Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 24, 2019, H/Cell Energy Corporation (the “Company”) provided written notice to the accredited investor (the “Investor”), with which the Company previously entered into an equity purchase agreement dated March 12, 2019 (the “Equity Agreement”) that, as a result of the Investor’s material breach, the Company elected to terminate the Equity Agreement, effective immediately.
Section 10.10 of the Equity Agreement required the Investor to, “do and perform . . . all such further acts and things . . . as [the Company] may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this [Equity] Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.” The Company used its best efforts to reach an agreement with the Investor on proposed amendments to the Equity Agreement to accomplish the purposes of the Equity Agreement while satisfying conditions set forth by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission for equity line transactions. The Company put forth several different proposals, of which the Investor finally accepted one by e-mail, only to subsequently renege on its acceptance and then the Investor attempted to only put forth suggestions that were not in accordance with the SEC guidance.
As a result of the Investor’s material breach of the Equity Agreement, the Company demanded the return of the $10,000 of fees previously paid to the Investor, as well as the return of the 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the manager of the Investor.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
