Item 3.02              Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On September 20, 2018, ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (the “Company”) issued an aggregate of 3,975,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,987,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.045 per whole share, to the purchasers under the securities purchase agreement, dated April 2, 2018, as amended (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the purchasers. The purchasers exchanged an aggregate of 178.875 shares of series D convertible preferred stock, which would have been convertible into 3,975,000 shares of Common Stock, for the newly issued shares of Common Stock and warrants. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the purchasers had the right to exchange their shares of series D convertible preferred stock into the securities offered by the Company in certain future securities offerings and the purchasers exercised that right in connection with the Company’s previously announced offering of 11,688,890 units at a purchase price of $0.045 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase 0.5 of a share of Common Stock. The warrants issued to the purchasers have the same terms as the warrants included in the units offered by the Company, will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock and warrants, including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to the purchasers in the exchange was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
