EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Orbsat Corp (the “Company”) on January 11, 2022 (the “Original Report”) is being filed to address the inadvertent omission of a description regarding Mr. Barreto’s participation as a purchaser in the Company’s sale in a private placement of 2,229,950 shares of common stock that closed on January 5, 2022. Except for the foregoing, this amendment does not amend, modify or update the disclosures contained in the Original Report.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 7, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Orbsat Corp (the “Company”) appointed Rodney Barreto as a new director to the Board, effective January 20, 2022. No decision has been made with respect to the naming of Mr. Barreto to any regular committees of the Board.
In connection with Mr. Barreto’s appointment to the Board, the Company executed a Director Services Agreement (the “Director Agreement”) with Mr. Barreto on January 11, 2022. The Director Agreement has a two year term (subject to the director’s nomination and election) and provides for a cash retainer of $48,000 per year, plus an equity award of 20,000 shares of restricted stock, half of which will be issued and vest on the day of grant, with the remaining half vesting and being issued on the first anniversary of the grant date. The Director Agreement also contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions and require the Company to maintain a specified amount of director and officer insurance. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Barreto and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Barreto was selected as a director.
As previously reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K, on January 5, 2022, the Company closed on the sale in a private placement of 2,229,950 shares of the Company’s common stock and received gross proceeds of approximately $7.2 million from such sale (the “Offering”). The purchase price for the Company’s common stock sold in the Offering was $3.24 per share, the closing transaction price reported by Nasdaq on December 31, 2021. Mr. Barreto purchased 370,371 shares of Company’s common stock in the Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $1,200,002.04. Other than with regard to Mr. Barreto’s participation in the Offering, Mr. Barreto is not a party to any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, but may be party to such a transaction in the future.
The foregoing description of the Director Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the actual text of the Director Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
A press release, dated January 11, 2022, announcing the appointment of Mr. Barreto as a director of the Company is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
