Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 13, 2026, Silvaco Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time, at its option through the Sales Agent, shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $15.0 million (the "Shares"). The issuance and sale, if any, of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291212), which became effective on November 21, 2025, and the related prospectus supplement dated March 13, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), in each case filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The sale, if any, of Shares under the Sales Agreement will be made by any method permitted that is 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”), including sales made directly on The Nasdaq Global Market or any other trading market for the Company’s common stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent will use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company is not obligated to sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement. The Company or the Sales Agent may at any time suspend or terminate the offering of the Shares upon notice to the other party and subject to other conditions.
The compensation payable to the Sales Agent as sales agent shall be up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold through the sales agent pursuant to the Sales Agreement. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Sales Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement, and the Company has agreed in the Sales Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company also made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the Shares in the Sales Agreement.
The Sales Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the exhibit attached hereto.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Sales Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Sales Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Sales Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Sales Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.
A copy of the legal opinion of White & Case LLP relating to the shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the Sales Agreement is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
