Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported, on September 18, 2023 Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Original EDA”), with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim Group”) as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, an aggregate of up to $3,250,000 of its shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in an “at the market” offering (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)). As of November 9, 2023, the Company has sold 11,065,416 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate offering price of approximately $3.25 million.

 

On November 9, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original EDA (the “Amended EDA” and together with the Original EDA, the “EDA”) with Maxim Group pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell up to $10,000,000 of its shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) from time to time through the Sales Agent; provided, however, that in no event will the Company issue or sell through the Sales Agent such number of shares of Common Stock that would cause the Company or the offering of its shares of Common Stock to not satisfy the eligibility and transaction requirements for use of Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3). Pursuant to the Amended EDA, the Company has agreed to reimburse Maxim Group’s legal fees and expenses up to $65,000. As of November 9, 2023, the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates was $18,023,756, which was calculated based on 21,204,419 outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates on November 9, 2023 and a price per share of $0.85, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on September 15, 2023 and is the highest closing sale price of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market within the prior 60 days. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will the Company sell the shelf securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of the Company’s voting and non-voting ordinary shares held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period as long as the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $75 million. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has offered and sold 11,065,416 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate offering price of approximately $3.25 million pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3.

 

The offering pursuant to the EDA will terminate upon the sale of all Shares subject to the EDA. The EDA may also be terminated by the Company or by the Sales Agent at any time.

 

The Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-274554) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2023, including the at the market offering prospectus contained therein, as amended and supplemented by the prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on November 9, 2023.

  

The foregoing description of the EDA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Original EDA, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated September 22, 2023, and the Amended EDA, which is filed as Exhibit 1.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference. The legal opinion of Foley Shechter Ablovatskiy LLP, counsel to the Company, relating to the validity of the additional shares of Common Stock being offered pursuant to the EDA is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274554)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Heart Test Laboratories, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance and sale by the Company, from time to time, of up to $10,000,000 of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company pursuant to that certain Equity Distribution Agreement, dated September 18, 2023 (the “Original EDA”), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Equity Distribution Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2023 (the “EDA Amendment” and together with the Original EDA, the “Agreement”), entered into by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC, as sales agent pursuant to an “at the market” offering prospectus, dated September 28, 2023 (the “Prospectus”) as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated November 9, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) that form a part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274554) (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), on September 18, 2023, and declared effective by the Commission on September 28, 2023.

 

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company’s certificate of formation and bylaws, both as currently in effect, certain resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares and such other documents, records and other instruments as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of the opinion set forth herein. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon representations of officers or directors of the Company and documents furnished to us by the Company without independent verification of their accuracy.

 

In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and assuming the receipt of the appropriate consideration for the Shares, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and when the Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Our opinions set forth herein are limited to the laws of the State of Texas (the “Covered Law”). We do not express any opinion with respect to the law of any jurisdiction other than Covered Law or as to the effect of any such non-Covered Law on the opinions herein. 

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-Kfiled by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated and is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

 

Very truly yours,
