Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 6, 2025, Humacyte, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company
agreed to issue and sell to certain investors in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) (i) 28,436,018 shares
(the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) warrants
to purchase up to 28,436,018 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The offering price per Share and accompanying Warrant
is $2.11. The Offering is expected to close on October 8, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Shares and Warrants will be issued separately.
The exercise price of each Warrant will be $2.11. Each Warrant will become exercisable 180 days following the date of issuance and will
expire on April 7, 2031. A holder of the Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants if the holder,
together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder,
with the Company’s consent, up to 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to
such exercise.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination
provisions. In the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed not to (i) issue or enter into an agreement to issue any shares of
Common Stock and/or Common Stock equivalents or (ii) effect or enter into an agreement to effect a variable rate transaction, in
each case for a period of 30 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s
effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290231), which was previously filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2025 and declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22,
2025.
On October 6, 2025, the Company also entered
into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with D. Boral Capital LLC, as the placement agent (the “Placement
Agent”), in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agreement, the Placement Agent agreed to use reasonable
best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Shares and the Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agreement, the Company will
pay the Placement Agent a fee equal to 5.75% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares and the Warrants.
The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent at the closing of the Offering, for expenses incurred, including disbursements
of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $100,000. Additionally, the Placement Agent will be entitled to 6.0%
of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of any equity, debt and/or equity derivative instruments to any Qualified
Investors, as defined in the Placement Agreement, in connection with any public or private financing or capital raise (each a “Tail
Financing”) and such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the six-month period (or 12-month period, in the case of
certain Qualified Investors) following the expiration or termination of the Placement Agreement, provided that such Tail Financing is
by a party actually introduced to the Company in any offering in which the Company has direct knowledge of such party’s participation.
The Placement Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing,
indemnification obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations
of the parties, and termination provisions.
The Purchase Agreement and Placement Agreement
contain customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that the parties made to, and solely for the
benefit of, each other in the context of all of the terms and conditions of such agreements and in the context of the specific relationship
between the parties thereto. The provisions of the Purchase Agreement and Placement Agreement, including any representations and warranties
contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties thereto (except with respect to certain representations
and warranties in the Purchase Agreement that are for the benefit of the Placement Agent) and are not intended as documents for investors
and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties thereto. Rather, investors and the public
should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s annual, quarterly and current reports the Company may file with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The foregoing is a summary description of certain
terms of the Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agreement and, by its nature, is incomplete. Copies of the form of Warrant,
the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2,
respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the form of Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and
the Placement Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits. A copy of the opinion of Covington &
Burling LLP relating to the validity of the Shares and the Warrants sold in the Offering and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
The information contained in this Current Report
on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the shares of Common Stock or the Warrants
discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the shares of Common Stock or the Warrants in any jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction.
