Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 14, 2005, Tripath Technology Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the holders of the Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants previously issued by the Company (the “Series A Warrants”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company raised approximately $2.5 million from the exercise of the Series A Warrants that were issued in connection with the Company’s November 2005 financing. The Series A Warrants are exercisable until July 1, 2006 and permit the holders to purchase up to 6,756,757 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share. In partial consideration for the exercise of the Series A Warrants, the Company issued new Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “New Warrants”) to the investors on February 14, 2006. The New Warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007 and permit the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 6,081,080 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.315 per share. The New Warrants permit cashless exercise and contain a call provision, pursuant to which the New Warrants can be called by the Company on 20-days notice if the common stock price per share of the Company closes for 10 consecutive trading days at or above 150% of the New Warrant exercise price. The Agreement also contains a provision that, for as long as the investors hold the New Warrants, the Company shall not engage in future equity financings in which common stock or securities exercisable or convertible to common stock is issued at an effective price that is less than $0.315 without the consent of the investors.

 

The financing was completed through a private placement to accredited investors and is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable to the investors upon the exercise of the New Warrants.

 

The proceeds of the financing are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.
