On March 29, 2019, NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Triton Funds LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell up to $3,000,000 of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at a purchase price equal to 90% of the lowest trading price of the common stock of the Company for the five business days prior to the applicable closing date. The Purchase Agreement shall terminate automatically on December 31, 2019, unless earlier terminated. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties.
The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on March 29, 2019 with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company shall register the Shares for resale by the Investor, on a registration statement, which shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission not later than April 5, 2019. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties.
Additionally, on March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Triton Funds LLC (the “Recipient”), an affiliate of the Investor, pursuant to which the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock (the “Additional Shares”) to the Recipient. The Additional Shares are also entitled to registration rights.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Company’s offering of the Shares to the Investor and issuance of the Additional Shares to the Recipient were made without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based on the offering or issuance of such securities to two investors, the lack of any general solicitation or advertising in connection with such offering and issuance, and the representation of such investors to the Company that they were accredited investors (as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Act).
