CUSIP No. 50535E108

SCHEDULE 13D

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On August 26, 2022, the Issuer entered into a Subordinated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Subordinated SPA”) with Holdings and the other parties thereto pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer agreed to issue to the investors subordinated secured convertible notes due April 6, 2026 (“Subordinated Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $17.45 million, with Holdings subscribing to purchase a Subordinated Note in the original principal amount of $3,256,549 (the “Holdings Subordinated Note”). The Holdings Subordinated Note, together with 246,068 shares of Common Stock and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 296,546 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, was issued to Holdings on or about December 6, 2022 pursuant to the Subordinated SPA.

On September 20, 2023, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Holdings and the other investors named therein, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue to Holdings, and Holdings agreed to purchase from the Issuer, 3,300 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3.3 million at a per share purchase price of $1,000. A total of 2,400 shares of Series A Stock were sold by the Issuer to Holdings at a closing that was held on September 20, 2023 (the “Initial Closing”), and an additional 900 shares of Series A Stock were sold by the Issuer to Holdings at a closing that was held on October 20, 2023 (the “Second Closing”), in each case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. Each share of Series A Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the SPA, the Issuer issued to Holdings (A) at the Initial Closing, five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,328,484 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (“Warrants”), and (B) at the Second Closing, Warrants to purchase up to 900,000 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants are not exercisable until such time as the Issuer obtains stockholder approval for all Common Stock issuable in respect of the Series A Stock, the Warrants and the New Notes (as defined below) (“Stockholder Approval”), and thus the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall not be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons until Stockholder Approval is obtained.

The SPA also provides that the Issuer will enter into an Exchange Agreement with Investors that hold Subordinated Notes as soon as practicable following the Initial Closing, pursuant to which the Issuer will issue to such Investors new convertible notes on substantially similar terms to the Subordinated Notes other than that such new notes will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at an effective price of $1.00 per share subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable new indenture pursuant to which the applicable series of new notes will be issued by the Issuer (the “New Notes”), in exchange for such Investors’ Subordinated Notes. The Issuer entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the relevant Investors, including Holdings, on October 11, 2023. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Holdings exchanged the Holdings Subordinated Note for a New Note in the original principal amount of $3,256,549. Prior to the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained, pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of October 11, 2023, by and among the Issuer, ProSomnus Holdings, Inc. and ProSomnus Sleep Technologies, Inc., as guarantors, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Subordinated Indenture”), the New Notes are convertible at the conversion price applicable to the Subordinated Notes, for an aggregate of 626,260 shares of Common Stock. The Subordinated Indenture provides that a customary beneficial ownership blocker, set at 4.99%, shall apply to the New Notes.

Prior to the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained, each holder of Series A Stock may only convert its shares of Series A Stock into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 19.95% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the entrance into the SPA multiplied by (ii) such holder’s percentage of the aggregate proceeds raised under the SPA from the issuance of the Series A Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share. As a result, prior to the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Holdings may convert its shares of Series A Stock shall be approximately 940,785 shares, which shares shall be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

The foregoing descriptions of certain material terms of the Subordinated SPA, the SPA and the Subordinated Indenture are not, and no not purport to be, complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, which have been filed as Exhibits 2, 3 and 4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
