Registered Direct Offering
On April 27, 2026, Solana Company (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (collectively, the “RDO Purchase Agreements”) with the purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which (i) the Company issued and sold to the Purchasers, in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”), 3,076,922 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The offering price of each Share was $2.60 per share (the “Offering Price”). The net proceeds to the Company from the Registered Direct Offering are expected to be approximately $7.9 million.
The Company currently plans to use the net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering for accumulating SOL, working capital and general corporate purposes, business expansion and other strategic initiatives.
The RDO Purchase Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the RDO Purchase Agreements were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of the specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The Registered Direct Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-290429), as amended, that became effective on April 8, 2026, and a related base prospectus and prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) thereunder.
The foregoing description of the RDO Purchase Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of RDO Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Put Option Agreement
In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into put option agreements (collectively, the “Put Option Agreements”) with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company granted each Purchaser the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock it purchased in the Registered Direct Offering at a price per share equal to the Offering Price plus an amount that would result in an internal rate of return of 7.0% per annum (collectively, the “Put Options”). The Put Options may be exercised in connection with the occurrence of certain qualifying events, including the 12-month and 18-month anniversaries of the closing of the Registered Direct Offering, a failure of the Company’s net debt to total capitalization ratio to remain at or below 30%, or a suspension or halt of trading in the Common Stock on the applicable trading market exceeding a specified number of consecutive trading days or the issuance of a delisting notice.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Put Options does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Put Option Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, and incorporated by reference herein.
