Boxlight Corp Announces $7.5M Series D Preferred Sale and $15M Equity Line

What Happened

• On August 5, 2026, Boxlight Corporation (BOXL) entered a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell 937,500 shares of newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $7,500,000 (issued at $8.00 per share, $10.00 stated value, 20% original issue discount). The sale closes in two tranches: Tranche One of $5,500,000 (687,500 shares) at closing and Tranche Two of $2,000,000 (250,000 shares) upon effectiveness of a resale registration statement and certain stockholder approvals.
• Concurrently (August 5, 2026), Boxlight entered an Equity Purchase Agreement (an equity line) under which the company may sell up to $15,000,000 of Class A common stock to an investor over 36 months, with put mechanics tied to recent market prices (generally 95% of market).

Key Details

• Preferred terms: 937,500 shares designated; $10 stated/liquidation value per share; issued at $8.00 (20% OID); ranks senior to Class A and Class B common stock; non-voting except for adverse amendments.
• Conversion and caps: Preferred convertible into Class A common stock at a market-discount based conversion price subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limit and a 19.99% exchange cap absent stockholder approvals (special meetings required to approve issuance >19.99%).
• Equity line specifics: Up to $15M over 36 months; put purchases generally at 95% of market; investor limited to 4.99% beneficial ownership (adjustable with notice); $150,000 commitment fee payable in shares or pre-funded warrants, with a true-up mechanism.
• Registration and operational mechanics: Company must file a resale registration statement within 30 days and use best efforts to declare it effective within 60 days; failure triggers liquidated damages (5% of subscription amount per affected holder and 18% interest on late payments). Company delivered irrevocable transfer-agent instructions and placed 180-day lock-ups on certain insiders.

Why It Matters

• Capital and liquidity: The transactions provide immediate capital ($5.5M at close, $2.0M upon registration effectiveness) and a $15M equity line to fund operations, working capital, and general corporate purposes (subject to use restrictions in the agreement).
• Potential dilution and governance effects: Conversions and equity line draws can dilute existing shareholders; conversion and issuance are limited by 4.99% beneficial ownership and a 19.99% exchange cap unless stockholders approve larger issuances (the company must call recurring special meetings to seek approvals).
• Nasdaq compliance: Boxlight states it believes stockholders’ equity now exceeds the $2.5M threshold required for continued listing under Nasdaq Rule 5550(b)(1) and is awaiting Nasdaq’s formal determination — an important step for listing status and liquidity.
• Investor protections and costs: The preferred carries default penalties (20% default dividend and default premium on stated value upon certain defaults) and the registration agreement includes significant liquidated-damage remedies for untimely registration — factors that affect dilution timing and company costs.
