Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 27, 2023 (the "Effective Date"), Hillstream BioPharma, Inc. (the
"Company") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement")
with ThinkEquity LLC ("ThinkEquity"), as representative of the several
underwriters listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the "Underwriters"), relating to the
public offering (the "Offering") of 5,300,000 shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a
price to the public of $0.50 per Share (the "Offering Price"). Pursuant to the
terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has also granted the
Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 795,000 shares of
Common Stock (the "Option Shares" and together with the Shares, the
"Securities") to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Offering Price less the
underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds to the Company from the
sale of the Shares, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions
and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be
approximately $2.2 million assuming no exercise by the Underwriters of their
over-allotment option for the Option Shares, or $2.6 million if the Underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option for the Option Shares in full. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the advancement of
HSB-1216 and the development of other product candidates (HSB-3215 and HSB-1940)
in the Company's pipeline and general corporate purposes and working capital.
The Securities will be issued pursuant to the Company's shelf registration
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270684) previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 17, 2023 and declared
effective by the Commission on March 24, 2023 and a related prospectus
supplement dated April 27, 2023. The Offering is expected to close on or about
May 2, 2023, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to issue ThinkEquity, or its
designees, warrants (the "Representative's Warrants") to purchase such number of
shares of the Company's common stock equal to 3% of the number of Securities
sold in the Offering at an initial exercise price of $0.625 per share, subject
to adjustment. The Representative's Warrants are exercisable at any time and
from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and one half year period
commencing 180 days from the commencement of sales of the shares of common stock
in the Offering.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the
Company has agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company's
securities for a period ending 90 days after the Effective Date without first
obtaining the written consent of ThinkEquity. In addition, the Company's
officers and directors have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of
the Company's securities held by them for a period ending 180 days after the
Effective Date without first obtaining the written consent of ThinkEquity.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties,
agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions.
The Underwriting Agreement provides for indemnification by the Underwriters of
the Company, its directors and officers, and by the Company of the Underwriters,
for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and affords certain rights of contribution with respect
thereto.

the Representative's Warrants set forth herein does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Underwriting Agreement
(including the form of Representative's Warrant which is included as Exhibit B
