TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Alarum Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq, TASE: ALAR) (“Alarum” or the “Company”), a global provider of enterprise and consumers internet access solutions, today announces that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement (the "Private Placement") with several private investors, for gross proceeds of $4.25 million.

The Private Placement will consist of 187,225 units (the "Units"), each consisting of 10 restricted American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), each ADS representing 10 ordinary shares of the Company, and a non-tradeable warrant to purchase 3 ADSs, exercisable at a price of $2.72 per ADS for a period of two and half years from the date of issuance.

The price for Unit is $22.7 and is based on a price of $2.27 per one ADS and a warrant to purchase 0.3 of ADS, representing a 10% discount on the average American Depositary Share price on the Nasdaq Capital Market in the five trading days preceding the date of entering the Private Placement securities purchase agreement. The Private Placement is expected to close on or about September 15, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company's Chairman of the board (the “Chairman”), its chief executive officer (the “CEO”) and its chief financial officer (“CFO”), are investing more than $1.0 million in the Private Placement¹.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement predominantly to support and strengthen its balance sheet, as well as for other corporate purposes.

Prior to entering the Private Placement securities purchase agreement, the Company provided notice of termination of its at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Offering”). Up to termination of the ATM Offering, the Company issued and sold approximately 240,000 ADSs, raising total gross proceeds of approximately $770,000.

The securities being issued and sold in the Private Placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") registering the resale of the ADSs issued in the Private Placement (the "Resale Shares").

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities being offered in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offering of the Resale Shares under a resale registration statement will only be by means of a prospectus.
