On September 3, 2020, ADMA Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as agent (“Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell (the “Offering”), from time to time, at its option, through or to the Agent, up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”). Any Shares to be offered and sold under the Distribution Agreement will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-256643), filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021, amended on August 3, 2021, and declared effective on August 3, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, dated September 3, 2021, that was filed with the SEC on September 3, 2021, 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 “Securities Act”), or if specified by the Company, by any other method permitted by law, including, but not limited to, in negotiated and block transactions.

Subject to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on the Company’s behalf, based upon the Company’s instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Company will pay the Agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of the Shares under the Distribution Agreement. The Company will also reimburse the Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Distribution Agreement, not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate. The Company has agreed to provide the Agent with customary indemnification rights with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the Agent may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (a) the sale of the maximum number or amount of the Shares permitted to be sold under the Distribution Agreement, (b) the termination of the Distribution Agreement by either of the parties thereto.

The Company currently intends to use any net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including procurement of raw materials, source plasma, supply chain initiatives and production expenditures, funding expansion of plasma centers, working capital, capital expenditures, expansion and resources for commercialization activities, and other potential research and development and business opportunities.

The foregoing description of the Distribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Distribution Agreement, which is included hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Shares in any state or country in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or country.
