incurred in connection with each of the registrations described above, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and the fees of legal counsel for the D3 Family Funds in excess of $10,000, to the extent the registrations do not take the form of an underwritten offering. However, if any distribution of common stock under a demand registration is to be effected by means of an underwritten offering, then the D3 Family Funds will pay all expenses incurred in connection with such registration other than the fees of counsel to Natus. The registration rights will terminate to the extent the shares held by and issuable to the D3 Family Funds may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in any three-month period.
A copy of the press release announcing the Offering is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
In connection with the Offering, Natus is filing a legal opinion and consent as Exhibit No. 5.01 and Exhibit No. 23.01 to this Report, which are incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.
