Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On May 10, 2023, FaZe Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (the “Investor”), entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”).

 

The Company will have the right to issue and sell to the Investor, from time to time, as provided in the SEPA, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, up to $25 million in aggregate gross purchase price (the “Commitment Amount”) of the newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) (each such sale, an “Advance”) by delivering written notice to the Investor (each, an “Advance Notice” and the date on which the Company is deemed to have delivered an Advance Notice, the “Advance Notice Date”). The Common Stock purchased pursuant to an Advance will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the Advance Notice Date. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

 

The issuance of the Common Stock under the SEPA will be subject to certain limitations, including that (i) the Investor may not purchase any Common Stock that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s Common Stock or (ii) the aggregate number of Common Stock issued pursuant to the SEPA cannot exceed 19.9% of the Company’s Common Stock as of as of the date of the SEPA (referred to as the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap shall not be applicable if: (i) the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market or (ii) to the extent that (and only for so long as) the average price for the issuance of Common Stock equals or exceed the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the date of the SEPA; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the SEPA.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) or multiple Registration Statements registering for resale of the Common Stock issuable to the Investor under the SEPA. The Company in its sole discretion may choose when to file such Registration Statements; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the ability to request any Advances until the effectiveness of a Registration Statement.

 

As consideration for the Investor’s commitment to purchase Common Stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA, the Company will issue 487,995 shares of Common Stock to the Investor.

 

 The SEPA shall terminate automatically on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Common Stock pursuant to the SEPA for Common Stock equal to the Commitment Amount. The SEPA may be terminated at any time by the mutual written consent of the parties to the SEPA, effective as of the date of such mutual written consent unless otherwise provided in such written consent, or by the Company upon five trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor subject to the terms of the SEPA.

 

The foregoing description is only a summary of the SEPA and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SEPA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The communication includes “forward-looking statements” pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in the communication are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “budget,” “could,” “forecast,” “future,” “might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seem,” “seek,” “strive,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “will,” “continue,” “increase,” and/or similar expressions that concern strategy, plans or intentions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such statements are based on management’s belief or interpretation of information currently available. These forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of management and are not predictions of actual performance. Because forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions, whether or not identified in the communication, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many factors could cause actual results and conditions (financial or otherwise) to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and investments to meet our liquidity needs; litigation and regulatory proceedings relating to our business, including the ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights; our limited operating history and uncertain future prospects and rate of growth due to our limited operating history; our ability to continue to monetize our platform; our ability to grow market share in our existing markets or any new markets we may enter; our ability to maintain and grow the strength of our brand reputation; our ability to manage our growth effectively; our ability to retain existing and attract new Esports professionals, content creators and influencers; our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, directors and other key employees or independent contractors; our ability to maintain and strengthen our community of brand partners, engaged consumers, content creators, influencers and Esports professionals, and the success of our strategic relationships with these and other third parties; risks related to data security and privacy, including the risk of cyber-attacks or other security incidents; our ability to secure future financing, if needed, and our ability to repay any future indebtedness when due; the impact of the regulatory environment in our industry and complexities with compliance related to such environment, including our ability to comply with complex regulatory requirements; our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting; our ability to respond to general economic conditions, including market interest rates; and other risks identified in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our other filings with the SEC.

 

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. While FaZe may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, FaZe specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing FaZe’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
