YANGZHOU, China, Dec. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Meihua International Medical Technologies Co., Ltd. (“MHUA” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MHUA), a reputable manufacturer and provider of Class I, II and III disposable medical devices with operating subsidiaries in China, announced today that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with institutional investors (the “Investors”) to issue and sell an initial $6 million tranche in the offering of up to $50.5 million of its securities.
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue 7% Original Issue Discount Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to the Investors, with $6 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes being issued in this initial tranche in a registered direct offering (the “Initial Notes”). The Notes, which do not bear interest unless they fall into default, are automatically and optionally redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Notes, will mature 364-days after issuance and will be convertible into the Company’s ordinary shares at an initial conversion price equal to $2.738 per share, subject to 4.99% beneficial ownership limitations and which interest rate and price are subject to adjustment as further specified in the Notes. The Notes will be repayable in cash upon maturity, if the Notes haven’t been fully converted prior to such time. The offering is subject to customary closing conditions. The Investors will also receive five-year ordinary share purchase warrants exercisable for a number of ordinary shares equal to 50% of the number obtained from dividing each Note’s principal amount by the VWAP of the ordinary shares on the date of such securities purchase agreement, at an initial exercise price equal to $2.9869 per share, subject to adjustment and 4.99% beneficial ownership limitations. The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Notes will be issued in a concurrent private placement.
Maxim Group LLC is acting as the sole placement agent for each of the offerings.
The Initial Notes and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Initial Notes are being sold pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-274194), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 24, 2023, amended on September 25, 2023 and September 29, 2023 and declared effective on September 29, 2023. Such securities are being offered only by means of a prospectus supplement to such registration statement.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an Investor holding an outstanding Note with a principal amount below $500,000, additional tranches of funding may occur, for up to an aggregate amount of up to $50,500,000. In conjunction with each additional closing, the Investor will be entitled to receive an additional warrant exercisable for ordinary shares equal to 50% of the number obtained from dividing the principal amount of the Note by the VWAP on the trading day immediately prior to such subsequent closing. In addition, the Note holders will have the right to participate in the Company’s subsequent financings and offerings, subject to certain limitations. The Company has also agreed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the Investors, to within 60 days of the initial closing, file a registration statement registering (i) the resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Notes, and (ii) the issuance of all subsequent issuances of Notes, accompanying warrants and ordinary shares underlying such Notes and warrants.
