Owlet Announces Closing of Public Offering and Comprehensive Debt Refinancing for Total Gross Proceeds of up to $46.6 Million

The Company closed on $11.6 million in proceeds from the underwritten public offering and up to $35 million in proceeds from the debt refinancing.

Owlet, Inc. (“Owlet” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OWLT), the pioneer of smart infant monitoring, today announced the closing of its underwritten public offering of 3,135,136 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Offering”). The shares of Class A common stock were sold at a public offering price of $3.70 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. All of the shares in the Offering were sold by the Company. The gross proceeds to Owlet from the Offering were approximately $11.6 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

Owlet intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, capital expenditures, working capital and general and administrative expenses.

Owlet previously announced its entrance into a term loan agreement with Western Technology Investment (the “Term Loan Agreement”) and a revolving line of credit with Mountain Ridge Capital (the “Credit Agreement,” and together with the “Term Loan Agreement,” the “Debt Refinancing”). The Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan facility of up to $15 million. The Term Loan Agreement consists of a first tranche of $10 million, of which $7.5 million has funded and $2.5 million is available to fund until December 31, 2024. The second tranche of $5 million is available after June 30, 2025, subject to certain conditions under the Term Loan Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility of up to $15 million, increasing to up to $20 million on the first anniversary of the Credit Agreement’s effective date. As a result of the Debt Refinancing, the Company expects further access to capital and increased operational flexibility.

Titan Partners Group, a division of American Capital Partners, acted as the sole bookrunner for the Offering and served as financial advisor to the Company on its Debt Refinancing.

The Offering was made by Owlet pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. The Offering was made only by means of a written prospectus and prospectus supplement that form a part of the registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering has been filed with the SEC and is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of the final prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering may also be obtained by request from: Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, 4 World Trade Center, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10007, by phone at (929) 833-1246 or by email at prospectus@titanpartnersgrp.com.
