Jeffs’ Brands Issues a $2.85 Million Non-Recourse Convertible Promissory Note to Leverage Fort Products’ U.K. Success and Expansion to the U.S.
22 Januar 2025 - 12:25PM
Jeffs' Brands Ltd (“Jeffs’ Brands” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: JFBR,
JFBRW), a data-driven e-commerce company operating on the Amazon
Marketplace, today announced that it has issued a non- recourse
convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,850,000
(the “Note”) to an institutional investor (the “Holder”). The
Company intends to use the net proceeds of $2,565,000 received from
the issuance of the Note and any additional net proceeds from the
exercise of the Warrant (as defined below), to the extent exercised
in cash, for working capital and general corporate purposes, as
well as for potential acquisitions, aiming to leverage Fort
Products Ltd.’s success in the U.K. market and expand its
operations to the U.S. market, which, together with the rest of
North America, is anticipated to register the fastest growth in the
pesticides market globally, during the forecast period of 2024 to
2034, according to a report published by Precedence Research1.
The Note, issued with a 10% original issue discount, is to be
repaid in one payment on the 18th month anniversary of its issuance
date, unless repaid earlier (partially or in full) at the option of
the Company, or if extended at the option of the Holder. The
principal amount under the Note bears an annual interest rate of 8%
(which will increase to 18% upon an event of default as defined in
the Note). The outstanding amount due under the Note is convertible
(partially or in full) into ordinary shares, no par value per share
(“ordinary shares”), of Jeffs’ Brands, at the option of the Holder
at any time after the issuance date, at a conversion price equal to
the lower of (i) $2.80984, which represents 110% of the volume
weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the ordinary shares on January
15, 2025, the trading day immediately prior to the issuance date,
as reported by Bloomberg LP, or (ii) 95% of the lowest daily VWAP
during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the
applicable date of conversion.
In connection with the issuance of the Note, Jeffs’ Brands
issued to the Holder a warrant to purchase up to 760,720 ordinary
shares (the “Warrant”), representing a warrant coverage of 75% of
the initial maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon
conversion of the Note, calculated based on a conversion price of
$2.80984 per ordinary share. The Warrant was exercisable upon
issuance and will expire 5.5 years from the issuance date, or July
16, 2030. The number of ordinary shares underlying the Note and the
Warrant is subject to certain adjustments, as described in the Note
and Warrant.
The securities described above were issued and sold in a private
placement exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and have not been
registered under the Act, or applicable state securities laws.
Accordingly, the securities may not be offered or sold in the
United States except pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act and such applicable state securities law.
The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register the
resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Note
and exercise of the Warrant.
Mr. Vik Hacmon, the Company’s chief executive officer and a
director on the Company’s board of directors, may be deemed to have
a personal interest in the transaction by virtue of him being a
relative of the Holder, as such the transaction was approved by the
Company’s audit committee and board of directors in accordance with
the Israeli Companies Law-1999.

Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Act, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to
be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can
generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as
“believe,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,”
“plan,” “goal,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or other comparable terms.
For example, the Company is using forward-looking statements when
discussing the anticipated use of the net proceeds received from
the issuance of the Note and to be received upon exercise of the
Warrant, to the extent exercised in cash, and the Company’s plan to
leverage Fort Products Ltd.’s success in the U.K. market and expand
its operations to the U.S. market. Instead, this is based only on
the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions
regarding the future of the Company’s business, future plans and
strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy
and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements
relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties,
risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict
and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. The
Company’s actual results and financial condition may differ
materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual
results and financial condition to differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others,
the following: the Company’s ability to adapt to significant future
alterations in Amazon’s policies; the Company’s ability to sell the
Company’s existing products and grow the Company’s brands and
product offerings, including by acquiring new brands; the Company’s
ability to meet the Company’s expectations regarding the revenue
growth and the demand for e-commerce; the overall global economic
environment; the impact of competition and new e-commerce
technologies; general market, political and economic conditions in
the countries in which we operate; projected capital expenditures
and liquidity; the impact of possible changes in Amazon’s policies
and terms of use; the impact of the conditions in Israel, including
the recent attacks by Hamas, Iran, and other terrorist
organizations; and the other risks and uncertainties described in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC, on April 1, 2024 and the
Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise.
