Filing Explained

The financing was agreed but not yet completed; its potential share issuance would reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership.

As a Form 8-K, this filing reports a material agreement: on August 16, 2026, Wrap Technologies agreed to sell 5,771,519 shares and pre-funded warrants for up to 2,800,090 shares; closing was expected on August 18, 2026, subject to conditions.

The agreed structure would add common shares, either directly or when warrants are exercised, reducing existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes. The warrants have a nominal $0.0001 exercise price and ownership limits of 4.99% or, if elected, 9.99%.

This is a negotiated registered direct offering using an effective Form S-3 shelf, rather than a new shelf filing that only creates future capacity.

The latest quarterly report showed $4.781 million of cash and equivalents at June 30, 2026, equal to 176.9 days of the last reported operating cash use.

The August 18, 2026 closing is the next state checkpoint; this filing does not establish that the proceeds were received, the shares were issued, or the warrants were exercised.

registered direct offering financial
"entered into a securities purchase agreement ... in a registered direct offering"
A registered direct offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly to select investors with regulatory approval. This method allows the company to raise funds quickly and efficiently without needing a public auction, similar to offering exclusive access to a limited number of buyers. For investors, it often provides an opportunity to purchase shares at a favorable price, while giving the company immediate access to capital.
Pre-Funded Warrants financial
"and Pre-Funded Warrants ... to purchase up to 2,800,090 shares"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
Beneficial Ownership Limitation financial
"to exceed 4.99% (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99%)"
A beneficial ownership limitation is a rule that caps the percentage of a company’s shares an investor can be treated as owning or controlling for voting, regulatory or tax purposes. It matters to investors because it can restrict how many shares a person or group can buy or vote, affect takeover chances, and influence share liquidity and value — like a speed limit that prevents any single driver from taking over the whole road.
shelf registration statement on Form S-3 regulatory
"pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3"
A shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is a pre-approved filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that lets an eligible public company register securities in advance and sell them later in one or more offerings without repeating the full registration process. Think of it like a pre-approved funding line: it gives management the flexibility to raise capital quickly when market conditions are right, a move that can affect share supply, dilution and investor returns, so investors monitor it as a signal of potential financing activity.
placement agent financial
"Maxim Group LLC ... agreed to serve as the placement agent"
A placement agent is a professional or firm that helps organizations raise money from investors, such as individuals, institutions, or funds. They act like matchmakers, connecting those seeking investments with the right investors and guiding the process to ensure successful funding. For investors, they can provide access to exclusive opportunities and help navigate complex fundraising efforts.

On August 16, 2026, Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor and an existing investor (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) 5,771,519 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,800,090 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $1.40 per share or $1.3999 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $12.0 million before deducting offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an initial exercise price per share of $0.0001, subject to certain adjustments. The Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised at any time until exercised in full, except that a holder (together with its affiliates) will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant, which, upon giving effect to such exercise would cause the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to or after giving effect to the exercise, subject to such holder’s rights under the Pre-Funded Warrants to increase or decrease such percentage to another percentage not in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from such holder to the Company.

 

The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291707) which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 21, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on December 18, 2025, and related base prospectus and a prospectus supplement dated August 16, 2026, thereunder.

 

The Offering is expected to close on August 18, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company currently plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including for any future planned business expansion.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Investors.

Additionally, the Company has agreed to provide the Investors with customary indemnification under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), dated as of August 16, 2026, with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the placement agent for the Company in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received in the Offering. However, a reduced cash fee of 3.5% will be payable on the aggregate gross proceeds received for the securities sold to certain investors. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for out-of-pocket expenses, including legal expenses, incurred by it in connection with the Offering of $75,000.

 

The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, 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 Placement Agency 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 such parties.
