As previously disclosed, Venus Concept Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated May 15, 2023, as amended on July 6, 2023 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), with EW Healthcare Partners, L.P. and EW Healthcare Partners-A, L.P. (collectively, the “Investors”). Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue and sell to the Investors up to $9,000,000 in shares of newly-created senior convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Senior Preferred Stock”), in multiple tranches from time to time until December 31, 2025, subject to a minimum aggregate purchase amount of $500,000 in each tranche (the “Private Placement”).

The initial sale in the Private Placement occurred on May 15, 2023, under which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 280,899 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. The second sale in the Private Placement occurred on July 12, 2023, under which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000.  The third sale in the Private Placement occurred on September 8, 2023, under which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 292,398 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.

On October 20, 2023, the Company and the Investors consummated the fourth sale in the Private Placement, under which the Company sold the Investors an aggregate of 502,513 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Fourth Placement”). The Fourth Placement was consummated in reliance on the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Registration D, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Fourth Placement, after the payment of transaction expenses, for general working capital purposes.
