Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 23, 2025, ASP Isotopes Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 7,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The offering price in the Offering is $8.00 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $7.52 per share.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $56.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
The Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated July 23, 2025 and an accompanying base prospectus that form a part of the registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which became effective on May 30, 2025 (File No. 333-286860) and a related registration statement that was filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 (and became automatically effective upon filing). The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about July 25, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of 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. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
A copy of the legal opinion of Blank Rome LLP relating to the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
