Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 10, 2023, Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $70,000,000 (the “Shares”), from time to time through the Sales Agent (the “Offering”). Also, on February 10, 2023, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Offering (the “Prospectus Supplement”) under its existing shelf registration statement, which became effective on November 10, 2022 (File No. 333-268200) (the “Registration Statement”), and the base prospectus contained therein. A copy of the Prospectus Supplement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Upon delivery of a placement notice, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell the Shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company may sell the Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, but it has no obligation to sell any of the Shares in the Offering.

 

The Company or the Sales Agent may suspend or terminate the Offering upon notice to the other party and subject to other conditions. The Sales Agent will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

 

The Company has agreed to pay the Sales Agent commissions for its services in acting as sales agent in the sale of the Shares in the amount of up to 3.0 % of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Company has also agreed to provide the Sales Agent with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

 

A copy of the Distribution Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Distribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

 

Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued a legal opinion relating to the Shares. A copy of such legal opinion, including the consent included therein, is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

 

The Shares are registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and the base prospectus contained therein, and offerings for the Shares will be made only by means of the Prospectus Supplement. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of such state or jurisdiction.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.
