Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 19, 2023, Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten registered offering (the “Offering”) of 4,285,715 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $14.00 per share. The Company estimates gross proceeds from the Offering, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately $60 million. The Offering is expected to close on April 21, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company currently expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or research and development, as well as costs related to the purchase and post-closing integration with the Company of the previously disclosed acquisition of the REMI Robotic Navigation System business and research and development activities related to the integrated business.

The Company made customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-271336) (the “Registration Statement”) in the Underwriting Agreement and also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The representations, warranties and agreements contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties to such agreement. The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective Registration Statement, including the prospectus dated April 19, 2023, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated April 19, 2023 (the “Prospectus”). This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the shares of Common Stock.

In connection with the Offering, the Company and the Company’s directors and executive officers also agreed not to sell or transfer any Common Stock without first obtaining the written consent of the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, for 90 days after the date of the Prospectus.

The foregoing description of certain terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The legal opinion of Dentons Durham Jones Pinegar P.C. relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01

Other Events
