Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. On January 27, 2026, Richtech Robotics Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investor, and the investor agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), 8,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $4.55 per Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $38,675,000, prior to deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Private Placement closed on January 29, 2026. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, for a period commencing upon the signing of the Purchase Agreement, until 45 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below), neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Stock or common stock equivalents, or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto. The restrictions are subject to certain exceptions as described in the Purchase Agreement. Further, for a period of 15 months following the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below), the Company is also prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction, as defined in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on January 27, 2026, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investor. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be required to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register the Shares for resale. The Company agreed to file the Registration Statement by February 16, 2026, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective within 45 days after January 27, 2026, or 75 days after January 27, 2026, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC. The Company will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to the investors if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement when required or fails to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required. The Shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were approximately $36.2 million, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital, general corporate purposes, including the further development of our product candidates, and the procurement of inventory, specifically for robotic hardware. Rodman & Renshaw LLC (“Rodman”) acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. Pursuant to an engagement letter by and between the Company and Rodman, the Company paid Rodman an aggregate cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement and agreed to reimburse the Rodman for all reasonable out-of-pocket and non-accountable expenses of up to $100,000 in aggregate.
