Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 7, 2018, Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp., a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with The Benchmark Company, LLC and ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (the “Placement Agents”) pursuant to which the Placement Agents shall serve as the placement agents for the Company, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement”) of 4,250,000 common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company pursuant to a registered direct offering and 4,250,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase common shares of the Company pursuant to a private placement. The Warrant may not be exercised for the first six months after issuance and exercisable for five years thereafter at a per Warrant exercise price equal to $2.56.
On November 7, 2018, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with accredited investors for the sale of the 4,250,000 Shares and the 4,250,000 Warrants in the Placement. The securities purchase agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the purchasers and other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Placement is scheduled to close on November 9, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Company expects to receive approximately $7.75 million in net proceeds, after the Placement Agent’s commission and reimbursements but before other expenses. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Placement for the design and development of its proposed two-seater sports car, the Tofino.
The Placement Agency Agreement is included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 6-K to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Placement Agency Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific date, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The foregoing description of the Placement Agency Agreement, the securities purchase agreements and the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement and form of securities purchase agreement and the form of the Warrant, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 4.1 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
